Sketching. Blueprints for something Christmasy?
Spot me at the Seattle Indies holiday party tonight =)
There was a big celebration when that bounty hunter got eaten by the Sarlaac. It was a Boba Fête
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
