Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Yeah.I figured that out on my own, H. S. The other things, though, are still quite mysterious to me (especially the stuff with accidentals."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Good point, Bob. In most cases, the musicians are going to follow the body language of the conductor. How much the composer wants to micromanage the musicians' interpretation is largely up to the composer. I've played from music that…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."THAT is the kind of discussion I would like to see more of, H.S."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Obviously directed toward me, H.S. I'm pretty sure that the intent of my music is made quite clear in my audible renditions. Translating that to paper is a skill that is, at this point, beyond me. I don't recall complaining that nobody…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Not at all. I don't think you got what I'm saying. As I recall, I don't think you have ever mentioned things like "what was the idea behind that cello solo at bar 2:57?" or "the rhythms in that passage at 4:23 seemed…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Mike, I would disagree. This competition is about how the music can be be well-presented. Not about the music itself. the best presentation would be by live performers, whether in a completely dead room or in a cathedral."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Well, ouch, Dave. Almost every piece I've submitted for discussion has either quickly devolved into criticism of my samples, or received no response at all. And I must say, Dave, you have been one of the chief abusers. You need to understand…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition." . . . Which is exactly why I've chosen to farm out my scoring jobs to other people. I'm poorly educated in words like "meno mosso" and such, the proper use of accidentals (whether double sharps and flats should be allowed…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."I wish we discussed more about music and less about sound engineering."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."Oh, yes. I see. I didn't originally read the whole notice."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition."I listened to a bit of the Britten clips. They sounded nice. Why two clips of the same music? Is one a live recording and the other, one of your studio productions? Was that what you are showing us?"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Competition Proposal..NOW WITH DEMO MOCK-UP for entrants appraisal"I can offer this: My laptop is the last model made with a mechanical hard drive. it had been devloping a lot of glitches. I figured that the drive was coming to the end of its life and if it failed, I would lose everything. So I had the drive…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Competition Proposal..NOW WITH DEMO MOCK-UP for entrants appraisal"The loss of your music was a tragic event, one that I recently averted. I'm sorry for your loss."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Competition Proposal..NOW WITH DEMO MOCK-UP for entrants appraisal"No big deal, Mike. as we discussed elsewhere, I'm likely to finish this in a month or so. I'm not likely to want to wait until the contest closes to get it posted at Soundcloud. since I am a DAW composer, I have already heard a rendition…"
