Owen Pallet's Heartland: Orchestral Songbook

[Buck]

I wasn't complaining, it makes me feel special. But at the same time I would like those last pages, and their kindly customer service people say they're working on it.

Also has anyone else noticed that at least for "E is for Estranged" a lot of the flat-symbols are backward? Is this another glitch or is Owen being progressive?

Errors included, I'm very glad to have my scorebook and think it's really awesome.

They're quarter-tones - pitches half-way between the semitones of the western, twelve-tone chromatic scale. It's how he gets those weird, swarm-like clouds of sound.

Hard to play on my piano, though.

True, though some of the pianos in the practice rooms at my uni definitely had ...interesting... tuning, hehe.

Although I can afford it, considering the shipping fees, I am quite reluctant to buy a book, which will surely end on a shelf, unused.
However, if one or two people living in France (Clara?) are interested with any goods from the store, it might be interested to group our commands and share shipping fees.

Oooops I just saw your post :/. I'm sorry I didn't respond, I didn't check this thread regularly because I thought I wouldn't be able to get it and it made me sad.
My mom bought me the scorebook for Persian New Year () and I got it today! I'm so happy because the e-mail said to expect it in 2 weeks and it only took a week to get here.
It's pretttyyyyyy. I can't wait to play while reading it .

Has this definately sold out now? Does anyone have a spare copy they would sell to me? I don't mind misprints aslong as the music is correct. Thanks

If the website says so, I think it is, yes. I know that dot, one of the forum members here, saw a copy in a store in Toronto, but yeah, that's it. I didn't get a chance to buy it either and it is kind of a bummer, but meh.

At the Philly show a couple months ago Patrick said it was sold out

After months of hesitation I've finally bought one. Right in time obviously, since I got mine couple of weeks ago.

Do you know how long ago this was? Anybody fancy buying it for me? I'd give you the money, obviously.

Is this the sort of thing Owen might post online eventually? ...because he's so nice. Or is it meant to be an exclusive?

[Scarychips]

Not so long ago! She posted about it not even 4 days ago. she can't buy it for you, because she was there on a trip, but yeah. And I think it was meant to be an exclusive. Sorry! =/

my friend is going to Toronto for a year as part of a college exchange next month. I'll ask her to see if she can get it for me. Do you know the name of the shop? (Sorry I keep going on...)
