luvah Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 no don't merge w/ synth threads, don't be such a wet blanket. You've got ideas for shows integrating synth? This is the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob J Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Then change the thread title to something like "great show idea using synths". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusankusho Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Merged synths threads. Good decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvah Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Merged synths threads. now no one's gonna read my show ideas, or add any of their own. Oh, I think the decision to merge threads was based on the moderator trying to subvert my positive enthusiasm for synths in drum corps, with their dominant hegemony of repression. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feathers Up Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) now no one's gonna read my show ideas, or add any of their own. Oh, I think the decision to merge threads was based on the moderator trying to subvert my positive enthusiasm for synths in drum corps, with their dominant hegemony of repression.LoL I actually liked a couple of your ideas to be honest. But after giving synths another try this year, I would rather just see them GO WAY!! It's not that I don't think the addition could be used for more effects and more ideas. I see a lot of great possibilities with using synths and electronics in general. But I love "drum corps" so I can hear those ideas arranged for a pure accoustic brass sound!!! Sorry, but that's my main problem. The addition of synths and electronics has taken away a lot of that sound and I miss it!!! It has nothing to do with me not liking the effect when done well, because I do. But I can just go watch BOA for that and enjoy it. And one of my favorite musical qualitites of "drum corps" will soon be lost. Edited July 27, 2009 by Feathers Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason I recommended my shows ideas to corps not among the elites is because I believe not everyone has to do the same thing. I don't think there should be a caption for electronic instruments, and I think the elite corps should stick w/ what works for them. At the same time it is difficult to completely remove electronics from the sheets because it would effect the Music GE judge. Your comparison to BOA is apt-- sometimes I think a really good marching band sounds better than a drum corps because of the woodwinds. A bad drum corps arrangement tends to sound like "band in a can." Anything we can do to enrich the timbre of drum corps seems like a positive step--isn't that why we invented the pit in the first place?
