Re: ITT we hint at our songs for next week (501 replies, posted in General Discussion)

The most famous scream in the history of the world in cheesy electronic renditions of ideas expressed by Ligeti? I think so!
Taking kitsch to a whole new level...

Haha She wasn't a composer (as far as I'm aware): http://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/lovelace.html
I threw her name in for good measure.
I've never heard of Boulenger.

The music of science? Heh, clearly, I'd heard the name but not the context. Silly me!

Unfortunately, I've not heard much of Boulanger's music. But, amongst others, she taught John Cage.

Mmm...how many people have heard of Daphne Oram? How many have heard of ADA LOVELACE?
During my entire undergraduate mus tech. degree we were introduced to the work of a total of THREE electronic/electroacoustic music composers (and note that the preface to each introduction began with a mention of their sex/sexual orientation – i.e. a&b are lesbians, c is now a woman). Very gay, indeed.
In any event, the real author of the 10 Rules was Sister Corita Kent and her art students at the time (did you check the link I posted?). I don't know about "genius", inspired, yes.
...Cage is still most excellent.

That'st rue, inspired is a better term. I've heard of Lovelace too, but am not familiar with her music.

I hate that it constantly gets attributed to Cage.
THERE ARE NO GREAT FEMALE ARTISTS.

Oram?

But yes, I hear what you're saying. Cage gets attributed to it due to posting it at Merce Cunningham's dance studio, so I understand...

The real author should be attributed! They are genius.

Hahaha. That sounds pretty tasty. Not sure about mixing roo with eggs though, even with a severe hangover! I ended up having ham and cheese on toast.

Topic: Composition of mine - up for award (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)

This is a live performance of a reasonably large piece I wrote this year, thought you guys might like to hear some other stuff I do.

EDIT (20/9/2012):
So this composition has been selected for an award, plus there's a people's choice and I'm in the running for the main prize too. Woo!

Feel free to share/vote/etc on the link below, and check out the rest of the exhibition, there's some really phenomenal stuff. If you live in Sydney or are going to be in Sydney on the 19th, there's a bit of a shindig at a gallery. Come and say hi.

I really appreciate the support and everything.
