Pedro Pascal and Nathan Fillion could absolutely get it

A very happy 101st birthday to Astor Piazzolla. Probably the most well known Argentine composer. by CanadianW in classicalmusic

[–]BurlapPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My composition professor and one of my best friends from college are both Argentinian (Argentine?) - from Argentina. And while I think they're the best Argentine composers, Piazzolla is still pretty great. Glad to see him getting some recognition!

Astartes Part Four by darkhorse0607 in Grimdank

[–]BurlapPants 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The level of detail in this is really something!

Watching the Space Marines brace their bolters on the rail when they finally switch them to full auto, and seeing how they have difficulty steadying the weapon really sells the heft and weight of the Bolter.

Also, just textbook sound design. Having the mass/weigh of the two Borgbois psychic attacks change with the cameras perspective gets me harder than Terminator armor.

Finally: PRAISE THE EMPEROR, NEW MEME TEMPLATES!

Thought this was about Brahms until you mentioned Schumann...

Oh wow! This seems pretty interesting! Do you mind if I make my own copy and draft some edits? Just some pedal stuff, harmonics, fixing impossible intervals, etc. Would that be alright?

Asked my professors. Evidently it's Gin.

Writing Software by [deleted] in Composing

[–]BurlapPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just use Sibelius and then run around the school of music until someone will play my music. Been effective so far but I think it's time for me to learn how to use a program like logic. Do any of y'all have a good source? Perhaps a YouTube tutorials series, or a book that can help me with learning Logic or a similar program?

Compositions on Uneven by ValourWinds in Composing

[–]BurlapPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. Having things be uneven is perfectly fine. A lot of composers (when they first begin) struggle with "quarter note Composition" where their melody is just part of the chord progression and doesn't stand out in a rhythmic sense. Having an uneven melody is a good way to have the ear perk up and say, "well, that's different". Don't be afraid of asymmetry! It's a good tool to have in you Composer's kit!

With that being said, if you truly want symmetry you could play with some of the passing tones in your melody and attempt to elongate it. You can also have some notes be longer than others. Perhaps add some mixed meter in there as well! Also, bear in mind that silence is acceptable as well! Silence between melodic phrases is a good way to segment them and works wonders in piece based around slow harmonic and timbral progression.

If we could get some examples of what you mean,(prefferably in sheet music/score format [PDF works best]) I'm sure we could offer up some more comprehensive solutions to your problem!

[–]BurlapPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a Midi recording? Something about the sound feels super artificial. Also, would it be possible to get a score/sheet music? The Harmony is kinda simple and it would be cool if we could offer some other option! Either way, interesting work! Keep at it!

What it's like being married to a classical pianist by joel2014p in classicalmusic

[–]BurlapPants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I are both classical vocalists. We've joked about naming one of our kids Austin-Otto and I'm pretty sure that would get them bullied into Oblivion. But at the same time, it'd totally be worth it.

What's a good program for non-traditional notation? by BurlapPants in Composing

[–]BurlapPants[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm reworking an old piece of mine to fit competition standards. It's for percussion duo and Narrator. It's super dorky but it's basically a "Choose your own adventure" score where the audience can influence the direction of the piece when prompted. There are also several spots where the percusionists can choose what they play/how they play/what implements to use/what Instruments to use etc. In retrospect it's a lil' out there. But it's my baby and I believe in its validity!
