At the suggestion of several members, I have added some requisite screening questions for newly registering members. Registrants' responses will remain private.

Peter Iverson replied to Peter Iverson's discussion A Fold in the Fabric of the Night
"Hi Ivor:  Thank you for your enthusiatic response to my music.  Thanks as well for your comments regarding the MIDI render.  One of my goals for this piece was to get better on the production side of the creative process.  It feels like I spent…"

Ivor replied to Steven Linden's discussion Ode for string orchestra
"Certainly seems to reflect current evenets: morose, endlessly but quietly marching forward. Good rendering and some clever doubling of the thematic content.
Easy to listen to."

Ivor replied to Peter Iverson's discussion A Fold in the Fabric of the Night
" A most accomplished piece and frankly the mood of night was immediate to me. Unseen things stirring. Great string sound and rendering. This could pass as a live performance on a recording. There were just moment when things were VERY quiet that…"

David replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 14
"just in case anyone's interested, I invested in the new VSL violin and cello and have redone the rendering (though the viola has not yet been released so remains the same). I feel the rendering -- despite some things still be looked at -- now sounds…"

David replied to Peter Iverson's discussion A Fold in the Fabric of the Night
"interesting that this passage from 5'46" was an afterthought. Certainly a very nice one!

Peter Iverson replied to Peter Iverson's discussion A Fold in the Fabric of the Night
"Hi David:  Thanks so much for listening and your very kind remarks.  The material beginnig at 5'46" was actually a late addition to the piece.  It felt like there was a hole there that needed to be filled.  I'm delighted that it spoke to you.  "

David replied to Peter Iverson's discussion A Fold in the Fabric of the Night
" every time you manage to produce something quite different so I always look forward to a new work of yours. I'm not sure it was particularly to my taste earlier on but the haunting atmosphere from 5'46" started to grip me around mid way through and…"

HS Teoh replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"You should ask Mike for an example of how to turn something as short as a 2 or 3 note motif into a full-fledged theme, using standard techniques of motivic development. 😉
Well actually, you can already see some of this in the given example, you just…"

David replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"If starting a movement is the hardest thing, perhaps that's where an application of some of Mike's methods might give you a jumpstart by generating ideas that are derived from some underlying motif or theme in your work, so that the result will have…"

David replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"Ah, I was wondering what this strange CoPilot thing I see on my new Windows 11. Now I know!  Anyway, your long reply to HS does show how different out methods are. I don't generally try out lots of things, I simply have an instinct on how to proceed…"

Mike Hewer replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"David, thinking further about my and especially the canons inability to convince you re technique in composition, I turned to  AI CoPilot and asked a couple of questions. Here below is what it came back with. Now you might not consider AI as…"

Mike Hewer replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"No worries David and I believe you have real talent but if the canon and great masters can't convince you then I'll shut up. Read my long post below and see if it gives you any more insight into the relationship between technique and composition as…"

Mike Hewer replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"The comparison to the Walton is a fair one and that concerto is a favourite of mine. 
Re process Teoh I'd say for me it is all of the above in any order and at any time during composing, even changing from bar to bar and note to note.  Decisions are…"

  • 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?
