The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Listening to Wintersun and pondering life and shit. Shot an application vidya for the TV show Mantracker a few nights ago with a friend of mine, and was gonna take my hand at editing it tonight, but it's in some weird fucking file format so I handed it off to her to do instead. Fuck it. Lol.

It is 1930's style 12 tone and atonal classical music applied to a power trio (overdriven electric guitar, electric bass, drum set). The style of music throws all conventional classical practices out of the window. Symmetrical scales, tone rows, lack of a key signature, complex time signatures that will often differ every measure, etc. is what it consists of. We have some live videos on the Facebook link in my signature. The recording isn't the best, guitar is too quiet in the mix. We recorded in the studio a few weeks ago and are still waiting on the mastered version. We'll be giving out free cds and download links after we get the mastered copy and get the music copyrighted.

edit: Movements 3 and 4 are less audible than the other ones due to the nearly constant spastic drumming so I would recommend that you listen to them first. Movement 5 takes a different direction than all of the others because the music is based on triads. Essentially, it's a bit more tonal sounding that the others.

Well I'm very intrigued, seeing as I'm both a huge classical fan (primarily late-romantic and what would be called "modern", but is more like early 20th century), and a serious musician.

I listened to a couple of the movements, my internet is crap right now so I had a tough time, and I like the last one a lot. I can probably get a better grasp when your recording comes out, be sure to PM me when it does. I think it's a really cool idea, and something that should be explored more. Are you a music student?

I will be starting this fall semester. I had to take a year off from school after graduating high school so that I could save up money for a car. I'm planning on getting my Master's in Composition and Theory, I want to become a college professor/composer/music theorist.

What are you working on and towards in your schooling?
 
Nice! Do you mind me asking where you'll be going?

I just finished high school, and I'll be studying music in the fall at a conservatory in Ohio. Primarily my studies will be in jazz (guitar), but I'll focus on classical guitar, voice(both solo and choral), piano, composing, educating...whatever I can get my hands on. I have also played around with the idea of becoming a teacher (college preferably) and using my spare time to pursue other musical ventures, but who knows, that's a long ways away. I think my main goals are to work in film composing, which I already have an "in" with (my dad's in the business), and being a general studio/performing artist.

That all sounds pretty cool. By film composing, do you mean composing the musical scores?

I'll be going to a local community college because of by under-achieverness in high school. It's a good school though, better than most community colleges. I'm familiar with the music professor there and am looking forward to working with him. After the first 2 years, I'll be transferring somewhere else. Possibly St. Mary's or University of Maryland.
 
I have to finish writing a report by tonight.. and I was sitting in the library doing that when this super hot chick with almost no pants (tiny skirt) and lovely long legs comes and sits right in front of my table and she keeps smiling and playing with her hair. I cannot concentrate! Fuck this shit.
