  1. Taking an extended break from composition. See you again soon!

  2. What training do you have as a composer Did you receive training under a secondary/tertiary teacher? A music degree specialising in composition perhaps?
  3. Read my dissertation: Unifying Elements in the Tomb Raider Trilogy game soundtracks. https://up-za.academia.edu/PieterSmal

      I've had so much to do this semester - including my first serial composition :)

  6. Largo for String Orchestra - check it out!

  7. Mu-SIEK-lik is jou eie kollegas, ja.

  8. B.Mus. VI - Composition, Theory and History

  9. I am working on an orchestral piece. Two bassoons are playing. On one staff, do I have to write the bassoons as separate voices or can I write them as one voice (like piano writing for an octave).
  10. “Hulle toer die land vol met net drie harmonieë.” - Hubert du Plessis oor amateur musikante. "They tour around the country with only three harmonies" - Hubert du Plessis about amateur musicians.

  11. Have anyone heard of Cinematic Orchestration? http://www.thinkspaceonline.com/co/index.asp I am doing Composition as a subject in B.Mus., but I want to learn more about orchestration specifically. What do you think about this course? Judging my recent compositions I have grown a LOT in composition at university. But I don't think I am skilled enough in orchestration - I rather doubt my orchestration skills.
  12. Formal trainnig (B. Mus.) is improving my musicianship and compositional skills exceedingly!
  13. B. Mus. III

      Along with slight serialism. Heh. How are you doing?

      made some progress too. I like to use some serial techniques within a (extended) tonal context. Recently finished a set piano preludes. Currently working on a sinfonietta (posted two movements on YC), and a cello concerto.
