counterpoint: hoyt-schermerhorn is more of a dream/fugue state than a real place. very thin barrier with reality just by vibes alone

this is at least Kash Patel's second day at the mythological rodeo

That was my first thought, but then I imagined a bruckheimer/bay balrog movie 🍿

There's a strong chance it'll make it a lot harder for the next yo-yo ma to succeed, and that it'll reduce the opportunities for all musicians at an even now accelerated pace then we've been seeing

Especially for music! It's an art and primarily an analog tradition, especially at a conservatory specializing in classical instruments. Why throw away its strengths for nothing?

Dhalsim movie by the team that did RRR please. A Zangief movie directed by Tarkovsky would also be a dream. Could we have Wes Anderson do a Guile movie also, as a treat?

Told an upper management person at my school that generative ai will only hurt students and has no place in learning music so on to the next school I guess 😂 "well that's one view" they said. "It's the correct one" I said. I don't think I'll ever learn

the familiar pull of unreality, when you find yourself unmoored in the present

Social media should break more often tbh

Jaws.

I got hit by a car once but I was totally fine. I must be autoimmune

as long as he stays away from Ghost Quartet we're cool.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

like seriously, in a chamber setting trombone is not that loud without a mute - and any attempt to solve a musical issue (playing sensitively and balanced) with a technical issue (put a mute on it!) before hearing it live is so often misguided.

composers don't just put a harmon mute on the trombone in a chamber piece to "balance" it - it will not work the way u think it does. 99% of the time from the loadbang call for scores chamber pieces that I hear it just makes the trombone inaudible compared to everything else.

a weird belief that is held across basically all sectors of American life is that boy dollars and boy votes are better than girl dollars and girl votes and so if you have a lot of the latter you need to be constantly trying to exchange them for the former

dear democrat leaders @schumer.senate.gov et al. what is the point of affordability if we're in an evil country being led by evil people?

It's just really one battle after another for the poor guy

orchestras sounded better when the players were worse

Making some silly sounds

magritte the treachery of images

"not Boston"

microsoft outlook huh? they didn't need a copilot, they needed Clippy

thinking pulisic shouldn't actually be on the world cup team

that's awesome!

Snickers or Reeses. Pop tarts are a good build around though

Could be that too! Also looks very brawl/commander orientated

maybe they took the 5 least crafted cards from the previous pool and replaced them with the five most crafted cards in the wild that weren't already in the pool or in standard

i played for Lydia Tár, who is definitely real, a few times in nyc back in the day. solid conductor, gave the trombones a solo bow once

next month, emperor palpatine!
