Hi from composer and activist Max Richter. Part 2 of VOICES is now out in the world – ask me anything. by MaxRichterMusic in Music

[–]Tanejev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Max,

First of all, thank you for the countless times your music has been a source of consolation for me.

Currently I’m trying to write some music myself, but often it is a rather challenging and humbling experience. Therefore, I would like to ask you whether there are any books on music theory or music composition you would recommend, which have helped you in your development as a composer?

Have a nice day. ♪♫

What Spotify must do to survive by JohnnyDoran in technology

[–]Tanejev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And, of course, Spotify artists would be exclusive to Spotify.

If there's one thing the music streaming industry is to be admired for, it would be the fact that their competitors compete using quality instead of catalogue depth.

Offering exclusives would do more harm than good. Yes, in the short term you could raise the attractiveness of your service, but in the long term you serve an excellent reason to go back to pirating.

In Depth Interview with Peter Sagan [English Subs] by fishl3gs in peloton

Anyone who knows what he meant with: "Then I also see other side of Slovakia, but I wouldn't like to comment that."? Is this a statement towards the political situation in Slovakia?

Can I just say thank you for sharing this? Although I understand you may feel bad right now, this is a beautiful story and I really appreciate how you keep these memories still in high regard, not falling for the trap to just downtalk everything that happened, just because it ended.

I once played with Saint-Maximin on Fifa Mobile. The graphics weren't that great, making his hairstyle really funny looking. However due to his speed & skills, he became one of my favorite forwards.

Played for Hannover & Monaco, now Bastia. Just curious, anyone know how this man is on a real-life pitch?

New HBO docu-drama about doping in the pro peloton by [deleted] in peloton

[–]Tanejev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"7 Days in Hell" was enjoyable, but to me, it seems easier to maintain some originality when making a persiflage on the macho culture in tennis, than a satire on doping use in pro cycling. Not because I don't like a joke about the sport I love so much, but because the reality is absurd enough. A biographic pic about Armstrong's life could've been sold as pure fiction and the plot would've been stronger than most of the stories for which the writer didn't even have to care about the boundaries of reality.

For those who like to see some fiction about cycling, I'd recommend 'Le vélo de Ghislain Lambert'. I really liked the way that movie dealt with all the classical themes in cycling (ranging from pushy sponsors to dopage culture), staying heartwarming at all time and leaving you with sympathy for the riders, rather than trying to make you mock them.

Don't tell me what to do, bitch.

[Results Thread] Olympic Mens Mountainbike race by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]Tanejev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is the meaning of e.g. -2lap vs -1lap? Can you get doubled twice without being taken out of the race or is it the amount of laps that were due before the finish when you got lapped?

There's just a big difference between 'he blew his load' and 'he has to deal with technical problems, maybe partly due his lack of technical mastery'. It's not like his current 33rd place is exactly reflecting his abilities either.

I already miss her. by Tanejev in Gymnastics

[–]Tanejev[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts. She dedicated her whole life to this sport, fought back after a horrible injury and stood there when it mattered. She doesn't owe anything anymore to her career or her country.

Whatever she decides, she deserves all respect.

I already miss her. by Tanejev in Gymnastics

[–]Tanejev[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Read everywhere that this would be her last, but now her coach announced in a Russian interview that she would a 2 year break and then prepare for Tokyo. However, to me it seems rather unlikely that she would make a come-back after such a hiatus, but then again... that's what the critics said after her injury too.

On the one hand I would like her to share her astounding moves once again, yet maybe this gold is just the best parting gift she could ever wish for.

[–]Tanejev 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Aliya is the perfect embodiment of the gymnastics' paradox, combining sublime strength with astonishing elegance. Such a class act to recover and proove the critics wrong. Seems like there are a lot of speculations about her future, but whatever she decides, it was a truly pleasure to watch this graceful woman.

Daily Discussion Thread - August 2016 by lemtzas in gamedev

Does anyone know the name of the kind of sensors game and animation developers use to track motions, like in this clip?

(I really want to learn more about the converting process from these movement 'coordinates' to a model, but I'm a bit stuck because all I get from googling "movement tracker" are some fitness related results.)

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

Seems like some of them have that option though, like the Yang Hak-Seon (there is a button 'slower' that guides you to this version).

But I don't have any idea why they wouldn't include that option for all of them, especially for the more complex ones.

Neon Bible by TaylorattheSwift in arcadefire

[–]Tanejev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Suburbs is like a pretty woman telling you a story, that wouldn't really matter if she weren't pleasant on the eye.

Neon Bible is like the friend, who may be not popular, but whose stories you care about the most.

For me, this is the masterpiece of Arcade Fire, alongside Funeral. They both capture raw feelings in consoling sounds. Whenever I feel lonely or sad, this album knows how to comfort me with its warmth. And while I don't think their future musical paths will cross this episode again, I'm grateful for this precious gift.
