Greg,
I just spent some time listening to your music making that you've posted to Soundcloud and must say it’s very captivating. Movements - for Trombone Quartet starts out very Philip Glass (Koyaanisqatsi: Pruit Igoe) and transforms itself into a very Bachian feel. The rest of your music that I listened to: Imaginary Dinner, On the Beach, The Passion of Beckett Zayd and Elegy for Strings had, in the best way possible, a strong flavor of Ray Lynch and Karl Jenkins’ more melodic pieces. I loved the stark pining and dark aloneness of Elegy, with just a ray of hope’s sunshine to trace its arc. On the Beach has strong hints of Glass’ Trilogy Sonata. All very original, yet harkening to their influences.
Keep composing and developing your art; it is very human and it reaches. And that reaching is truly all a creator of art can hope for.
Rick
