Progressive Electronica

Hi,

I wrote to her a couple of years back and she replied very nicely and thanked me, for the poem. It was a poem about a rose opening up in the sun in the morning. She was surprised that someone would write a poem for her, it seemed to me, however, I am not sure that the feeling reverberated to help her create some new music.

As mentioned, she was an "arranger" and I think that her ability in TD was to make sure that the new orchestrations of the various pieces, with herself first, then Iris included and then the violin, worked well together and that requires someone with a keen sense of touch and feel about music ... which is probably not as strong if you are a composer, as you would be looking at someone else's music. Your "ideas" or "thoughts" would ot be in place when you are putting together your own piece, whereas when you are working on someone else's a lot of the feeling vibrations are already in place and only require to be extended or redefined. And I don't think that she missed very many points with it, not to mention do an excellent job on saxophone and flute, both of which were also utilized within the electronic and symphonic design of things with us not even knowing it, it it was done as a "sample"

I keep hoping to hear from her, but I'm not sure it will happen anymore. Sometimes, waiting for forever is a good thing, but I would not be surprised if she had just about quit it all ... and I have a feeling that she wanted to be personally involved with Edgar and it did not go far enough for her. That's a feeling, not necessarily a reality. He would have been her "mentor" in a lot of ways. And one day, the mentorship was gone like a brick on the wall taking you out for good! 

And honestly, I think that TD should have made an attempt to work with her at least one more album or two to see if something could be done, but I wonder if someone's ego felt that she would be in the way with her more symphonic and classically minded style that Edgar favored all of his life, including his experiments!

I just watched that the other day.
