hi everybody!

[sandal]

Hello,

Greetings from Turkey. Nice to be among music lovers.

I'm a retired engineer having no background in music other than being a listener, mostly of classical music, and then perhaps more of the baroque than other periods.

For nearly a year, I have been reading some music theory and even dared try writing some music myself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX7sYgslGPA).

Impressed by the expertise and the prevalent courtesy and comradeship in the forum, I look forward to meeting fellow members and meanwhile learning a lot from them. Is this bad?

I'm seeing you backing off through some diplomacy here.
What happened, sandal?
Did someone from North American let you in on some "turkey talk",
if I can "gobble-gobble" a little here myself?
However, this is the computer age. Maybe you just want to be a turkey-lurkey.
Jus'typin'.

dear john watt,

being a secret (not anymore) admirer of the –sometimes explosive- humor in JHC’s posts, where he often imitates street-speeches, accents thru distorted spelling; i was referring to mat’s sarcastic remark on JHC’s ‘eloquence’, and his cheerful answer (both a few posts above). amused by their exchange of jokes, i was meaning to remark on mat’s jokingly teasing post. that i needed to explain it makes clear how well i could make myself understood

to avoid undue crowding of a13ch’s thread, let me reply your questions and remarks here: aleatoric music is, shortly, indeterminate or chance music (dice music), practiced and promoted by some genius! composers of the last hundred years (as i believe you know much better than i do). my joke was that a 'cleg' or a fly walking about on a staff would provide an opportunity for a sight-reading musician to make pure and true aleatoric music (i.e., aleatoric music par excellence). beer would surely help, but something dryer would be highly recommended to ease perpetrating the heresy

being aware, from your posts, of your diligence on the proper use of the language, i gather that you are annoyed by my language. having never been to an english speaking country, it is true that i generally feel even less at ease with spoken english, especially as it gets less formal and more colloquial. i know i sometimes sound awkward, anachronistic, even quasi-victorian (and sometimes can’t help mocking it myself), but that’s the best i can do.

as to the gobbledygook on diplomacy, etc, which as they stand in your post are quite incomprehensible to me: perhaps, in the light of the above, you would like to rephrase them, so that even i can understand.

cordially
