David replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"fair enough, Mike -- you know I hold you in high regard as a composer and always take what you say seriously, even if sometimes I'm not totally convinced. No doubt we will be exploring this area further in the weeks and months to come!

Mike Hewer replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"Yes Ollie, some good points imo. There is no correct way, only the way that works for you. The thrust of my argument is that one finds and hones a more profound musical self as one learns and integrates technique as the foundation for expressive…"

Mike Hewer replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"David I thought we might be talking at cross purposes when I asked you in the other thread what you perceive as the difference between theory and technique. For me, they pretty much mean the same thing because application of technique is also…"

"May I be forgiven just doing a single reply, please? Otherwise identical individual replies build up the thread unnecessarily!
Just to say thank you all for these most encouraging comments and for listening.

Ivor replied to Brett Harrington's discussion "The Tone-Tale Heart" - A Tone Poem for Wind Quintet and Percussion
"Hi Brett
I listened to a few bars then decided I'd best read the story before going on.
The music starts boisterous and abrasive but moves into calmer apprehensive moments and I think it's very much in keeping with the atmosphere of Poe's story. …"

"Whether or not any of this is relevant, I hope it's interesting.
I'm not sure what this post is referring to specifically, so to cover several grounds...
I have several methods for coming up with ideas:
1) Melody first: I seem like a bit of a weirdo…"

When does writer's block affect my fellow composers here? For me, it's when I'm adding to an unfinished work which I'm passionate about.

  • 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?
