Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 08/09/2026Here's my every-few-months update for this platform: I started my doctorate about a month ago and am giving the first of my three degree-required recitals in a couple of weeks! I'll post a livestream link closer to the date: I hope you can tune in :) 011

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 20/06/2026I wrote a piece called “Scenes from a Summer Countryside” for my master’s recital. This was inspired by the art style of Studio Ghibli films, and was a fun project to write without referencing the scores in those movies! Full recording: youtu.be/H-4bFHXgorQ?... 020

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 02/06/2026Hi Bluesky, it's been a minute. I finished my master's degree last month, and will be starting my doctorate in jazz composition this fall! (Please hire me if you have composition/arranging gigs, grad school is expensive). 020
Reposted by Eric LadishProg XP @progxp.band · 10/03/2026Happy #Mar10 Day! Our favorite Mario memory is easily performing "Break Free" from SMO at @magfest.org with an 11-piece band @christianrmusic.bsky.social @allisonmartintrombone.com @ericltrombone.com after 6 years of dreaming this tune up! We're racing for the goal and no one can stop us now 🍄 0113
Reposted by Eric LadishAllison Martin ♪ @allisonmartintrombone.com · 06/03/2026Everyone, I have an original EP. It's called Aoede Hums, and I've been using it as my personal anthem for almost four years to celebrate my uniqueness and validity as a musician and as a human. It's dedicated to my dad, who passed away last year but always supported me and my music. Please enjoy. 13921

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 01/12/2025Some life updates besides Split Screen at JEN: -I have one semester left in my master’s degree at UNT -I’ve written more music than I have been able to keep track of this year -I’m one more godawful development in AI away from starting a movement to publicly shame AI users at every possible turn 130
Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 20/11/2025Absolutely wild to me that in about a month and a half, I'll be bringing @splitscreenvgm.bsky.social to JEN to perform video game music... If you told the version of me from 10 years ago that had just started arranging video game music THIS is where it'd take him, he wouldn't believe you. 140

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 02/08/2025If I had a dollar for every time I came across an Instagram reel or TikTok including incorrectly transcribed or poorly engraved sheet music, I could retire. I feel like if you’re going to put a transcription out into the world, you should feel a responsibility to make sure it’s accurate! 120
Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 10/07/2025Today I’ve researched quantum mechanics, Japanese poetry, and the lore of Neon Genesis Evangelion. How is anime from the 90s the most dense of those three things? 160
Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 28/06/2025📢 Announcement! I'm interested in writing music for games, so I thought it might be a good idea to just... write some video game music.

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 26/06/2025I've known so many musicians for so many years, and somehow Spotify was the way I finally found out that I would like Polyphia. If I like Polyphia, what else have I been missing out on? 130
Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 24/06/2025Finished the show this morning: if the goal was to make the viewer feel what one of Joe's victims feels over 5 seasons, I think the show does a great job. If that wasn't the goal, I feel like the writing alters Joe's character in a way that feels misaligned with the initial premise of the show. 110

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 27/05/2025Just finished season 1 of "You" on Netflix: I think it would be so neat to have a little box like Joe does in the basement of the bookstore, even if I have no real need or use for it. It just seems like a fun little hidey-hole. 010

Eric Ladish @ericltrombone.com · 15/05/2025I still can't believe I get paid to write and arrange music for people. Sometimes it's a slog, but a lot of the time it genuinely still blows my mind that I can get paid to have as much fun as I do working on these projects. 050
