-
- By Hugh Gammon - July 1996

- of The Desktop Music Workshop
-
- By now most of you will know of the death of 'ROB BAXTER' early in
- 1996. In fact this was over 1 year ago now.. This tribute to Rob Baxter
- (2 disk set), produced by Hugh Gammon, has now been archived in LHA
- format and uploaded to AMINET for those interested in possessing this..
-
- Simply unarchive each LHA file to a blank Amiga formatted DD Floppy
- disk.. The first disk is required for booting.. Other requirements are
- that you have 2 disk drives for the set to boot properly.. Apart from
- that hope you enjoy the music..

- Some words by HUGH GAMMON
- *************************
- With myself we founded "THE DESKTOP MUSIC WORKSHOP" (DWM) after his
- suggestion that we pool our various talents together on the Amiga
- platform. As there was only two of us arranging Classical music under
- this name, you can imagine how I felt when I heard the sad news of his
- death. Rob was more than just a team mate with the DMW, he was a great
- friend and my inspiration throughout the last 5 to 6 years.
-
- He introduced me to what could be done on the AMIGA using just the
- Amiga "sound chip", and after that I never looked back.. It was
- after Rob had released several disks into the PD scene, and I had
- just released "Mozart's Four Horn Concertos" that we decided to form
- the DMW.
-
- His death has left a very big gap in my life, and I cannot quite come
- to terms with the fact, that he has departed.. If there is any
- consolation at all, it is that Rob has left behind a very many fans
- of his music, and also the thought that the music he arranged and
- scored will still live on..
-
- Rob made so many friends through his music, that they would be too
- numerous to mention here, but I'm sure they all miss him as much as
- I do.. There is one thing that I can do, that he would have wanted, and
- that is to carry on with my Classical music, and still keep the DMW
- going..
-
- With this in mind I have started "The William Tell Overture" and
- hope to release it by the end of the year, my style of arranging
- was very different from Rob's although we used the same Musical tools
- ie.
- SYNTHIA PRO - EZ FM - and SONIX.
-
- I shall continue to use the same format as before under the name of:-
-
- "THE DESKTOP MUSIC WORKSHOP"
-
- My thanks go to all the people that supported Rob's music and a
- special thanks to Kevan Craft for allowing me to make this small
- dedication originally on MIDICraft (DISK) Magazine issue #10.
-
- I have produced a 2 disk set containing "MORNING" and "JESU", which
- Rob had asked me to do about 2 years ago, but I never released
- them into the Public Domain until now... These are now available on
- AMINET as two x LHA archives Dedication1.lha and Dedication2.lha, both
- files include readme files..
-
- So I thought this would be the appropriate time to include them on
- a double disk set which I've produced as a special dedication to Rob
- Baxter, as a Thank you to Rob for all the help he gave me..
-
- Also on this disk set is the last piece of music Rob arranged on
- the Amiga, which has never been previously released and comprises of
- a single piece, the "1st movement of Bach's Violin Concerto in E"..
- This has been included on the dedication disk set in memory of Rob..
-
- If anyone would like actual copie of this 2 disk set dedication to
- Rob Baxter, then you can write to me at the address below but please
- include 2 x Blank disks and enough costs to cover the Postage and
- Packing... Or you can Email me if your on the Internet.. Thanks..
