A request to amateur composers who visit this page

Topic started by Vijay (@ 212.137.205.127) on Thu Nov 16 16:58:22 EST 2000.

I'd like to request amateur composers who visit this page to tell me if they've uploaded any of their work onto the internet and if they have, please tell me where I can listen to it. Thank You.

  Aditya, thanks. I understand that myself. I will get back with a comp myself before I speak.

  Swamiji:
  
  Thanks for not taking it in wrong sense. I have a feeling that good music is there in u...
  Please roll over good music...From the past experiences and hearing from what people say in this page and what have u been commenting...I guess u would make a good style! Looking forward to see another Amateur Composer in this thread...I will be the first one to welcome u onboard.
  
  Regards,
  Aditya

  Well Aditya,
  A good listener is the best critic for a composer. Doesnt necessarily mean that the guy has to be making music..after all how many professional critics are into making music??
  I know one of my friends who's totally into music...he's opened a new world to me of unknown bands who are much better than the mainstream music that we hear. And he is capable of giving a very polished review of a song...and he knows nothing about chords or scales. :)
  All you need to review a song is a good sense of music.
  And I think Swamiji was talking generally about his ideas of how to make a song...and it has only helped us. We all learned a little bit more.

  Jay:
  
  Please don't drag this topic...Swamiji understood what I said...We are going to listen to his music...that's the positive outcome of the posting...
  
  Don't complicate...I know how important is a good listener for a composer...While criticising, Swamiji has ventured into certain subtle topics of composing which can only be explained with a composition...And he's on that job.
  
  Just a note about Swamiji...
  Swamiji's not introducing us to a band who plays music. He seems to know quiet a lot about Chords,WCM and Scales...So he should ideally belong amateur composers list not just a good listener...That's my concern...
  
  So no detours...Straight...
  
  Regards,
  Aditya

  I have been watching this thread for a while now and just wanted to say this I think it is high time ppl stopped pointing fingers at one another and instead use the energy and time spent on phrasing and rephrasing responses to one another to making/composing challenging tunes... We are all interested in listening to new and novel ideas of amateur composers and the very term amateur means that we need to point out and at the same time overlook minor flaws! No point being extremely critical and harsh! A word of encouragement bundled together with our true opinion about the song goes a long way in motivating the composer! Nobody is perfect!

  Thanks IR! That was a very Good Advise.

  Jay thanks for ur suggestions.
  what are the other tools do you use apart from triton?
  mixers and stuff?
  It will be nice if swamiji can upload the video or music of his concert and some sample compositions so beginners like me can learn something constructive. :)
  
  
• From: Jay (@ 209.10.124.134) on: Thu Aug 9 15:16:33 EDT 2001
  
  UV: I use cakewalk for recording..Everything else is done on the Triton. I've just started off..all I have for now is the Triton. Thats my studio :)

  Was it ur composition? Very Soothing Music. Those who don't comment harsh and critical must ignore my earlier postings...That was just an instant reaction...now I am relaxed...

  arul was that your score!...if so then you are qualified to be called as an Amature composer.
  the couters around 50 secs were very interesting.
  "entha puthula entha pambu irkumo... who knows" :) :) if i had played the melody, konjam briga and gamakam add pani...swamiji idam titu vangi irrupen... :) :) All the best.
  
  swamin, tension agathengo, that just a joke :)
  also yetho aditya solitannu harmonium kaiyuma alaiyartha kelvipatten , expecting your composition soon ;) :):)
  
  Where did Rjay and Sridhar go ?
  
  Later...

  Arul:
  
  Welcome Onboard!
  
  Based on what happened in the last few days - a genuinely good score suffered with no appreciation...I have captured these moments to come out with a composition for this fictitious moment - "Difficult Moments"...The intent is very clear...Musician trying to convey something to listeners...but they fail to understand what he is saying...So how this moment goes...This score doesn't judge anyone of us...Please give ur opinions...
  
  visit http://briefcase.yahoo.com/vijayaditya
  goto folder TFMPageDrives
  Listen to "Difficult Moments".
  
  I hope downloading or listening to this score shouldn't be a difficult moment!
  
  Don't forget to give ur comments!
  
  Regards,
  Aditya

  Hi Guys,
  
  Back from India. Just started off by listening to Arul's composition. Very well done. Conveys the mood. Keep it up! Arul.

  AdityA: can you please send me your email address?

  I have uploaded my latest composition "Persistence" at mp3.com/sridhar. Since I am not a premium service member, it might another three weeks before it shows up. Is there any other site where I can upload my song? It is about 5.31 mb.
  
  
  
  
• From: UV (@ 134.113.203.137) on: Fri Aug 10 09:48:03 EDT 2001
  
  Arul
  what about your other scores
  Can we hear them?
  Why dont you start a mp3 page?

  Folks:
  
  I am glad to introduce Srinivasa Varadarajan as an "Amateur Composer in the disguise of Good Listener hihi:-))". He sent me this score to listen, I liked it. Take a look at it...
  http://psiphi.umsl.edu/rajan/entEkamO.mp3
  Mayamalavagowla + Keeravani Mix...If IR was asked to compose such a score...I guess he would do it exactly this way!
  
  Yesterday when he asked my email address, I had some doubts on whether he's going to give some bangings! He wanted to appreciate my "Difficult Moments" score personally. I had to clarify him that I worked on this score an year back - I always wondered if the musician could really be successful in expressing a theme and composed this score - If not how the moment goes... Now I named this score as Difficult moments and published formally. Wishing that it's not a listener's difficult moment while downloading.
  
  Regards,
  Aditya
