This is my latest piece - my 10th since starting composing in the summer, and my first (short) symphony.It's really different in style from any of my other pieces, and I'm not sure what style it fits into.  If someone asks what sort of music it is,…

David replied to Guy Shahar's discussion Invitation to "Intuitive Composers" (& resources coming soon)
"of course one has to put everything in context -- as you only started a few months ago, you've already developed quite an interesting style and I'm sure you'll continue to make progress. And I doubt there was much particularly symphonic about my…"

"this Symphony of Bees is certainly a new departure for you. I was much struck by the opening with its quarter tones in the strings and from time to time there were very interesting effects and counterplay between the instruments-- there was…"

"Thanks Rowy - the new track is up now at https://heartfulhealing.co.uk/track10/ with commentary - it might change your opinion of me....  (but it's actually not that contemporary - it might not even be contemporary at all).  Look forward to your…"

Rowy replied to Guy Shahar's discussion Invitation to "Intuitive Composers" (& resources coming soon)
"Apparently, you're a diamond in the rough. Everything's there—you just need more experience. More knowledge too, but that's a fine line to walk. Your talent needs room to breathe, and that won't happen if you prioritize theory too much—except for…"

Robert Kennedy replied to Mike Hewer's discussion Technique in composing.
"For me, form is the kick starter for almost every thing I write. Inspired as I am by realy, all styles of music, if I hear a piece, I think, I can do something like that.
I go to a lot of concerts. Over 100 each year, I'm a concert reviewer here in…"

"Well, those are nice comments to read - thank you.  It is true - I've never properly composed before this summer - I can't read music (at least not properly - I can see when notes are going up and down and get a vague idea of the rhythm, with a lot…"

Rowy replied to Guy Shahar's discussion Invitation to "Intuitive Composers" (& resources coming soon)
"Hi, Guy,
You asked for my thoughts on your 4th String Quintet. Since you call yourself a beginner, I thought I might need a stiff drink first—I’ve had my share of scores that required a lot of work... or a nice bonfire! But after listening to your…"

  • Oh, and please welcome our new members, if you have a chance.
  • I've allowed a few new prospective members through. If you should observe signs of bother, abuse, or any other matter that arouses suspicion, please advise me promptly.. Thanks all.
  • 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.
