What are you doing?

[Solitary Wanderer]

Thanks for the image Mark. Nice to see all the Dvorak's side by side.

This afternoon I'm going through two piles of stuff. You know, stuff that I receive in the mail and put into a pile to do 'something with'. Months and months later I go through and throw most of it away 

The rest gets filed in my filing draw...to be thrown away at a later date

Recuperating from the flu.  One of those bouts during which every part of my body ached with excruciating pain--sort of like listening to Wagner Schumann during a root canal.    Three days off work is the most time I've had in nearly a year--rough way to get it, however, and it'll be hell catching up when I go back to the shop.

In what kind of business do you work, if you don't mind my asking?

Reading this thread.

Very amusing

Fo'-GET cho' face!


I'm hoping to hook up with a professional drummer so that I can finish work on my compositions. Some of my music is impossible to complete without a human drummer. I have at least three cds worth of material, with no resources toward recording any of it properly. Oh well, they're mostly junk anyhoo.

Sigh...hobbies, right?

Right! There's nothing I'd love better than to have time to make my little recordings.

For me, it's the editing/mixing that takes a humongous amount of patience.

I think it's all fun. I'm totally into home-recording.

Wish I could say the same! My hats off to you!

Pharmaceuticals.

I file sharp edges off bottle-caps.

Somebody's got-ta do it!

[karlhenning]

It is a humble task, but I am glad to be making a positive difference.

[маразм1]

waiting for the project manager to review my work.  and she is surely taking her time on that.  and i'm here!

Pharmaceuticals.

No wonder you're holding your head in despair.

This seems in tune with Sibelius clutching his head and wearing an expression that says, "Damn this headache!"

Playing Hellgate: London. At least, I was until 30 minutes ago. It is a bit weak at the moment, but has potential for expansion. A very important scientific observation: after much testing, the composers who best fit it during play are Sibelius (tone poems, syms.4, 6 & 7) and Feldman (Rothko Chapel, cello concerto).* Interestingly, RVW's "London" symphony does not evoke the desired effect - perhaps as it was not written with Big Ben on fire in mind. An important finding, I know...

*I always automatically disable game music - it's invariably awful.

Trying to summon the energy to go to sleep............yeah, I'm that tired right now.....

At the moment? Gloating:

Did I not predict it? Hellgate had that look of "this-will-be-good-but-not-great" from quite a distance, if you ask me.

Incidentally, and even though I play with game music on and off depending on my mood (on more often than off), I've found that Tchaikovsky and Mahler appear to go well with WoW, while Bruckner and Sibelius do not. Though perhaps I need to conduct more observation, to assert that claim.
