Dear colleagues,
I am currently busy revising my old orchestral works and creating computer simulations.
I am having difficulty achieving the sonic results in the simulations that I would like. I also think that my way of working is often not really effective.
I work with Dorico, many Synchron- instruments (standard libraries) from VSL (I will buy more), own large parts of the Symphonic Cube and VSL software. I also use Noteperformer with playback engines.
Therefore I would like to take lessons.
Goals are:
- Help with setting up Dorico and VSL to work effectively in the future.
- Help with creating realistic simulations of my orchestral compositions.
I have particular difficulties with mixing, balancing and setting up percussion instruments.
(I do not need help in the areas of composition, instrumentation and notation).
I am working on several compositions with a large orchestra (sometimes also with instruments less common in the classical orchestra, such as accordion, saxophones, Latin percussion), often with extensive percussion.
My music is mainly influenced by early modern music (Stravinsky, Hindemith, Debussy, Webern...) but also by popular music styles (jazz, Latin...). My scores are very dense and very detailed in terms of articulation and dynamics.
I prefer personal arrangements for lessons: I live in Rotterdam. But I can also travel: the whole of the Netherlands, North Rhine-Westphalia, Belgium or Paris.
I would be happy to receive lessons in German or Dutch, but English is also possible.
Fee by arrangement. Start of lessons: approximately in 1 or 2 months. Frequency and duration: by arrangement.
If you are interested, please send me a PM. In order to make a decision, I would like to see/hear an example of your work (score + computer simulation).
Greetings,
Andreas Kunstein
