Awesome! Bet you aced it all too. Here’s to many more such days. Find memories of those Gatwick sleeping of pods. Or maybe you get something fancier 😂

📣 new paper 📣
Parallel or variant?

🇩🇪 🇦🇹🇨🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇸

As an Englishman teaching in Germany I was amazed at just how different the German– and English– speaking music theory lexicons (still) are in our ostensibly globalised age.

Thanks all!

Bravo on the important paper @tuomaseerola.bsky.social and team!

@michelle-phillips.bsky.social , hello from a TISMIR rep (current EB, incoming EiC) in listening mode! Let’s share notes sometime!

Some shared issues, some differences. Lots of open code/data at least.

And singing along is frowned upon for some reason! Even in the good bits!

Sounds cool!

If composed out echo effects are in scope I have a couple of attack-sustain examples in my orchestration chapters for Open Music Theory.

Britten, Sibelius, Debussy if I remember right. If that’s of interest I’ll dig up the URL for you.

In addition, key to transparency is effective attribution and that’s vv difficult to achieve.

Eg a mash up = many samples = countless contributors, poorly documented in metadata.

We’ve seen cases before where well-intentioned policy ends up adversely affecting only the well-intentioned.

Mark Gotham @markgotham.bsky.social · Nov 25

Doubly good of you to come to my department seminar in that case! Thanks!

… do I owe you some email triage now?

🚨 Unimportant Terminology Question no.265326 🚨

Membership on here is soaring!

Great time to shore up the terminology. (Or not!)

If on bird 🐦 themed platforms posts were called “tweets” 🐥, does what are they here 🦋?

… “bolts ⚡️from the blue”?

Wholesome and laudable! Keep it up!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I’ve had one in the “book inbox“ waiting patiently behind too many others for too long.

It’s time!

And maybe time too for a KCL book club (only fiction allowed)

+1. I was intrigued to hear how the dynamic between @ednewtonrex.bsky.social as keynote and certain companies in the room would play out. Didn’t disappoint.

Thanks! So shall we keep the league tables but insist on plotting them with error bars? Or is that just an undifferentiated smudge of overlaps?

Welcome!

I think the first record I ever owned was one of yours!

Now to think 💭 of any conductor jokes that’s suitable for writing down in public …

… Flaubert would probably not think much of east anglia … not a lot of hills here either and certainly not a lot to boast about in the Neufchâtel cheese department 🧀

Also doubly on-brand for you as a cellist … going “higher up” the fingerboard …

Mark Gotham @markgotham.bsky.social · Oct 30

😂.

Also comes with a “how’s your PhD going” vibe?

Found any ancient cities complete with incongruous manuscripts yet?
