celani mori @celanimori.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Usually 15 seconds of original music is all I can manage at a time, without harmony. So smashing out almost three minutes is…a really good feeling. 000

celani mori @celanimori.bsky.social · 09/04/2026should I have risked startling a living neighbor by wearing all black at twilight, concert attire darker than the evening around me probably not 010
celani mori @celanimori.bsky.social · 09/04/2026“why is there mud on your concert shoes” because I went for a walk. because the sky was pink. because the stars whispered awake one by one and I gazed upon Venus, bright as a sun, haloed by moths with my back to a tree and thought, star-gazed, fresh from the stage, how quickly life can change. 142

celani mori @celanimori.bsky.social · 05/04/2026While both musicians and demolitionists may use the term “C4,” they are usually referring to completely different subjects, and one is not often in danger while visiting the orchestra. In the case of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, however… 011
