Talk:John Psathas

message: I added "Elect the Dead Symphony" album into his notable works section. It is the album, in which he organized the arrangements for "System of a Down" frontman Serj Tankian's live solo album. I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to put this, but I thought I should, just in case. If you see something wrong, please correct it. Parad0x130 (talk) 00:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Lawrence Chandler

message: I have again deleted the Ancestry section.  In spite of the elaborate ancestral claims made, no cited source traces the subject's ancestry beyond his grandparents, and even that source, his mother's obituary, is a primary source and its use thereby represents a violation of WP:NOR, and hence WP:BLP.

Talk:List of pieces which use serialism

message: Although many pieces might incorporate serialism as a way of organizing atonality (twelve-tone composition), serialism as a concept goes far beyond that requirment, especially when dealing with integral serialism.  I do not believe that this article should be merged with the list of twelve-tone pieces.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.139.143.138 (talk) 22:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge but distinguish Twelve tone compositions are serialistic by their very nature, but they use a special type of serialism in which all 12 tones/notes are present without duplication.  Other serialist works will either duplicate or miss out some of the notes, or both, in the series they use; they are also not nessecarily atonal.  For now both lists should appear on the same page but with 12t in one list, and all other serial works in an other.  I will be easier to spot mistakes that way, too.

message: I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles.  This article was bot-assessed as B because another project (in this case Percussion), had assessed it as B.  I find this article deficient, and demote it to Start.  Articles about living composers can be more comprehensive than this; it is largely a promotional piece by the artist's management.

*:"his compositional concerns involve new forms for music appropriate for contemporary culture and these are expressed in his Continuity series of pieces which examine degrees of (overlapping) continuity and fragmentation."http://place-hampi.museum/pdf/Doornbusch-CV08.2.pdf (can be found in middle paragraph 1 in ref)
*:"As an algorithmic composer, Doornbusch has identified and examined in detail the mapping stage of the process where structural data becomes musical parameters."http://place-hampi.museum/pdf/Doornbusch-CV08.2.pdf (can be found at start paragraph 3 in ref)

Talk:Rothenberg propriety

message: I'm finding it hard to understand what the Rothenberg property is. I gather that the diatonic scale satisfies it, but it is quasiperiodic. Then again, the scale "C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#" (repeating at all octaves) is also quasiperiodic, but it doesn't satisfy the Rothenberg property. Explaining why the first satisfies it, but the second doesn't, may make things a lot clearer. Tphcm (talk) 09:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Math notation 

message: Is there any chance of someone familiar with this subject inserting a plain-English explanation of what this is about, please?  I have been trying to find out what "proper diatonic scales" and related terms mean, but this article is totally opaque, and conveys absolutely no meaning to me - even though I claim to have reasonable familiarity with music theory as a whole.  And the link to "Quasiperiodic function" was less than helpful - one of the most abstruse mathematical articles I have seen on Wikipedia.  And I could see nothing there that related to musical scales in any way at all.
I don't ask that the technical jargon be eliminated - I quite grant that it may be very enlightening to those who know the jargon.  But an additional section (maybe an introduction) saying the same thing in plain English would be nice.  Maybe it's necessary to assume the reader knows how to read music, understands music notation, and the like - but I suspect it could be made much easier to understand by people not familiar with the specific theory around abstruse concepts such as quasiperiodic functions, proper diatonic scales, and the like - terms and concepts I had never heard of before now, even after a lifetime of studying music theory, modern harmony, and the like.

Talk:Slavko Osterc

message: Just a note, the Randel ref that was removed is a biographical dictionary (not a general work), and the citation is to an individual entry about Osterc. Also, this is the actual source used in the creation of the article. Since establishing notability through reliable sources is so important to keeping them from deletion processes, and given that, without the book reference, the article is supported only by an incomplete footnote that appears to mention Osterc only in passing, I think it important enough to retain the Randel source on the page that I've restored it once more.

thread_title: Conflict diamonds and militant financing

message: It's is quite obvious that the CIA are involved in drug trade a lot. In year 2000 Taliban banned growing opium and managed to reduce the poppy growing to a small fraction of what it had been. But then international troops appeared and poppy growing reached new record levels. Obviously CIA has worked closely with cocaine trafficers of Colombia. It is quite obvious that United States was involved in heroin trade during the Vietnam war with the hmong people. Drug use is quite prevalent in modern societies, so CIA drug trade, which many people acknowledge somehow, isn't that much even condemned. However, CIA criminal operations most likely span even to child pornography and many other sinister things, such as financial manipulations aimed at keeping people underprivlidged.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BB:81:A198:D8A2:BA07:A820:61F0 (talk) 13:49, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
