Dad3353 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1433420905' post='2790919'] Particularly like the Henry Threadgill style bass horns! I'll bet your compo next month will be dissonant and/or modal jazz... [/quote] What..? That's not dissonant enough..? No, I'm not going to resort to the skirling of bagpipes, modal or not..! My alternate title could have been 'The Melody of Chaos' (Or Chaotic Melody..? Melomane Caves In..? Katy Mellows..? A Case of Marshmallow..? Oh, hang it all..! ) As for Threadgill, I'd have to say I've had more exposure to Underwood or Bill Byers from the Zappa era, or Vander's Magma, but yes, there is a place for anarchy in music, despite that.

Bilbo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I just wanted to comment on the fact that my piece has been listened to 49 times since I posted it last week. I have friends who are professional tv/film composers whose sound cloud pieces have 7 or 8 listens. Most of my stuff gets listened to a couple of hundred times!

I'm not sure that the 'numbers game' tells us much about music, and tells us not much more about numbers..! I do find it odd that so many listens are clocked up, but so few votes are cast. Those that listen are not BCers..? Who are these people..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(personal experience haha) We really shouldn't be looking at numbers, the end of the month votes are what really count the most, at least as far as this competition goes.

lurksalot Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 And further I would say that the pieces that I put up and like the best ,tend to get more listens , one thing that does happen though, is that when I play a tune on soundcloud then it plays another straight after , and invariably it picks one from your playlist Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
