: Tell me about yourselves, let's communicate! : I'm Jason Wingate, a composer, I need to talk to other composers but often hate academics (these days).... who does that leave? You, maybe? I'll give/take advice, spar valiantly with any argument, inject blood into any discussion. Post or e-mail me! : ABOUT ME: I'm 31, have worked in TV and Film but didn't adore the experience, have just finished a mive self-education period and am starting to compose again. I'm working with combining orchestra and electronics so as to conflate vernacular musics of our day - drum'n'b and film music - and hopefully enoble both in light of the precepts of the past. I'm also writing stories and illustrating them with music. (A website will happen soon.) I'm not a neo-anything and not a modernist and not a postmodernist. What am I? What are you? : NAMES I CONJURE WITH: Bach, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Debussy, Stravinsky, Prokofiev.... : NAMES I CONJURE YOU TO ABJURE: Cage, Paul Griffiths, Boulezzzzzz, Ferney... : WORDS I LOVE: Harmony, counterpoint, pion, beauty, spirit. : WORDS I DISLIKE: Darmstadt, minimalism, deconstruction, academicism. : As far as I can see on one visit, my philosophy isn't a million miles away from the Jolly Roger lit. one. : You can't hear my stuff yet - but think about it! That means we're free! : So, who are you? : JMW
