Comiket 70 is starting tomorrow. Three days of sinful and possibly moé dealings centered around the Tokyo Big Sight convention area. Shingo from HD looks like he’s all ready to take on the entire otaku population of Japan. Three channel members, zima, sek and nivek (the infamous “nivek-raws” are from him, yup) of SOS-dan @ irc.rizon.net will be there.
So why the hell am I stucked in Singapore. ;_; Well, I did pass a 13-page shopping list to zima before he left, though. Items on my list include Tony Taka’s new work, Shuffle! aritst Hiro Suzuhira’s new sketch compilation and this event limited Saber that’s carrying Excalibur instead of the retail version Caliburn.
Still, wish I was there… Gao.
Next year… I swear…
13 page? You either have tiny pages, large font or just a hell lot of desires.
Strange that the limited Ed saber is cheaper than the usual one.
Well the list is only 35-items long and I don’t expect zima to be able to even get half of it. But the reason why it’s 13-pages long is mainly because the comiket catalog prints out maps of each hall for each day and points out where the booths you require are.
How much did zima bring again? I hope he has enough to return home. Hahaha.
IF zima does get them all, I can’t imagine him stuck there and not even able to get back to the hotel due to all the stuff he’s carrying.
This might be a little dim of me, but wouldn’t it be easier to either write everything with feathered beams, or put the irrational-y figure in a box with “accel” and “rit” arrows over the relevant portions? This certainly is the most clever way I’ve seen to actually get feathered beam effects to play back in MIDI, but if anyone put this score in front of me to play I’d claw my eyes out.Just saying, it all sounds vaguely cadenza-like to me anyway, so why not notate it that way?KG replies: The reason for not using accel. and rit. is so you can have a measured acceleration or deceleration against a steady beat, which was an idea that Cowell proposed and one that Nancarrow loved using. And by doing it this way, you can have more control over several accelerations or decelerations at once. It’s not for live performance, but for MIDI playback. I hate it when performers claw their eyes out, gives me the creeps.
