That is one beautiful score. The amnesia piece is pretty cool as well; great use of limited sound-sources!

Thanks. I'm quite looking forward to the premiere of the piece in a couple of weeks1

This is great

This is great

Sparse and erratic, but pleasant to listen to

I'm not familiar with some of the symbols in your score. What are the linked black and white squares? And the numbers that look like ratios such as 5:4 and 15:16 - what do those mean? And the many grouped together stems with no apparent heads? And what does it mean when you cross out the dynamics with a diagonal line? Sorry to ask so many questions but I'm really curious

Ta!

The linked squares are degree of breathyness audible through the saxes; solid black = completely air sound (as much as pitch is still possible), solid white = normal sax sound. Only used to indicate the end or beginning of the passage of transition from one sound to another. There is also a half symbol.

The ratios are tuplet divisions. Ie. in 4/4 time, superimposing 5 crotchets in the space of 4 can be notated as 5:4 (five in the space of four). Same with the others.

The many grouped stems without heads indicate a rhythm to be articulated with the diaphragm independent of the pitch/rhythm relationship outlined in the staff below/above.

And crossed dynamics is preceded by an uncrossed one, both in a box (as opposed to out of a box as elsewhere presented): the opening one means that, until cancelled out via the diagonal line, that the passage should have an AVERAGE of that dynamic, with expressive fluctuations as the gestures suggest to the performer OR as written.

I'm happy to send you the score in full if you want to leave me your email address.

Also happy to answer questions like this!

enjoyable track. what is your stance on panning? i noticed that it is quite panned. there are some that are pretty against extreme panning. obviously for some like this the rules are different. interesting stuff.

Space is a parameter just like pitch. It should be employed with the same consideration as pitch.

Glad you like the piece!

Wow.  Nice!!  Love the panning and segmentation of this all.  Solid.

So you'll be Dr. Vinpous soon.

Love this track. I definitely need to try hooking OM up to stuff. That pause 1/3 of the way through took me by surprise. I thought piece was over and then it started up again and gave me a bit of a jolt. Though there is no jolt like the track that autoplays on your website. That threw me off my chair once...

Ha! Of course the week after you forget, I forget. The funny thing is I did a track while I was in the horsepiddle, but I forgot to edit it down to a duration manageable for Weekly Beats. Ploppers.

I changed that track, finally! I put Post Hoc excerpt up instead. Much easier to deal with. It actually caught me by surprise the other night when writing my newsletter, hah!

Bugger about the horse piddle piece sitch.
