Wonderful Matt and so informative as to how you not only arrange it but also put it all together. In todays world it's great having music technology but you need to be a musician to use it fully and understand instrumental combinations. Things have come a long way since I use to orchestrate the hard way even with Sibelius! Note by note! Ur super talented Matt. A gift indeed to music dear! 🤗🤗

Loved seeing your creativity, Matt. Yes, more of these videos, please.

Would love more of this type of video Matt, as it shows not just your musical talent, but the technical aspect of producing this type of piece. You gave a substantial about of information which as a retired follower (or as some would say, 'past it'), I loved to hear and understand. Your head must be constantly alive with ideas, and I don't know how you managed to sleep with it all, but I sure for one appreciated all your efforts. Thanks.

Great to be able to watch the way you put it all together…..such a brilliant tool in this age of IT

I agree with you Matt about minor keys. The 'cello accompaniment needs a bit more oomph at the start - great that you are exploring this Matt -it does not diminish Mozart's greatness in writing this magnificent music. You have taken his wonderful music and added to it in a modern dimension. I remember when the Moog Synthesiser came out in the 1960's and recorded Bach. Many purists were not impressed including my teacher - but others loved it as it was just taken what was written and developing it into a new medium. This did not diminish Bach's music but enhanced it and introduced it in a new medium. Good on you dear man - I am in my 80's but I completely understand what you are doing and achieving and totally support you. Keep going young maestro.

Super interesting. I have no talent at all in doing things like that. But it looks and sounds amazing. Do you have a video which explains, how you get the content into that green and blue boxes? From school I have a tiny memory on how to read music scores... but except pauses and full and half notes I cannot remember much.

This is fascinating stuff. You must have so much music playing inside your head to produce musical works of such quality and complexity. I love electronic music, Dance and Trance. At one time stupid people used to say this is not music. Gary Numan got that from the press. They seem to think that you could push down a key which was labeled "Hit Record". Electronic music is complex and the synths as they became available over time with the aid of computer programs and the ability to sample have revolutionised music. This is an incredible piece which shows sheer genius and a thorough understanding of music and scores is remarkable. James.
