  • Angelo,
    I'd have to get the dictionary out and watch this a few times to understand what your friend is saying, but i get the drift, so to speak.

    The view behind him is spectacular... [:)]

    Regards,

    Alex.

    No dictionary necessary! While you look into vast abysses of space and time... the abyss looks into you, or if you call into the forest, you will incur roaming charges not covered by your plan. I guess what Carlo wanted to express was: "The way you call into the forest, the way it will shout back at you" or "How you call into the forest, the echo will return", but since he is above the timber line (tree limit), he yells into the kettle and the kettle is replying.

    Carlo: The way I call into the kettle, the way it has to shout back at you
    Kettle: No never
    Carlo: I said, as I call into the kettle, it has to shout back at you!
    Kettle. I won't do that, forget it!

    etc. approx. the same lines repeating in variations till the end of the video.

    Thats me Angelo. He He Very funny. Thats not funny ! Some of us can't afford wives you know.

    Have you got your opus II yet ?
    Pro/Ed ?
    VI ?

    Maybe we can get VSL to throw in the doll with VI cube. That'll pump sales up.

    Robert,

    you, making vacation in Switzerland every year, I thought you must be a multi millionaire. Already planed that I show you the best restaurants next time they drop you off the plane with a parachute over Geneva with a coke bottle in your hand, if not so, you may find a women at the Lake of Zürich, who can afford to marry a composer and part time gigolo.......

    No, I haven't expanded my VSL library, still Opus I+II only. Of course I still use the older libraries like the Vitous, Siedlaczek, Ultimate Strings, and all the other creepy crap.

    Just realized I never used a Pipe Organ in one of my works, so I'm listen to the organ demos.

    Also ordered "Atsia - West African Dancing Drums" for the ballet "An Evening Without Angels", who has an african part in it.

    Well In that case Angelo. I'm humbled. Thank you.
    I've honestly been left behind in one of germany's airport, In 1964. They had to bring the airplane back. (true story) I don't think they like Mr. Bojangles very much. They keep trying to get rid of me. I'm also not allowed in Zurich's music Hug any longer. All I try to do is practice on the incredible hamburg steinway's. They seem to think its a national security risk. But thats true here in my home town also. They chase me around with fire trucks. The inflatable doll helps alot though. The next time I'm over Genieve, I'll get in touch, right before they throw me out the door. Thank you Angelo. I don't own the VI yet also. I guess that makes me a two cents millionaire. The music business, the only business that guarantees trouble. And 100% loss. The key is to stay working in seclution. Please keep the doll story quiet. That could ruin my reputation. Thanks.

  • R.K., I disagree with one thing - the music business is the only one that guarantees trouble and 100% loss. The film business is that, and worse. Usually guarantees jail time and 1,000% loss. I know. [:'(]

  • Jail time is the fatuated issue absolutely. Thanks for the in depth focus william. Now we're on the same page. Let me tell you a stroke of luck I ran into. Ever sense I can remember, I've alway's gotten offers that one cannot refuse, if you know what I mean. You refuse and you get a knock on the door. Alway's working for others and never having anything to show for. In jail primarily as you put it. And then the darndest thing happened to me. I was in Oklahoma city one night when the federal building went up a few years back. And ever since then I've been out of jail. Never got any offers any more, out of jail, blacklisted for life. And the irony is I've written three books so far, with many lined up for future date. Have 4 to 5 CD's on the burner, almost completed. This has never been able to happen before. I can't believe it. I have the time to myself. Incredible. I can go nuts any time I wish. Watch this
    !@##$$%^&&*(*())_œ?´´®†®†¥¥¨¨ˆøˆø?ø?. Its great, A little late of-course I'm in my fifties now but late better than never. Once again œ?´®†¥†¥¨ˆ¨ˆøø?“æ…¬???©?©ƒ??ß?ßßå?˜˜µ?µ. YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA Its time for my nap now. Bye William. Thanks for touching bases with reality. I stopped smoking as you recomended.

    Fantastic views, Mathis. I'm a big fan of mountain scenery, and it's my intention to end my days in alpine countryside, surrounded by such majesty.

    Thanks for posting this.

    Hahaha!

    Angelo,
    A wonderful quote.

    And that effectively puts paid to any aspirations i might have had of a
    'Symphony of the alps!'

    Regards,

    Alex.

  • There are smaller things of endless amounts in the alps and everywhere else worth making a little composition about. Some people, like Mahler for example, are born with Grössenwahnsinn (engl. megalomania), and see only the big picture. Of course there is nothing wrong with Mahler's music, also there are still so many beautiful things left to be composed in C major.

    Did you ever listen to the music of Marie-Joseph-Alexandre-Deodat de Severac (1872-1921), a composer who worked all his lifetime as a school teacher and is one of the very few composers the music I really love, respectively play or listen to from time to time.

    Angelo,
    I've not had the opportunity to listen to De Severac's work, so i'll go looking. Thanks for the tip.

    And your quote of '.....there are still so many beautiful things left to be composed in C major', runs to the heart of my personal philosophy about the 'life' left in what some would call 'finished genres.'
    I profoundly agree with you.

    Regards,

    Alex.

  • Hay Igrohn
    Are you still pissed off at the string quartet samples only, or have you forgave and moved on to the biggies. You were mentioning the C# and D flat aquisition earlier. If you use logic I can walk you on how to achieve these articulation. Or are you still pissed off completely on the string quartets obligatories. you hold a mean fort. Are you a viking ? I'm a munshkin.

    How? And those are not any articulations. Those are facts when playing strings only.

  • Igrohn - has anyone ever told you you're a genius?

  • Reminds me of this:

    http://www.soundsonline-forums.com/showthread.php?t=2242&page=4&highlight=string+quartet

    At that moment they also cancelled my writing rights on that forum. If you can find the reason, please tell me ...

  • If its not articulation then what exagtacly is it ?

    And i'm sorry for you about the other forum cancelation, But people do not tolerate geniuses, nowaday's. Especialy if they're in numerous fields. Please try to tolerate the music field for a second or two. I wrote a slide up in a violin, last night just for you. To see if thats what you're talking about. If its not it, please explain !

    Using differently tuned scales isn't any articulation, isn't it? And as far I know one can't change those in the flight during the piece?!

  • The solo strings have major and minor scales in the performance instruments ARTICULATION instruments. Don't tell me those arn't articulation scales, mister!!
