Hi everyone
Do I know anyone who illustrates (or aspires to illustrate) graphic novels (or knows someone brilliant who does). In this case, it's a historic theme, so the aesthetic will be western with a bit of steam punk for fun
Please feel free to nominate yourself!

Here's a proper example of spontaneous composition from Saturday's Electric Truth show at the @elgarfestival.bsky.social. Let the audience pick the notes and the time signature and see what you can come up with. With such great musicians on the bandstand, it's a joy.

Not on Bluesky to plug my orchestration tips books necessarily. But recently I've gotten a ton of requests regarding a student discount. While I can't admin that, I can hold a sale for everyone that helps composers on a tight budget. So here it is. Links in the replies below.
