Thanks for the 'heads-up!', Chris and thanks to Hollow Sun for the gift. It will be a nice little project for next week, auditioning these.

Yes indeed Jim,

Some time before Steve's sad departure, Mario Krušelj, a.k.a EvilDragon, had come on board at HollowSun as Kontakt

scriptmeister after Steve had made the decision to go with Kontakt . . . .

So HollowSun continues with Angela, and Daughter Alice at the Helm, with Mario doing the day to day.

Mario is also a regular in the Reaper Forums in the persona of <EvilDragon>

Mario did ask me about the Commercial Fusion Banks, as he had little knowledge of the Pre-Kontakt HollowSun . .

Steve offered the three Banks as an end-of-life deal for £20 - at which point I bought them . . . .

I did suggest, why not leave them available for £20 - they are SO worth it . . . . .

But obviously they decided to offer them free - which is great for us . . . .

I now HAVE Kontakt5 and will in time explore Steve's "Alien Devices" and "Music Laboratory Machines" -

which look and sound amazing . . . .

I always liked HollowSun's "Ethic" and enthusiasm and quirkiness of their Creations - so I feel that Steve's

influence has not in fact gone away . . . . .

Steve's "Alien Devices" and "Music Laboratory Machines" are very cool, really interesting and his descriptions are very creative :)
I have purchased quite a few of them, I believe there are a few free variations as well.

From what Steve told me Alice is a Very Good Musician and he was very proud of her :)

I really due miss talking with Steve his conversations were interesting, informative, fun, open and honest.

I agree ENTIRELY Jesse . . . .

I still have his emails and read them occasionally - he has the same sense of humour as I do.

THIS is a guy I would have LOVED to have a Beer and a chat with . . .
