Crazy things in composition???

No, it's not very original at all... Stockhausen did this, well, a LOT. So did Cage.. there's nothing original about this style of writing.

Crazy ≠ Original

No, it's not very original or crazy at all... Stockhausen did this, well, a LOT. So did Cage and many other 20th Century composers.. there's nothing original or crazy about this style of writing.

Fixed.

This whole thread is silly.

Since you say so, Antiatonality it must be then...

[sarcasm]I'm glad we're on the same page :P[/sarcasm]

Whatever... perhaps you might want to reread the OP. In any case, I wonder why you waste time with things you consider silly.

One of the craziest things in composition I've done is that I haven't composed any serious atonal work yet. :toothygrin:

I once wrote a choir piece in Fbb. Turned out pretty crappy, but I still like the idea.

I got an assignment in an early music theory class to write a solo melody line using only eighth notes. I was somewhat annoyed because the assignment was way too easy and I wanted more of a challenge so I wrote it in Ab harmonic minor with tons of ties and accidentals. My teacher glanced at it and gave me an A because he didn

Neither do I but I 'm planning something ;)

In a world where people have written quartets for 4 helicopters,

someone wrote a quartet for helicopters or someone wrote a quartet for strings in helicopters? i googled it and only the strings in helicopters came up.

if there really is a quartet for helicopters, that is f***ing awesome, and who wrote it?

Karlheinz Stockhausen did that he was trying to simulate the helicopters sound with a string quartet.

Google his name also there are some videos on YouTube;)

Why not?:dunno:

^ He likes accidentals.

Helicopters are uninteresting. I am planning a quintet for F-15, F-16, F-18, F-117 and UFO. :P

The UFO should add some nice contrasting overtones in relation to the low pitches of the other "instruments" that will be used. Can

I need to hear that if you ever get around to it. I like airplanes more than helicopters to be honest.

Fbb? Come on. There's no reason anyone should ever choose to write a piece in even Fb unless you modulate to it, and even then I might just go to E. Fbb is just being silly.

Man, good thing you warned me. I was about to write a symphony in C#####

Nah, Stockhausen's helicopter quartet is what Tom_Lynch said: Strings in helicopters. Actually, he wanted it to be played in a space shuttle, but NASA rejected it, so he settled for helicopters.

Exactly the point, I wasn

I've thought about writing a piece called 'Death in Space'... about 19 seconds of silence, then the lights in the auditorium go out. The end.

Only if you pressurize the auditorium, then depressurize it rapidly at the end.

Let's get some violence.

I only thought as far into it as controlling the temperature of the auditorium, not the pressurization, before I abandoned the idea.

Why not just drop the bomb and call it music?

Now THAT would be crazy.
