iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I went back over my handwritten notes. I tried to be neat... I'm grateful that digital notation is a thing. Measures all uneven, stems lookin crazy I forgot how cool it is to handwrite music. Bonus that it's also much faster for me. Music writers, give it a go. Reconnect with the music.

There's a really loud noise outside, so I can't really work right now. It's coming through my noise-cancelling headphones, but it stopped right as I started typing this sentence, lol

Another thing that's come up today is very interesting: corrections. Do you keep the mistakes in with the transcription or do you correct them? There's an argument to be made for both, but I personally go with what will be easier/"more natural" to perform. I'll make a note if I change anything.

I'm a little behind, but I wanted to post that. Back to work!🫡

So, this is kind of getting into some of what I was talking about yesterday. These are all the same measure transcribed in different ways (ignore 8vb). #1 for me reads more like an outline #2 for me is like a sketch #3 is like the drawing itself You can add and fluidly interpret with less detail.

3 versions of the same measure. (Ignore 8vb). They all can be interpreted in different ways, but the lower down you go, the less wiggle room there is.

I was looking at transcriptions of really old songs from enslaved Africans and Native Americans, and they are very legible and clean. But then you look at the performance notes and they left out stuff to keep the notation simple. Accessibility vs accuracy has been on my mind all day today.

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 15/07/2026

Part of the reason I'm posting about it is because I think I might have to talk about it at some point, and these posts might help me remember stuff I don't take notes on or record in my journal. Idk when I'll get to share it though. Hopefully this year!🍀🍀🍀

Okay, so... The primary goal of music preservation is accurately keeping the music for the future. But black music is a little different. One of the dilemmas I'm facing is to keep the accuracy of the notes vs the accuracy of the "feeling." The soul of the pieces.

Guys, I'm taking on a huge black music preservation project! I'm so excited, but also... this is a really big project... I'm not gonna let imposter syndrome stop me! It's too important!

The courts can't overrule what the people directly vote for in a referendom. A question is placed before the people in plain language and the people vote (including the judges). It would be super rigged if a handfull of the people who vote on it can just make whatever option they want the law.

I wonder if since the bar is now super high to prove racism in gerrymandering, can't we just redraw the districts in favor of Black, Latino, and Indigenous people instead? It's always against, so now it can be for and with a random reason. Population shift or one of the usual excuses.

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 06/04/2026

It's a valid concern. "Why would an all-powerful, all-loving god allow the such evils as we are seeing in the world they created? Why are the innocent suffering and the sinners thriving?" To dismiss it with the implication that you'll go to hell for questioning god is just so out of touch.

A compromise for the early text convo: Schedule the text. That way the early texter can send the text early, and the sleeping beauty can get it when they wake up.

I need all of them. They're like different colors we use to paint our lives. Too much or too little isn't interesting, but the whole spectrum in the tapestry of your life is a beautiful story!

Not really about pride Thick and Morty (see thread below). I don't think you believed what you were defending. I could see from the way you interacted with me, how you'd contradict yourself, and when you deleted your posts. Sometimes a conversation can help us see, but you just wanted to win.

What do you want? I gave the "winner of the internet argument award." You win. Great job. Woo.

We can't live by having people shun, deny, and erase their humanity. That's what got us here. The system is broken. It has been for a very long time. Ways of thinking rooted in that system will only perpetuate it. I look forward to a future where people are people and not assets/capital.

Wow, posting on a public forum, the internet, and having people respondto it publically? How dare they?

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

You just want to win. So here.🏅 Congrats. I'm sure your boss is proud. Some of this generation watched our parents have this mentality and go nowhere. Some of us practiced this mentality and have nothing to show for it except emotional scars and mental breakdowns. It's good some people wised up.

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

You assume a lot of things about me too, but it's fine. I apologize for any offence I caused on that front. Feel free to correct the record and I'll adjust, but that's not what this is about. You didn't say anything about getting further in life until recently. Please re-read your first comment.

000

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

You can treat people how you want to. They are free to respond (or not in your case) in kind. I just think it's weird that you expect the worker to keep up the veneer even when the customer has clearly dropped it. Because a good manager would kick a bad customer out as soon as fire a bad employee.

010

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

I apologize. In the interaction/scenario, I assumed that you were the customer. But if you're the customer service rep, your argument is really strange. You think it's okay to be treated poorly for no reason and that it's fine to be expected to just take that? Okay, but I don't want to do that.

000

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

Yes, you should be nice first since you started the interaction with them. They didn't call you or walk up to you. I'm just having a conversation with you, my guy. You're taking it all personal. I've not said anything rude to you. It's about MUTUAL respect. You should practice irl too.

000

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

"The game" is everybody's tired of the game. You're not part of the main cohort playing, but you want to dictate the rules? And it's got nothing to do with money since the workers are essentially saying, "I don't care about the money, you get the energy you give." You're talking about money.

000

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

People don't become robots just because you start paying them. And no, you don't have to be friendly towards anybody. You should be professional, that's wise if you want to keep your job, but being friendly isn't something you can mandate and have it performed consistently.

000

Cymphoni Fantastique @thee-tonique.blacksky.app · 22/03/2026

I only qt you because you have replies off and because I thought it was an important thing to talk about. Sure, everyone has worked in customer service, but who's working/who's off in the scenario you're talking about? It's not about liking the job, it's about mutual respect and humanity.

This is one of the ways it looks to value the humans that work for you. There are many more ways, but even something like this makes people feel valued and more whole.

I started reading Cool. Awkward. Black. - a collection of stories, and I feel so seen!😭😭😭 It's so heartfelt and just...captures "that feeling." Being in and out of the club at the same time (?). I wish I had this book growing up. Kid me needed this desperately. Better late than never, I guess.🥲

1/? SPOILERS: I didn't get to see "Sinners" while it was at the theater because life was so busy. But I made a comment yesterday about how an analogy could be made between Remmick, the first vampire seen in the film and these so-called "leftists" we see in politics.

- Be an airport - Hire people with an employment contract that stipulates a wage FROM THE EMPLOYER - Decide you don't want to pay employees (but still pay executives) - Mandate employees come to work without pay or lose jobs (difference?) - That's bad PR so you make it worse by asking for donations

...can we finally get that artist and customer boycott going? It's probably easier for smaller artists and indie labels to be more selective about venue and vendors, but the fans can always make their voices heard and absence felt. Also, isn't there supposed to be an anti-monopoly law somewhere?

PLEASE don't play with high blood pressure. It's the silent killer for a reason. If it's bad enough to take medicine, the small time stuff won't work. It's like hand soap vs bleach. If you're going to clean up something foul, you really about to pour vanilla lavender on it and call it clean?
