John Roberge  (Modern Composers) Metal Head that prefers sophistication and an orchestral backup. (9 Downloads) (1715 Views) Ave. 9.5 from 17 votes 12 Comments) Icarus Resurrection Suite Op.1 (Modern Composers) Track Comments First Movement: Corona Reentry, Second Movement: Prominence Dance, Third Movement: Deep Solar Diver, This composition was completed and published on exactly the 5 year anniversery of the day I passed my final checkride and recieved my private pilots license. I did not even realize it until after the song was finished a few hours ago. A trivial but interesting and apropos coincidence.

There are a few out there but I can count them on my fingers with room to spare. So, my consideration is that if the "pros" won't make the kind of music I like to listen to most then I'll just have to do it myself. And besides, using my computer to compose music with is far more fun than any video game I ever played. I consider my songs like they were my children, I get my fair share of complements on them but no one will ever love them as much as I do. The popular trend in rock has been to grow more and more primitive. I want the music I listen to grow more complex and sophisticated not less. Bridgeing the gap between the genres "Metal" and "Classical" could be described as adding "Horsepower" to "Aesthetic" or bridgeing the gap between "physiological impact" and "pretty sophistication".
