I once described the goal of my creative process in general and my certainty-seeking ASK ALL THE THINGS queries to performers in particular as "turning infodumping into auditory stim" 😂

I think this was very much me playing with the MIDI sounds of the harp after being inspired by demonstrations of this specific low-mid register in Danielle's harp writing guide, and then checking in with her on whether I'd added anything unidiomatic. It absolutely felt like the process of stimming

I have been trying to persuade myself to write music that is explicitly conceived as being pleasing to my senses, something I've only managed a couple of times - here's an example for solo harp that I wrote for/with the assistance of @daniellekuntzharp.bsky.social youtu.be/lwPqCtcs9nI

I love this! Thank you for sharing your composition, I really enjoyed listening to it. I found it very evocative, it gave me a very rich multisensory response.

I'm curious, what was your creative process like when writing this?

This really meant so much! I had to present remotely due to my health, but with all these incredible accessibility measures in place I wish I could have been there in person! Thank you @ndhumanities.bsky.social @louisecreechan.bsky.social @drrobertchapman.bsky.social and the other organisers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As a researcher with Long Covid, I want to highlight the fact this conference encouraged mask wearing (they even provided FFP3 masks to in person attendees!!) and other viral protective measures. Clinically vulnerable people are often forgotten in academia, even in disabled circles. 3/...

...to having dedicated quiet, sensory and networking rooms, a traffic light communication system, recordings of talks, wheelchair accessible spaces, detailed guidance on what to expect, live transcripts, and many other measures! 2/..

This is brilliant, thank you!

The FOMO is real, so many interesting talks!! Yours sounded so interesting too, I look forward to watching the recording!

I'm attending remotely, but would love to grab a virtual coffee sometime (after the conference of course!) Feel free to send me a DM 🙂
