I just realised I have no money at all to pay for the songbook until next week. I really hope there'll be copies left. =/

That means I might not have to wait much longer for mine. I thought the 3 weeks postage time might be longer than it would actually take considering I've posted packages from London to Australia and they have got there in a week. |

I can safely say this is one of the best purchases I've made in a long while. Having TGE written out for me feels like finding Shambhala or finding the closet to Narnia.

Mine arrived today! It's all very exciting and lovely. Though in my brief attempts at playing bits so far I have realised I may not be musically competant enough for this. But just following it through whilst listening to the songs is so interesting and makes you realise the complexity of the music.
Also, we should totally try and do a forum collaboration of one of the songs. Between us we must have lots of the instruments covered.
The only problem with it is the print is quite small, I know it has too be to fit it all on the page but it does make it a little more difficult to read.

Oh the forum collab thing won't work. We tried doing a Les Mouches Cover Collective, but it didn't get out of the "that's a really cool idea and we should do it" phase. We could try again though.

I know it probably wouldn't work, but I'm hopeful that with everyone having an actual score it might make it slightly more possible...maybe....

That would be awesome if we can pull it off.
And I just re-read that Les Mouches cover thread, and I want to bring it back to life. Hahaha. ^_^

I think a collective cover, remotely, would only be possible if everyone's kitted out with some kind of studio software... or at the very least a metronome... :/ My score must've arrived this morning (I've been away a couple of days). Just got back and it's way too late for me to have a proper look, but can't wait to see it in the morning!  |

I don't have any. I think a collective cover, remotely, would only be possible if everyone's kitted out with some kind of studio software... or at the very least a metronome... :/ I use audacity to record onto, which is freeware so that could always be used. And people could maybe play along with the actual record to get the timing the same...or you can use an online metronome. |

Can't really help you there. The only song I have is Carload of Whatever and it doesn't have a good bitrate. You can buy their (only) full length on The Blue House though. I've been meaning to do that for a year or two, but I've alway had more important things to buy.

I play clarinet, which is a nice niche to hold, + two mics + a tascam + audacity. We CLEARLY have an oboist. Any horn players? Shit, this deserves it's own thread.

Back on topic... I've still not had time to listen to "Heartland" while following the score, but have just been having a bit of a read.
I'm fascinated by the attention to detail with quarter-tones to control the speed of vibrato and glissandi when needed - or conversely instructions which are intentionally aleatoric to allow more chaos. Reminds me of Ligeti's micropolyphony... like, even with the very controlled elements you probably wouldn't get *exactly* what is written, but it creates clouds and clusters <3. I'm a big fan of that, along with rhythmic phasing, like in "The Great Elsewhere"... ah, I love this album.
I might take my score to the Koko gig on the offchance Owen would sign it, but then it risks getting trashed in transit... hrm
