-=> Quoting Roger Fingas to Lee Jackson <=-
 RF> Canada!  (I refuse to say "eh," BTW.)  ;-) Taking a look at
 RF> your discussion of DNF's music, I was just 
 LJ> thinking that one style you
 RF> might want to consider is Hollywood-style orchestral music, as in
 RF> Shiny's MDK.  It works well in many situations.
 LJ> That's my primary style of choice.  Check out past stuff for examples:
 LJ> "Mistache" from ROTT, "Ah Geez" from D3D, and so on.  
 LJ> Genres 'R' us, though
 LJ> - as long as they don't ask me to write a Patsy Cline-
 LJ> style number or fully
 LJ> notate a jazz chart in Coltrane or Davis' styles.  I 
 LJ> might pull it off, but
 LJ> I wouldn't really want to be there to hear the end result.
        Will there be MIDI music, or just CD audio?  I prefer CD audio, of 
course.
 LJ> Most likely, I'll stick to what worked for D3D - a mixture of rock and
 LJ> orchestral, with more of a blend this time.  Most of the D3D pieces were
 LJ> rather "segregated", for lack of a better term - either
 LJ> all orchestral, all
 LJ> rock, or all something else.  The few that I mixed up 
 LJ> came out rather well,
 LJ> so I'll probably experiment further along those lines and see exactly 
ow
 LJ> far I can take it.  At least for a few more charts, that is.
        I *would* like to hear a few (just a few) electronica pieces.  Those 
can really get your pulse going.
