I'm not sure whether I've posted this before on this forum. Since it's almost 8 minutes long, I won't try to pass it off as a contest entry. I'll just post it here. I'm really more of a dog person,…Continue

Bob Morabito replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Animal Song."Hi Art--Thanks I was very ill and had a death of a very ear one, so was absent from many places for a long time.
Ive been back a little over a month now--nice to see you here :)
ENJOYED this piece VERY much!
Thanks Bob…"
Art Lowell replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Animal Song."Thanks Bob. Haven't heard from you in a while. I was just in that kind of a mood when I started it. The death scene from Looking Glass always gave me a good chuckle. Deems Taylor really disappointed me. Looking Glass is probably the only thing…"
Bob Morabito replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Animal Song."What an EXCELLENT piece of music--its whimsical, amusing, and reminded me of cartoon music , in its very best form--Carl Stalling with the old Warner Brothers cartoons.
Thanks so much for sharing..I also am a dog person, but inherited a cat thru…"
Rick Waugh replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Latest Effort - Reverie"On the one hand, I like the change, I like the overall feel and tone of the piece. On the other hand, some repetition is a comfortable thing in a piece of music.
Very definitely a feel of Debussy in there."
Michael Forbes replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Latest Effort - Reverie"Art...
Well done! So many textures and colors. I hear what others are saying about a possible lack of unity, but to me that is the charm of the piece.

Art Lowell replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Latest Effort - Reverie"Hi, H.S.
It really is a stream-of-consciousness kind of thing. Much like a dream would be. There are 2 major themes involved. First, that figure in the harp part that I introduced early on and then finished with. Second, the theme brought in by the…"
H. S. Teoh replied to Art Lowell's discussion My Latest Effort - Reverie"I hear a little bit of Holst and Debussy in it. Not much, but nonetheless.
I'm not sure what to recommend to do differently... I didn't quite catch any familiar signposts (probably intentional on your part, I think), so it was difficult…"

This is the second thing I've composed that is truly in my own voice. No role models involved. https://soundcloud.com/artlowell/reverie-audio-only I'll put something together in the form of a score, if I must.I'd like to know what people think I might have done differently.See More
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition. CANCELLED"As it turns out, I found a decent and more precise hi-pass filter among Logic's "legacy" AUs. Applying it, along with the tips I got on this thread about how to use it, made a huge difference."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition. CANCELLED"OK, Dave. Maybe you can help me with something. The only EQ plugin in my Logic plugin set that appears to have cut functions is the plugin called "Channel EQ" Here's a screenshot of the automation options.
I've tried "low…"
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition. CANCELLED"Second great piece of advice I've gotten from this thread. Thanks, Dave."
Art Lowell replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Orchestral work Competition. CANCELLED"The first paragraph of the first article raised my eyebrow.
Maybe not, but Logic's Score function gives the user an opportunity to prescribe these things, and more. (measures - time signatures, can be copied and pasted into a simple text…"
