as the atom bombs fall
For the love of chorale, PLEASE try to listen to this with good headphones. It’s probably worth it.

Yeeaah it’s one of those popular TikTok songs. But I just couldn’t resist the ✨ drama ✨ of the Sarah Cothran version.
I’ve wanted to attempt to write thiiccccc juicy Eric Whitacre-style chorale harmonies for AGES… Crazy 11th and 13th chords everywhere. 5ths in the bass line for emphasis. SO MUCH DISSONANCE?!!?!? But whenever I’ve tried to arrange a whole song that way I get overwhelmed and don’t finish - taking just the climax of this song was perfect.
So there’s the arranging challenge… Then how on earth do you mix the sound of 7 string parts, make each part audible, AND still make the solo part stand out above it??? … And then there was this Bo Burnham - “Inside” projector video lighting nonsense I wanted to try … I can never just keep it simple. I learned a lot of little things from this, though.

This one’s for you @vyalone ️
My face might be but Lemon Grab’s definitely emoting how I felt playing this.

So, this was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to transcribe+work up and it got me thinking a lot about virtuosity across different styles of music.
Yes, it pretty universally equates to playing real fast, real impressive-like … But the values tend to be different.
In classical violin there’s such a huge emphasis on perfectly even, clean runs. Clear tone. Nuance of dynamics. Kind of the opposite side of the musical world from the raw power of death metal.
I definitely sat for hours with this solo slowed down, trying to pick out the actual notes he’s playing and going at the uneven parts and the patterns that just aren’t meant to be played on violin… And I prepped it like a classical nerd too! Metronome work up and everything. I thought I’d come up with a “super clean” version of the solo, but maaaaan did it not work out that way.
In the end… idk… Virtuosity is subjective. Sanitized perfect runs are overrated in the face of an overall powerful performance. Tap style guitar solos are cruel to play on violin..

I woke up one morning meaning to practice some etudes and Mozart but this happened instead.
I was able to get some awesome bass sounds from my #yamahayev105 so I’d say it’s totally worth it.

For the Fool I liked so much who literally hid me out of sight for fear of being seen talking to me when someone more worthwhile came by. For the Dandy who said I lived too far away to date who got a girlfriend right afterwards who lived across the country. For the Unstable Mess of a man who warmed the last shreds of my poor heart before deciding I might be a threat to his life and disappearing. For the Nice Guy who keeps me around, but says I’m not successful enough at my profession to be his partner, even though music is what I live/eat/sleep/breathe.
And for the gallons and gallons of willful silence I swallow because all of them just meant well, carrying no malicious intent, living life the best they can. It’s been an… interesting last four years. (at Los Angeles, California)

☁️Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth☁️
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of
☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
“High Flight” is a poem by John Gillespie Magee about the joy of being a pilot soaring above the clouds.
It’s been set to music many times, but it’s Ēriks Ešenvalds’s gorgeous setting for 6 female voices that just always gets me ;-; … Look up the choral version on YouTube. You won’t be disappointed.

I love that in LA you can be prim and proper playing a concert in Disney Hall one day and be some kinda goth tart street violinist outside of it on another. Gotta have that V a R i E t Y ✨
