No Anna, Not Anal !!

This is a ballet about a group of anorexic lesbians who secretly desire the male composer that writes music for their pro-anorexic webpage. It covers many highly debated issues in the modern world including body image, desire, homosexuality and social media in the internet age.

No Anna, No Ana!!

Welcome to YC!

1- Please post incomplete works in the incomplete works forum.

2- Do you have a recording of the ballet?

3- Score please. I hear no direction, thematic material, nor even sensical sounds. Granted, I'm no expert of atonality. So a score would be most helpful.

[edit]Silva: yeah.

I don't think I need to even hear the music (I liked the midi rendition anyway, lol) with such a concept. Sold.

Want to explain what served as inspiration? And what's up with the opus number?

Wow. Well, no one can certainly accuse you of not being creative :blink: Or entirely sane :lol:

I actually enjoyed this piece -- the piano concerto you uploaded in the Orchestral Section was, I thought, rather tedious and obligatory -- minimalistic in an un-engaging way -- but this is clearly more playful and not so serious/pretentious.

(I hope.)

I like how trippy it is -- the discordant brass and wind remind me of something out of the psychedelic 60's. At first, I thought to myself, "There is simply no way that this relates to the outlandish scenario he portrays, he's clearly just trolling the forum again." But then I thought ... that experiencing this piece was rather like experiencing a bad dream. So maybe, just maybe you're trying to convey the feeling in a dream when you can't even use your legs (the piece had a "dragging" feeling to it, after all), trying to get away from all these "monsters", but finding that you can't. (Or maybe she's crawling to the fridge, but can't get there cuz she's starved? ROFL!!!) The anorexic sore, empty stomach being portrayed by the rather hollow sounding wind part. (Or maybe you think flutes are homosexual :<) Etc., etc.

Keep in mind this is a massive stretch of interpretation on my part of positively monolithic proportions, (be honest with yourself, how many other people are going to be as willing to work with you as me?) and there is absolutely no chance by Beethoven's wig that anyone would actually think that this piece was some sort of commentary on the world of fashion and the media if you hadn't said as much. I mean, come on.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm actually "liking" your piece -- the music's somewhat tasty to me, if a bit drab and underdeveloped in the rhythmic drudgery it portrays. Not bad!

(Just please reconsider your attitude that you're the greatest composer in the universe at this point in time, as you delicately pointed out in your Concerto upload. Maybe you feel that all publicity is good publicity, but it's a rather cheap way to get attention, don'tcha think?)

Thanks for sharing, but for the love of God, please don't upload your entire portfolio of opuses (opusi?), okee? You'll obliterate the tattered remains of this forum :nod:

Yes, this is a good analysis of the work. I tend to dream about sleeping with anorexic lesbians. Astute ear!

:lol: You're incredible.

They say aliens are the new mexicans this coming summer (earth - northern hemisphere, check it out).

Hey Everyone:

Just one word --

Poulenc

I didn't really enjoy this. There's nothing to cling to in the piece and the constant reaffirming of each beat becomes tedious after a while. It seems like you haven't really considered where your interest is going to come from in the piece. Without a sense of tonality to rely on, you have to make better use of rhythm, dynamics, texture and timbre to keep the listener interested and I just didn't really get a sense of that. Sorry to be so negative about it but I hope this helps somehow!

You obviously are the best composer in the world. This is so out there, this is like at least 20 years ahead of your time. Let the people ridicule you, you know your time will come. What do they know, scraggy... what do I even know! The reason I am tended to say I don't like this piece of crap is ONLY due to the fact that I don't understand this masterpiece, and this feeling I get which I can only describe as being a severe headache (might even be a stroke) is your genius' weight on my inferior brain. You, sir alien sir, deserve your own section, your own forum here on Young Composers - NO! Young Composers isn't even worthy of being in your almighty presence.

If I were to file you to anything it would be the internet itself.

Man... I love you, although I don't know why - although I don't understand why, but I feel I must be on my knees of grace, thanking you, my alien sir lord sir, with your blessed heart for uploading this piece, and your other pieces too. Utter emotions, utter emotions... You just made my life worth living again.
