One of these patents is a policing one that can identify when someone is posting a tune they don’t own, or, flags new songs for potential infringement of old songs. Once flagged, it will still require human legal review to see if it actually rises to the level of infringement,…

Good thread. Wild watching someone perform his craft in real time right in front of you and hearing him explain to you what he’s thinking while he’s doing it. When this piece is done, you could listen to it and tack through this thread at your leisure and probably learn a ton.

When they need someone to score their films, I'm the guy for the job. I'll even audition and beat everyone out for it. semafor.com/article/07/20/… “Say yes to projects about American exceptionalism, name America’s enemies, back artists unconditionally, take risk on novel IP.”
My Macbook Pro was ~$6,500 and has about a 12% fail rate at completing basic tasks. (Pro audio, air drop, connecting Thunderbolt device, whatever…) A new computer and OS is sorely needed for society. Palmer is probably the only guy who could do it.
Would you buy a Made In America computer from Anduril for 20% more than Chinese-manufactured options from Apple?
If I ever wrote a movie about George Washington, it would open with a scene of him having officers whipped, beaten, and signing letters to have deserters executed in public. (Cut to scene in NY of family begging for mercy, but then the hanging commences anyway.) There would be…
Harp "con plettro" that high can make things pretty icy!
1st Movement, Recapitulation section. Had no intention of writing music for a specific event in American history. Heard sleigh bells in my head against 6 epic horns blaring the theme. "What does this sound like? Sleigh bells? Christmas?" "...." ".....ahh."

Yes! 4 movements planned as follows: I. Allegro (classic sonata form with literal exposition repeat) II. Scherzo (ternary) III. Lacrimoso (a sort of "Cole Porter" song form, unconventional, but American in ethos) IV. Finale (undecided so far) Goal is 28min length.
Are you intending to do a traditional 4 movement symphony? If so, do you have any of the motifs or the form worked out yet?
The Industrial Era coincided with the greatest flourishing of music in history. Classical music essentially found its footing between ~1700-1940. The @reindsummit should include classical music performers next time! Reach out! I can recommend some incredible players. (Would…
