The first 'draft' of 'Awakening The Avenger' is now up on the site. It is a *long* way from finished. I have a lot of fiddling to do with the instrumentation. The changes jar a bit in places. I also really, really, REALLY need a good sharp sounding drum kit for Hydrogen. I want a hard but light kick drum (not some woolly muffled sounding thing), a nice rattly snare, high hat, cymbals, wood block etc. Everything needs to sound very bright and clean if it is to sit well. Previously I would have used the GM kit in my Sound Canvas but I very much want to do this all in software. The separate bare bones of 'Wakeup' and 'Avenger' have been laying around in my musical 'spare parts' box for a while, but with a key change here and a tempo change there they weld together almost seamlessly :) I really must rummage around in that box more often! > > > > As usual the website is http://www.folderol.ukfsn.org -- F
