Thanks a lot, Stanislas. Even if it's my 'very own version', playing the national anthem is.. huh..

;-) - I'm also curious about unbutu studio : is it as worth as Cubase?
- Stanislas Jourdan
Stanislas: Ubuntu Studio is a version of Ubuntu Linux dedicated to musicians and other artists
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
In place of Cubase, I mainly use Rosegarden (Midi seq., digital..), Ardour (Hard Disk Recorder). There's tons of LADSPA plugins/effects ;)
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
oh, interesting! I never felt the need of linux until now ;-) Unbutu studio could be useful for me ;-)
- Stanislas Jourdan
A must try ;) Even a regular Ubuntu is great for real-time scheduling when making music

"So a team led by Lorna Jakobsen tested 36 college students, 15 of whom had an average of 11.5 years of formal piano instruction and had passed a rigorous performance examination, while the rest had less than a year of musical training. Two tests were given. In the first, the students listened to a list of 16 words chosen from one of four different semantic categories (e.g. birds, furniture, etc.). The list was presented five times, after each of which they tried to remember as many words as possible. Next they were presented a different list of 16 words as a filler interference task. Then they were asked to try to recall the original 16 words again, and accuracy was tracked. Then everyone took the separate visual test, and after completing that (about 20 minutes later), they were again asked to remember the original 16 words again. How did they do? Here are the results:"

([Urgent] Le membre d'1 groupe Malgache, Mahaleo, a besoin d'aide!) - Madagascar - Bienvenue, Tongasoa sur Dago Radio Sound - La Radio Malgache - http://dagoradiosound.info/
"Nous nous permettons de vous solliciter pour un appel urgent pour Jean-Ba, le 8eme Mahaleo. Nous recherchons de l'aide pour procurer des médicaments à Jean-Ba, l'archiviste du groupe Mahaleo. Dans les années 70, fonctionnaire, il avait été désigné pour surveiller les faits et gestes du jeune groupe subversif Mahaleo, scruter les paroles des chansons, et consigner les concerts. Très vite, il est devenu le fan numéro 1, l'ami et la mémoire du groupe. Aujourd'hui encore, il s'occupe de leurs papiers (de leurs visas par exemple, c'est grâce à lui qu'ils viennent faire des concerts en Europe !) Jean-Ba est atteint d'une grave insuffisance rénale. Son état est stabilisé aujourd'hui grâce à un médicament : le Renagel 800mg. Mais ce médicament est introuvable à Madagascar en ce moment, et il ne peut se le procurer qu'à un prix exorbitant à La Réunion. Nous faisons donc appel à vos idées, votre soutien, ou vos réseaux, pour essayer d'en trouver en France et lui faire porter à Madagascar."

"Searching for Liebestraüm no. 3 online, I ran into the recording I uploaded long ago on Archive.org. I’m glad to see it on the first page of google results! This is a live performance, recorded at Capp Street Community Music Center in San Francisco. Mr. Sheldon was pretty frank when he discussed with me the subject matter of this piece. “Dream of Love,” rather than conveying some flowery notion of romance, is the physical sex act. You will note the climax is followed by a cadenza, and a fond recollection while you smoke a cigarette."

"The legacy of Egon Petri, who is believed by many to be one of the greatest pianists of the twentieth century, lives on in his grand-students and great-grand-students, that is, in the students of his own pupils and in the next generation of pianists. This pianistic legacy is so distinctive that it is easily recognizable in performers, and yet in the absence of description by Petri himself, the legacy has been passed on from teacher to student almost entirely by word of mouth. Is there another example of teaching in any field, which has existed, essentially unchanged, for more than a hundred years without the benefit of a text? One is reminded of Mary Renault’s historical novel, The Praise Singer, which describes her idea of the aural tradition of music teaching in ancient Greece, before notation was invented."

A song idea. I was messing around on guitar and came up with all of the parts so far for this F# jam. Tell if you like it or hate it, etc. - http://joshhaley.tumblr.com/post...
I was thinking of Vernon Reid when I got this idea. It is borderline minimalist in structure, easy riff, but want to do something with it someday. let me know what you think. :D
- Josh Haley
I like it, and I really hear the Vernon Reid in both tone and tempo.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
Yep, I'm late. Wish there were a way to prioritize this room. Nice jam!

Started playing George Shearing "Locked Hands" style block chords. I get the theory, now I need to get the muscle memory. Can anybody recommend good exercises for playing in this style?

I've been learning "Tenderly" on my chromatic harmonica. It's in Eb, and it lies very nicely on the instrument. I've been playing it on piano for quite a while. - http://www.hohnerusa.com/index...
Tools I use: SoundTrack, Logic Studio, GarageBand. Each has its purpose. I use SoundTrack to prepare my backing tracks for when I perform online. I play piano using a Yamaha P140, into a Mackie mixer, into a MOTU 828mkII, into my Mac.
I also play chromatic harmonica, melodica, and alto saxophone.
