Introduction for GMG

[MusicalDream]

Hello there world. It's my first time on here, and previously I'd just interact with people in real life (or reddit, but that wasn't the space for me for a variety of reasons) that I used to perform classical music with in school, and studied a wide variety of composers and even music theory but that's when I was a teenager. Now I'm in my mid to late 20s, and didn't pursue anything music related as a career, and am looking to find people of all skill and performance levels to just discuss classical music history, music theory, performance, or anything else.

Thank you 😁

Oddly enough, I didn't - despite the fact that it couldn't be more accurate if it tried. It predates the ubiquity of AI by some years, but that is the image I would be generating if it didn't 😊

Thanks for explaining, it's good to know that it's not AI generated. It caught my eye because it seemed very nintendo-esque, like something out of Animal Crossing

It's by this award-winning children's book illustrator:  https://www.zackrock.com/aboutzack

I like the Stanley Kubrick quote, is it from a film or did he say it in some interview?

Here are some books with ideas on generating new sounds from our 12 notes:

Avenir de Monfred The New Diatonic Modal Principle of Relative Music

https://www.abebooks.com/first-edition/NDM-PRINCIPLE-RELATIVE-MUSIC-Monfred-Avenir/13491593473/bd

"New" is probably outdated now, since it was published 55 years ago!   

But the book will probably be new to you!


And:

Tibor Serly's Modus Lascivus: the original is horribly expensive, but this book explains everything about it:

I came across it in a book I have about Kubrick's films.
