I have posted this a few times....

I just listened to Penumbra again. It's pretty damn sweet. Have you been working on much other material?

Yeah, for awhile my work schedule was doubled so I didn't have as much time as I used to but I've got plenty of time now. The time I did have was scattered a lot so I mostly got bits and pieces of like tons of tracks. I've kind of started to take advantage of that though...I'll work on one song for awhile and then run out of ideas for awhile and then pick up another and I'll end up combining them which has worked out pretty well for me.

I should have some new stuff up soon, but generally I've tried to spend lots of time to make sure everything sounds exactly how I want it instead of just rushing to get something done.

Try creating something really significant in supercollider. Or doing it old-school the BBC Radiophonic Workshop way.

P.S. Pick up one of these and then get back to Satchmo about how easy anything is.

What is so stupid about me finding Classical easy to make? I mean theres layering and all that but if I put in a good couple months of hard work I could make a piece on guitar (if I had good recording equipment and sound editing programs) Classical just randomly spins in my head out of nowhere more than any other style.

I find your comment not only highly debatable, but in contrast to what you originally asked. Could you not then compose a piece of "experimental" (I hate that term if no one's guessed yet) music after a "good couple months of hard work"?

Also classical hasn't really been defined yet. Part of its definition relies on the use of staff notation. For the sake of argument, classical music sort of requires that you be able to write the music down in the correct format. So unless you know how to write in notation, and Im guessing none of us here are that good at it, that in itself would take several months to "learn". Many of the great composers were able to write masterpieces straight from their head.

Personally I think Classical and Jazz are by far the hardest.

I am not even going to comment about how someone who really needs a Metronome claims how easy anything is....let alone breaking off any Classical composition. Ok, I just did but WTF?

Now to this.

1. Huh?

2. You shouldn't assume anything about anyone on RM....especially with Satchmo around. Not that I am admitting to anything without all Satchmo's lawyers present and busting out with the advice!

aka

Satchmo takes the 5th, BABY!

3. That would be all

aka

HUH? (Satchmo loves him a symmetrical post.)

Sorry. I phrased that horribly. What I meant to say was that I'm pretty sure that a certain someone (as you had menioned much better than I) has little musical notation skills, and as far as the rest of us I meant that I doubt very many of radiomutes elite have every written a complex classical composition. Of course I could be wrong. Though if anybody was to surprise me by contradicting this impression it would be you, so by all means throw out the pointers on polyphony harmonys anytime.
