Keep it up, up, up, up, up!"-- THE BAD PLUS ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- "Hey, I love the fugues. They've got a real pleasant naturalness about them. If you don't object, I'd like to put them up on my internet radio station,Postclassic Radio. Thanks, and keep at it. .....I think Nancarrow would have been pleased." --(about three fugues for conlon nancarrow)- KYLE GANN ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- "Man, those fugues are great!! Totally intense and dark (in a good way)! Thanks so much for sharing. They have a lot of depth and great sense of tonality..."--(about three fugues for conlon nancarrow)------- MARY HALVORSON ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- 5 out of 20 musicians agree, Matt LeGroulx's music is adequate! ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- HTTP://WWW.PUREVOLUME.COM/MATTLEGROULX
