TORONTO RAVEL STUDY meets in-person at The Tranzac Club
292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto
This Month’s Special Guest
Doug Wilde has been a Toronto Ravel participant since it’s first meeting in 2013. Once again, we welcome Doug back as a guest presenter.
Doug has previously taken us through the world of hexachords, the primary subject of his doctoral dissertation at York University. In this presentation, he will talk about how to compose using these and other non-traditional scales and harmony, and how to incorporate them into work of all kinds, cinematic and otherwise. This will tie in nicely with our study of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” which is full of these types of compositional materials.
Doug’s talk is part of our ongoing series of presentations designed to provide composers with practical tools and alternate methods of work.
Doug is Music Director for the fusion band Manteca, and is currently in production on a new album of original material called “Vividly Ambiguous.”

NEW ADVENTURES IN LISTENING – Film clips from “On The Waterfront” and “Ryan” are posted on the “Study Materials” page for download. With the sound removed, they can be scored as an exercise, and brough in to “Adventures in Listening” for feedback and analysis. Adventures in Listening is a unique opportunity to get unbiased and honest feedback on your ‘in-progress’ or experimental work from a community of your professional peers. Because it is anonymous, it is a risk-free environment. Whether you are an emerging composer or an experienced one, and whether your work is for concert or screen, I encourage you to take advantage of this invaluable resource.
