Hi, you guys may know me and I might know most of you already, but I finally got a spare moment to check out this board. Looks like an interesting crowd and I like the focus on experimental.

I've been sharing my music online since the late 80's; was part of the eMusic-L, early MP3.COM adopter and abandoner. Rolling Eyes

I run Csound, mainly Yamaha synths (EX5, FS1R). Been recently trying to learn a little PD.

I write contemporary classical music and experimental electronic music... Check out my tuneage if you're curious... I'll be checking out some of you guys music this morning. I also run a contemporary classical portal and a blog. (See below).

Favorite trax of mine, are Espace, Eroica Spettrale, Lachrimae Crystallinum, Turning the Pearl, I and II...

Mr. Green

I am surfing those links of yours now. BTW: Do you know Robert Hagström? At http://www.amo.se/robert/ I have been trying to get him here, but obviously his music suits the profile of your modern whatnot music site best I guess.

A blog is a weblog.
Like an on-line journal.
If you type "blog" into google you will see lots of info.

Re:blog
thanks for the explanation of this neologism Very Happy

neologism

A neologism (pronounced nee-AH-low-djism) is a newly invented word or term. Neologisms would seem to occur at a greater rate in cultures with rapidly changing technologies and with greater means for information dispersal.

A neology is, according to our Webster's, the use of a new word or the use of an existing word but given a new meaning. A second meaning given by Webster's for neologism is that of "a meaningless word coined by a psychotic."

AN EVENING WITH MR. JEFF HARRINGTON:
like in front of an open jar of cookies it is hard to stop eating them, so I could not stop downloading Jeff's music that is uniformly excellent (I prefer his electronic music to the "classical" one).
I dare awarding it with my personal IEM prize Very Happy

P.S.
IEM stands for Intelligent Electronic Music Exclamation

We have our own new award thingie? And noone told me? Carlo, I kinda agree but i did really enjoy some of the "classical" ensemble music too. But i do not quite agree on the performances. The scores read better than the playing.

Wow, that was quite the welcome! Mr. Green

My classical music, although it does get performed pretty frequently, doesn't often get recorded, unfortunately and the recordings I have are sometimes not available to be shared over the web. Artificial recordings of my pieces are always unsatisfactory, unfortunately. Erg, Mercurealities, and New Zion Pastorale are all good recordings (especially the first two which are great real performances). Erg was just recorded by the german guitar and mandolin group, Duo Ahlert and Schwab for their new CD! They gave me a concert recording for my website. The realization of Gygr (which was premiered a few years ago in Amsterdam) and Gnomos are pretty good and BlueStrider has a pretty good realization by Steve Layton.

Seraph, I've known Richard for a long time via the Csound list. He's quite a nice guy! You studied with him, that would be cool... He put my Acid Bach suite and some of my Csound orchestras into his Csound book which was a very cool thing for me! Wink

I've listened to a few of your pieces, seraph and they all seem to work really well on many levels. You are an IEM master yourself! Shocked

elektro80, I don't recognize that name, but I'll try and check him out today after I check out your tuneage... Wink

I am still downloading the classical ensemble music. I found more stuff I had overlooked. Some very solid stuff! I am trying to get some more of those sheet music PDF´s.

Hello Jeff,

What a coincidence. I just quoted you a few days ago in the "what is experimental" thread.
Hope I see you around here often.
Seraph and Electro80 certainly are, but you know that by now.
Two more guys that make me laugh and get me thinking. Just like you
and Howard Moscovitz (this site's creator, editor-in chief).
By now you can tell the folks here are most receptive.
Don't be a stranger ok?

I'm still lurking in your blog from time to time and it's rewarding.

I've said before and I'll say it again, your "Eroica Spettrale" is marvelous! Glad I downloaded it off mp3.con before it disappeared.

Now back to Electro80 and Seraph....

(back to lurk mode for me)

Hello, Jeff, and welcome. Thanks for joining us.

I haven't yet had the chance to check out your links, but I will soon.
