I was one of the 80-or-so people who were listening to StillStream on the night this was performed on-air. I greatly enjoyed it. The second movement, with its glitchy rhythms and repetitive melodic layering, is my favorite. The semi-orchestral finale is also quite memorable. I still pull this performance out and listen to it on some of those quiet nights. Thank you Altus!

Subject: Excellent Cinematic Work.
I'm fairly new to the music of Mike Carrs (aka Altus) but what I have heard so far has been very impressive including his most recent work "Cinema Fantastique" recorded live on Stillstream Web Radio.
This 43-minute work is subtitled "Four Scenes for a Virtual Film" and rightfully so. Each of the four sections of this piece display a strong cinematic quality and are quite visual in their elements.
The opening section is a quiet ambient piece with a strong resemblance to Steve Roach. The second part is highly rhythmic with punchy sequencers and a nod to the style of early to mid-80's Tangerine Dream. The third section is similar to the ambience of the opening part but adds a subtle rhythm to enhance the atmosphere. Finally, the closing part is a majestic symphonic style overture that brings to mind a victorious finish to a motion picture. Out of the pieces four parts, this closing section is probably the most cinematic and finishes the entire suite of a high triumphant note.
Although I have liked the other pieces I have heard from Altus, "Cinema Fantastique" is probably my favorite so far. It is very well composed, orchestrated and performed. I'm very glad to have downloaded this for my collection.
Great stuff!!!
