Does anybody know what happened to him? He did some of the best work I ever heard with VSL, really outstanding.

As Mark Twain once said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” I'm still here and still doing some demos. Although I did take a multi-year hiatus. Best, Jay

Oh, I'm really glad to see you are here again. :-) You said some kind words about my Adagio Symphonique some years ago. Now that I am retired, I also have gotten back into the simulations, after a break. And of course the tools are better than ever. :-)
Can I hear any of your new work anywhere?
Best,
Alan

I heard that Bacal had been abducted by aliens and experienced some unfortunate events involving a probe.
I am relieved to hear otherwise.

By the way, one of the more recent things he did was "Memoirs of a Geisha" by John Williams - that is one of the best all-time MIDI performances in history. Mind-boggling!

Sorry, I veered off into surrealism. The "Memoirs" is amazingly expressive in the use of swells and dynamics, one of the most expressive I've heard.

Jay has done several things recently. The Harlequin by Phillip Sparke, emulating a British Brass Band with Euphonium solo was an amazing accomplishment. I think most recently Jay did a demo of the new MIR Pro venue, John Williams "Star Wars - The Force Awakens" which most folks will probably find even more impressive than Harlequin.
One of the things I admire about Jay is his humility and musicianship. I am listening to "Force Awakens" right now, and every phrase for every instrument is just wonderful. Thank you Jay for all of your performances.
Paul
