Kevin's Watch

Hello ingemisco

From one pianist to another. May your interrupted cadences always run smooth. Was your AATE recorded??

Be Welcome to the Watch, ingemisco.
Be Well Come and True.

Please come discuss your music in the Vespers forum. I'm sure many there would love to hear about it.

Welcome, ingemisco!

You might be surprised. His beta readers and his webmaster are Watchers. One of them might be willing to pass your stuff along to him, whenever you think you're ready.

Or, if you can make it to the last Covenant-based elohimfest in Albuquerque in 2014, perhaps you can perform them for him and all of us at one point during the dinner and interview.

hi ingemisco

Thanks for the welcome everyone :)
Albuquerque is quite a journey. But hey, you never know. Also my AATE is a piece for orchestra, so we'd need to assemble 80 pro musicians (or so), which to play for 13 minutes, is probably a bit difficult logistics-wise. And not terribly cheap :)

I tend to not to post much on forums, being a shy and quiet soul. But occasionally I do have bouts so you might hear from me from time to time. I was up far too late with the re-read last night. I'd sort of forgotten quite how much TIW puts you through the wringer.

Welcome to the Watch Ingemisco. Are you a tenor?

Yes, as has been mentioned, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to get the music to him, if you want.

Hello!

I've been meaning to joint up for ooooh, years now. Finally, I'm here.

30-ish F based in Ireland. I have no Donaldson-Fan-Friends, and am haven't talked about all things Mordant/Land/Gap in years.... I'm very much looking forward to the chats!

Hello Avellana

Good to see another Watchie from this side of the Atlantic.

Have you read the 3rd Chrons?

Hi Iolanthe,

Thanks for the welcome! Are we Europeans somewhat scarce on the ground here?

I have indeed read the 3rd Chronicles. I'm up to date, although struggling to remember the finer details.... I've just re-read Mordant's Need, and am planning to start a reread of 1st, 2nd and 3rd-to-date Chrons in advance of Autumn 2013. Possibly with a notebook to hand.

You could say we UKites (or should I say GBites ?) are a bit thin on the ground England, Ireland and Scotland are all represented, but not Wales I think.

I was introduced to the Gap series this year and bought my own copies of Mordant's Need (read my son's years ago). My re-read is just about at the end of WGW. Don't know yet if I will go on to re-read the 3rd Chrons. May wait until TLD is nearer its publication date.

Don't want to start to early in case you forget any details.

Reading TLD is going to be like opening a Christmas pressie!

Oh yes. At my age the old memory is not what it was

I hear you. My brain is full. For every new thing that goes in, another leaves.

Hi, Avellana. I'd say the Irish counts have taken an upsurge recently, the last time it was Aussies. Don't worry about your isles being underrepresented; it's the rest of Europe that creeps in black shadows so dense you'd need a chainsaw to cut them apart. Which just means we need an Europe-wide SRD revolution or something to overthrow the American overlords.

Hi Avellana from another Irish Watcher!

You're the second to join recently, that means we now have enough for a CeltFest I'm based in Dublin and a long-time Chronicles fan.

Join in, comment, start new threads and if you're around Dublin (if you're not already living there!) at any stage we can rope Beldarin (she's from Trim) in and have that CeltFest

u.

Perkele. Well, off to enjoy a Nord-Mono-Fest in the sauna.

Be Welcome to the Watch, Avellana.
Be Well Come and True.

There are also a few Irish Watchers over in England. Stonemite (the Watcher formerly known as Stonemaybe) and Cleburne come to mind. If there are others, my recall is failing to retrieve the data at the moment.

Enjoy the SRD areas of the Watch, then explore the other forums as well. From politics and philosophy, to music and cooking, there are topics to engage anyone and everyone!

I look forward to reading your posts.

Although not as active lately as he used to be, CovenantJr hails from Wales.

Welcome Avellana! May you thrive here and contribute!

SD beat me to the CovJr info.

Welcome, Avellana! If y'all do organize a CeltFest, I'd be sorely tempted to jump on a plane. Ireland's on my bucket list.
