- Comment Ouch, Thor! That can happen sometimes to me, except I usually have a reasonable understanding of WHY I'm unable to sleep. I get too excited about something and that's it, I'm up all night. And with some experience over the years I am able to identify those nights early on, and spend that precious ...

- Comment Bregt, Alan, Thomas: thanks so much for the sentiment! Its no easy task to sustain ambitions in film composing in Norway (or anywhere, for that matter), having to deal with both the competition and limited market possibilites. So it's an absolute delight to recieve some recognition once in a while. ...

- Comment Great programming again, Thor. A lot of the modern scores are relatively unexplored to me, however popular, so it's useful to be reminded of how much great film music has been composed even over the last couple decades. Perhaps another program for fantasy music pre-1980s?:)

While they are amazing composers, serving both the movie and the orchestral tradition very well, I have a feeling ...

- Comment I'm with Thor on his comments. It is a very important kind of discussion Pawel is surfacing here. It's difficult, and perhaps unproductive, to address all the issues at once, but my concern was the danger of constructing a dichotomy between composers with or without a formal education. A few ...

- Comment It was the wording of the phrase "generally defined sonorities" that I paraphrased to the meaning of "mundane". I'll back you up on the claim that composers are forced into stylistic modes by producers and commercial demand. The problem is not only a Hollywood phenomenon. You ...

- Comment Pawel: Herrmann only interested in mundane sonorities? What planet are you from? The artistic prosess of any artist is never as linear as scholars would like. Good solutions are stumbled into by trial and error or chance more frequently than being the result of a master plan in the mind of a ...

- Comment Pawel, great debate! I do believe your line of thought leads you to make some faulted assumptions about composers with academic backgrounds. First of all you're severely stereotyping them, although I can understand why you might do that to clarify your points. Furthermore, Bernard Herrmann is a ...

Working on a couple new scenes for a film and practising for a recital next week, and I feel good - perhaps even better than before, with a fresh sense of vitality to everything I do.

I don't think I was hit because the place where my brother found my bike was a bike path and not an actual road. It is very steep downhill there, so it is most likely that i either didn't brake enough, or ...
