Gemini and music orchestration

As of time of writing, I set up this capsule about a week ago. I'm very excited by the advent of the Gemini network, I love its simplicity by design and how it skips/solves lots of aspects that are wrong with the Web (eg. trackers, "heavy" webpages etc). But beyond setting up my own capsule, I realized that I had quite the opportunity to jump onto: I'm going to write about music orchestration on Gemini.

I have been learning music orchestration (for string intruments) for the past few months. I studied music when I was a kid and teenager, and orchestration is something that I wanted to know more about for years. I was quite lucky when I ended up on a super, intense and great course on Udemy on that topic!

What's music orchestration? It is the process of bringing technics from multiple music instruments together, in order to compose a piece of music for orchestra (the study of the music instrument technics themselves is called intrumentation).

I've been enjoying this course so far, taking it a lesson at a time, whenever I can dedicate some time for it. I'm now deciding to take this learning further by logging and sharing my progress and experience in this new gemlog.

I don't know how this is going to turn out. I'm starting this gemlog because Gemini is fun, it's refreshing. I want to be part of this network and contribute to it. I'm also seeing this gemlog as a place to reflect throughout my learning.

Are you an orchestrator?!? Do you know about music composing? Or do you just want to chat? Come say hi on Mastodon:
