Just been over in the Bad Place, calling on the ISU to make good decisions regarding music for next season. Gonna adapt and repost here, even though ISU themselves are not on BlueSky yet, just so you have an insight into the anguished mind of a skating music editor at this time of year. :)

An appreciation post for my clients Annika Hocke and Robert Kunkel. Their current Falco FS was exceptionally hard to create and is equally hard to skate. Rap music is seldom used in pairs because it's so hard to skate to, so 👏 from me for a team who prioritised their artistic vision above all else!

I've been too ill to work for 12 of the last 24 weeks, and in between I've been packing for a house move, 500km due south, to Helsinki. It's been a pretty strange time! But I'm in the new place now, unpacking and getting healthy as fast as I can, ready to work on everyone's programs for next season.

A little public service announcement: I'm currently packing my studio into boxes to move it to a new address five hours south, in Helsinki. If your program is already on my schedule it will be done before Christmas. If not, I'll be open for business again in mid January. See you then!

Lovely to see so many #figureskating fans emigrating from Twitter this week!

skyfollowerbridge.com is a good way to find and follow some of the same people you followed on Twitter.

And if you add the ⛸️ to your FS posts they'll be collated by @reenieonice.bsky.social's splendid Figure Skating feed.

Shout out to longtime clients Dream Edges for winning 🥇 at the first Finnish synchro qualifiers. Both the music programs I made for them are infernally complicated and hugely ambitious, and I'm thrilled to see the team putting so much heart and soul into them. ⛸️ #figureskating #synchroskating

Just been listening to this podcast about music editing for competitive dance and I can thoroughly recommend it to #figureskating skaters & coaches. ⛸️ Some useful tips, and lots of strong arguments from a judge's perspective about why you should get it right. www.buzzsprout.com/1304056/epis...

What I want to know is, why is the corporate traveller powered by melon? Not coffee, not jet fuel, not their own insatiable lust for profit and power, but MELON.

Maybe capitalism works differently in Canada. Less brutal, more fruit-based. Yes, let's go with that.

OK, so if you don't know me already from The Other Place this might be a bit of a show-off way to introduce myself. 😂 But congrats to my clients Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier for winning their fifth Canadian GP in a row. I produced their music for all five wins. Having a little celebratory dance rn. 🕺

I love lifeguards, me. ❤️🤍 #piperandpaul #proudmusiceditor

A new platform, a new account, a new home for my irreverent thoughts on #figureskating music!

(laces up skates, heads out to centre ice, takes the chance to zoom around the rink and throw some shapes before the rest of Skating Twitter arrives 😎⛸️)
