tarkus Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I missed it - what kind of composing gear/software was he using? They mentioned that his Computer crashes because he is composing too fast (exaggeration or is he using the wrong gear?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenstrum Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 That's awesome! The human brain is so amazing! *Wishing I was half as talented* Tenstrum "Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face." Harry Dresden, Storm Front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred TBP Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 If he decides to compose rock music when he's older, a lot of contemporary artists are in trouble. But if he decides to play bass, we're ALL in trouble! God bless him. It must be wonderful to know at two what you want to do with your life.

butcherNburn Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I caught it.. The kid is amazing. I hope he keeps his mind healthy, and the people around him make sure he has some "real-life" (whatever the hell that is) experiences to balance him out. There was a part where he flipped the music upside down and started playing it that way. The look on his teachers face was priceless. I feel that he could probably master (technically) and instrument he chooses quickly. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

jeremy c Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Pretty slick! I'd like to hear his stuff. But he's a little behind, Richard Bona was gigging by the time he was eleven. bio here. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Reminds me of what I saw on PBS about The Band, specifically the Garth Hudson segment. What an amazing player, and mind. He simultaneouly played two very different difficult pieces on two different keyboards arranged at 90 degrees - with his back turned! And here is a guy that's pretty much fallen between the cracks in the music world. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lug Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 There are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect. You can stop now -jeremyc STOP QUOTING EVERY THING I SAY!!! -Bass_god_offspring lug, you should add that statement to you signature.-Tenstrum I'm not sure any argument can top lug's. - Sweet Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I saw this, very, very randomly. Oh my. This kid is scary. He was discussing his writing/composing technique and he said something to the effect of: (paraphrasing big-time)"I can have up to 3 different compositions going in my head at once, I work them out, then just write them down. I never go back and change something once it's written down. I've already worked out in my head the right arrangement" He also mentioned that he really doesn't have a strong desire to become a world-class piano player, he really likes to compose more than anything.
