The 2nd movement is the most challenging for the electronic instrument.  Taking the lead, the soloist presents an acapella theme with all the expression and emotion of an acoustic performance.  Though the mechanics of expression are different, the melody is full and emotional.  While synthesizers are not known for their heartfelt love themes, the soloist shows the full range of expression possible, as the musician makes subtle changes and movements.
A soft and swiftly-moving development brings energy to the love theme, just as the acoustic orchestra swells with a slowly-moving melody.  The contrast between fast and slow, builds to a poignant climax.
The acapella theme returns after the cadenza; this time, not so lonely. A quick recap suddenly stops, for a contemplative ending, with the synth soloist firmly in command.

Synth Concerto #1, 2nd Mov't

Paganini wrote this catchy little melody in 1807. Since then, a hundred composers have composed their own variations. These are the newest.

Painted Variations on a Theme of Paganini

A solo piano piece, for multi-tasking millennials with relatively short attention spans. Nothing boring here. After an initial search for direction, and a few tangent paths, focus returns to the task at hand, and much has been accomplished in a short time.

Slightly Distracted

Relaxing, inspirational soft piano music to study, sleep or meditate. Aesthetic Piano is an entire album of these, played on a sampled Bösendorfer Imperial Grand.

Looking Forward

Full orchestra built on a keyboard using acoustic samples plus synthesizer.  Expression, vibrato and dynamic range make acoustic and electronic sounds come alive with some traditional orchestrations. "When I'm Ready" uses this combination to welcome the classical orchestra to new sounds.

When I'm Ready

Lots of things evolve: history, landscapes, relationships, your entire life! Even the size, shape and character of the universe is constantly changing. It's all a work in progress, with Mother Nature leaving nothing stationary. The music itself Evolves from chaos to beauty.
Evolve chronicles the process, which is similar for all of the above, and more. Pick something you're familiar with that is still evolving, and listen along for stages and turning points. 

Evolve

The making of rain from evaporation to clouds, lightning, thunder, droplets, waterfalls and streams.

Rain

The 2nd Concerto re-establishes the synth's parity with the orchestra, by adding new sounds at every turn. As a versatile chameleon soloist, the synthesizer re-invents itself continuously. This Concerto is a spirited showcase of a synth's best talents: quick, sharp, sometimes quirky sounds, and often repeated notes and patterns. With many rubato, slowing and accelerating tempo changes, and full dynamic range, the synth is given a wide open opportunity to shed it's reputation of being mechanical and unfeeling. The piece is perfect for a university or community orchestra, with a talented young keyboardist, and an eye to the future.

Synth Concerto #2, Andante Cantabile

Passionate, emotional love theme for Chamber Orchestra PLUS String Quartet AND Synth.

Adagio Rubato

Relaxing meditation 2nd movement of Symphony #2 by Orchestronics. Synthesizer realizations to soothe and calm. Perfect for yoga and concentration.

Symphony 2.2

Just enjoy the sometimes goofy synth tracks taking you on a journey from the Bayou to Morocco. Let your imagination take you wherever you wanna be.

Symphony 2.3

Orchestronics (Or'-kes-TRON-iks) is the all-inclusive ensemble. The orchestra we know, is a collection of emotional button-pushing instruments: powerful brass, romantic strings, a sexy oboe, nerdy clarinet, airy flutes...  It's time to add to that palette of rich sounds with new instruments, to create a nearly limitless, and evolving ensemble.
