Vaya temazos buffffff a tope macho. Saludos para toda la peñita .chao y besos
Brah i would like to meet u one day u could really teach me alot. everything you have 5 stars!!!!!
Yo Torley – you must be Torley wong from way back in the day. I don't remember where I found your music but I heard a lot of Philip Glass ish songs from you and covers of other things. A lot of your music ended up on my way way old mp3 player that had 16 mb total. I remember the old stuff used to be depressing. Looks like things have turned out a lot better :]
Your stuff inspired me to make music on my spare time. Good to know you're still around and producing.
Hello,
I've tried to get the download of your Fringe Equation mp3 and the link is broken. I've looked at the code to see if there's a typo, no luck. I also went to archive.org to see if there was a change to the page that way I could track down the link, no go. So do you think perhaps i might be able to have the mp3 file? I've listened to it several times this evening and absolutely love it.
I also checked here in your Dream Journal and didn't discover that way and also, (pant) checked the Fringe blog which sent me back here. So hopefully you'll see I'm dedicated and determined.
Sincerely,
stlouisphile
@Donnaj I've fixed it! Thank-you: http://bit.ly/fringetheme
Torley,
I made a fan vid using your Fringe theme. Its on youtube under stlouisphile. I'm still new at creating vids. Once I get all my work in hi-def I'm redoing the vid.
I love your work!
stlouisphile
dude your sooo awesome
You are a really amazing piano and musical genious!
Keep up the GREAT work!
Your Dream Journal project is really cool. As someone with a huge fascination in both music and dreams, I'm surprised that I hadn't thought of the idea. I look forward to listening to/reading about more of your Dream Journal music. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hi Torley, i was wondering if you could email me with the the cords for metal gear solids theme tune if you could that would be great
thank you rhys hamblin (aged 15)
HI
I have Symphonic Orchestra gold version and would like to know which program I use so that it can read midi … I'm using Cubase but look for a more efficient program…
Could you say me some program?
Thanks for your help!!
Dude! You're a hoot! Impressive keyboarding and compositional skills. Entertaining videos, too. Found you while searching for what others are doing with the very-cool EWQL products.
Greetings Torley
thot I would comment on your equipment video..maybe its closed already?…would love know more about your setups…for instance Alchemy seems to require at least cubase5 ..seems to be alot of redundant aspects in this quest for equipment .. 16 track sequencers/multitracks/ etc..I recently acquired a Roland RS5 & find it a challenge to balance/edit/combine sounds to create a playable musical preset..anyhow enjoy your presentations..
OHAI in this twentyten, hope each of you is being creative and enjoying life. Thank you thank you for the gracious words.
I read all my comments here; some stuff above is answered on my FAQ, and I'm sorry I can't help with 3rd-party products — you're best contacting the makers anyway, since they made it!
DAW-wise, I <3 Ableton Live for its aesthetic elegance and fresh (a decade on!) approach to arrangement… aside from the crashiness I've experienced in 8.1. More posts to come on aspects like that and how I use tools to craft the Dream Journal.
Nice work
I like so much the piano disc, good work.
Thanks a lot for your very usefull videos and your music
You are an really artist.
I hope that your dream be come true
DonnaJ,
I was looking for your channel on You Tube, but had some trouble finding it. Could you maybe help me out with this? Thanks so much. Torley, Your site looks great! I can read it again!

This is so inspirational. How is it possible that something so techno can have such soul??? You sir, are modern Mozart, and I mean that.
Just started watching some of your videos on Youtube and they're brilliant. Thank you and keep working hard
Hey man!
Just saw your videos on YouTube about the Eastwest CCC after i just ordered it and ended up here listening to your tunes. I gotta give you some credz for all the beautiful sounds you make and all the playfulness! Btw i cant help but hear those old-school blip-sounds that remind me of good old gaming days with the Commondore-64. Are those kind of sounds somewhere in that bundle too or is it from some other application you bought/downloaded?
Cheers!

@Ethan A key is to encourage your machines to make mistakes too. They'll feel more… human.
@dan I definitely will!
@Martin Ah! That's Plogue Chipsounds, one-stop shop for 8-bit retro vibes (and more)! Hope ya like CCC.
hello torley!!!

@carl The first Dream Journal volume? Yes, that's coming soon, I promise!
pianoverse. what can i say it's something i'll listen with a glass of wine, soaking in the tub. this tune can be a great soundtrack for games! what can i say i adore all about you!
