One of the things I wanted to accomplish with the vignettes was stay far away from solo piano music. I had done a whole bunch of sonatinas, and Sibelius had improved to the point that the fake instruments didn’t sound that horrible. I needed to experiment. I needed to master multiple instruments and orchestration. Everything was way too melody and harmony. I really needed to do something about that.

The NotePerformer audio of the second string vignette is finally uploaded to my website. Last thing I do before uploading and preparing this update notice is listen to the MP3 just to make sure it sounds okay. Today, I accidentally listed to the old version without realizing it, thought it was fine, and only then discovered I was listening to the wrong one. So I grabbed the new version, listened, and it sounds better. Yay, I guess.

The first string vignette sounds so much better with NotePerformer than with Sibelius’ built-in playback thing. Sibelius’ playback sounds pretty good, it’s true, but NotePerformer is so much better. Money well spent.

"The connection to Macbeth is not immediately evident, which is quite a good thing and though that play may have been the book's inspiration, Pyrrhic Kingdom stands entirely on its own as quite a fascinating example of expressionist, even avant garde fantasy/horror." –Judge, 22nd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards
