Wendy Carlos

[edit]

Hocketing was an integral feature of electronic musician Wendy Carlos's arrangement style. She used it extensively, and in fascinating ways, throughout her works for decades. You can hear her discussing this on her album "Secrets of Synthesis" (track 7: "Electronic Pointillism & Hocketing"). Perhaps someone else can elaborate and adjust the article for us.

Hocket

[edit]

I took the trouble to write a critique of this article. Apparently, it has been suppressed. The "editors" may, of course, do whatever they want with whatever they want. But I would be curious to know why my observations were suppressed. W. Liam Allan-Dalgleish Wdalgleish@yahoo.com W. Liam Allan-Dalgleish (talk) 10:53, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha. You never wrote a critique of this article. You wrote a useless paragraph showing off your pedantry and self-satisfaction with your own style. You said absolutely zilch about the topic of this article, which you probably never even "took the trouble" to read. If you are unsatisfied with the contents of an article, you know the solution: edit it yourself! You can find some advice here. best, -- Womtelo (talk) 19:59, 25 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Listening examples

[edit]

The article seems well explained but there's no substitute for listening. I am wary of going off and listening to random things that "might" be hocket. Can we have some suggestions of recordings to listen to (I appreciate sourcing opensource examples is not necessarily easy)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.9.229 (talk) 11:45, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What is a hocket?

[edit]

I don't understand the definition. Is every chorus in pop music a hocket? If I hum do re mi, is that a hocket? 184.166.140.236 (talk) 02:24, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a sentence?

[edit]

"As alternating or trading melodies between instruments had well been developed earlier in time to eventually influence the medieval usage of the technique." What is the subject, and what is the verb (of the main clause)? 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:D40A:A821:2D62:2553 (talk) 02:28, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it - it was uncited and, as you note, garbled. Thanks - Antandrus (talk) 03:16, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
