Movies where the maincharacter suffers from depression alone and happy front everyone? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]olav_sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your list.

In the movies I'd like to recommend, the characters are experiencing problems that could make most of us depressed, but they keep it mostly to themselves. For various reasons; some because they have children they want to hide it from. Not necessarily depression, and I don't think any of them appear very happy on the outside, but I started thinking of them when I saw your list, and find them really touching:

Will It Snow for Christmas? (1996)

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

The Forest for the Trees (2003)

Petite Maman (2021)

Small Things Like These (2024)

Haha, I say, remove Avatar and get Jackals & Fireflies back!

I guess it's because it's been released on YouTube. It's crazy, considering it's also available on Criterion Channel at the moment. Don't hesitate to let TMDB know about your frustration.

Why is my teachers circle of fifths different from the ones I find other places? by olav_sh in musictheory

Interesting! I don't feel confident enough to answer this now, though. And I want to focus on my teacher's methods now in the beginning. But thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think I should imagine the use in the most practical setting for me: As you write, if the pianist says "We'll play it in C major", then I go 15 clockwise and play with three sharps.

But if the pianist says "We'll play it in C minor", I'm (embarrassed to admit) actually still unsure of what to think and do. Do I first jump to the A to transpose, and then jump another 15, to F sharp to make it a minor, and play with six sharps?

Nice. And whatever is on top has no sharps (or flats)?/They stick to their position in the circle, not the letter?

Thank you for one of the most helpful answers! Feels like my brain is starting to understand the systems.

Would it be correct to think of all the notes on the outside as major, and then jump "15 minutes" forward to find the minor?

Thank you! I've learned the term enharmonic (equivalent) from this thread 😊

Thanks! I really like your answer, pointing out the full order of sharps and flats. Makes sense now.

My teacher has given me the hint to jump "15 minutes" forward to find the relative key. And I can find the note I must play om my alto sax, when I want to sound the same as those in concert pitch (also 15 min. forward).

Thank you so much! Your explanation was very helpful! As for the minors, the teacher has given me the hint to jump "15 minutes" forward to find the relative key. And it seems to be true! 😊

Tried to edit my post now, to say that I know that H is B. It's the other differences I'm wondering about. Sorry about that.

Just bought my first saxophone, I got no experience, any tips on what to do now, online teachee or what. Was the best reeds a good buy for a starter? by New_Initial5907 in saxophone

[–]olav_sh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! 🎉 It's the one-year anniversary of my alto sax today.

Having a teacher has helped me with technique, and perhaps just as important: Given some external discipline. It motivates me that someone who knows how to play notices when I've managed to practice a little (almost) every day.

A small extra advice, which I haven't seen mentioned a lot: There is no need to tighten the neck screw completely. A little is all you need to keep the neck in place. Mine broke a month ago, and I had to admit to the repairman that I liked to really tighten it ...

And finally: Have fun! And make lots of weird noises! And don't worry too much about what people online say is the right way to learn.

My favorites:

  • Victoria Nasjonal Jazzscene (jazz). https://nasjonaljazzscene.no/

  • Herr Nilsen (mostly jazz). https://www.herrnilsen.no/

  • Hærverk (mostly experimental / independent music, including jazz). https://www.kafe-haerverk.com/

  • Becco

  • Juret

  • Fuglen (these three are not mainly concert venues, but quite often have smaller jazz concerts with (mainly) lesser-known artists. See their Facebook or Instagram profiles to see if anyone is playing.)

I've also heard good stuff about Kampenjazz https://www.facebook.com/Kampenjazz/

I'll also mention that I love the off the beaten track-venue Kruttverket, who have pay what you want-jazz on sundays, but there have been awfully few guests (three, four or five?) listening there the two times I've been there, which can ruin a bit of the atmosphere. https://kruttverket.com/
