Generally, instrumental music... arranging for marching bands help pay the bills. Choral works, percussion ensembles, orchestral pieces, solos and duets - completed a duet for two marimbas and random percussion earlier this year. If there is music involved, it's of interest - have even done some tech-hop work over the years.

Cool. I go between writing a lot for orchestra and a lot for smaller ensembles: at the moment I'm in an orchestral phase; working on a violin concerto and an opera. I am working on one smaller piece, though, for violins (and possibly other strings) and percussion. (Percussion is awesome; you can get so many different sounds with it.)

Do you ever write any electroacoustic music?


I compose too! :D Voice and piano, and several part acapella voice. :P Generally I'm not particularly rigid on style though, I write whatever feels right.


Piano is one of the weak points in my composing; I don't write for it as easily as I write for other instruments. I'm ok if I sit down at the piano and work, though.

I've been tentatively exploring it; I tend to go exclusively one direction or the other. Did an arrangement of Till Eulenspiegel's Lustige Streiche this past year for marching band; writing an original show and percussion show right now. Next will be a series of vocal works until next season begins again. I love large scale choral writing, but as a percussionist by trade and a bass by range - I'm not nice to the sopranos and those who can't count.


M.


I had a fair bit of electroacoustic stuff on my old computer, but it got lost when the computer died. I like the freedom it gives you to work with any sounds that you can create.

People who can't count have trouble with my music. (Actually, that was one of the big complaints that my teacher made about my music: that it was difficult (well, yeah, I wrote it for musicians who could actually play/sing well). Whenever I wrote choral music, I'd get the comment "Rachel, not everyone has perfect pitch." Surely they can sing by interval, though?)

A woman who is honest and un-manipulative. Who I can have deep conversations with about any topic. Who looks at the big picture instead of shallow interests, a common feature among pretty much every woman I know (OMG! I WANNA BE A HAIR DRESSER! OR YOGA INSTRUCTOR!! BLAH BLAH BLAH). I don't really know exactly what I want but I do know I just want a normal, intelligent human being with a vagina and a nice set of tits. Is that so much to ask?

Ok, Lili, your plight has moved me to test myself against your criteria . . . that, and I don't want you to end up with only your cats. I've owned cats and I know how they can be. You gotta watch 'em. Here we go . . .

1.) "Open-minded"

I'd like to think so. I've been called "empty-headed" though. Is that close enough? It almost seems like the same thing.

2.) "Likes to travel"

Rule 12; NEVER travel to meet a woman. Once I'm with her though, it's cool. As long as we travel by train--I have intense phobias regarding any other sort of vehicle. Just kidding. I can't handle trains either.

3.) "Active"

I am thinking this is the opposite of passive. Maybe no so much though. Is tall and skinny what you mean? I am lost on this one, honestly.

4.) "attractive. . . weird taste."

I was SO glad to see you qualified this the way you did. *whew*

5.) "Nice"

Ohhh I am too nice. Waaaay too nice. It's like the plague how nice I am. I'm trying to get over it though. Don't they have meds for that nowadays?

6.) "Smart"

See the previous attempt to match myself up to a list. I think the same answer applies here.

7.) "Respectful"

See that "nice" answer above. I'm waiting for the appropriate meds. Until then, we're there.

8.) "Faithful"

Done. I'm an aspie.

9.) "Honest"

Mostly done/I'm an aspie. I have learned, however, to not say; "No that garment/dress/piece of apparel looks like crap on you--please find something else." At least not every time.

10.) "non-religious"

Done.

11.) "Not conservative"

Done. Apolitical.

I'm not sure how well I measured up here. Probably not too good. It's ok--these are hit-and-miss (or usually miss-and-miss) things, so no expectations. I'm just trying to save you from your cats. They can be mean when you're not looking.

W_A_I: Totally understand; my choral works make the vocalists cringe. Very trans-tonal, incredibly rhythmic... most of what I write is, although the pop-veined pieces do tend to be at least accessible. The eight-part setting of a Kyrie that I wrote (went to a 12-part split) was... well, I think traumatic might be the best word to describe the sight reading reaction. Percussion is my blood, everything has rhythm and meter and pulse, a patter that runs through it. Given my stage fright, I don't perform much anymore - just teach and write.

SinsB: Ah, but the sound of a good soprano is fantastic - it's just that many I have met professionally keep their egos in the same location as their range - high. *grin*

well, probably not the Aspie ones, M. I am one of those happy little girl auties that sings like a blessed angel. I can get spooked by the egos in the choral section and have been chased out of choirs and ensembles by more than one of those sopranos you can't work with! I can't say I liked being intimidated to leave, but my true voice has never been diminished by their actions. I have always wondered what would have been my future if I had ever been trained in music and in voice. Perhaps in another life, eh? :D

Indeed, though it's never too late to explore one's voice. You're right - I've never met an aspie soprano, or a vocalist of any sort, to be honest, who was on the spectrum. Keyboardists, percussionists, composers... but not vocalists, and I knew nothing of the spectrum when I sang. Odd. I'm a grumbly sort of bass, used to be a Bass II (low) but cigarettes aren't good for the voice, so I'm a little raspier and without a few of the ledger lines below the clef that I used to have. Was never comfortable as a vocal performer unless I was working with a full choir.

I am not so obsessed with Mr. or Mrs. Right (I am a guy and bi). I have been looking for Mr. Anybody, for a while. For Mr. Anybody the only requirement is mutual attraction.


Mr. Right:
Top requirements:
*Openly Gay
*He is attracted to me physically
*Wants to be my best friend
*Likes to read
*He not only can handle an aspie, but can just connect with one
*He wants to be part of my world, and to have me be a part of his

Physical traits:
*Looks like a "Twink" (gay slang. Let me elaborate)
-Young looking
-Swimmer's build
-No body hair

*If a light skin caucasian then
-Blond pretty boy
-Short to medium length perfectly straight and soft hair with a boyish cut
-Light color or blue eyes that becomes my new definition of "blue"
-Soft lips that look like they want to say, "I want to kiss you"

*If a darker skin caucasian then
-Stylized hair, like with highlights
-Medium length emo style hair
-Maybe a lip or eye brow piercing
-Soft lips that look so cute that they are to die for

*If non-caucasian then
-Not darker skinned than me
-Probably asian for some reason (hopefully japanese, hah)
-Probably interracial, like me, thus he could be some mix of the above

*His chest is flat and hard, but soft and real.

Mental traits:
*As smart or smarter than me
*Capable of rigorous philosophical analysis
*Is a "creator" (be it in art, science research, writing, or whatever. He makes something new)
*Passionate about his creative work
*Capable of long intense and detailed analytical discussions
*Is happy to be proven wrong, especially if it is a deeply held belief
*Is happy to prove others wrong, but not as happy to be proven wrong
*He is not repulsed by some of my habits
*Want's to hang out with me alot, and me with him
*Likes anime, sci-fi, and fantasy
*Can't keep his hands off of me (or his lips!)
*Is either random and spontaneous, or structured and ordered like me (I don't understan either. What about the middle? blah I don't know, hah.)
*If he is into music, then he does not mind that I am not. But he does not just listen to music, but analyzes it
*He wants to teach me and learn from me
*He is playful in a cute and adorable way
*Likes to cuddle, kiss, and hold hands

Sexual traits:
*Is either as inexperienced as I am, or is okay that I am not and can handle that
*Versatile bottom, heh
*Most of our mundane hang out activities when we are alone lead to sex, lol
*Wants it as much as I do
*Sometimes he just wants to lie there and hold me, pressing my chest hard against his. His chest and torso feels great, hard yet fleshy, and warm. We just lie there and feel each other's hard chest expand as we breath, and we listen quietly and wait, as if trying to hear or feel the other's heart beat.





ugh..... I can't finish this........... I feel all wierd. All depressed and excited.... Happiness and despair.... grrrr...... arggg.......... blah blah blah.... Can't I just have it once before I get old? I already feel old. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sa;dflkasd;jalwekjoaijfsd;fjkl

blah. I am going to bed.

blah, italics? wtf? when did I do that? blah gay melodrama. Ignore me. leave me alone.

I want some one who is more romantic and not just wants to be with me for my body or a trophy. Some one who loves me for me and is genuine and honest.

Got an alto right here, although I do tend to sing all female ranges. In recent years I've mostly done alto, more because I'm a good part singer than anything.

M. - I love a sight reading challenge, the harder the better - it's been years since I've really been challenged by a piece of chorale music.

I'm happy to start a choir! I've already started and run my own SATB acapella group for a year, and I tried to start another choir this year but people at college are lazy and don't turn up to rehearsals enough. I taught the college choir instead.
