msaramago: The red "notes" are actually chords - can you read these? I'd need you to do it like Dannyboy did to the other song. leumas: Cello parts would be totally welcome! I, myself, tried to learn the cello a year ago. Next piece I post here, I'll post a cello part for sure. As for adding to your piece, I think people will want to help. At least I will.  I'm listening to your Myspace! Pretty cool!!!! Just out of curiosity, from what country are you? This is a cello piece I composed this week for a friend cellist here in Brazil. It'd be awesome if you could take a look at it, love it and play it in every recital you give.  ahaha Attachments:

blandine I Live in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada I printed off your piece, it looks very interesting, and I'll give it a try. I like your notes on how to play each section I'm working on 4 song demo to send out to college radio stations and it is taking up lots of time, but once that's finished I'll put up a track for others to add to.

leumas: As soon as you have something from my piece, please record it and send it my way. It doesn't need to be the whole thing, I'd love to hear any bit of it. @margarida: I don't think you need to worry about speed given the way things have been going on the forum. It looks like we're the only ones left talking! I think everybody's busy with Christmas.

erm, so... in my free time (which is the last 5 mins), i went crazy and decided to go ahead and pick some of owen's dead lyrics and revive them with some of my own, to make something out of them. i don't know if they're any good (probably the metrics are all wrong and there's no way in hell you can make a song out of them), but i thought i could take a shot at it. so here it is: my first half-lyrics!
The river is a talker and the woods are alive,
We hear the nymphs in the forest
And then in the biggest river we take a dive
We are explorers
We've seen and done horrors.
Our hero is hardened
And steeped in the salt of the earth
A hist'ry of prophetry's a story of low birth
But the nymphs are a decoy!
Just a pretext to destroy us!
Arrow in the side, what's a boy to do?
Hear the hero's anguished cry
What. Is a boy. To. Do?
i don't have a title for it yet, but go ahead and criticise ;D

Still at 'mmhmmm' phase, but I totally intend to setting it. By the way - what does Owen mean with all this 'arrow in the side' business? Is it referring literally to being struck by an arrow?

I can keep a tune with my voice, I'm a good whistler, I've got a mandolin and a guitar. Let me know if I can be of any use! By the way - what does Owen mean with all this 'arrow in the side' business? Is it referring literally to being struck by an arrow? Like that time Russell Lissack got bitten by a lion? (that really happened)  |

Can I contribute an OLD poem I wrote about 5 years ago?
Trading some time for a turn
In the forest of torrid robotics
After convincing myself that there's no risk committing
A crime in a way which no one can detect
My shortcomings are shaded the window blinds
Hiding a good mind/bad body all too little too late
Self-help and know how thereby allow me the chance
A chance to experience the sleep of the shark while he waits in the shallow
A dish of disaster spills over and past hurt
In turn collapses with half moon nostalgia
And then gives the finger to all the cement
Holding soap dishes as to not let them slip into air oblivion

Hello to everybody! Thanks for posting, for the help offer and the poem. I was actually disappointed by people's hesitation to record and produce stuff here (I was actually told that would happen) so I turned my attention to other things. Actually, I haven't been in the forum for some time - I successfully completed my last Owen cycle and now I am in output phase and abstinent from listening to music. I actually got a pretty cool freelance job doing arrangements and sequencing for TV, plus I'm going to Los Angeles next week to do a film scoring course!
All that to say that as much as I am tempted by the material and possibilities you guys have left here, I don't know if I should really take my time and compose for the inexistant ensemble. On saying this I think I am being a bit unfair, because there were people who offered their playing and didn't have a chance to do anything.
So, if you guys think something could be done about it, please do commission me and I will set both drtchocky's and Margarida's poems.
