Re: Aphex Twin deathWaltz

[Tim Reeves]

I don't know what Aphex Twin is, or what it has to do with the image, but 
I'd guess it's the name of a rock band. Am I right?

I think one of the flutists in the community orchestra I play in had that 
on her stand at a rehearsal once so I thought it might be some kind of 
inside flute joke...but on closer inspection...who knows what it is!
It reminds me of stuff in Herr Professor Schmutzig's "Complete Method fur 
der Waldhorn or der Ventilhorn" booklet that I got a photocopy of from my 
high school horn teacher. Funny stuff. Lots of inside jokes for horn 
players, like the Siegfried Long Call played upside down, a new embouchure 
position called "einschmutzen" etc.

see http://www.rjmartz.com/horns/Schmutzig/

unfortunately a quick search didn't turn up the musical examples inside 
this little gem...
