March–April competition: here
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) instead of just 1
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) because there were be call for scores for like 3 concerts
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) next year there will be far more chances
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) sorry austenite
@  Austenite : (18 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) Not me :P
@  Austenite : (18 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) Yeah, read them a couple hours ago.
@  p7rv : (18 May 2013 - 06:50 PM) oh. who won
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:50 PM) results were posted today
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:50 PM) it's done
@  p7rv : (18 May 2013 - 06:50 PM) hey. When was the deadline for that piano piece, again?
@  Austenite : (18 May 2013 - 06:49 PM) Hello :)
@  SYS65 : (18 May 2013 - 06:48 PM) hey Paul
@  Morgri : (18 May 2013 - 06:47 PM) how are you guys?
@  Cadenza91 : (18 May 2013 - 06:41 PM) i haven't heard anything by any of those composers which sounds like 'spectral' music
@  SYS65 : (18 May 2013 - 06:40 PM) does anyone think this are 5 real pianos ? people is so ignorant http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Mr4cWS8oR1w
@  p7rv : (18 May 2013 - 06:39 PM) I think the award for world's most atrocious composition description goes to this: http://youtu.be/Z44itcyPny0
@  .fseventsd : (18 May 2013 - 06:33 PM) also george benjamin, oliver knussen etc are sort of the "theme park version" of spectralism—watered down, sanitized and broadly oversimplified
@  .fseventsd : (18 May 2013 - 06:32 PM) Cadenza91 : (18 May 2013 - 06:00 PM)there's a grad student at my school who writes 12 tone music. just straight up. all quarter and eighth notes, no syncopation <<< you should be proud because you have just met the reincarnation of anton von webern
@  Robin Haigh : (18 May 2013 - 06:08 PM) well that seems to be the background he came from, spending time at IRCAM and such
@  Cadenza91 : (18 May 2013 - 06:05 PM) i haven't heard anything by him that bears any resemblance to those composers
@  Robin Haigh : (18 May 2013 - 06:05 PM) isn't george benjamin more on the spectral side?
@  p7rv : (18 May 2013 - 06:04 PM) I understood that to mean it looks like a second species exercise >there's nothing wrong with that kind of rhythmic language
@  Robin Haigh : (18 May 2013 - 06:04 PM) I don't mean to become dedicated to any book, I just think it's always interesting to read new things but there are so many books by composers out there
@  Cadenza91 : (18 May 2013 - 06:04 PM) guys like George Benjamin, Olliver Knussen, Lutoslawski come to mind
@  Cadenza91 : (18 May 2013 - 06:04 PM) but his ideas definitely inspired those post-serial-though-still-kind-of-serial/set theory composers
