Rowy replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 13
"I've read that you're a self-taught composer. I always said that no self-taught composer would reach such a high level and you repeatedly proved me wrong. I hate you.
You must have studied music at a higher level. Come on, be honest, perhaps you…"

David replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 13
"the last movement of my 12th seems to have had perhaps the most positive feedback of any of my works to date but I'm glad you seem to enjoy my latest and I much appreciate the comments. I know my harmonies can confuse those who approach my music…"

Gregory Michael Hodges replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 13
"Another fine work, David.  I'm partial to your 12th SQ, but this one is equally well done.  With your music, one must be prepared to settle in and let themselves be immersed in the music.  The harmonies are like a kaleidoscope of colors shifting and…"

I fairly recently completed my latest chamber work. Like with the 12th, this finishes with a consolatory adagio as its heart, though this time it's a bit more complex and starts with a variant of the main motif of the first movement which is highly…

David replied to Peter Iverson's discussion Triptych
"I started with "serious" libraries around 2005 when VSL was indeed the clear leader with only EWQL providing any sort of competition. Nowadays, Orchestral Tools have a huge range, as do Spitfire to name just perhaps the biggest. For chamber music…"

Peter Iverson replied to Peter Iverson's discussion Triptych
"I use the full version which I got many years ago when VSL was the widely acknowledged champ.  I liked the large variety of articuations but more than than that, I was sold by the fact that you could change articulations with cc's instead of the…"

David replied to Peter Iverson's discussion Triptych
"I was a bit surprised initially when you said it was VSL as I use the Synchron instruments quite widely in a chamber context (I find VSL general too clinical for full orchestra works). I just tried the Special Edition trumpet and indeed the…"

Peter Iverson replied to Peter Iverson's discussion Triptych
"Hi David:  Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment.  In my world, I take "weird  and wonderful" as high praise.  The samples are VSL - the originals not the new synchron versions.  I agree with your observations about VSL's…"

David replied to Peter Iverson's discussion Triptych
" this may be less ambitious than the fascinatingly varied Nonet (which incidentally has for me a more logical and interesting instrumentation than the Spohr standard as woodwind, brass and strings are equally represented) but a lot of weird and…"

Has anyone here by chance read a book called Blink: How to Think without Thinking? Joel McNeely said it helped him get faster in churning it out. Of course that doesn't mean it will work for everyone, and I'm kinda busy to be taking on a new book,…

"See, you can one-up Compressorhead. They have robot players but human composers (and programmers); now you can start a competing band with both robot players and robot composers! ;-)

  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
  • It seems the consensus was reaching a crescendo, so I had to dust off the Gold Codes:)
  • Anyone else having issues posting links/embeds in replies? I can't for the life of me get them to work in responding to Rowy's Halloween thread... I just get an error message each time. Seems to work ok posting a new thread?
