[Fmpro] HMS Les ( a humerous diversion )

[Chris Alpiar]

Haha touche and well put. However it is not my want but the change in the
world that is taking place. I would do ANYthing to have a working
environment where I can work with a full orchestra, or even smaller
orchestra daily. But while my talent knows no end hehe (please visit some
samples of my writing at www.alpiar.com/demos.aspx ) I have not yet been
discovered on a large enough scale to warrant more then a few live
instruments here and there. Tho it is my goal and I use the computer in my
mind only as a tool to help me actualize my ideas in private. I expect that
all of my music will be played by living breathing musicians of hopeful
quality at some point. And I still write with score paper, pencils and piano
just use the technology to give a listen and to maybe find some work in
lower budget projects while I establish myself

Chris:

Being one of the same generation as Sir Les, ( and who was also brought 
up on years of trogloditic recording sessions using actual HUMANS ) We 
sometimes wonder aboot you younger folks who willingly and tediously 
employ phalanxes of  of legato, marcato, staccato, detache, tremolo 
,etc string samples to accomplish what one HUMAN string section ( 
slave, pygmy, or otherwise ) can accomplish by itself in a much shorter 
time period that is required to program all that stuff.

Besides, by sitting in your Dr Funkensteins electronic cavern to create 
your music, you've been shortchanged of the camaraderie of the live 
session, where on break, the brass and wind guys would generally head 
for the nearby pub ..and the string players would generally sit in 
their chairs ,frugally eating their brown bag sandwiches !   :)

Whilst being amazed at some of the elaborate electronic creations you 
youngsters manage to come up with, I can't help feeling sorry for all 
the human interactions , humourous ripostes, and other joys of actual 
live recording you've missed in the process.

Oh yeah ..the "old way" got the music out the door a hellava lot FASTER 
..and in most cases, with a much more human feel ( slave and/or pygmy 
considerations aside )  :)

Finally, I'm with Sir Les: ..I wouldn't touch a PC either!!

BTW:  Since Don Imus got the axe, I'd be careful about that "Talley ho" 
stuff ..to keep the PC police from visiting
your studio!    :)
