friend who put out the anti-intellectual premise that my studies in college were going to ruin my music. Reminds me of a couple punk rock guitarists I once knew, who avoided learning theory b/c they were afraid it would destroy their creativity. I said, "why don't you rip the frets out of the guita...

the only tip i have is throw out the theory book, i know theory in the sense of notes, timing, rhythm, etc. but as far as chord structure/movement and stuff like that circle of fifths it just never jived with me. i failed theory in college, got an F. my brain doesn't work that way, it's like music ...

I pretty much abandoned song forms and chord progressions a long time ago, but when I used to write rock songs I liked locrian mode a lot, and using a minor7 flat5 flat9 as the i chord, along with the various 7th chords that fit the scale. There are some nice scales that are modes of harmonic and me...

Jupiter intermediate alto sax on craigslist, JAS-769GN, made in Taiwan in 2006, in great shape, with case, strap, mouthpiece and extra reeds, for $20. Insane. The Yamaha 4C mouthpiece it came with is worth more than that. I'm not sure yet if I like it better than my Yamaha-made Vito, but it plays we...

ubertar are you the creator of said device?

It didn't occur to me until you asked that that I should've made that clear... I'm sorry if it appeared otherwise. I just figured it would be assumed, but it's not good to assume.

If you tighten that up and develop it into a piece I'll add a link from the site if you want. Ah wasn’t my intention to suggest that was anything more than a recording of me within the first moments of trying it out. I’ll let you know if I end up using it on a film cue but that recording will certa...

Yes.

I like it. Were you listening to Hamza el Din earlier in the day?

Hoy crap, it's Jonathan "wing"... how'ya been, buddy? Head over to creot, poke your head in and say hello...

I've read Forces in Motion. I own a copy. I'm a big fan of Braxton's music, and I met him when he was a visiting artist when I was in grad school. He's close friends with one of my professors at the time. But, yeah, the shtick thing... there's an audio recording of one of Sun Ra's lectures from when...
