David Lilly replied to Michael Zhang's discussion Watching the Wind - Piano & Flute
"Hey Michael,
No problem. To answer a few of your questions:
Is there such a thing as too much annotation?

No, not really, but answers will vary. More information is typically better if intended for live performance- Though, some areas of music…"

Michael Zhang replied to Michael Zhang's discussion Watching the Wind - Piano & Flute
"Thanks for this feedback! I'll try to play around with different voicings. I think in general paying attention to the bassline is something I don't yet have an ear for.
As for notation, I don't write much notation, so there's alot of things I'm not…"

David Lilly replied to Michael Zhang's discussion Watching the Wind - Piano & Flute
"Hi Michael, welcome.
Compositionally speaking, I think this is quite nice, especially considering you say you have no formal background in composition. I would classify this as minimalist or New Age music, stylistically speaking. Melodically,…"

Hey all! Sorry I've been gone for a bit...life was very busy. But here's a little piece I started this morning in FL Studio. The idea for the main recurring motif popped into my head and I had free time, so...I went to work! In this specific project…

"not at all bad for a stock piano, then! Anyway, I was referring specifically to your piano style and not the various experiments in orchestral "atmosphere" music (which are mostly not to my taste but that's neither here nor there)

Mike Hewer replied to HS Teoh's discussion Pi: the first 52 digits
"Yes..good post David. Providing road maps to explore is the only way to teach composition. The composer has to supply the wits, the sense of adventure, the invention and the imagination."

Mike Hewer replied to HS Teoh's discussion Pi: the first 52 digits
"I too have heard of the kinds of situations you mention Teoh. So to play devil's advocate for a while....
I have no issues with compositional talent that chooses to ignore the last 100 or so years of musical development.  That said, there is a good…"

David replied to Saul Gefen's discussion Ballade In E flat Major No. 1
"this is again quite sweet with a greater sense of longing in the central section. Curious which piano you use here as for the most part the rendering works pretty well?
Although I rather like your piano writing in general, one has to ask the…"

  • 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?
