@sflorg this is a situation that will confront musicians, particularly those starting in depth in later life, and particularly if sight-reading (playing what is being read) and particularly if playing complex polyphony using both hands and feet - ie an organ... and even accompanying oneself while singing!

Still watching this process as it develops, looking for ways of improving it.

Of all the simultaneity, running multiple limb / auditory processes seems to be the most natural part, while the trickiest still seems to be reading multiple staffs which requires a lot of rapid eye movement, as we only have one binocular fovea and "abstract" visual analysis area while everyday life can require managing lots of limbs and fingers while talking and listening....!

Just how much of the recognition and processing can or _could_ happen in #peripheralVision intrigues me.

It would be interesting to see this study repeated with orchestral conductors who will be familiar with a lot of precise "simultaneous" attention, not least a score with lots of simultaneous staffs!

In this clip from our latest podcast episode, saxophonist Patrick Smith discusses his trio album 'Words Underlined,' describing the group as "technicians of tone" rather than players focused on chops.

1. go to https://seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html and download Transcribe
2. Do it yourself. Start slow, poke the piano, make mistakes, you'll figure it out, it's just a code and only costs your effort.
3. Kings will stand in awe of your skill 😊

Transcribe! - software to help transcribe recorded music

Transcribe! from Seventh String Software. Learn music from recordings. Slow down music without changing the pitch. Analysis of chords. For Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you enjoy #guitar , #bluegrass , #musicianship , #PreWarMartins , and/or conversations about #music between expert #musicians , I highly recommend you seek out #RickBeato 's interview with #BillyStrings , which went up on the former's channel earlier this week.

If you're a #guitarist , it may make you want to throw your guitar off a cliff, but that's what we all signed up for.

Excellent gig in York last night from #Rush tribute act Moving Pictures. First-class #musicianship throughout over two and a half hours of music in two sets, the second being based on the performances from Exit Stage Left.

Highlights for me were probably Between The Wheels in Set 1, blistering renditions of Freewill, Tom Sawyer & Xanadu in Set 2, and Marathon from the encores.

Can highly recommend this experience to any Rush fans out there.

This talk presents some of Diana Deutsch’s illusions of music and speech, and discusses their implications. Several of these illusions demonstrate that our brains reconstruct the sounds that arrive at our ears, in accordance with our knowledge, experience, and expectations. As a result, the sound patterns we hear may be quite different from those that are really present.
