Those instruments sound great!

Hi, I'm Mike Leghorn. I really appreciate being part of your community! I live in Evanston, Il (U.S.A.) with my lovely wife and daughter, and myriad of pets. I have a day job in IT, but at night I'm a composer / arranger. I do primarily electronic music, due to the high convenience factor. My biggest passion for the past year has been arranging The Planets for synthesizer. I've finally completed it (although I will continue to make a few tweaks here and there) and have posted it on my soundcloud page. Now that I've finished that, I'm looking forward to getting back into composing. I'll definitely do some more arranging in the near future -- maybe the Goldberg Variations. My setup: Asus i7 laptop, Windows 7 64-bit, 12 GB RAM, Sonar X1 64-bit. For audio interface I use USB Audio out to a DAC in my headphone amp. I use Sennheiser HD800s. Music is my main passion. I've been listening to classical music for more than 40 years. I have an immense collection. My favorite composers are (in roughly chronological order): Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Berlioz, Wagner, Chopin, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Elgar, Prokofiev, Bartok, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Debussy, Ravel, Respighi. I compose and arrange to reflect back my deep love for music.
