boosting. tw: systemic and interpersonal abuse, harassment, and coercion by entrusted institutionally-protected mentors and administrators.

Tr*mp is shutting down at midnight tonight the federal website for ordering free COVID tests (four per order). I just ordered four—can’t be easier. Last call. ------------------ covidtests.gov Please share

new track from last week

Sharing some more of my music here! Next up is "Sexxtet" for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, and piano, written for 45th Parallel Universe (Portland, OR). This piece is a whimsical little bop that started out as sketches for a piano concerto. Enjoy! noisybran.squarespace.com/music/sexxtet

My friends and I are on week 3 of our #musicleague! Here's our third playlist based on the following: "A song you like to listen to while at the airport or on a flight." This was definitely one of the group's favorite mixtapes so far! open.spotify.com/playlist/593...

SNL Season 1 is crazy 🍸

New Girl is crazy 🍸

Please listen to our Harold and Maude episode together! I love Hal so much.

The Traitors is crazy 🍸

my li'l millennial heart goes pitter-patter >.<

My friends and I are on week 2 of our new #musicleague! Here's our second playlist based on the following: "A song that you would share with someone who already knows your favorite artist/song, and that you think they would also like." It's an interesting mix! open.spotify.com/playlist/0D2...

Silo is crazy 🍸

nsfw bsky on fridays be like:

feeling particularly radiant today, and wearing my favorite Mugler piece to celebrate Lunar New Year 🐍💫🧧

The last time I heard my music live in concert was April 2022, until yesterday! I attended DMA Bassoon candidate Jake Byrne's doctoral recital at Michigan, where he performed my 2018 piece "Silhouettes" for bassoon and piano with Liz Ames. It was such a beautiful performance! (recording in comments)

This week, my friends and I started a new #musicleague, most returnees and a few new folks, and it's honestly one of my favorite low-effort/high-reward social things in my life. Here's our first playlist! (Songs released since our prior Music League ended, Aug '24) open.spotify.com/playlist/0ac...

Still working on my #Dorico chops, so I spent today doing a little arrangement of Tomasi’s charming af “Croquis” (“Sketches”) to play with a clarinetist. Can’t find any recordings of mvt. 3, but here is a nice one of 1 & 2: youtu.be/RJ_t-z9Aqbw

Severance is crazy 🍸

today I played some duets with a bass clarinetist, and it was the first time I have taken my bassoon out of the house or played with another person since 2019. 🫶🏻

I am pretty meticulous about labeling, but if posts from my "other" acct show up on your Discover feed, it would be helpful for me to know (if you are comfortable DMing me about it). Given that Bsky accounts cannot be private, I'm still trying to understand how posts are pushed to folks' feeds. TIA!

Next up: My band piece, "Wanderlust" was written and premiered in Australia in 2016. Band was such an important part of my life from 6th grade through graduate school at #utaustin, and Wanderlust is inspired by those experiences! #windensemble #windband #bandgeek soundcloud.com/noisybran/wa...

Composers of Bluesky! Reveal yourselves please - can we get a thread of unabashed self-promotion? What is the work you're most proud of?

Bluesky isn't Twitter (thank gods).

Fyi if you followed potus, flotus, vp on insta, they’ve changed ownership

Finding so much comfort in this album today. <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU7y...

I don't want to think about politics i want to see my friends' taints

2025 so far

Finished my first original hat design! Now to write it the pattern… 🤭

Pay attention to the newly accelerated war on porn.

This country will ban an app before weapons. I hate it here.
