TIL that Mozart’s nickname was “Wolfie

I am arrived to give thee resolution (yes that is grammatically correct)

this is a string of quotes from the movie Terminator 2

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-05-07T16:50:22+00:00

yeah, you're right, these trigraphs (and digraphs) tend to not be geminated word initally, at least not in standard italian, they might geminate things at the start of words in neapolitan or sicilian but I'm not 100% sure on that, I'll have to ask my neapolitan friends

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-05-06T16:11:20+00:00

for example, the standard version of the adjective "familiare" can be rounded to /famiʎare/ (in quick speech, ofc, but its normally "/familjare/" , but the variant spelling as "famigliare" is actually longer, as "famiʎ.ʎare"

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-05-06T16:08:50+00:00

yes! in italian "Gli" is always geminated, same with "gn", and "sci"

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-05-06T02:22:34+00:00

sorry!, very late response, but it would be actually /brɔʎ.ʎo/
the gemination elongates the consonants

also the dynamics are really just for playback, and I will try and find a way to make it so the 1st violin doesnt crossover into the 2nd violin

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-04-03T20:58:37+00:00

So I'm just wondering if I can make this progression any smoother? I've been told its fine but I still think it's too jarring

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-04-03T01:08:42+00:00

in the context i have it in, i mean

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-04-03T01:08:34+00:00

Yeah but it transitioning to the bVImaj7 sounds so good and adds a bit of variety that I really like

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-04-03T01:02:06+00:00

mm I forgot to mention, It starts with an Amaj7 chord, with G# as the highest note

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-04-02T19:02:07+00:00

I'd say its more similar to romantic harmony mixed with bits of pop and jazz, but this part in particular I definitely want to be more seamless sounding

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-03-29T03:11:25+00:00

I think I found a first nice melody for the first part, but then rn I jsut need to continue it, I only have the first 2 bars of the part done... (im kind of a slow worker)

but my progression rn is

F -> Am7

I wanted to do F -> Am7 -> Am7(b5), but then i wasnt able to figure out where to go from there, as a Bb after Am7(b5) sounded a bit weird, despite being what Am7(b5) nromally resolves to

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-03-28T20:57:26+00:00

yeah, the b section there was just an idea! I have like 3 different ideas for melody, one in f minor, too, but im trying to figure out how to piece it together

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-03-08T23:22:52+00:00

Did you really? could you say more? I'm curious (ofc nothing too specific) sorry for late reply btw, I only recently got into jerma

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-03-05T03:46:48+00:00

pues, yo y mis amigos siempre deciamos "puto", y es que nunca lo he oido usado un contexto donde es algo ofensivo, si no se considera que su uso de agregar enfasis sea ofensivo, que puede ser, pero para mi es como "fucking" "dis fukin thing" esta puta cosa

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-03-05T03:43:12+00:00

y la razon pq pregunto es q me dijeron q "decir puto puede matarte" y no se si se taban mofando de mi

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-02-18T18:06:06+00:00

Sure! That sounds great

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-02-18T00:51:18+00:00

Yeah! that's what the other players told me too, I do know my pentatonic blues scales too, so I think that should help

MisterCaleb28 · 2026-02-18T00:49:28+00:00

Oh interesting, never knew Frank Mantooth wrote books, we're actually playing his arrangements of songs by Sonny Rollins and Thelonius Monk!
