carrie z @somebypaths.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Satie sample in "Near or Far" on the new Carly Rae Jepsen, and she actually seems to understand that the special Satie thing is less "soft gentle unintrusive" than "non-functional tonal harmony", which is pretty cool! good track. some fun chord progressions elsewhere on the album too. thanks Canada 030
carrie z @somebypaths.bsky.social · 13/09/2026update: memorizing remained fun & soothing. in absence of any other sort of performance chance, i decided to record the piece yesterday to mark 3 weeks since i started learning it. (spent a lot more time failing to fix a color grading problem than on the recording itself, c'est la vie.) it was fun! 110
