When people complain about a writer or speaker "using too many big words" I genuinely wonder why it seems like so many people want to live in a bland #NewSpeak #dystopia where everyone talks like a #robot. #Variety is the spice of life. #Composition is an #art form. We have so many different words that can be used to express any given idea. Why not make full use of that array of options? Would these people tell a painter to only paint in one color?

Working on a simple #collage for teaching #composition in my next #artJournal #workshop. #PaperCollage on a gessoed piece of a used package. #recycling #upcycling #ArtistOfMastodon #PaperArt #artjournaling

Collected pieces of paper in colour harmony: a wild and abstract design. 2 butterflies, words, writing, cross-stich flowers, a vintage photo of two young ladies. A rectangular piece of cardboard, painted with white gesso. The composition will be cross-form. (Photo 1)
Detail showing the layering: Every detail connects different layers or builds a cross itself. Strong colours like this dark brown build focal points. (Photo 2)
The finished collage. Every layer is connected. The photo is the main focal point. Some smaller ones strengthen the harmony. Two different French texts oscillate with the pictures and tell everybody an own story. (Photo 4)
A test if the layers look good or if something is to change. The vintage photo is the biggest focus point now. The cross-construction of the writing and the wild drawing leads the look like a frame. Parts have to be added. (Photo 3)

If you like Brass chorales, you should check out my latest composition 😊

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Q-PcxE4cE

#music #composition #brass #chorale

It's pointless me sitting here pretending that I am going to be somehow anti-AI in #music because, despite me knowing how my own music is made (yes... without using it outside of tonal layer stripping)... in a controlled test, I probably won't be able to tell the difference.

#ArtificialIntelligence #music #composition
The future is probably more and more quantised 126bpm, 2 dimensional and lifeless...and I hope I can fucking detect it.

Who’s ready for another round of #TipsoftheTrail?

Today I’m encouraging experimentation and while this can apply to all aspects of photography I want to highlight the importance of it in relation to composition.

Composition can be difficult, especially in wildlife photography where the subjects are moving quickly. However, while you may not be able to get the most perfect composition everytime, it is something you should experiment and have fun with.

I’ve ben doing this recently and have captured the following two photos.

1) Two #Yellowhammer birds almost symmetrical, one in focus, one not, sitting on a farm fence.

2) A singing #blackbird but extremely small in frame.

Neither are ‘typical’ wildlife shots but after getting the more usual composition-based images, I decided to experiment. I moved position, zoomed out and tried positioning the birds in different areas of the screen.

When I got home and reviewed my images, I was pleasantly surprised with these. They turned out even better than what I was hoping for.

So…in short, when it comes to composition…experiment and have fun. You never know what you might capture.

I feel like I've really been fighting with #musical #composition and writing lately. That's not a bad thing... I enjoy the challenge.

I think I am now more concerned with completion (not to be confused with resolution... which I dislike in music anyway) and completion is about finding something close to the end of a thing that works.
It's not about 'setting levels' (in a conventional pink noise bullshit model)... it's about encouraging an ear to even be a little tempted.

Today I've been #writing about managing #vulnerability (in the context of using #composition #documentation within finished pieces). I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole of my own blog & YouTube channel, trying to work out when I started composing in public - apparently it's been THIRTEEN YEARS. I wrote my first #WIP post in late 2010, where I wrote about the first steps I was taking for a new piece ('Thickets' for string quintet). I had no idea I've been doing this for so long!

Restricting Background Values & Contrast
Livestream replay

One of the challenges to painting background-to-foreground is finding the balance between making the environment feel detailed enough that it seems finished, but not so detailed that it competes with the figure.

#composition #music_video #strange_attractors
Finished today, a somewhat longer series than my usual. It's devoted to some images that seemed to me to be "visual hemiolas". I made each of the strange attractors in this series in such a way that three colors are blended together, at the same time that the image is made to have two-fold rotational symmetry. The scoring is for two pianos.

@dekkzz76 Let's see... 1) #Perl is a full-featured, high-level programming language, so it is a natural for abstract musical tinkering. 2) Sean M. Burke created MIDI set of modules for Perl back in '98. Also 3) I had been using the language professionally for a few years so I was experienced enough to try fooling with #music programming and #MIDI #composition.

Yarn/Wire play Nathan Davis' "de clocher á clocher"
- a live premiere recording march 22, 2012 at issue project room, brooklyn ny., mixed by the composer himself.

Sparse, bell-like, soothing, open, bright, minimal, timeless -> 2x #piano & #percussion - beautiful new music from Issue Project Room's long-going concert series of music by young and excellent non-mainstream composers. This could be called chamber music, if classical definitions would broaden their definition ;)

Volumes 13 & 14 of my #composition #notebooks are up now. Continuing slow composition progress through this period (Jan-Apr 2022), but work started on two collaborative pieces - From the Exquisite Dark with Josh Spear & Nightcall with Edward Henderson. Some other bits too, and some mentions for pieces I still haven't started/finished & may have in fact abandoned... https://notebook.caitlinrowley.com/

Images of nine notebook spreads. There are some patches of colour here and there, a few pasted in images. Most notably, in the second row, there are rough circular patches - in the leftmost image, these are randomly placed, but have clearly been torn out of the collaged page seen in the central image. Some of the writing has the appearance of lists, some seems to be more thorough thoughts. A couple of pages with week-to-a-page vertical layout as in a diary, are blurred so the writing is indistinct.

Get ready to dive into the controversy surrounding Maren Morris's debut single, "My Church" from her album Hero (2016). At first glance, the lyrics and musical content of the song might seem harmless enough, fitting snugly within the societal and religious traditions of the Southern United States. But as we all know, first impressions can be deceiving.

Some country music purists were quick to lament the introduction of pop, rock, hip hop, and other musical elements into what they consider to be a narrower definition of country music. While Morris's music may incorporate some of these elements, "My Church" is firmly rooted in country music tradition. The song's 4/4 meter, simple rhythms, and pentatonic melody all fit squarely within Harlan Howard's "three chords and the truth."

So why was "My Church" so controversial? Well, it turns out that the combination of its lyrics, music, and imagery from the music video caused quite a stir. The song's references to church, redemption, and country music icons like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash rubbed some people the wrong way. And let's not forget the long, therapeutic drives listening to country music - a sentiment that struck a chord with some listeners and raised eyebrows with others.

Despite the controversy, "My Church" was a hit, and it's not hard to see why. The song's catchy melody and singable lyrics make it a perfect addition to any country music playlist. So, whether you're a die-hard country music fan or someone who just appreciates a good tune, give "My Church" a listen and decide for yourself if it deserves all the fuss.

If you need #composition, #editing, #mixing, #production of any #audio projects done (#podcasts, #videos , #music, ...) , get in touch! I am the perfect blend of #artist and #engineer! I also have a high quality recording setup and a great voice, so I can do intros, #voiceover , #voiceacting , etc. as well. And as a little bonus, I use #FOSS for all of my work, which is likely a plus for you if you're already in the #fediverse!

A leaf caught in the strong current of a river inspired this composition.

What's interesting is that, although it is a long exposure, the leaf is sharp because it was stuck and not moving much.

A client of mine bought this as an enlarge print for the entrance of their new home.

Already feeling overwhelmed by too much #Christmas cheer? Have I got the perfect remedy for you!

Please enjoy this slow and melancholy arrangement of a beloved holiday classic.

2 bikes leaning on the brick-wall full of leafes. The one is blue and the other is pink. You can also see the historic buildings in the background of the smallest city on earth called Hum.

Every landscape has a unique sound. The movement of this grass in the wind sounded like chattering voices whispering in a strange language. Landscape is often an inspiration for composing music. Rhythm is everywhere around us. Melody floats in unusual places.

Landscape with blue sky dotted with scattered white clouds. Tall grass caught by the wind makes a soft chattering sound.

Nocturne no.6
The start of the B theme. Fellow piano players, is it actually playable? Tempo: quarter around 150 bpm

skipped the whole intro post thing, so have a belated one:

~6mo ago I left my 14y career as Asst Dir of Tulane Bands to pursue my own #composition and eclectic projects, the most prominent being my #newmusic presenting series @nF_nola

I love #cooking. i'm primarily NOLA influenced.

I have another acct, @MendelPlays for #boardgames and my obsession with #OxygenNotIncluded (for which I started a YT series)

I love people and hearing their stories. Feel free to tell me yours.

First picture from outside! Testing out the gear and starting to get my hands dirty with #composition, #lightning, and #editing.

Lightroom is sooo cool.

Shot with a #sony #a6100 using the kit lense (15-50mm). Nothing too fancy, just waiting on the bus too a while.

Back in the "studio" working on another #jazz #composition. Feels good.

So, #introduction time I suppose

#UK (Northamptonshire) based #composer, #music tutor and sometime #twitch #streamer with a recently rekindled healthy (maybe unhealthy) interest in #AmDram

#Streams involve both #gaming and the live #composition of #NewMusic made available at https://jonathanellson.bandcamp.com

Am currently #MusicDirector of a local community #choir

Moving here as part of the great #TwitterMigration to initially test the waters in case of what might or might not happen.
