Arrrrrghhhh @coolpinkone  LMAO - I thought I knew enough already about that darned piece ( LOL - I LOVE IT ) - just TMI to follow on that link... LOLOL - totally cool though for the "youngsters" getting to know it for the first time !!!!!  Good link with LOTS of follow-up info !  Nice one!

Hopefully, this associated thread to the main project should be cool.  

It is for "any" related version of "what you do" and "how it sounds like" and "what problems we are having" with any particular part (vln or vla) of the Rising Sun project.

And yes, OF COURSE, we are working towards the end goal of the FM ( @Fiddlerman ) 's score, of COURSE we are - but what this thread is about is "how we get there" and "how we feel it"...   

Cool...

My first practice out-take - now - it's only the first 8 bars about 6 times over - and it is "not quite" according to the sheet - nor is it at the expected tempo.  It is just "how I hear it in my head" nothing more.  

Naturally, I'll be using FM's click and score for real submissions - this was just me having fun and kind of messing with a new (to me) bowing technique. (Which, although much more controlled here, is also what bust those hairs on my bow when I was thrashing the poor Concert to within an inch of its life, Terry!  Thanks again mate!)

Not laughing at anything here @cdennyb ( other than the busted hair on my bow! ).

Cool sound Mr. Denny ( ! ) - aye - "haunting" and "ethereal" - and I know exactly what you mean by "unlearning" something !!!  LOL.  Not that I've played it on violin before - but I have my own acoustic guitar version and of course can't quite get it out of my mind! LOL

And THANK YOU for the out-take.   EXACTLY what the thread is for, cool work Dennis.

That's odd Denny - sure, not all 38 parts are playing all the time, but I did download it to get it directly into MS and there does seem to be notation on all parts at various places with the single exception of the timpani - which does seem to not have any content at all (and that may possibly be due to the sound font in use - although - that's pretty much a standard - and that surprises me - maybe it is really an empty part - I'll check timpani on the default soundfont I have later) -

I do see notation at various places for all the other parts.   But like I say - a very nice exercise - but most assuredly not a road I would walk along myself.... LOL  Better to spend your time actually playing, and not shifting dots around on the screen !
