Hi...

I'm the same guy with this nickname in some other places in the internet. Some people here already know me.

I listen and like to discuss all periods of western academic music, from medieval to 21th century, as well as traditional music from different cultures.

I also like some jazz, my favorite is Bill Evans.

I studied piano and music theory many years and with many different teachers. I still play the piano and try to maintain my fingers fresh. I also try to compose a little in contemporary styles and like to improvise some jazz from time to time.

Cya in the dicussions!

And what tier do they occupy?  ;D

Hi aleazk,

Looking forward talking with you about music.  What are your thoughts on vocal music and opera ?

Well, mon vieux, I am happy you've become active here. Your posts, and the music you post, provide a most welcome quality, both the verbal posts and your music, to any music forum.

Always best regards,
Monsieur Croche (or is that Monsieur Chroche[ty]? ;-)

Hi man, it's your pal Xenakiboy here. Looks like a few of us are hanging out here, it's a nice place.  8)
You're Xenakiboy? I occasionally lurk that other shithole of a forum. I love reading your posts over there!

I've been banned from the 'other forum' too many times to count. GMG is definitely the best classical forum on the web. Nice folks. Friendly atmosphere and you're not put under a microscope by the moderators. I believe I joined in 2010 and I haven't looked back. Made some good friends to boot, which is always a great thing to find other people who connect to the same composers you do.

Well if you insist upon making such a petit point...

What is "the" other forum for GMG members? For me, it's the Art-Music Forum, a quiet corner where some very quiet people meet since their expulsion from the Unsung Composers Forum, a couple of years ago. I also visited some German and French languages fora in the past - but they're mostly out of sight, here.

BTW, hi aleazk!!

The "other" forum I'm referring to is Talk Classical.
