Oh, I am an Italian musician, I am a composer and conductor. I'm falling in love of your land do not know how many miles away. The photos in the forum you are beautiful: I live on Lake Como, and there are also wonderful places here. But the pictures tell me to open space and wonderful light. Missing a forum on music and if it Once again allow me, I would like to open it from here. (Sorry for my English ...)

Hi albe. That's an interesting profession you have. You are a fair way from here, about 10 000 miles according to google. I'm so pleased you like the images here, they are beautiful, but I don't think they do Tasmania justice...I reckon each and every person needs to see the place for themselves to really appreciate it.
You live in a beautiful part of the world as well, I was just looking at some pictures of the area.
Music forum, not a bad idea, might have to discuss that one with Mystic and see what can be done on the matter.
Please enjoy your stay

hiya albe and welcome. Agree fully with Shane about the beauty of your location. Great scenery and gorgeous old buildings too.

Sorry for our oversight on not including any sections related to music, or other forms of entertainment, though I have now updated the title and description for this section to accommodate those things.

Glad you like what you see here, maybe you can even be tempted to visit.

Would like to know more about your music, any chance you could attach a sample to a post? (Use the attach files button below the test area when adding a reply or starting a new topic).

Hi, I'm really happy with your answers. It 's true, Lake Como is very nice (every now and then I go out canoeing on the lake, and is even more beautiful seen up close), but also has wonderful places where you live. I have no photographs of the lake made by me, I'm not a great photographer, but I can get it. If I understand correctly, you want to attach the music (my music?). I choose one and the attachment. Now, here I have the 7.30 in the morning, and soon I have to be at work. It's cold, I would say so. The winter started early. Since it's summer and I think you may enjoy very different temperatures. Best regards, Alberto

[Mystic]

Thanks Alberto. Yes, it is your music I would like to hear a little of, and look forward to it

Supposed to be summer here right now, but today ahs been rather chilly, with lots of ice and hail. Clouds are too low to see, but would not be surprised if there was a little snow up on the mountains. Still, probably not quite as cold as it is up your way.

[Shane V]

It would be nice to see some shots of Lake Como Alberto, and I would also like to hear some of your music

[albe]

I took these pictures yesterday. There was strong wind. And the mountains has already fallen from more than a week in the snow. Today, however, the wind dropped and is only cold. But, thank God, is Saturday. I worked up to an hour ago.
For my music, I will send you a performance of "IX Libro" Ensemble which is the small orchestra of young musicians that I founded and directed in Como.


This is a March in F that Leopold Mozart wrote.

For music written by me have to wait. We are exploring my piece again, but it will take time ...
I work a lot in transcriptions and arrangements for the orchestra.

Thanks . I'm sorry. I must think about it

Nice shots Alberto. A few too many building for my liking. Prefer less built up locations, but still looks a nice place.

enjoyed the music sample as well. The orchestra sounds quite good

I prefer the most isolated places, with fewer people. It's just what I'm going to the lake in a kayak or canoe. It 's the best way to feel (relatively) just with the lake. In the middle of the lake, the water feels just flapping in the canoe. Sometimes a gray heron before me and follow me. Despite this, the lake is busy, used as a communication link, as it always was, even before they did the streets. But now all the boats go by motor.
On its banks were built, over the centuries, villages and countries are now more or less large.
Some of these villages are pre - Roman times, others have been taken by the Lombards, and others still are colonies of Greeks and Romans wore on the shores of the lake to colonize the territory. There are countries, in fact, have names that derive dall'alfabto greek: Lemna, Lenno ....
From you, the population density will not be as high as with us. It's probably why your seeing the pictures of the places I'm in love with your land.

Thanks for the compliments to the orchestra. Every year someone leaves, someone new arrives. Now we work Ciaikosky songs, but also a piece of Elvis, a good Italian-style jazz singer, that maybe you also have the opportunity to listen.

p.s. with my English school / online translator how are you?

[Mystic]

Thanks for the info Alberto. I just did a little more reading about the lake and villages. Seems there is a lot of history and historical places there. Australia is still a baby in comparison, with a history of only a few hundred years.

With only around 500,000 people living here, there is definitely a lot of undeveloped and open country. Much of it probably only saved because it is too rugged to get roads into. I used to live in Sydney, where trees are so rare that they are almost a novelty. Now, I could never go back to a large city again. There is something magical about looking out at hills of green, hearing nothing but birdsong, even if my view does include a sleepy little town.

Elvis...an Italian jazz singer? you have me confused here. Did a bit of a search to see if I was reading correctly, but could find no information.

By the way, your English is fine. I grew up in a Russian family and am very used to not quite perfect English, but I think your English would be quite easy for anyone to read and understand.

Sorry, no Elvis, but Paolo Conte, a italian singer in jazz style. Would you listen a piece of his music?

Thanks for invite to friend. It really nice.

Just watched a clip of one of his songs (Vieni via con me) on Youtube. Not bad at all, quite boppy.

I alike all kinds of music except for 99% of rap and country & western (which I call cat strangling)

[Shane V]

Very nice place you have there Alberto. Thanks for the info as well, very interesting indeed. I really liked the music sample too, I'm not well versed in the music of that nature but did find it pleasing to hear. I would certainly like to hear some of Paolo Conte's music...love expanding my horizons.
Thanks for sharing you part of the world with us

Wow, that's the song we're working on. I agree with the assessment on the country western. With us there is something very similar, as a genre, which is called "smooth" ("Liscio") and that especially includes dancing, a genre born one hundred years ago now, that you play in village festivals: boring, repetitive, predictable.

The rap I sometimes surprise, that my young students that I propose and urge me to try to understand more what's inside the Music, it's called Elvis or Mozart or Beethoven or Tom Waits. When the music is commercial, as I say, plastic, I do not even realize it exists.

Thank you, "my" lake is one of the nice things about this part of Italy.
For Elvis if you search on Youtube you will find a lot: "Via con me ", "Bartali", "Sotto le stelle del jazz" and other

I'm sorry, continue to "translate" Elvis. No Elvis but Paolo Conte.

Thanks Alberto...will do that when I have a few spare minutes
