@TempoNewMusic Good call.

Composers. What kinds of musical ideas and/or already existing pieces leap to your mind when thinking of the word "corrupt"? Or what do you do to "mindmap" your way to ideas?

No suggestions will be treated as invalid because that luxury is fast disappearing.

@liligravybread Love that. Erroneous technological processes. Excellent idea.

For this week's score study lecture i've picked Beethoven's Grosse Fuge. After all it's so easy and reasonable to listen and explain Beethoven's most bizarrely complicated work in just over an hour right?

@TwommoF1 Well it certainly couldn't involve Yuki. Fingers crossed for an Albon, Russell, Ocon podium one day?

Rule 1: Make sure your music is clear to avoid wasting rehearsal time and to inspire confidence in the musicians you're working with.

I would say Nancarrow player piano studies or the Holliger "Der Winter" you did an analysis on.

Percussionist hivemind! Does anybody know of any percussion pieces for Woodblocks and Templeblocks?

[Thomas Misson @TomMisson]

What's on the practice stand tonight? Any guesses?

[Thomas Misson @TomMisson]

Does anybody else out there bloody love a composing spreadsheet?

[Two Composers One Channel @2Comps1Channel]

Find out if we "got something usable" on May 1st! Until then, enjoy some very subtle subliminal advertising.
