Losing at home

i have also juggled relationships, and had to have similar staged phone calls. it was A LOT of work, and in hind sight, not really worth the resulting headaches. i am stunned that Trina still comes around - you’ve been direct with her, but she still holds hope. Like a train wreck, it’s hard to look away!
Ray Coniff of the easy listening genre? Is that who you’re referencing? Funny.
So now you’re making pretend phone calls? Is that what its come to? I’m with Daisy. I can’t believe she still bothers. You must be a real treat in bed.
The ticket made me envy your lifestyle.
Well, when everything else fails, try humour. It was either have a bit of fun with her with a fake phone call from one of the sexy sisters I am not seeing, or getting angry with her.
Yes, I’m astonished she persists. I can’t be any more direct with her than I have been. It’ll end when I actually do meet someone like Samantha.
By the way, after the concert ended, I texted Trina. “Wow, that was good. Especially Theresa… er, I mean The Second Piano Sonata.”
And yes – I was referring to the great Ray Coniff. (Oops! Conniff, two n’s).
Hello YAH! Long time no see. No — the car crash continues to unravel like a disaster movie in slow-mo.
Whatever you think of his motivations, I’m not sure Wolff had the right idea when he imposed his aesthetic on the intermediate format rather than on the finished product.
The process reminds me of the modern fad for “GIF glitching", where people edit image files in text editors or similar, creating random and weird results. What’s written as “the glitch” almost never translates trivially into what actually happens to the animated image.
If anything, a musician trying to read Wolff’s score is likely to be more careful to follow it as a constraint than someone playing Vivaldi. Or indeed someone playing something based on tone rows.
(I was hoping to get a “Wolff messing” joke out of this comment but frankly I’ve let myself down.)
… Mind you, we were all a bit embarrassing when we were 17.
Of all formalist experiments in composition I’ve heard, this one, for me anyway, was the least satisfying, despite me being quite intially sympathetic to the idea of breaking up the dogma of “development".
I think I’ll have a quiet afternoon in with some classics from Webern. You know where you stand with old Anton. And he knew when to belt up.
