Seventeen tone piano project phase three Done. It seemed to be all my friends/people who humor me and are humored by me, and exactly one person I didn't know. Funtimes. Half-assery, in my opinion. I was mister jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none, playing borderline-passable slide whistle, udderbot, trombone, and piano, and being a silly ( Read more... )

Ha, even the complaints are half-assed, which I take as a good sign. There aren't a lot of available gestures of gratitude for sharing in an event -- bowing works when you don't have a mic to say thanks over applause, though it does feel weird to bow to friends. There's the communist gesture of applauding those who are applauding you ( ... )

Noise Monsters! Ha!

Otherwise, I'm giddily speechless in the face of this comment.

Wow, Jacob, that concert is a substantial offering. Regarding safety nets, which I've listened to once, what a weird thing! I was baffled by what Elliot was doing -- but I think I figured it out: I thought I was so cool with the laconic notation, but I think Elliot read it as single systems rather than simultaneous lines -- so that there was a spell of guitar, then of kazoo & tin, and then hihat & kick -- is that possible? so that instead of mostly short bursts he had spacious interruptions?
The x's of roughness and $'s of smarminess were surprisingly clear. The harmonics were a surprise.
I'm too tired to write more now, but this recording is really helpful for thinking of what to tweak, and it shoes the degree of committed presence you all put into something the reasons for which may have seemed ... obscure.

The other when you put up a post with 'fonala' as you current music, and did a search and found only websites in Hungarian

No, Elliot was doing what was written (listening with headphones helps). Part of what was baffling was the simultaneity of divergent tempi.

The more I listen to it, the more amazed I am with what all five of you did with this thing. You were speaking it. I find the thresholds between charm, annoyance, significance and wtf? are fluid.

I neglected to mention that for fast-reading purposes, Dan resorted to writing out all the note collections on grand staves, and I attempted to improve the dot-plus-articulation notation by copying each articulation symbol in the place of each dot.
