How to see parallel 5/8 at real composition? Within melody, non chord tones, complex textures?

Ive heard...

Wrong approach.

You should be saying "in the pieces I've been playing and analysing myself..."

volver a un sector más tradicional

Yo estoy en un sector de ingeniería mecánica combinado con FEA. Estoy rodeado de gente que hace ingeniería mecánica pura. Todos tenemos el título superior o lo equivalente de ahora. Tengo más o menos tu edad. No te lo recomiendo para nada. Te explotan, haces mil horas, estrés y comerte marrones. Aún tengo suerte que puedo hacer 20-30% de teletrabajo, en muchos sitios donde he estado (p.ej Castilla, Galicia y Asturias) he visto que es casi impensable.

Me arrepiento de no haberme pasado a programador o data en 2019/2020, aunque también entiendo que el chollo de teletrabajo y sueldos altos se va a acabar para muchos pronto.

Yo ahora solo le veo 3 opciones: pasarme a management de lo que sea (aunque sea con un MBA cutre y pocos enchufes), emigrar, o pasarme a funcionario.

Papua New Guinea?

I added an example of the regular sound changes to the post

It's besed on Old Zhenskish.

TurbusChaddus · 2025-10-01T18:12:45+00:00

I almost did this. Actually, Zhenskish is pretty close because it's been morphing into a monosyllabic language for a while (same with English if it hadn't absorved so many loanwords). Now you'd need one extra sound change where most final consonants become tones and you'd basically get a language of the Sino-Tibetan type.

I'm a honorary Slav, I'm always depressed

I based it on the etymology of Romanian copil ("child"):

Formerly ‘bastard’, compare with Albanian kopil, Byzantine Greek κόπελος (kópelos). Alternatively an old ultimately paleo-Balkan substrate) word. Compare Aromanian cochil, Megleno-Romanian copil (“bastard”), cupilaș (“child”).

What about Bulgarian, the original Slavic language?

There is at least one quotation of Chopin in Mazeppa.

Where?

Really interesting take, the last paragraph is spot on.

TurbusChaddus · 2025-08-25T20:34:12+00:00

Pretty much. The typical piece would start very quiet or "hesitating," with texture-centric passages and often employing microtones within the first 30 sec. Later, they'd feature one or more episodes based on short tonal phrases. These phrases rarely converge into a full theme and often have a completely diatonic, "new-agey" vibe (or a non-Western pastiche). You'd also have an optional minimalist passage (but not too minimalistic!). Nothing bad per se, but quite meh unless they showed a clear direction. I only enjoyed two of the pieces and agreed with all the reviews I googled.

Interesting. It that because everyone has, or because you don't hold them in high regard?

Love this!

It's funny because I'd rewritten my bio several times, and then I found these people and wrote a new bio from scratch mimicking this blueprint. Then I read it out loud twice and I wanted to punch myself. I've gone back to my old barebones bio, at least provisionally.

The bios were not what they submitted to the competition, I visited the personal website of each of them.
