So excited to announce that I am collaborating with New Works Project on two consortiums for a pair of companion pieces: Epitaph (for organ) and Evocations II (for viola and piano). These works will be based on our most ancient musical relics, the Epitaph of Seikilos and the Delphic Hymn to Apollon.

Had a busy 2023 and looking forward to an awesome 2024! Can't wait to announce some projects in the new year and looking foward to creating more gay shit! :) 🎧

So excited for Dimension 20 Fantasy High: Junior Year in January! Husband and I have already carved out Saturday nights to hook up the laptop to the TV and watch together and make it our date night, and I'm so excited.

So I can't make any official announcements but have a conversation with a friend today about a commission project that could end up taking my work to far and distant lands. We're not even close to drafting a contract yet, but already, the pressure to overthink things leaves me in a stupor.

Feel so nice to have all my Christmas stuff up. Feel nice and cozy. :)

Really happy to announce that I was recently named Chair of the Abundant Silence Publication Review committee. It is an honor and privilege to get to give back to the community and help lift up voices in new music. Cannot wait to get to work in the coming new year. 🎧

Let's talk about happy gay media, and why some gay people really, really, hate it... and why they're justified.

No joke, a bit more than half of the images that I reverse image search, images that I got from Google or other websites, and I know exist elsewhere on the internet, we'll come back with having no results. But you know what pops up? products similar to things that are pictured in the image. 🙃
Google killing image search is so funny its a fundamental misunderstanding of why one searches for images. looking for references historic moments, anatomy, places, artists works?? No, people just want to see "duck with human legs" and other nonsense prompts. goodbye reality.

Had a really good night. Great stream (I got 55 followers now!), did a lot of good composition work, made a good dinner, and listening to Dimension 20 while sipping an Anita Bryant. Such a perfect day.

That feeling where you're just like "Can you please let me know the results of the competition so I can get on with feeling the rejection for real already?"

So excited to announce my newest commission, in partnership with Charlotte House Series KC and Latitude 39, my new piece, The Green Lady (working title) will premiere July 20th, 2024 in KC MO! Big thanks to @nickmaysax.bsky.social for helping this project get off the ground and I cannot wait! 🎧

Decided to set up a new Insta and Threads account specifically for my twitch streaming stuff. Give me a follow over there if you would like to know when I'm streaming. Going to stream later tonight (5 pm CT) and will be finishing up my Pokemon Yellow run :)

Just getting into watching Heartstopper (I know, I'm forever behind on things) and here I am, grown queer in my thirties, gushing over this show. It's so UwU it hurts, but I'm totally here for it.

Had to restart but back with my stream! Continuing my modded Pokémon Yellow. Let's go for badge 5!

OMG Just got 30 followers on Twitch. :) This actually makes me so excited. I know it's not a lot, but I've been enjoying streaming on the weekends and I got 5 followers in the past 48 hours so that makes me happy.

How do I keep doing this to my self. I included an obvious "stretch goals" proposal for a commission and now that I keep expanding on it the more I feel like I'm setting myself up for dissapointment when they inevitably don't pick it. Such is the life of an artist: my eyes bigger than their budgets.
August 20, 2023 at 4:29 AM
Can't announce it yet officially, but I am getting a commission here soon. It need to work up the proposal and work out the financials. So excited!

Streaming Pokémon Yellow (modded) join in and let me know what Pokémon you want me to name you after!
