I love the concept of typing in 7/8 and am going to do my own experiments with meter and emailing
(It's amazing how many emails you can send when you're typing in 7/8, by the way)
I've spent several hours listening to Rush today (everything from A Farewell to Kings, now up to Moving Pictures). Other than a couple of the catchier & dubiously Ayn Rand-ian tunes, I couldn't tell you a single thing they're singing about. Vocals don't matter at all, just part of the arrangement

75’ Saturations

The second transmission from ECLCL, my collaboration with Eldlin Cope, in guitar conversation bending space and time.

I've always thought this, but I just wanted to say... @musicologess.bsky.social is really the Bluesky Laureate of #NACVGM.

Anyway, enjoying SMT/AMS 2025!

Back to back conference blitz is a lot; I'm still recovering from Game Sound Con travel last week and I'm turning right around to drive to Minneapolis with colleagues for AMS/SMT!
