Dreamt last night that there was a concert series run by an eccentric guy who'd ask musicians what rep they always have more or less ready to go and then book them to play that two weeks before the concert.

Okay, now I understand why the collective noun for cicadas is "a tired cello section."

A dark image of the head of a cicada, with the headline "In An Unexpected Turn Of Events, Some Cicadas Just Performed Pachelbel's Canon In D" and a footer indicating this is an image of a link to an IFLScience article.

I took this picture of my neighbor's cat last night while he was roaming the hallway unattended, a minute before he followed me INTO my apartment and I had to (gently) chase him around till he let me get close enough to scoop him up and deposit him back in the hallway.

A gray-brown cat with green eyes, slightly out of focus, on a tiled floor, looking up at the camera.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see live (these two tied)

A fake Decca record cover with the faces of the Rolling Stones placed on the members of a string quartet, posing together with their instruments.

A detail from what appears to be a medieval painting. Impossible to describe properly, but in the center is a centaur whose human half wears a green hat and plays the lute. His horse half has another full face on the rear end and blows a natural trumpet, which protrudes from his, umm, mouth. Another grotesque figure in the background appears to be a monkey playing a bagpipe while sitting on either a tree stump or a large drum.

It's-a me, Stockhausen. (Dreamt that I said that to a friend and we both laughed uncontrollably for minutes.)

Is this also a platform to share exciting professional news? Because I found out last week I'm getting a NYSCA commission!

Okay, I'm going to make an effort to post more of my own stuff here than in the old place! Here's a bit of my piece Trace (2013) from recital prep this past September:

one thing i will insert into the debate about leaving Twitter is that the idea of the "internet public square"--where everyone all has to be on one app engaging with everyone else--is an invention of tech companies (and the billionaires who run them) seeking constant growth

Dreamt last night that there was a new fad of writing 7th chords without the 7th (called "sevless" I think). Turned out it was a voice-leading trick involving a pedal point and didn't make much sense. Made even less when I woke up.

Has anyone else noticed that the opening of Prokofiev's second piano concerto is almost a retrograde of the opening of Brahms's second piano concerto, or am I late to the party?

Found this years-old Henle catalog inserted in a score, and tbh I'm kinda bummed I missed out on the Balakirev sale.
