To anyone interested, I finished up mu latest cd yesterday and have put the last 6 cuts on my site. Aptly named "Across The Genres" because it does have a taste of each genre I normally work in. Also though, I think it shows off the versatility of the Tyros and how it can fit into all three of the different styles. So I added 3 new vocal pieces and 3 new instrumentals (the 3 at the top of each Tyros columns) "Before Her Time" (has a rough cut in the clip, but I wanted to be able to put the soprano sax and violin up to be heard) this showcases both very nicely I think "Mind Games" A bit of creative revoicing and the Ty fits a New Age mold very well I think. "Spilt Milk" Straight up "unplugged" style that shows off the mega guitars well "Since You've Been Gone" Nice acoustic intro. Thanks if you go and have a listen, they are all short cuts of the full versions, so even with dial up, you shouldn't get too much older waiting for the D/L. http://imjazzed.homestead.com/Index.html current work page.... Feedback as always is appreciated. jam on, Terry ------------------ http://imjazzed.homestead.com/Index.html

Hi Terry, my favorite one is "Since you've been gone", because you sing and, as you know, I like your voice a lot (it has a pleasant "midwest" accent, I think, very "country-ish" anyway. Re. "Spilt milk", I liked the Tyros style a lot (which one did you use, btw?), but I think that you would get better results if you somehow could build a "sonic progression" in your songs. In other words, (if I were you), I would start the song with just the rhytm and a lead line, then, verse after verse or simply with the time, would add a countermelody or a pad or something else. The way the song is built it's like you throw everything in from the beginning (Tyros, Chapman stick, tablas, bass, etc) and you go on in a steady way from the beginning to the end. So the song lacks a climactic point and is too much "crowded" from the very beginning. OK, this is just a poor man's opinion: throw it in the wastebasket and do as you like most. Happy playing! Andrea
