Greetings all; After Doug's chain yanking, thought I should reply. thanks Doug. To date the project has received numerous submissions, some of which may not be up to the quality of the others. So, I have been trying to determine what to do with those submissions in a positive way such that we encourage folks rather than discourage them. Secondly, my job has been yanking my chain as well. FYI, I am a network engineer for IBM here in Rochester, Mn. (enough said). Thirdly, I have been absolutely astounded by some of the submissions. 1)Stefan Keller - flutist extrodinaire. Can't help but to compare to Ian Anderson although the genre comes no-where close. Stefan's understanding of the Flute is outstanding. The first submission: A light hearted piece that dances around. From single notes to harmonic accompniament and then on to, a slightly disharmonic fade out. Very interesting. Its name Fool Moon is descriptive of the piece. The second piece:A chromatic scalar piece with background loops interweaving its own harmonies. This piece is aptly named Crazy Queen. Trace Four (Flute Only): Starts out with a bongo like drum drone. Reminisent of a very determined walk somewhere or perhaps an insesant rain. Mid piece hears flute echos which build up to a out-front flute piece traversing chromatic scales until the melody finds its way for a brief time until the bongo like sounds fade the piece. 2)Doug Wyatt, love that out in space feel, the sound of electric guitar in a bowed manner. Doug submitted two tracks. Very esoteric while being very captivating at the same time. This first submission would be very much a must-have for planetariums across the country showing how the universe and or other orb was created. The piece gives birth to rhymics in the Mixilodian mode of happiness, spontinaity. Very pleasant piece, from relative disorder, then on to order, it ends with a look back. The second submission: Starts in a primordial stew, with sinister intent, but not overbearing a communications with one's self. Mid song- There is a meeting with another sinister entity of which communication carries on until both are very much enjoying their sinister happening, when at once, there appears a modal change which ends in a look back to peacefulness. The Thrid submission: Atonal bell-like harmonies and chord substitutions (jazz feel) with a solid rhythm, exudes, at times an Eastern feel, with resolve to major chordal structures. Slight hesitations, additional melody, and finally the resolve at the end of the piece after a very prolonged search for the final note, ahhhh, not dead yet, the piece ressurrects itself with a little more clamity (very humerous part) an industrial revival. That's all for now, work continues on the project albeit slow. I have begun work with a studio engineer on the mix down stage. Although, we have not, due to my work schedule been able to meet in person yet.

Thanks for the patience, good things take time and we will ensure this project is top notch. Adios for now.
