Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Composer's Lounge Proposal: Composer's Lounge CD Project

Ah, OK. I have the technology to do that. But thanks anyway!

I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this one because of the copyright issue. My contract with my performing rights society doesn't allow me to use a Creative Commons license or in any other way let my music be performed for free. All performances and royalties and licenses involved has to go through them.

Tad,

This is a great idea and thank you for organizing it!

I will sumbit a composition as well.. I have only one song scored, so that is what I will submit (which just happens to be my first and favorite..).

I will record using my Zoom H2 recorder.. but will need some help getting this to upload to my computer. If anyone is familiar with this recorder, please let me know. I can always record a demo of this at my local studio.

With all of the talent on this forum, I am very much looking forward to seeing what the end result will be!

If you do a search ("zoom H2" would probably do it) on the adult beginners' forum I'm sure you'll find the help you need. If not, I have a zoom H2 and can upload, so I might be able to give you some help (my computer geek son will fall about laughing at the mere thought of me offering anyone computer advice...). Try the AB forum first .

I am interested.
War and Peace tickles my fancy, as does Water.
I usually produce only midi playback because I don't have acceptable piano recording equipment or venue.

I can try to record but it'll probably have humming noise and singing budgies lol.
I can correct the budgie issue by moving them far away but I'll probably have more trouble trying to eliminate the annoying hum in my recordings.

I started my piece this morning. Unfortunately, it's going to be easier to write than it is to play.

I personally dont see a need to create a specific CD. Why CD? If you like one piece, you dont want download whole CD, do you? And everybody can compile own CD by himself if he wants anyway. If you want compose to special themes, its better to make separated threads with themes and those who are interested, can compose to the themes.
I like nature themes (e.g. "Rain" or "Snow" piano pieces I posted on this forum already).

I actually agree with you on this. It would be a bit like the Adult Beginner recitals, with pieces organised according to the themes, into threads. No trouble about deciding what's IN and what's OUT, either

Hi everyone!

Very sorry I disappeared! Good to see people already starting working on this project! Promise I will PM Frank by Thursday. Things are just a little crazy over here!

Pukino (and, earlier, Diane) is right, with the day and age of electronic media we are no longer restricted by a "CD" idea. I am also for creating a general "compilation" project. Contrasting with an idea of an "indefinite" showcase, however, what is nice about a "compilation" project is that it specifies a theme and a deadline, thus encouraging waves of centrally themed participations.

All best,

Tar

Hi again everyone,

Have just PMed Frank, fingers crossed. I'm now message you to help finalise our favourite theme, please reply when you have a moment!

Tar

And hello again!! :P

Discovered that I can't PM more than five people at the same time, so I propose Plan B...

I'll pick a theme from the two proposed out of a whim. If you feel strongly against Aspects of Nature or Places of the World as our theme please PM me.

As soon as I finish discussing this with Frank I'll let you know properly. We hopefully are going to get a subforum dedicated to this.

Happy composing
