@superhighfives Omg this is my favourite example I’ve seen

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@DRMacIver A particularly stark example is Sibelius second symphony second movement. It starts with double bass pizzicato played super quiet, but later has some moderately loud brass bits later. If I listen on headphones on (say) the tube, the first few minutes are basically inaudible

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@DRMacIver The classic problem with classical music reproduction is that classical music has an enormous dynamic range. Either the quiet bits are below background noise level or the loud bits risk causing hearing damage

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@DRMacIver The last movement of Tchaikovsky’s 6th symphony. Intense melodrama. The folklore is the composer was dying as he wrote it and the tam tam near the end represents the moment of death

I'm going to be in SF from 28th-4th. Anyone want to meet up? Any events I should check out?

@GabriellaG439 They transcribed it wrong but I know the truth https://t.co/VgVjk8Zm5h

@GabriellaG439 https://t.co/BdqVGL1hBv awooooooooooo

@diptanu I mean having old iPhone model batteries degrading is what’s motivating my upgrade

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@colmmacc 👏🏻 very cool. I’m from Scotland but all my music making has been classical, I wish I could do Celtic music like this

@noteed @GabriellaG439 Sometimes the right tool is the one you happen to have in your toolbox rather than the one in the hardware store 20 miles away

@nomilkinmytea @namvdo @ChShersh This. We’ve been doing vhosting since http/1.1 in 1999. Two hostnames with the same IP address can be two different websites. So as well as being slow and wasteful to make this a blocking call, it’s just wrong for the 21st century web.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

Anyway it’s fascinating to me that we’ve managed to build web authentication infrastructure that is neither secure, nor possible for most people over the age of 70 to make sense of. It’s kind of brilliant.

Never even liked tennis anyway.

Just spitballing here, but maybe we should wait for a more detailed analysis of the failure mode before we move on to the solutions phase?

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@Susannavega Yes they sorted it in DM. Still baffled that as far as I can tell this is the official support route

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@sykescottages I have a booking with you but it's not showing up in my account. And because I don't have a booking in my account, there's literally zero way to contact you as far as I can see. Help! I want to ask questions like "how do I pay the balance"

[Philip Potter @philandstuff]

@lb_southwark @willnorman @peddlemywheels I tried using the cargo bike code but peddlemywheels website errors with “These Coupons have been used”. Is the code out of date?

[Music Patron @musicpatronuk]

Who is a composer?

This is the question we are posing and challenging at Music Patron.

Hear from Head of Music Patron, @sonia_stevenson about the ways we are supporting composers from a wide range of backgrounds, genres and career stages
