@D£LL $: Thanks! :-)

@Soundd:Thanks! Yeah, well, music on Linux.... It's still requires more technical skill and configuration and there are not a lot of pre-canned settings. This is bad and good. The less you have for you set up already the more you have to learn, but that will lead you to a better understanding of what you are doing and hopefully also lead you to making more original music. The current most used Linux distros, having repositories with a good set of tools already, that are being used for sound are Fedora, which I use, and Ubuntu. I would read up on using it on forums and such. Find some critics that hate Linux. For musicians that want to be more focused on music with as little technical details as they have to get into Linux isn't the path you want to take. That said, if your will to figure something out is stranger than the size of your wallet then Linux will probably be very satisfying for you. The Fedora path is pretty easy to get up and running with just following some how-tos. The one thing you really need to consider before you just jump in is if your Audio Interface is supported. There are lists, but I find you'll get more up-to-date information, if you jump on an active forum and ask about the interface you what to use before you buy. If you want to go the firewire route for your interface, you'll also want to see if the chip-set of your computer's firewire plug will work with the Linux you want to use. For a basic system where you only need 2 or 4 audio ins then USB 2.0 will work fine and most Audio interfaces have drives these days. Again, ask someone, if a particular audio interface has worked for them.

@Blues Skies and Paign: :-P

@Sonic Module: Thx! I'm glad you think so.

@Azur3MusiC: Thanks! I'm really curious how it is that people end up actually giving me a listen. How is it you meandered to check me out? Thanks agian also.

@don goio: Thanks!

@Kaneda: Thanks for the positive comment. :-)

@saddet: Thanks! :-)

This is where I use some of Toryanse. Some of it that is in the same key. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu0fcl_FHOU

@ElStiffo: :-)

@taisouegao: ありがとう！

@studiolurker: Thank you. Yes, it is very easy to fall asleep on the train in Tokyo without anyone bothering you. :-)

@taisouegao: yes, in the middle of the song I do use a bit of Toryanse. The two pieces are actually in different keys. I only use the notes that are in key. It is main an attempt of mine to create the feeling of being in Tokyo because one can hear Toryanse at most intersections in Tokyo playing as an indecation for blind people which way the street is crossing. The other direction uses another song I can't think of the name of right now. Other than that little bit, I just used the pentatonic scale that the o-koto uses to improvise the other lead synth parts.
