Hi there. Some people here might know me from elsewhere, some others might not wish to know me — I won't hazard a guess as to the overlap between the two groups. For everyone else: pleased to be making your acquaintance.

"Crudblud" - OK, there's a username you don't see that often! (Origin, please, for those of us who are curious.)

Tell us a little about yourself - where you are, what kinds of music you like.

Most of all, have fun.

Cheers,

Crudblud! Great to see you here!

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome.

For Bruce and other curious parties: The name's about thirteen years old now. Some school friends and I used to go to a now defunct cyber/gaming cafe, on my first visit I had to register for an account there and Crudblud was the first thing that popped into my head. I've been using it ever since.

As for me, I'm a composer based in the north of England (though I was born in the south) and I mainly work with computers. I'm also reasonably proficient on the guitar and on single-reed woodwind instruments, particularly alto saxophone and clarinet. At the moment I work at a local independent game development studio as a writer and composer.

My musical interests are pretty broad, I never call myself a fan of any particular genre, but I could probably come up with at least a few things in any given category that I enjoy. More relevant to the general topic of this forum: I like Mahler, Ravel, Messiaen, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Webern, Ives, and Carter, to name a few, and I guess my favourite music is generally of the 20th century, but I am also a fan of Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas, the chamber works of Beethoven, Luzzaschi madrigals, Bach's solo violin music, Froberger partitas and so forth.

Outside of music I enjoy watching films, reading books (mostly novels), playing games, and baking.

Yeah.  Another one of the good ones.  It seems that the level of discussion is going down over there.

Welcome and have fun!

[Crudblud]

Yeah.  Another one of the good ones.  It seems that the level of discussion is going down over there. 

You flatter me, arpeggio. I have been looking for somewhere else for a while, since I started to realise it was not a lack of a desire to discuss music with other people but rather a lack of a desire to do it there. I hope this is that "somewhere else."

Welcome and have fun!

Thanks, nice to meet you.

Hi Crudblud, you may remember me from my variation project?
Welcome 

But of course. Did the "scrolling score" video ever come to fruition?

[Crudblud]

It didn't, unfortunately. The experience was great though and I learnt quite a bit about the ways different people interpret the same idea.

By the way, I've been following you on Soundcloud and Youtube. I like your work a great lot! 

Too bad, but at least we all had a chance to try something new.

And thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'll hopefully have new stuff to share soon.

Hello again, Crudblud, I beat you here by a couple of days !!

Hi Crudblud.

It just this minute struck me that so many TC people are here now - that your reasons for leaving may have preceded you.   

[Mahlerian]

The mass migration just keeps going.  I've long enjoyed your input to discussions as well as listening to your music.  Welcome!

[Reckoner]

Hey dude.

Hello again, Crudblud, I beat you here by a couple of days !!

You did, and you also brought me here. Please don't hold it against him, folks!

Hi Crudblud.

Well, I couldn't let you guys have all the fun, now could I? Good to see you, Hilly.

The mass migration just keeps going.  I've long enjoyed your input to discussions as well as listening to your music.  Welcome!

Another face I'm glad to see. The other place just hasn't been the same, getting less so as more good posters leave for elsewhere.

Hey dude.   

Took me a while to notice your sig. Hello! Glad to see so many familiar faces here.

Can't hurt to try, can it? Thanks!

[Andante]

It's amazing how many x TC people are here is it raising the IQ level of both forums?

Crudblud, you've found a friend in me! Welcome aboard!

Crudblud, you've found a friend in me! Welcome aboard!

Nice to meet you! Though I should warn you I'm not big on Prokofiev... maybe you'll change my mind one of these days.
