by Carl RobinsonA nice little waltz that's been sitting locked away for years. The electric guitar is a new piece (does anybody leave them as they were originally?).
Bonks had his nose pushed out here 'cos I didn't know him when I wrote it, therefore he don't get no credit. (Hope he don't stop me using his 5000.) Rob (of Robonk) |

by Phil ComberComposed by: Phil Comber & Andy ComberComposed by Phil Comber & Andy Comber Programmed by Phil Comber Mixed by Andy Comber August 1989 WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A FISH??? Since the release of the album "Anchovy", at the beginning of 1989, the future of the Fish Shop Boys has been uncertain. Much promising material has been shelved, due to the fact that founder member Andy Comber now spends most of his time in Scotland, and Phil remains in Surrey. As a result, new material has been impossible to produce. In a desperate attempt to save the Fish Shop Boys from drowning, they send out an invitation for some other talented, and inventive composer to join the group, so that future albums can be completed & released. If you would like to be a part of this group, then contact Phil Comber as soon as possible. Do not worry if you live a fair way off from the address below, as the music can simply be mailed between group members. Phil Comber "Pucks Corner" Green Dene East Horsley Surrey KT24 5RE Remember: This offer is open to anyone! Composers/Programmers of any standard. Creative input is what is required to maintain the high standards and originality set by the first 2 albums! |

It is rather difficult for comparative beginners like myself to grasp the subtleties in the programming of many of the examples we get. Beginners might be put off completely when they compare their own prowess. MS3 was devised as something they could work with. A knowledge of music is unnecessary, and probably a hindrance! Feel perfectly free to experiment with this program ($.Machine). You have my full permission. Here are some notes about it. I have chosen a bar length of 240, as this also divides by 5. Part 'a' is 50 bars long, part 'b' 46 bars, and part 'd' 12 bars. Part 'c' is a fairly orthodox interlude and can be disregarded. The musical(?) phrase words have a suffix which gives their length in bars. E.g. 'sub-6' is 6 bars long. I obtained some squared paper (at least 50 columns wide) and wrote down the player numbers several lines apart. It was then easy to note each player with instruments: pitch staccato q staccatissimo sq legato y pan (* 3o = pp 8o = ff I then filled in the squares opposite each part number with the phrases and rests (e.g. 6 squares for sub-6) so that they all totalled the same length (e.g. 50 bars in part 'a'). Here is a summary of the phrase words: sub- = subject, csub- = countersubject, hiss- = note 2:C, ped- = note -2:C, n- = note 0:C, up- = chromatic scale etc., sli- = a slide downwards, sli0 = a slide upwards etc., larum- = alarm, r- = a rest. To study a part, say "part6a", call up the Notepad. In command mode type ' "part6a"GET ' then 'mix' then '6 SHARE'. Press TAB to go into the editor and then To hear a few instruments at a time go into command mode and type, say, ' "123-a"PLAY ' as an example. You will need to type 'mix' again and ' When you experiment you can try out your own ideas for phrases. There's plenty of scope: aviary, jungle, aquarium, motorway, cavern etc., when you get tired of machinery! Lol Taylor. |

by G H RichardsonThis is another case where I could not at first get the rhythm in the chorus (parts c to g) to sound exactly as I play it until I had a bright idea. I switched to 'Recorder' in the Menu and after setting up 1 Voice, 1 Player, Quantize at 12 (or 16), and reducing the Tempo by half, I tapped out one note of the tune over 7 bars as I knew it should sound. After several attempts I produced something reasonable and duly named and made it as 'part1'. I then transferred to the Staff editor and, like a miracle, there were the notes complete with values, rests and bar lines. Why didn't I think of this solution before? Another problem was that the lower notes 'growled' rather than sounded, so in the Mixing Desk I transposed the whole thing up to 100 - about three and a half tones - with, I think, a considerable improvement.
