"I hadn't forgotten. I can only post replies on my phone, which puts me off doing so in many situations. I appreciate you listening - I had my piece "Hiraeth" played on KUSC in 2021 and I got back in touch late last year with the presenter regarding…"
My piece Callisto is being played on the Californian classical music station Classical KUSC on Friday 3rd, around 8am PDT on Jennifer Miller Hammel's morning show (4pm GMT for UK people, and google will sort it out for anyone else). If there's…
"Music libraries, and media using them, goes back some time. It's not a modern facet of the industry at all, and the difference is still that a human created those pieces. You can play devil's advocate along the lines of "modern composers regurgitate…"
"It being low effort to you isn't really the point. The most banal filler score to a third-tier TV series has still been composed by someone, possibly even orchestrated and recorded rather than just using samples. Sure, I could shit out that stuff…"
"Clients can like and approve whatever shitty music they please. That's right. If the music has been trained on that of other unwitting or unwilling composers, and especially if it's not a composer getting the job but some prompt enthusiast, I'd say…"
I'll start posting the full movements on here eventually, but I've finished (in the protracted finalising of parts and scores now) a large symphonic suite of four tone poems written for the Galilean moons of Jupiter. In a fit of inventiveness I…
"My feeling is that creating a playable score - thus forcing yourself to work, theoretically, within the natural constraints of instruments and their human operators - confers an advantage on the music's realism and quality. Unless your knowledge is…"
"To be momentarily serious, you've admired my work Hiraeth. The musicians were paid by me, so clearly a composer-funded recording can produce good results (as has been the case for almost all my varied self-funded recordings)."
"I guess it leaves more musicians for the rest of us."
"I use A3 and scale my notation to fit, which may not be directly helpful to you. I can attach a sample of one of my scores that's been recorded, if useful - as it proves my system works :)
Really though, I've just arrived at my preferred system of…"

"The live recording is no longer available through the link. Calamity! I have been tantalised and now blueballed. Partially through the effusive response by everyone here, and partially because the instrumentation fascinates me."
"Well, we have our answer. Thanks Mike, John and all!"
"A man needs at least one principle, and mine is not using ChatGPT. *spits*"
"I was worried that the natural implied rhythm and repetition clashes with triplets, you see (in my head it feels more like 4 then 2 than 3 then 3) and sextups encapsulated the entire phrase. But that might just be my blind spot as a non-reader. I…"
"Like that, yes. I suspect it's less the software (Logic Pro) than my unfamiliarity with the tuplet function, which I've attempted to remedy without success.
So that's one vote for readable and one for uncomfortable..."

"If I knew, I'd probably have been able to fix it! As it stands, all my research leaves me clueless. But I can manually 6s if I have to."

I asked a lot of questions until I got good but there's always more questions to discover
