oh happy day!

if you've never read this book, it will change the way you look at things. it's incredible.

i like this little gem from erik satie:

  Quote

An artist must regulate his life.

 

Here is a time-table of my daily acts. I rise at 7.18; am inspired from 10.23

to 11.47. I lunch at 12.11 and leave the table at 12.14. A healthy ride on

horse-back round my domain follows from 1.19 pm to 2.53 pm. Another bout of

inspiration from 3.12 to 4.7 pm. From 5 to 6.47 pm various occupations

(fencing, reflection, immobility, visits, contemplation, dexterity, natation,

etc.)

 

Dinner is served at 7.16 and finished at 7.20 pm. From 8.9 to 9.59 pm symphonic

readings (out loud). I go to bed regularly at 10.37 pm. Once a week (on

Tuesdays) I awake with a start at 3.14 am.

 

My only nourishment consists of food that is white: eggs, sugar, shredded bones,

the fat of dead animals, veal, salt, coco-nuts, chicken cooked in white water,

mouldy fruit, rice, turnips, sausages in camphor, pastry, cheese (white

varieties), cotton salad, and certain kinds of fish (without their skin). I

boil my wine and drink it cold mixed with the juice of the Fuschia. I have a

good appetite but never talk when eating for fear of strangling myself.

 

I breathe carefully (a little at a time) and dance very rarely. When walking I

hold my ribs and look steadily behind me.

 

My expression is very serious; when I laugh it is unintentional, and I always

apologise very politely.

 

I sleep with only one eye closed, very profoundly. My bed is round with a hole

in it for my head to go through. Every hour a servant takes my temperature and

gives me another.

im forever in your debt kaini

sweet jesus, what a find

Only as a guide to appreciating beethoven from what I can remember. Studying schoenberg's actual pieces is a much better way into his brain. Messiaen's "Technique of my musical language", which is available on page 6, is a better "cookbook" (feldman's term, not mine) for the beginner composer.

also this, as an additional resource with more modern scores than the petrucci library.

I'd disagree, but then that'd be rude.

Studying any of Schoenberg's writing can be hugely interesting, especially if you are interested in organicism in composition.

wow thank you so much david

I didn't look at the link the OP posted yet, but...

Sup - I would recommend Miles Davis' autobiography, Miles: The Autobiography. It'll tell you all you need to know about being COOL. And then some. He had an epic life for sure.

UBU is a good resource, but has nowhere near as many full texts compared to the original link (if I remember correctly UBU were the ones that originally found and shared the link). Real sad that its gone as I used it a lot for research, sometimes it had better resources than my university library.

Sounds like it was amazing. Would've been a really useful link

it was :(

i grabbed a decent amount of stuff from it, at least.
