Just learned that I am now considered a Canadian citizen through my very Irish great-grandmother being born in Canada 👀… might spend some of August getting my application together

We would absolutely love to have u over soon! Let’s make a plan:)

Andddd a caprese on my grandma’s royal albert plates. Salted the tomatoes and emulsified the tomato water w balsamic and olive oil.

Showed her our fav pasta shape, sorpresine! Hand shapes are v fun and are being lost to time, excited to share them:).

Had one of the first years over for a pasta and app making night:)

My question is—should u interact w an ai bot

!! They also love learning about bit and sample rates! Demonstrating the differences via recording and playing back in class really is a joy.

And taught my electronic music course all about microphones. Did a lil tech demo w the AKG 414 in bi, the sennheiser 8040 cardiod, 8020 in Omni, and ofc the shure sm57.

we also made ravioli this weekend in pink vodka and saag paneer w naan

Made my partner some breakfast:). Vanilla French toast with a raspberry-balsamic jam and lime zest whipped cream.

Aaaaand I’ll be traveling all of July so see u in August

3 upcoming shows as a performer, 2 as a composer, 1 as a tech director, 3 recording sessions and 4 deadlines before June 18th! Plus teaching and finishing my language requirement! Exciting next couple of months!! See yall in July 😂😭

Damn, absolutely gorgeous. The first album that turned me onto her work in 2010 something was, Henderson’s The Elements. I’m excited. It seems like the biography she always deserved.

Anndddd I made a polenta egg breakfast dish w lime zest and things aaaand a pozole

Ahh partner also bought me a book that I’ve had on my list for a min. Doesn’t it look the most readable?

These are all my life updates.

Also I got into something today (also was rejected from another thing today) that was very exciting. On track for my hot girl European summer.

First week alone is a banger

In class we will start each week with a brief listening and a discussion on aesthetics that bridges some gaps between experimental and pop:)

And the listening is fun! A lot of classics like “it’s gonna rain,” Radigue, Varese, Spiegel, but also so many people whose work I adore like Nemstov, Cleare, Applebaum, Iannotta, Moor Mother and others.

My first electronic music course is coming up next week! I’m proud of the syllabus and what I’m ready to show them.

Histories of speakers and microphones and how they influence our listening, field recordings, sampling, electronic instruments, multichannel audio, Derrida, semiotics….

Cousin w a law degree was posting some weird right wing shit and now I have him reading kropotkin

Ach. sounds like the typical social media these days, at least in my sightline.

Also is Bsky active, I’ve been pretty horrible at checking socials

Last week I was rejected from a call w a nice email about future programming and they are already following up with a very nice email 🥺🥺🥺.

How did I only find out today that the Barlow prize was through BYU and why does everything circle back to the m*rmons

Being at the whatever-you-call-this career stage is an odd place

I jokingly said, “eep, let them know my fee just doubled!!” 😂

Ever get a rejection email from a person where you are on a phone call with the ED of your ensemble talking about the show you are producing with said rejecter?

Yeah, it was real fucked up. I actually laughed when they were talking to me. Feel like I have an fbi agent in my phone rn.
