I just wanted to say, I agree with what Gav said in general about subjectivity, and with what he said specifically about Miles Davis.

Ondib Olmnilnlolm replied to Jeff Brien's discussion When is a composition "finished"?"Andrew's is a good answer, and often it is true.
However, sometimes a new piece is started, as I move to get some distance from the previous work, and then I return fresh to the first one.
Regarding the quote,

Ondib Olmnilnlolm replied to Jeff Brien's discussion When is a composition "finished"?"Perhaps Da Vinci was correct when he said,

McHard records in his book, "The Future of Modern Music," the following true story about a concert featuring works by Schoeberg, Webern and Berg:"One particular concert in Vienna deserves mention. It took place under Schoenberg's directorship in 1913, two months prior to the famous Paris concert of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, in which a riot ensued. An outbreak of similar proportions reportedly broke out during this Vienna concert. Webern's work, the "Six Pieces for Orchestra," aphoristic in a…See More

August Champlin said… Thanks for your comments on Cor Agitur! I agree with you. The harmonic glissandi and Bartok pizzicato move the piece beyond the ordinary. I was just listening to your music. I especially enjoyed listening to Quantum Concatenations. It is unified and coherent, yet it occupies a musical territory of its own. I wish I could hear it with better software synths. It deserves a better sounding MIDI mockup!

I feel that there is a lot of ideas, especially the configuration of the sounds.

B Gray said… Thank you for your kind comments. I'm new here too -- having only joined a few days before you.
The segments you listened to were meant to be heard simultaneously in the Memoir exhibition space (very large under railway arches) but only the first play list track approximates that combined whole. Still I do think they mostly work as individual stand-alone segments.
My question was only about the significance of your profile image -- the three blue circles.
