    Orchestral Lovers?

    Harry Gregson-Williams and Hans Zimmer are probably my favourite western film score composers, even if some elitists would scoff at that and claim that they're overrated. As for just general orchestral stuff, Prokofiev's Peter And The Wolf is always entertaining. It's just slightly too long for...

    MTV Australia Awards 2009

    I was just wondering if anyone had a playlist of the songs that were booming from those loud, loud speakers during the red carpet session last Friday. Thanks in advance!

    Thursday "Common Existence"

    Regardless of the source, I would take 187 any day over YOUR nonsensical nickname, fool!

    How was your first day at UNSW?

    I was late and missed my first tutorial and class for the whole semester. Gah, what a start!

    arc benefits

    Also, that card-flashing Kingsford McDonald's discount should apply to all UNSW students, not just ARC members. That's what happened last year, anyway.

    Medicine: UNSW vs USyd

    Actually, that's not quite true. It's not exactly impossible to pursue one profession (for example, Medicine) while still strongly being involved in the other. I've heard of a doctor becoming an accomplished actor, so why can't the same be said of music? That said, it would be overly optimistic...

    'Hey Monday'

    Well, I think that the fact that it's a teen band fronted by a girl pimped a number of instrument-playing boys is similarity enough to be reminiscent of Paramore! The style is in the same kind of pop-rock vein of genre, though. After hearing Homecoming, I can't say that Hey Monday plays what I'd...

    Thursday "Common Existence"

    Isn't Tim McIlrath the lead singer from Rise Against? That aside, Thursday is a pretty darn awesome band!

    how to become a promoter

    Depending on how far you plan to go, you might not even need a university degree. Basic club promotion is quite easy to enter into, for example.

    Musicians at UNSW!

    Hey all, I play the guitar and am going to be a second year in 2009. Wait, that sentence sounded really random because those two facts were relevant to each other at all. Oh well, anyway... So! Obviously there must be other musicians at UNSW, so hurrah. Has anyone joined the Music society or...

    What's the name of this Chinese duet?

    Okay, I apologize in advance for the lack of information, but I've been attempting to find out the name of an Asian duet, which I've seen people put on in karaoke places in the city a few times. From what I remember, the song is in Mandarin, and involves a guy and a girl sort of singing to each...

    Notation Composer!

    Ensure that Stereo Mix is selected as the recording input. Use a program that allows you to record audio, such as Audacity, and play the MIDI file while recording.

    Music 2 Sightsinging

    Are there any rules regarding accidentals? For example, are they not allowed to be included, and is modulation not permitted to occur?

    Composition For Film, Television, Advertisements And Video Games

    I'm sincerely interested in a composing music for media as a career, but have little idea as to how to approach university degrees for this purpose. Are there any credible institutions or universities that provide worthwhile composition courses? In America, for example, some colleges actually...

    Career In Advertising

    I've recently become interested in a career in advertising, but I don't know the correct term of what I'm looking for, which makes searching for possible university degrees and like quite difficult. I'm intrigued by the possibility of creating advertisements for television and billboards (and...

    SAE (What alternatives are there?)

    Thanks for the reply, Phanatical. How does Southern Cross University's B Contemporary Music course rank? Is it as "useless" as qualifications from AIM, or would it in fact be worth looking into?

    HSC performance pieces

    Do you play classical or electric guitar, Faker101? Also, are you studying Music 1 or Music 2? I visited the AMC about two months ago and found a few pieces which could suffice for the Australian component of the course. For general preformance, my personal preference would be Romantic and...

    SAE (What alternatives are there?)

    I visited the SAE website and attempted to glean what information I could. However, I didn't find it to be overly clear and it actually reminded me a little of the AIM website for some reason. Hmm! In plain English, what exactly is the difference between a Certificate course and a Bachelor of...

    Compositions

    Are "traditional" composers discouraged? From what I've seen, extended techniques, dissonance and insane metric modulation are all the rage these days. Is that true for the Con? I know that parts of it are directed towards experimental music, but are such composers the only types the institution...
