Instrumental illusions

I write instrumental music, save the occasional simulated choir bit. Indeed, all sounds on my album(s) are digital simulations of real instruments. Guitars, keyboards, piano, accordion, trumpet, flute, cello, bass, cymbals, timpanis, and so on, are all fake. As such, the music is arguably electronic, even though it’s made to sound "authentic".

The advantage of using simulated sounds is that you don’t have to deal with moody musicians and egos — other than your own, of course. The album is thus also unfiltered by performers’ interpretations, and contains pure compositions. It is music per se subsistere. Or should that be per se esse? Or just per se? Why not music a se? I never could get Latin right.

Anyway, just so there’s no doubt about it, it’s darned good music. At least I had endless fun making it, although a certain amount of agony was involved, too. But hey, all good art comes from suffering and pain.
