But the way I generate pitches isn't exactly down to 'hear it in my head, write it on the page' but the ability to hear the pitches is extremely important for recognising acceptable material when it starts to emerge.
Does that answer the question?
Yes. I guess I was wondering in particular if you had any purely theoretical motivations for dealing with microtones, or if you were going for a more "hands-on" approach, but also generally wanted to leave the topic open enough that you might happen to say other interesting things. Hope your viva went okay. Not sure it's my place, but I can say that it did indeed go rather well...congrats hh!!!  Oh. Excellent! |

A serious accomplishment! Very best wishes in the next phase of your academic/musical life!) |

Well, that's what I'm doing right now. I'm going to write a piece for sixteen tibetan singing bowls. |

I've just found a sketch of how to turn The Satanic Verses into an opera...
Weird. That's going straight into the recycling box.
Also, I'm amazed to find a few orchestral pieces sketched out, including a couple which are written without any (or very little) pre-comp. They're not going in the bin, but I can't really see them coming to much. I'll have to have a proper look once I've settled to see if they're actually any good (they're over five years old so could be dodgy in places).
Nice to see some scores I'd completely forgotten about, but rather scary to see some resurfacing that I hoped had disappeared - I suppose I need to work on my binning technique.
I need to get this lot sorted and in some sort of order (rather than all over my spare bedroom floor) before tomorrow night, when I may or may not have a house-guest.
