Do you ever write a whole ass piece and realize you’ve given nothing to Bassoon 2 or Trumpet 3? 😂

Trombone concerto coming along nicely! Way ahead of schedule, and feeling better and better about it day by day.

Started out today by making a reasonable goal for a short work day: write a secondary theme for the first movement of this trombone concerto. Within 5 mins I realized I just needed to spin out some transition material into a full theme. Took 10 mins. Now I’m FLYING past my original goal for 2day 💅

Annika Socolofsky @aksoco.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I think I might have actually successfully de-corned my trombone concerto. There’s still a bit of sap, for sure, but not quite dekalb 🌽

I looked up the full text of 4834 and Illinois is straight up refusing to acknowledge testosterone as a controlled substance or track prescriptions of it and will destroy any such existing records. This is really great!

Someone just unironically said to me: “I’m a republican. I’m in the middle.” Sir, what?

Profoundly sad (and angry) about today's SCOTUS ruling against transgender athletes. The bigotry and racism of several recent rulings are hard to absorb. My heart goes out to transgender people and their families, especially the parents of transgender kids (I know many). I feel your sadness today.

Just a women’s sports fan out here routing for whatever men’s team doesn’t have a known rapist on it. God, I hate men’s sports.

Is it possible to write something for trombone that isn’t at least a little bit cheesy?

Ok, I’ll admit it, I have no idea what the difference is between a ritardando and a rallentando

The erasure of the women’s game in this World Cup is SENDING me. J. David does not have the most goals all time for Canada (40), Christine Sinclair has 190 international goals for Canada. Messi does not have the most World Cup goals of all time (16), Marta has 17. DO BETTER.

Niche, thought-provoking documentaries on Netflix that aren’t about men athletes?

Something I’d like to do this summer is make a short series of video tutorials on how to put materials together when applying to opportunities. It’s an access issue where, especially folks who didn’t attend a traditional music program, have barriers to entry outside of even just application fees 1/2

Hot take, but using someone’s image in an AI generator without their consent is really unethical

Giving this a little bump to see if anyone in my network knows what going rates for hour admin are. Thank you! 🙏

What is a reasonable hourly rate for someone working as an assistant to a composer? I have no idea what going admin rates are, and am hiring someone for a fixed amount of work over the summer.

Having spent more time on public transit in the last 3 days than I have in the last year, it was a rude reminder of how men perceive women’s bodies as movable and malleable—never with consent.

A friend sent me this auto reply she got from a German colleague and I couldn’t possibly feel more seen! Ladies and Gentlemen I am on parental leave. Your message will not be read or answered. Kind regards, [name redacted]

In our neighborhood in Boulder, you can very accurately predict a household’s political leanings by how conformist, bland, and trendy their house color is. Navy with wood beams on front porch? Trump sticker on car. Monochrome black with cement planters? Trump duck in Jeep.

Flau’jae is so damn ready for the W. She’s incredible.

Women: [play sports] Me: YES! Be strong! Be fierce! Be everything society tells you not to be!!! Men: [play sports] Me: Congrats.

Commencement is this weekend. Last year’s commencement was the first time a parent didn’t mistakenly congratulate me on graduating—despite my garishly orange Princeton robe clashing with CU’s black and gold. Hoping I can maintain my streak… any tips on how to appear old and crotchety are welcome.

Annika Socolofsky @aksoco.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

The semester is officially over, which means my parental leave is up. I’m really looking forward to hooding two incredible doctoral students as they graduate on Saturday. It’s as much of a rite of passage for me as it is for them. 💛🖤
