jrcramer Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 What? I'm mad at myself for underestimating them - I actually thought highly of Pax's piece (BTW, where IS it?), but I couldn't count on my opinion being shared by the jury, so I didn't bet on it at all for the final results (not even mentioning it!). So I'm glad that they proved me wrong - if someone can't tell from my fav composers, I'm into more modern music - but it's not like I have this cult mindset of thinking higher of myself just because I have a wider (not necessarily better) taste. ok, I am glad I misunderstood you ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaqamDjinn Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Congratulations to the winners! It seems we had an excellent group of submissions this round... I enjoyed listening to everyone's pieces! :D For a second, I thought you had the wrong link, because I did not understand a word you wrote about, or how it relates to the artwork, then I realized, you did. For some reason, the link sent me to a king chess piece, and under it says "to be" with a tennis ball underneath. I searched, and I found a key with a bunch of gems on top, and when I clicked "full image" on that, it changed the pic. Wow... I'm sorry the link wasn't working for you. I'm glad you eventually found the right image, though! I originally wanted to go farther with the musical imagery, but I, uh... procrastinated too much. :blush: Perhaps I'll revisit the source artwork in another composition. On a side note (now that the competition is over :musicwhistle: ), I noticed the marimba lines in mm. 65-76 of my composition are marked with staccato articulations and slurs to convey the musical intent of the line. However, since the instrument's natural sound decay would technically render the articulations useless, should I even include them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
