is it just me or does nostalgia sometimes feel haunting? like... it's a lovely reminder of a pleasant time/perspective long past, yet it's persistently haunting that you'll never find it again. a snapshot of an era you deeply crave to return to, permanently out of reach. anyway happy thursday LMAO

very frustrating that none of my favorite activities are reliably lucrative. could've been passionate about computer science or finance, but i'm cursed to be passionate about music and learning scottish gaelic instead

alright, bandcamp, maybe say that BEFORE i write them all out rather than get saucy w me after the fact

A screenshot from the Bandcamp website where I'm given the option to add multiple genre tags. After entering around 8 tags, I receive error text saying "OK, settle down. Please limit yourself to 5 tags, no more."

today's thing to overthink: to find work, what is the ideal ratio of "able to write music in any style/genre" to "having my own distinct artistic sound"

i love learning languages, but my own tribal language (yoruba) is probably the toughest that i've studied. "ni" is a form of "to be", but "ní" means "to have" AND "in/at" "mo" is regular "i", but "mọ" is "to know" "n" is the negative form of "i", but "ń" is the present progressive tense marker

i've seen a lot of negativity on this in the past few years but i'm gonna be honest..... i love "wonderful christmastime". it's one of my season faves. the synths are fun and it's goofy and it puts a smile on my face. forgive my whimsy

this takes a lot of inspo from animal crossing OSTs, btw! - pop dominant voicings (sus11 or sus13 slash chords, e.g. Fmaj7/G or Bb/C) - unresolved (often dominant function) chords sustained on weak beats - tonicization/modal interchange, pedal tones analyzing and writing it is so much fun...

Feelin vulnerable; maybe others can relate to this: My biggest artistic struggle at this point in my career is letting myself try. I'm deathly afraid to let myself create anything potentially less than my best work yet. 🧵 (1/7)

The game industry is rough right now for a lot of people. It sucks. Business can be brutal. But I don't believe that means WE should be brutal. Times like these are all the more reason to be kind to one another. If we give up our humanity in order to survive, what is the point of survival?

As I've watched anime over the years, I've come to find that opening themes with chord progressions that involve modal interchange or end with an extended chord tend to give me more nostalgia! So, like a nerd, I decided to analyze a few LMAO #music | #musictheory | #musiccomposition | #animation

As a composer, my long-term goal has always been writing for a feature-length animated film. But with my experience creating and directing L'Allunaggio del Lupo... now I want to direct more music-focused animated media. Maybe a concept album of some sort, or a narrative suite!

I don't have much to post yet, but here are some stills from my senior capstone film, "L'Allunaggio Del Lupo"! It's about a wolf that falls in love with the moon and builds a rocket to fly there and be with it forever. 🐺🌕 The team is currently polishing it to submit to festivals! ✨
