OK.

I've put this off long enough. I'm scheduling the surgery for the end of the month/ early August, whatever the orthopedist suggests. This gives me time to finish whats on my plate. But I'll need to raise funds for recovery time. So..

No obligations. Shares appreciated.

Not having gone into music professionally has the pleasant consequence that the question of where the industry is going has no existential relevance to me. I can't be "left behind" because I'm not participating in a competition to begin with.

The Free Speech Coalition is serious about starting an adult industry credit union. Part of this is being able to show regulators that enough people would use it, so please fill out this form if you're interested!
(Yes, credit unions can issue credit cards!)

When using multiple different ways of drawing lines in Inkscape (e.g. straight lines versus circular arcs versus function plots), is it possible to get the pieces to come together into proper vertices where the corners of the strokes for the separate line segments don't stick out?

I've always felt that the upper three notes of the trombone chord are in too pedestrian a register for cellos for a voicing where each is covered by only half of them while all the basses have the bottom note to be satisfactory, especially since the chord tone of the bottom note is doubled.

A divisi that starts for the purpose of differing pitches, contains for the sake of differing fingerings, and continues further for the sake of differing bowings.

I wish I knew of a staging of Strauss's Salome on record where the Dance of Seven Veils is actually compelling, not embarrassing, to watch. Someone do a staging where the singer swaps out for a professional dancer for that part like in the premiere, and let Matthew Bourne choreograph it.

Mahler's 6th symphony is frustratingly editorially sloppy, especially in the places that were revised. The top is the original and the bottom is the revision.

@hakirsch.bsky.social Hah, just recently I was trying to figure what exactly any of your handles were.

@grrweasel.net I vaguely remember you (or possibly some other badger I know) having a piece of gear that was like a stylized metal badger paw. Was that a thing?

These trumpet glissandos in Debussy's Jeux are such a strange touch. I usually think of glissandos on valved brass instruments as a crude, raucous effect, but these are supposed to be quiet, and embedded in a rhythm that requires precision.

Fuck it.

In a moment of cosmic irony, the upcoming chapter 3 reckons with 'illegal art' and its profound importance. Given the circumstances, we're releasing it early.

of Vitally's character (unless I misunderstood) Denisovitch! Actually really enjoyed working on this and maximum credit to Vitally for doing the text layout, nailed it.

I bet that's gotta have one hell of a centerfold.

I'm tired of the assertion that instruments should categorically strive to imitate the human voice. I'm mostly not that interested in vocal music, so treating it as some unsurpassable summit of musicality seems perverse.

🖼️ It’s been a minute (well, a lot longer than that) since we posted a Fan Art Friday!

Today we’re featuring art by Cartoonboingsfx on Tumblr & Grayson D. They captured Gehn’s affinity for… shall we say, contemplative combustion. 🔥

@shirokoi.bsky.social After seeing Hamish's flashback, I decided he needed a hug, and commissioned @ehudkurzweil.bsky.social to manifest one. You've drawn a couple such things in the time since then, but I think he can still use one more.

The idea of doubling the woodwinds in orchestral works by Brahms and the like when the string section is large bugs me from the perspective that the resulting woodwind voicings are probably not always what one would choose if one were writing for that number of woodwinds in the first place.
