Looking for a place to chat? Join us at #composers on FurNet!
Hi everyone !
Back after a hiatus. Answered pending notes and added new composers to the list !
Welcome to
TheZeshOne and 
Chrispy-Audioshi, respectively in the Electro Composers Section and Game and Movie Composers Section.
Feel free to check their work !
From now on I'll have everyone I add announced here !
I'm also glad to welcome
tonyasong in the team. For those who don't know her, Tonya is a professional choir director, composer and performer -she plays too many instruments to list XD. She is going to help maintaining the group ; with our joined forces, we're gonna make a serie of tips and learning ressources for composers.
For those who remember, she's the one who wrote a testimony of her days in the Hollywood industry. I've shared her thoughts back then on a journal here
I HIGHLY invite you to check her work, especially if you like classical music !
I'm also glad to announce some Eurofurence events !
This year, there will be a couple of panels related to music, and 3 specially inclined toward composers and music makers.
I'd like to point out
-
covahr panel about the creation of the melody. I don't think I'll make a breakthrough statement saying the melody is part of the holy trinity of music (melody, rythm, harmony), and is maybe the most important of all three. It's what make music really different one from another.
is going to analyze some musical themes from famous composers from the movie and game industry, and explain why those melodies simply work and how they impact the emotions.
More informations on the panel on the EuroFurence official panel description THE EMOTIONAL HOOKLINE
PREREQUISITES : Basic note reading. Nothing more.

gmorkh is going to give Reaper some exposition !
Reaper is simply one of the best quality/price DAW out there. A powerful tool for a very reasonnable price (basically free if you make no profit off your music), and it comes with nice effects that match up to bigger companies bundled with the software.
is going to speak about the very basics of MIDI compositions (use of DAW, MIDI, VST and common effects, and maybe automation). The idea is you can replicate the same kind of music without spending a penny, directly out of the panel !
An example of Gmorkh's music can be found at http://goatzill4.bandcamp.com/
Gmorkh is also going to announce and release "ENTER THE KOSMOS", his new album, at EF22
More informations on the panel on the EuroFurence official panel description REAPER : WRITE/RECORD MUSIC NOW
PREREQUISITES : None.
- Finally,
karuno (myself) panel about MIDI orchestration and how to achieve a realistic orchestral mockup.
Those who attended last year can expect the same format. I'll deconstruct a track of mine, The Hatching of the Phoenix, to explain how it is built, and how to make everything coming together. We'll also discuss instrument symbolism, harmonies and ambiance creation and lastly, how to put this into computerized datas with the feel of a real orchestra performance.

PREREQUISITES : Basics DAW knowledge.
That's all from now, folks !
Can't wait to meet some of you at Eurofurence !

And thanks so much, it's an honour.
MIDI orchestration is something big I've got ahead of me to learn,
and it's neat that you'll be lecturing on that at a convention.
Very cool!
Vast subject that it is, indeed. MIDI orchestration kept me busy for years, but I think I'm starting to see the end of it. All I need to do is to learn actual orchestration to go along !
Which is a lifetime quest. TwT
Welcome to the group ! :D

Will do =3
