I play sax, bassoon, and other woodwind instruments. Always happy to talk classical music, jazz, and music industry stuff with the skyfolk.

The bedrock of democracy is the ability to disagree peacefully. The Utah County Democratic Party unequivocally condemns the use of political violence directed at Charlie Kirk and anyone else. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Kirk’s family and with the Utah Valley University community.

BREAKING: The new MMORPG project from Zenimax Online Studios, maker of Elder Scrolls Online, has been canceled as part of the Xbox layoffs, sources tell Bloomberg News. The project, code-named Blackbird, had been in development since 2018. Still more news to come this morning.

Looking up production companies for my work as a music supervisor, and I came across this logo. It's now my favorite company name/logo combination I've ever seen.

Got my music royalty statement today - an old track I wrote was used in a Portuguese soap opera. I don't know why, but the idea is just so amusing to me.

The guitar player in our pit orchestra complimented my playing and said I reminded him of the bari sax player from Tower of Power.
To be even mildly compared to the Funky Doctor is genuinely one of the best compliments I could ever receive!

I'm bad at publicly sharing things I do. So to correct that, here's a thing I do:
I occasionally do freelance work helping music stores, orchestras, and other music people with marketing things. Mostly web design, content writing for blogs or product pages, and some other stuff.

Had a blast subbing for Jersey Boys at a local theatre this weekend. Always a treat to play shows with friends and see familiar faces in the audience.

My favorite part of this is talking about Disney Adults as if they're some uncontacted tribe still living in the rainforest.
For the record, Disney Adults™ are actually very weird, but in a very nuanced way that can only be deciphered after years of living among them and studying them.

Facebook keeps recommending AI videos of animals laying eggs/pooping out/giving birth to unholy creatures, and I'm just wondering what I did to deserve this.

As a woodwind player, this little Fix-It tool is one of my favorite gadgets to keep in my case. One side is a screwdriver, pretty straightforward.
But the other is a hook for when those pesky needle springs slip out of place.

Just uninstalled 250+ GB worth of samples and virtual instruments from my hard drive. Mostly a bunch of stuff from Native Instruments Komplete that I never intend on using. Felt so good!
