Ottevanger's Omphaloskeptic Outpost

[Guido]

Is it a cello piece? It's a cello piece isn't it. Definitely a cello piece. Yup. What's that, you give me your word it's a cello piece? That's very kind of you! 

Seriously though... White modulations suggests to me strongly something using modes. Either that or it's a white supremacist's view on tonality. 

Sorry for the astonishingly irritating nature of this post.

Yes, that is a problem, isn't it! That's why it's only a working title, I suppose. Though a shame it carries those overtones - as a title I rather like it, and it's very suitable for the music I have in mind.

You're right on the modes, of course, though 'modulations' doesn't only concern this; 'white', also, doesn't only concern the colour. Cryptic, huh?

Luke could write something like Mexican modulations.........

(if there is such a thing- i don't hear much modulating in mariachi music)

[karlhenning]

Working title for the new piece, just to tantalise a little: White modulations

Splendid title, and consider Guido tantalized! 

[Joe_Campbell]

Well, white could mean white keys on the piano, so maybe modes of C major?

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

This is turning into Mystery Scores 2.0.

Yes, there's ever so much room for white just meaning white.

[lukeottevanger]

Or white.

[Guido]

Or white.

White as in reactionary?

[karlhenning]

Erm, white as in bleached of color.

[lukeottevanger]

White. As in: White

[karlhenning]

Myriad applicabilities having nothing to do with . . . race.

[lukeottevanger]

Or colour, of course.

So, White modulations it remains, until and unless I think of something better.

40 pages now. Another page of profound insight for Eugene to plough his way through, poor guy.

A few quick stats:

Luke has the dubious honour of being the 9th most frequent poster on this forum. (Though his post count is dwarfed by the faintly ridiculous total that Karl has racked up).

I have the even more dubious honour of being the 6th most frequent topic starter on the forum... 

The Mystery Scores thread is the 6th most visited and 5th most posted on thread.

Luke also accounts for over 28% of the posts in the Composing and Performing board(!)

[lukeottevanger]

Some truly frightening facts there, thank you.

Most worrying is the 'time spent online' statistic that one can't avoid, though. Really? 60 days of my life? 

[Guido]

That means that from the date that you registered, over 11% of your life has been spent on this forum.

[lukeottevanger]

Only 11%  Not so bad as I thought

Make me feel better - work out the same stat for Johan 

[Guido]

He is not in the top 10...
