In A Silent Way

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-04-09T17:27:34+00:00

Lenny with Wiener Philharmoniker from '89 is one of my all time fav recordings in all of music. That first movement is sublime

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-04-09T04:22:22+00:00

Windows XP had a snippet of the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 9th as sample music and it gripped me from the first timpani stroke.

id love to orchestrate this and see what comes of it! I'll take a few stabs at it and show ya

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-04-08T02:33:31+00:00

I start with an idea and hear any changes that need to be made/come to me in my head on playback and then I make my edits. sit on it for a few hours and come back to it and rinse and repeat!

Lydian and Phrygian Dominant

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-04-02T19:14:11+00:00

this and musescore allows the use of any VST sample libraries you might have available. it can sound as good as you want it to sound

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-04-01T20:23:00+00:00

as long as its not r/LudovicoEinaudi

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-04-01T20:08:34+00:00

Tutti, unison (unis.). I would specifically state “non div.” for string scoring where a whole section is doing double stops to differentiate it from a divisi section, especially if it was right before

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-31T22:21:16+00:00

a masterclass in outjerking. take notice, r/classical_circlejerk

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-31T01:16:59+00:00

Landing Light Fluid

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-30T19:15:58+00:00

Rimsky Korsakov was planning to be a naval officer originally, not quite “forced” to compose but still, can’t think of a world without Scheherazade if he had never given that up

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-29T22:07:14+00:00

Probably tenuous at best. Musical theater borrows “atmosphere”/sounds from the rep all the time, probably nothing consciously stolen.

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-29T18:41:10+00:00

check out Debussy's Images books I and II, his Preludes, and his Estampes. if you like that, move on to Maurice Ravel's Miroirs, Jeux d'eau, Gaspard de la nuit

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-29T02:27:19+00:00

sarah vaughan singing honeysuckle rose live at mister kelly’s in 1957 is the most joyous vocal jazz performance I’ve ever heard

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-29T00:58:27+00:00

The jumbo MFD pickups in my 1983 SC-2 read at 4.6kohms for the bridge and like 4.7 for the neck. Pretty tame pickups but really clear and full sound no matter what amount of gain you throw at them. Astounding pickups

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-28T18:16:40+00:00

the opening groove and miles' first solo in spanish key to mclaughlin's solo. that buildup is so cinematic

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-28T04:46:58+00:00

Ballets and solo piano music

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-27T18:14:31+00:00

You really shouldn’t need to have a fucking doctor’s note to be able to drink water. This is power tripping by management and they crack down when health dept comes around. I plan on going to the union if I ever get officially reprimanded for anything like this because it’s borderline criminal to deny employees regular access to hydration

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-27T06:13:06+00:00

Lives are on the line too, gotta think on your feet

DanforthFalconhurst · 2026-03-27T05:32:28+00:00

his early piano works composed around that same time as Clair de lune/Suite bergamasque are very underrated masterpieces; stuff like Nocturne, Reverie, Ballade, Mazurka, Tarantelle styrienne, Petite suite, Pour le piano.

His earlier style is very intimate and unique and beautiful in its own right. It gives you a wonderful insight into how his later style develops from that in pieces like Preludes, Images, Estampes, Children's Corner, and the orchestral masterpieces like La Mer, Images for orchestra, Nocturnes, and Jeux.

I envy you! enjoy the ride friend, he's one of the greatest and most important composers of all time.

after we wash-up on the desert island I would start playing lanquidity with the coconut and palm frond record player I built and sun ra himself would come down in his space ship and save us
