very nice and filmic. I keep on thinking that you should promote your work for (independent?) film, television or radio.

The fact that sometimes the soprano played on the low notes seemed to interact with the rest sounding a bit like a trumpet made me think that you could probably introduce a third instrument in your compositions.

Thanks Milandro. You've always been very kind and supportive, but also made good critical observations. Seems to be a theme you have of thinking this sort of thing would work with visual images. I tend to think that way, but just don't have any idea how to put it together. Want a job as an agent?

You're right about a third instrument. I'd especially love to play with a bass player. We sometimes have a drummer, but not usually for practices (most of my recordings are from our regular practices where we try out new ideas). I sometimes think melodically like I’m playing a trumpet rather than a sax. Interesting that you picked that up. Afraid I can't quite get the "BLAT" sound of a trumpet though.

Cheers man, great to have you chime in.

I wish I had those kinds of contacts which could make me an agent! But that is the reason why I suggested you to get in touch with some independent film makers

I think the attack of a trumpet is rather different from a saxophone but some of the low notes definitely suggested a trumpet to me. When a friend of mine played her curved soprano often I thought that some of the medium high notes sounded like a flute, maybe I am crazy! :)

I much admire your tone and now that I am attempting to playing a little sopranino I appreciate your tone on it even better!

Needs more chaos. I find it a little too ordered for my taste, but your horn playing is very nice.

Speaking of the images thing, my major at uni is photography, and video art will be a big chunk of it. All this talk about imagery and music is giving me ideas.
