Violinist, composer, indie musician. Too punk for classical, too well-trained for folk. I play what I like. There are no other rules.

The Lady came back to another concert, sitting on the front row reading James Patterson.

I hope I am that cool one day.
tonight’s concert was for

the baby girl who brought her soft doll and plush bunny

and the white-haired lady who sat alone at the very front with a book to keep her company and blew a kiss to the orchestra at the end

and everyone else, I guess.

I walk into the music store. There is a new clerk at the desk. She says hello. I wish her good morning. It is 3 p.m.

when you get back late from rehearsal
(exhausted)
but it's 10 p.m. and Hozier is on the radio and you have a honeycrisp apple
and suddenly
life isn't perfect, but it is very, very good.

@bookmarkedone.bsky.social : (stabs hand) oh I should write some music

this is *not* the inspiration for stabby song we requested
"Literature and Light Stabbing" is probably the most bookmarkedone thing I've posted in a while.

...also would be a great name for a @celanimori.bsky.social project...
So I've just stabbed myself. Accidentally.

I got distracted talking about books and sent the knife the wrong direction.

...don't...don't try to catch a knife when it's falling...don't do that...

(don't worry!! I am ok!! I had to look carefully to see if it even nicked me)

Heard someone mention "jack of all trades/master of none" recently.

...

clearly whoever invented this phrase never met bards.

I think we should make a habit of saying nice things about different music fandoms.

Swifties could overthrow empires with the power of friendship bracelets. Hozier fans have a solemn respect for porridge and moss. Classical music listeners have the dedication to loop one song for 275 years.

Vague music update? Posted.
Outer space? Scored.

Stay tuned…something new is coming. ;)
just quietly contemplating

So after an accidental month-long blog hiatus (blame the misadventures of @celanimori.bsky.social ), I find not only have you lovely nosy readers kept yourselves busy by reading the archive of old posts,

someone dredged one up all the way from 2021 that I'd entirely forgotten.
The Sad Life of a Grammar Snob
So I’m workshopping short stories this week. I love workshops. I love the energy, the creative flow, the fresh perspectives you get from throwing writers together and saying “Go!”…

#Musician Life:

me: yeah, so I listened to one of my recordings today and I didn't hate it! :3

literally any sane non-musician, crying: what is wrong with you?

don’t mind me
I’m just drinking tea and listening to a piano trio composed for a long-dead teenage prince
and wondering if it made him happy.

overthinking an audition outfit
it’s a blind audition
literally zero of the jurors will even see my shoes during the selection process
why do we do this

playing “is that phantom flute music or a pre-audition stress-induced auditory hallucination”

for once, phantom musicians are more likely.
The bagpiper stopped in at elevensies today and played “Amazing Grace” for ghosts and garret. :)
Happy bagpiper morning to Bluesky. :)

(I finally got to listen to it 😊)
one of my current favorite bands releases an album this week, and throughout the day my brain has been chanting

“Your Idol” is frankly genius for the way it describes the comfort we find in music.

“Every time it hurts, play another verse…”

Losing ourselves to it, bit by bit, until it’s all that matters and we’d do anything to follow the music isn’t so far fetched.
Thanks to K-POP DEMON HUNTERS, I can now imagine that every boy band of the last thirty years are secretly demons in disguise.

I know what my face looks like. But sometimes I forget until I’m seeing my own burning glare in a camera…

my personality “hey!! let’s make something beautiful :)”

my face “your regime is dead and you will fall with it. there will be no mercy even if you beg for it.”
today we would like to apologize to: cellos

for: having to sit across from my Performance Mode Scary Face.

-profession mandates a dark wardrobe
-only appear at night
-highly skilled
-paid by contract
-know everyone else in the business
-sometimes receive job offers from complete strangers
-operate on a need to know basis (learn location, objective, and compensation, but no names of other players)
there actually are a remarkable number of similarities between assassins and orchestral musicians
noticing the similarity in movement between knife sharpening and applying rosin to a violin bow
