Recent upgrades to sound libraries and software mean a higher degree of flexibility and realism in my orchestral compositions. It's amazing what sounds can come out of a computer these days. Look for new videos soon using the new toys. 100% of the music on this site was orchestrated and performed by Roy Firestone on his computer music workstation. There were no live players used on these recordings.
