Crudblud's Craptacular C(r)ompositions

[Crudblud]

And, of course, I enjoyed the misdirective provenance.

It's that little bit of Borges I retained from reading his Universal History of Infamy; there's nothing quite like a good and harmless hoax!

Hmmm - that's one Borges volume I don't know. Is Ohlsdorfer actually from one of his stories?

In any case I thought it was a neat idea to invent a detective movie that was never produced and write music for it... just as JLB wrote stories based on books that never existed.

Now to go dust off my copy of Silas Haslam's A General History of Labyrinths...

Ah no, really more of a spiritual inspiration than anything. Ohlsdorfer is just a name I found aesthetically pleasing/amusing for a noir detective character.

The rare update without a new piece, yet with more news than simply that I've not disappeared off the face of the earth. I am intending to present an all new (and perfectly unplayable!) "arrangement" of the inner movements of Mahler's 10th Symphony some time within the next week. The prospective title is, rather perfunctorily, Trilogy After Gustav Mahler.

It's somewhat a revisit of an older project from 2016, which just dealt with the first scherzo. Earlier this year I thought "I can do better", and let me tell you, I've made that mistake many many times! This may or may not be one of those times. I'm currently tinkering with details that I'm sure no one else will ever notice, but maybe...

Good to "see" you!

As promised, slightly later than anticipated, here it be. Enjoy, or don't—the choice is yours!

Nicely executed!

Now revisiting this:

The curious synchronicity being that the title of a tone-poem I am nearly writing is For You, Fuchsia.

[Rons_talking]

Wow! I really like this...

[Crudblud]

Wow! I really like this...

Thank you, Ron.

I've been meaning to spend some time catching up with your prolific output, by the way.

I look forward to nearly hearing it!

I look forward to nearly hearing it!

I've found a strategy for its execution.

It was a pleasure to interrupt my Hot Rats Sessions immersion for this. Nice work, Dan!

[Karl Henning]

Should there be a clarinet?

[Crudblud]

Some more ludicrousness for you and yours.

Repeating myself, but:  Sweetly lyrical. Nice!

Dan, can you generate a score for this for me?

Many thanks, and yes I did see your comment on the video! To be praised twice is not unwelcome however.

Making a score would be difficult for me since I can't read music, and any automated process I might rely on is sure to make a complete mess of it. I can however send you a MIDI file which might possibly serve as a self assembly kit when referenced in combination with the audio. Let me know!

Do, and I'll see what may happen on this end!

I enjoyed 'It's Really More of a Fuchsia' and the Duets nos. 2 and 5, very much, @Crudblud. A distinctive sound world and harmonies in each of them which I found very appealing.  : )
