Didn't realize how nerve-wracking it would be to watch responses come in for a research study! I'm sure it gets better and you get less personally attached to results the more you conduct, but wow, feelings!

What's the single most perfect sound a human can hear? I think it has to be the wind rustling through the trees when there is no other noise around.

Am reading a big music information retrieval paper purportedly studying trends in musical complexity over time. But then you get in there and the data set is comprised entirely of MIDI files. So this is not a study of music, this is a study of the aspects of music that can be notated.

Starting a thread of composers who WOULD be in the classical music canon—if the genre wasn’t steeped in racism. #BlackHistoryMonth is alive! (Please add your favs…)

More than possible that I uttered the phrase "if it quacks like a II chord" in class just now. What can I say, I got caught up in the moment

I truly think the world would be a much better place if everyone spent about 75% of their time making bad art

I've been thinking about this a lot lately in regards to art as well. There's this idea that it's desirable, or even possible, to discuss things like music, film, tv, and video games without saying something about the cultural and political realities in which they're created and, like... no?

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

For many musicians, no amount of proving the genius of Clara Schumann’s music helps. What they really find “inferior” are the FEELINGS in her music. So I find my real job is teaching people—women’s emotions are NOT lesser than men’s.

I spent the morning in the recording studio finishing up the audio on a piece I love and it’s such a stupid cliche but there really is nothing like working on music to remind you of all the world’s beautiful possibilities

My favourite quote from yesterday, which I stumbled across whilst doing some bass guitar lessons... "Forget the mistake. Remember the lesson."

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.
