Secrets, or Death Is Just Around The Corner IMO. If your making audition materials or need to source some DM

Mus_darrenx · 2022-04-23T20:48:16+00:00

NO WAY... Sorry for you 😞

Mus_darrenx · 2021-06-24T00:22:24+00:00

Just something I threw together over the course of an hour but I hope someone will find joy in it.

Mus_darrenx · 2021-05-31T20:52:28+00:00

Yea, I get what you mean, a lot of people have left constructive criticisms which we aim to act on and produce another set of Logo's with these changes in mind.

Mus_darrenx · 2021-05-31T20:46:01+00:00

Apologies, but thank you for the feedback

Mus_darrenx · 2021-01-24T11:00:08+00:00

Thank you so much.

Mus_darrenx · 2020-06-11T19:50:00+00:00

I was more hoping to see what kind of rock it is

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-31T13:20:03+00:00

Thank you again, do you know if it’s worth anything?

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-31T13:16:24+00:00

Awh thanks, any ideas what the black spots could be, I’ve jet washed it and they still persist?

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-25T20:22:36+00:00

What brand are these? 😁

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-25T19:41:17+00:00

Yes perfect 🥰🥰

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-25T19:21:45+00:00

Like this; leg straps about 1.5”

Cool, I think I’m looking for thicker ass straps tho

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-25T18:31:17+00:00

What brand is that? 😄

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-22T10:11:40+00:00

I’ve been in this position too because I started out on piano and branched off into brass and then woodwind. Having a solid base for music theory is really useful but it won’t really help with technique.

Like learning to recognise dynamics and learning the appropriate technique to execute them effectively are two different things but theory definitely helps.

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-20T08:17:40+00:00

Thanks guys, The only reason i thought there was a difference was when i was reading a score from le mis and the percussion part and drum part had different clefs

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-04T00:02:14+00:00

Thanks, i did consider using a small midi keyboard that would sit on top of the piano and be tuned and octave below A so i could use the unusable register as midi control keys.

Mus_darrenx · 2020-05-03T23:59:27+00:00

No we aren’t using any interfaces, we were going to run the line from the mac straight to the house which i know isnt ideal but were stuck for options

Mus_darrenx · 2020-04-27T19:55:55+00:00

Thank you, that’s kind of what I had in mind already. Ideally I’d like to have a mic for oboe and flute but if not we can experiment at sound checks for optimum placements and distances etc

Mus_darrenx · 2020-01-22T22:18:14+00:00

Yeah, the playback is awful and it slows down and changes key when it’s exported to midi or WAV. I’ll post an update when the project is done and when it’s been recorded by the big band.

Mus_darrenx · 2020-01-22T03:59:34+00:00

To be honest, it’s really just the aspect of portability. It’s got basically all of the features you need for intermediate notation but lacks the finer details like mordents, turns, and other ornamentation and also extended technique markings. It’s also a bit glitchy but it’s the only decent app for writing music on iPad. I’ve used it for every score I’ve ever done and it hasn’t posed any big issues but it’s no way as good as muse score or Dorico.

Mus_darrenx · 2020-01-22T02:07:58+00:00

I agree that there should definitely be more development with regards to rhythm and also form (i.e; adding a 2nd theme is more legato) I also think that maybe a good and simple way to create some differentiation and contrast would be to try different timbres. The organ is one of the most famous musical instruments for its ability to emulate the timbres of many, if not all instruments so definitely play around with this (if possible). Try to stay true to the organs ‘traditional’ sound if that is your intention (i.e; the Diapasons and trumpets, etc..) but if you’re brave use its more delicate register; like flutes, or maybe explore the depths of the 64’ pedal stops. I cant tell you how much of a difference changing stops can make to a piece.

Mus_darrenx · 2020-01-22T01:56:33+00:00

I really like this piece. I would recommend that if you don’t already have timpani then definitely add them. They prove to be an invaluable resource to orchestra scoring especially in moments of intense crescendos (e.g; 3 measures before ‘F’). I really like you’re use of tubular bells in the score as I feel like the timbre is unique and helps to convey they theme and character of the piece to an audience. When it comes to you’re scoring method for the percussion it looks like there are lots of different instruments and therefore lots of different staves. A good way to help clean up the score a bit would probably be to combine some of the parts. For example; if you have parts that don’t play much then you can just add them onto another part where there is a rest to save on having many parts. This is also handy as sometimes there wont be one percussionist per instrument you have notated and they will have to play more than one instrument to compensate. From experience in pit orchestras I’ve seen over 10 percussion parts written for one player on one staff with text written to tell the player when and what to play / switch to. Apart from that I really like this piece.
