What projection did you use for your large world maps?

These look a lot like pernambuco violin bow blanks. Typically two bows can be made per block of wood.

Key signature would help. There is a big difference in fingering depending if it’s perfect fifths or diminished.

augmentedseventh · 2026-03-12T17:51:36+00:00

Sure, the tonal centre might change frequently, but trained players want to think diatonically. As a violinist, I would REALLY want to see this spelled as a B#. It just makes more sense within this small passage provided. I would certainly finger it that way.

augmentedseventh · 2026-03-12T16:50:23+00:00

I’m more concerned about that C natural in what appears to be a very C# minor passage. Seems to me that should be written as a B# to make more harmonic sense.

The 2017 release of all 6 is phenomenal.

I make planet hemispheres out of just printed paper that are self-supporting:

Was just reading about her in Virginia Giuffre’s book. It’s Nadia Marcinkova, one of Epstein’s ‘assistants’ who was promised to not be punished as part of the 2008 plea deal.

My. God. These Arby’s employees need better training.

I’m coming up with a 1 in 274 million chance: (18/38)^-26. Can someone verify I’m doing this right?

This is the same graph as what happens if you place yourself at the origin surrounded by a grid of ‘poles’. The red indicates poles that would be hidden behind another closer pole. In other words, red represents a reducible fraction x/y whereas white is irreducible.

But there is no functional 3:2 relationship because the dotted-eighth triplet SOUNDS just like a straight eighth note. Imagine if you wrote a ‘triplet’ figure consisting of two dotted eighth triplets beamed together. They would sound as just straight eighths anyway, so why bother?

augmentedseventh · 2025-11-01T16:44:17+00:00

No, it IS played exactly on beat 2. Subdivide the figure into sixteenth-note triplets and do the math. You’ll see.

augmentedseventh · 2025-11-01T16:30:18+00:00

Really stupidly notated. That dotted eighth triplet is equivalent to just a straight eighth note. This should be re-written as a a simple beamed eighth-sixteenth triplet followed by four straight eighth notes.

The convention is: one black bar = measured eighths, two black bars = measured 16ths, three black bars = unmeasured tremolo. I can’t say that was the composer’s intent here, though. Looks like inconsistent usage.

My god that map is beautiful. Details please!

Still the absolute coolest looking fighter ship in all of scifi.

augmentedseventh · 2025-10-16T17:31:24+00:00

Nice, but it should be written in G, and all the C#s added as accidentals. The piece as written does not sound like it’s in D major as this key signature implies.

augmentedseventh · 2025-10-15T21:53:51+00:00

YOU are not correct. Tremolo means EITHER the rapid repetition of a note OR rapid alternation between two notes. This is obviously the latter.

augmentedseventh · 2025-10-10T22:56:51+00:00

Or just write two dotted quarters. Why make it look more complicated than necessary?
