"Could you quote some of the abuse you've had, or criticism you felt was abusive?"
"A quick method to check, since you play guitar iirc, is to tune it to the right intervals and then fret the shapes yourself. If they're awkward to you, they will be to the string player. Fifths, for example, are very playable. Outside that, there…"
"Guy, I implore you not to rigorously follow Rowy's advice: "Harmony should result from voice-leading, not the other way around. Never start with harmony or a chord progression. Instead, go with the flow and let the voices guide you."
It's a…"
It's a…"
"Always heartening to read that Most Composers Suck At Engraving. It's a surprise to me, despite the awful scores and parts I've seen on here (and contributed to myself, if that makes anyone feel less insulted) but my focus has always been to be able…"
"It happened because the technology to create a fairly realistic audio sample improved dramatically and quickly enough that there is really no reason *not* to include one, especially for new or little-known works. "
"I remember. I said it just to vex you. You DISGUST me! Stick to purely tonal music like the lord our god intended! "
"The friend request message was something like "I urgently need to talk to you, here is my email address" but now I can't see it. 100% bot or spam. Or into microtonal music or something equally foul ;)"
Someone in the upper echelons should probably check out Ahmed Khan, whose friend request message veers several miles into "spam bot" territory. I accepted purely to see was in their profile.
"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…"

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