Composers Guild
United we stand! So we've all talked about this forever. How do we put actions to our words? Why is it so hard to organize composers? Everyone else seems to have a guild or association. Any ideas?
Roger Noren replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"I think it depends also on which type of music you want to make. If natural smooth sounding orchestra pieces is preferred - go with Garritan. If impressing film music is closer, EWQLSO is a must. But the latter is IMO not very naturalistic,…"
Kento replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"Do you have a preference between the silver and gold editions for Garritan?"
Kento replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"That's interesting! I've been wondering though, how many film soundtracks (in particular) with orchestral pieces use VST synths? And if they do, what kind of products or techniques do they use to "make the bar" in that sense and…"
Chris Alpiar replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"Well honestly if you want the best, go with Vienna Instruments, its expensive but its at least 10 notches above the rest in many ways ;-)"
Jamie Kowalski replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"Another point to consider about these two libraries is what your compositional process and needs are. If you are a meticulous editor, and want to have absolute control over every note and articulation, I'd give a very strong nod to Garritan. As…"
Mike replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"I now have both GPO and EWQL
I am glad I have both. because as Jan pointed out they both have there pros and cons.. when you have them both they seem to cover each other nicely. EWQL is missing alot of articulations that are IMO necessary. GPO is…"
Jeremiah Pena replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"I think it sort of depends on what software you are using. If you are using Finale, then I'd suggest GPO, because it integrates really nicely. I've heard of a lot of problems trying to get human playback to work with EWQLSO. However, if…"
Chris Alpiar replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"Well without having more of a budget I think you are totally on by just jumping in and buying Garritan - his stuff is really good and he is personally an excellent guy with a really good work ethic and great crew. I still think they are slightly…"
"I agree with Chris. For your requirements, I think that Garritan will suffice no problem."
Chris Alpiar replied to Jamie Klenetsky's discussion Garritan of EastWest?"if you are JUST going to be using Finale to write your music then probably you will get an easier experience with GPO (from my understanding of the integration of GPO to Finale). I think the EastWest *gold* and higher level of EWQLSO are better than…"
Jamie Klenetsky posted a discussionGarritan of EastWest?
I'm looking to buy an orchestra sampler VST, something inexpensive that serves basic needs (submitting decent realizations to competitions, messing around with Live, etc). Does anyone have a recommendation - Garritan Personal Orchestra or the EastWest equivalent? Or is there another program that I don't know about? Thanks :)

Bassoon Piece Update
Posted on May 15, 2009 at 6:31am 0 Comments 0 Likes
My piece for bassoon, "Departure, 10:49pm", was performed to a warm reception on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there - I have bronchitis! The Marketing Director of the ACO told me that people really loved the piece, which I'm happy about :) And there's a recording coming my way, which I'll put up as soon as I get it.
In other news, I finally completed a choral piece I'd started last January called "Kono Yoru (This Night)", which along with two other works ("Live… Continue

Finished!

I finished the piece right on time! It's called "Departure, 10:49pm", and is meant to evoke the end of a long day in NYC, coming home from Penn Station on the late train. (I write what I know!)
I'll post it as soon as its completely finalized, I'm waiting for it to be critiqued. But hurray!

Bassoon Update
Posted on April 24, 2009 at 8:21am 1 Comment 0 Likes
So far the piece is about a minute and a half long. I have a three minute limit, and I'm not sure what to do at this point! It's fairly solid as it stands, but 1.5 minutes seems way too short. I'm wondering if I should expand the piece or just leave it...will need a couple of days to think that over.
Can she do it?

I'm trying to write/finish two pieces in less than a month. Oh joy :)
One of them is bassoon solo, 3 minutes or less, for the "Compose Yourself" workshop being held by the American Composers Orchestra. I have a cool idea at least - my observations at Penn Station, taking the late train home - just need it to be interesting. I'm not good at solo pieces because I don't think that that horizontally. I need to be creative! Due: May 1.
The second one is a choral… Continue
