A very atmospheric piece you wrote here Al!
We can imagine that it would suit the movie very well indeed!
And it's all midi? Well, that's hardly noticeable.
We also dig the very cool ending.
Great work.
Rob and Anne-Marie Hi Rob & Anne-Marie, Yep, all midi except the low-key drums. And thanks for mentioning the ending ... you have no idea how many I did that before I got what I wanted ... kind of like fanfare at the end! Thank you for the very nice compliments! Alan

Hello, Alan
A very pretty tune. Very movie-ish.
Various perfumes are well blended.
Not only Japanese mode but also other world's mode.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, Thank you so much ... I'm delighted you enjoyed it! Alan

Terrific job on this, Alan. Very good listen.
Congrats on using BIAB for generating a bit of cash! Floyd, Thanks a bunch! It wasn't lot of money but it made a couple of car payments and a nice dinner! Alan

Wow! It's very easy to understand why they liked it so much.
For our ears it perfectly captures the scenario you described.
Midi (other than Midi super tracks) is a mystery to me but whatever you did works so well.
Excellent!!!
J&B Thanks so much, guys! Midi is a mystery to me, too! I just loaded the tracks and farted around with them until I git a sound that I liked. (I like to give technical explanations ... ha!) Thanks again! ALan

This reminds me a bit of Feudal Japan from the tone! I love the mix of flavours to this one! Nicely done. Hi Ember. It's always a treat to hear from the PG Music folks. That was part of the intent ... Feudal Japan. I'm more than delighted it came across to you. Thansk again! Alan

Really pretty Al!! Sounds like perfect score music. Didn't know you did instrumentals. Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg, Thanks! I do a **LOT** of film music. But I don't post them here because most them are done on a different program. In fact, I have an entire album of soundtracks pieces called "Sounds of the City". I tried to capture the nuances of the various aspects of the big city. Thanks for your kind words! Alan

Dear Mr. David...
I have appreciated the special function of music composed for dramatic films ever since I was kid. This piece, "Remembering Tokyo" (what an evocative title!) mesmerized me to the point that I found myself imagining what the visual scheme of the main title sequence might be, based on the melancholy, perhaps even tragic quality of your music.
This is one of the most unique compositions created in B-I-A-B that I've heard on the "User's Forum." Is the film available for viewing in the United States?
Sincerely,
bluage (a.k.a. Loren) Hi Loren, I apologize for the tardy reply. My wife's health is not good and I've been tied up with that lately. I'm glad you enjoyed the track! I always loved film music ... I grew up listening to the soundtracks of the old movies from the forties and fifties and have been enamored with them since. The film people are shooting out od town for a while. When they return, I'll ask them about the name of the movie and where it might be seen. Thanks for your kind words! Alan

Hi David, Wonderful work! I love it. The Japanese flavor is well expressed and mixed with other countries'. The sitar sound is effectively used in place of the Koto sound. .., about a young Japanese couple in San Francisco who were getting married. ... The hangup was he came from a family of strict cultural tradition and she was from a family who'd loved all over the world.
I know a very similar Japanese couple. In this case, she is from a family of strict Japanese cultural tradition which is very rare today in Japan especially in large cities. She is from the city in Kyushu that was a castle town and therefore still inherits some of the Samurai-age culture. She herself is free from the tradition. They live in Tokyo for long and met there. They got married last year. Their wedding was held in Hawaii. Hiroshi

Dear Mr. David... I am truly sorry to read that your wife is experiencing less-than-good health. Boy, oh, boy, our bodies sure like to remind us who's the boss, don't they?  Well, my late mother, Edith, taught me that you pray for what you really need, and not what you want, so, I am going to petition Our Creator to deliver some quick and lasting relief to your wife from whatever is ailing her. What is your wife's first name, so I can let Our Creator know for whom I'm asking the blessings? Most sincerely, "bluage" (a.k.a. Loren)
