97 minutes of music done and it's a wrap. After many months of hard work, my score for the #indiefilm feature, Kate Hugo, is complete www.katehugo.com
I was treated to a breakfast snack from daughter, and a special bottle of somethin' from wifey. It's all so satisfying. Hello weekend.

Earlier this month, I rode a float in the Rose Bowl Parade in order to celebrate Star Trek's 60th Anniversary. I can't believe it's been so long. So much has changed, but our message of holding space for everybody remains at the forefront. (Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images for Paramount+)

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

#introduction I'm a composer and multi-instrumentalist focused on exploring the intersection of precise #composition, subtle #melody and improvisational #noise.
Or I make #DroneNoise sound nice. Take your pick.
I’m terrible at social media but figured Bluesky would be a welcoming place to start.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.
Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

Many composer friends have moved here; I've been busy & absent. Are you a composer who works with graphical notation? A small clip of your work (especially handwritten) would be welcome for an upcoming book on my notational aesthetic. DM/email with clip, 100-word description, and permission. Thanks!

If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

for anyone new to bluesky or just struggling to make their timeline better, here’s my tip:
follow a bunch of artists that you like and whenever they repost cool art, follow that artist too
soon your timeline will be a steady stream of wonderful art interspersed with news updates on the horrors

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹
They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.

Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

This. One sale on Bandcamp nets me more than I made the entire time I was on Spotify. And yeah, I’d rather give my music away than support ICE recruiting and combat drones.
This is 100% false. Most artists (literally every one I have discussed this with) would rather you pirate our music than listen to it on Spotify et al. Why? Because a) a lot of us just want to be heard, profit notwithstanding & even more b) because if WE aren't gonna make money, no tech bro should!
yes, I know Spotify is a horrible company that uses its money to make bombs and kill people with said bombs, and Spotify's CEO and shareholders should die, but there is literally no better alternative that doesnt send me into bankruptcy
once a better alternative shows up, though, im jumping ship
