Are you being “““nice"““TM? or should you maybe take care of your own needs in this moment
DS9 but it’s an introspective reharmonization
Viola was curious about the piano tonight =)
Hot-shot singers: try my Defying Gravity challenge =P
I wish I could have been in the room with the storyboard artists for Arcane. So many of these shots are so well-considered and dripping with subtext to serve the dialogue. It’s a real treat to watch
“Like munchkins, so small-minded.” I’ve been listening since 2009? and that line has NEVER sat right. Or course it’s a clever rhyme, but it’s also a racist sentiment (‘all munchkins have narrow worldviews’) that comes out of nowhere. I don’t think Schwartz thought that one through.
What a cute boy
Seeing Wicked in roughly 1hr. I expect to be either disappointed or dazzled with no inbetween
I made a turkey crust topper for our homemade pumpkin pie, out of the dough scraps. =)
My studio hours today have left me exhausted on the couch, but that’s just fine with Chopin.

You may recall I was working on a practice piece based structurally on Beethoven 7 mvmt 2. This morning I completed section A2.
It took some effort to make sure my melody was rhythmically and tonally coherent given the 5/4 meter (I can’t help myself) and my harmonic style. I’m satisfied for now with the result.

Good problems: I want to watch Arcane season 2, but I’ve been spending a lot of time in the composing studio and haven’t made space for it yet!
OH MY GOD FINALLY
Just learned a Yiddish insult: “May all your teeth fall out except one to give you a toothache.” Break it out this Thanksgiving! =)
When I was in school I intentionally developed more ornate handwriting to keep my neighbors from copying me. I feel like that has translated over to my choice of phone keyboard actually (Typewise btw, it’s super great)
I whipped up a 30s demo track last night and actually cold emailed a potential client! Making career moves instead of just staying in the studio is uncomfortable but good
Something I started writing today. More on this in my latest longform post =)
I’m nervous but proud to share my first composer demo reel! I’ve included the SoundCloud link below, or you can listen on my website, clementcomposer.com. More to come! =)
Getting over the fear–by end of day I’m finalizing my composer resume and reel. Aaaaa!
