[translation]
Unfinished portrait. Evil thoughts blackened the silver of my soul. And I didn’t fight them back, I so wanted to break the ghostly porcelain Of memories on stone slabs. I broke time: before and after. The past wounding at me like salt. And my silence remained unanswered. Cheekbones ached, hiding pain behind a smile. It awakened in me the fear and nausea, Cherishing in the cradle ice and grief. Looking through me, into a dull void, Your eyes are like the north sea. The night bloomed with anthracite, Drowned my silhouette in the dark. And I threw fog veil On the unfinished portrait.
as the atom bombs fall For the love of chorale, PLEASE try to listen to this with good headphones. It’s probably worth it. . . . NERD CORNER 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. . . . #violinist #violin #violinistsofinstagram #violincover #sarahcothran #astheworldcavesin #atombomb #fyp #tiktok #sadmusic #sadmood #mattmaltese #altmakeup #motd #dramatic #postapocalyptic #chorale #chorus #lamusician #losangelesmusic #ericwhitacre #losangelescreatives #stringplayer (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6NXOyAdo7/?utm_medium=tumblr
