Self-taught composer and pianist fascinated by odd meters.

#Musician, self-taught #composer. #Pianist, mainly #jazz. Got a soft spot for Philip Glass-style #minimalism and odd meters. I have never learned recording or music production, I only write scores. Nowadays I publish them on #musescore: https://musescore.com/bluebirch
I wish I had a #piano trio to play with.
I'd say my 12y old son is a pretty promising writer, particularly given that English is not his native language.

Practicing…
I haven't played the piano in weeks. I guess I should.
May I just say? I love it here on mastodon, especially here on the mastodon.art instance.
I joined just about 3 month ago. I loved this community instantly and may have spend a bit too much time the first few days on here as well (still occasionaly do).
Since I joined I have experienced nothing but kindness, support and a lot of people who are willing to help out.
Thank you mastodon. And a special thanks to @Curator who has created such a supportive space for us creatives here on mastodon.art
This sculpture just hit me in the stomach. Anyone knows where it is? So perfect..
I was playing from my collection of #PhilipGlass piano etudes this night and stumbled upon No. 16. I have never paid attention to it before, but I was deeply moved and fascinated by the simplicity, yet complexity, of Philip Glass #music. A true gem!
Surprisingly, I only found a few recordings of Etude No. 16. I think it deserves much more attention!
Here's a link to Nicholas Horwath's recording on #Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/2CT4YOsKssEhdGYL4dkv5y?si=e3W4kBY7RgyEADKilAqWBg
I love the way #mylio (https://mylio.com/) organizes huge amounts of photos, but unfortunately, it only runs on #Windows and #Mac. I have tried to run Mylio on #Linux under #Wine, but failed.
Has anyone succeeded in running Mylio under Wine? Or are there alternatives for Linux? (I like #Shotwell a lot, but it is not as powerful as Mylio, and it's linux only.)
Now, suppose it's time to make #introduction :)
I'm an amateur classical #pianist. Started learning properly at 34 and cannot imagine stopping any time soon. Love Fryderyk #Chopin. Admire Arthur #Rubinstein and Emil #Gilels, and am trying to model my playing on them (extremely arrogant, I know 😅).
I love #cats and am enslaved to two of them. Love #sea, #sailing ships & books about sea adventures. #NaNoWriMo enthusiast. Love fountain pens. :)
I composed some music yesterday. Of course I ended up with a 7+5+7+6/8 meter. I really can't play straight 4/4 or 3/4 anymore...
One day
you will forgive
yourself for everything
you did not become–
it's the only
way out of the abyss
of suffering

Netherlands is completely an American country music song.
(I'm almost surprised they don't have rebel flags, a monster truck, mud wrestling, and guns everywhere.)
The UK’s early experiments at cloning Annie Lennox, alas, need more work. #Eurovision #GBR
Looks like but does not sound like #Lennox
Verdict: meh
