👽 Alice Dantor 🎶 @Alice_Dantor@mastodon.art

🎼 Hello ✨ did you know that I just released a third album not five minutes ago?
It's called Hyacinth! It's shorter and more personal one than Alma and Journey and leans more into the electronic/synth vibe^^
The cover art was made by @Mirima (thank you!^^) and you've probably already seen it from when I released "Cold" and "Clouds" :p

As per usual, you can listen to it on
▶️ Bandcamp: https://alicedantor.bandcamp.com/album/hyacinth
Or
▶️ Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/alice_dantor/sets/hyacinth

Hope you'll enjoy it!
Cheers °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

🎼 And here is my first album ✨
It's called "Alma" (from Greek "άλμα" which figuratively means "significant move forward")
The album art was very kindly made by @Mirima and based on an old drawing of mine.

Hello!
I'm Alice, a 21yo trans lesbian from France and this is my #introduction toot ✨

I'm a guitar/bass player, a pianist, and occasional singer who listens to a lot of different types of music and, sometimes, I make my own stuff, which is what this account is for °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
And yeah, I think that's about it^^
Cheers ✌️

(btw, profile and banner pics were made by @Mirima ! Thx a lot bro 😎)

(I'm so sorry to all bassists out there but there is no bass guitar emoji 😢)

updated my bio so it looks a bit more ✨ lively ✨ (besides, emoji allow you to kinda get around the character limit lmao)

person 1: "where's Alice?"

person 2: "wait, I gotcha" *starts shouting* "gee, I wonder what time signature this song's in"

me, shouting from a distance: "it's clearly three 7/8 bars followed by a 6/8 bar!"

person 2: "there she is"

cello strings played pizzicato kinda sound like classical guitar to me tbh, just way less resonant 🤔 especially arpeggiated chords, like, I'm thinking the very last chords of this piece:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUgdbqt2ON0

me: "lmao I can't play this, it's way too hard"
someone: "but Alice, have you even tried to practise that piece?"
me: "...no? what's your point?"

solo piano* piece?
🤔 idk actually, word order is hard

just finished an original piano solo piece ✨
I also wrote it in musescore so it looks clean (even though the sheet is still quite heavy, with all the nuances accents and whatnot)

and I figured out Mononoke Hime's theme by ear lmao
I sound like shit but hey, I have the notes

good morning! I can play the intro to the Rite of Spring on the recorder and it sounds okay

I don't know how I keep forgetting about Tchaikovsky using literal cannons in his music

the piano part on its own sounds so different like wow

and done

so yeah, that's what I'm doing

how therapeutic is writing in notation software to me?

I could easily download a sheet music of Shostakovich's Piano Concerto 2 op 102, II: Andante
but
I could also rewrite the piano part of the sheet in the video 🤔

This piece has become one of my all-time favourites really quickly tbh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFnbnJrpT6o

(Shostakovich - Piano Concerto no. 2 Op. 102, II: Andante)

It's an old piece and it looks kind easy tbh but I thought it was quite a pity that, you know, that piece? Especially written for me? I can't play it :T

I just rewrote an entire piece my former guitar teacher had written for me in musescore
that was satisfying

aaaand now I'm gonna take a break from practising by binge-watching vids about music theory 👌

now this definitely does not mean that I don't compose anymore for the time being
I am, but just piano/synth stuff, but no guitar, so I can't finish most of my tracks
so yeah, just so you know^^"

about that, you probably know that I have broken my wrist exactly 2 months ago, now (and if you don't well, now you do)
so I'm kind of taking a break from working on my albums 'cause I still can't play guitar properly :/

so in the meantime, I'd rather be focusing on other stuff, improve my piano playing, learn about theory, basically just
yeah
take a break
