6/04/24 Oops, I haven't udpated in a few months, sorry !! I have lots of stuff ready to record and have still been working hard, i promise hehe ^.^ I recently moved states shortly after getting some medical work done, hence the absence. I hope to update more frequently again soon though!!

I think the next song I want to record id called Ailes Grises from the anime Haibane Renmei. The anime deeply affected me, and I find the song really beautiful. I'd also like to start recording some of the technique work i practice c:

2/17/24 I was planning on recording the Erik Satie's Three Gymnopedies this past wednesday but because of having several doctor appointments this week as well as my covid booster shot, I felt too unwell to. Initially I was kind of disappointed about it, but honestly I think the pieces are benefitting from the extra practice time :o

The third one in particular I want to make sure to do justice to, as it's a favorite of mine. It requires such a delicate yet deliberate touch, and is deceptively difficult in ensuring that the piece both doesn't rush but maintains a contemplative momentum. I think it's exceptionally beautiful, and as the finale of the set I feel requires the most artistic consideration of the three.
2/7/4 Oh my goodness I forgot how much recording makes my hands tremble and shake :O I was planning on recording 4 different songs over the course of an hour because I can play them in my practice, but ended up only getting one done and it took the full hour to get a single take I'm pleased with! I don't know why i get more nerves recording than I do even performing live but waaaaah
1/31/24 I have officially practiced every single day in january :O I made a *lot* of progress this month, both with all of my long term projects as well as starting and completing several short term projects >:o I always keep a practice journal as I work to keep up with things, so I might go through it and make a month summary thing later today or tomorrow ^.^
1/25/24 I got a tripod today to do overhead angle videos ! I always love those piano videos where you can watch their hands, I find them mesmorizing so I'm really excited to be able to do that for my own too! ~~The downside is I no longer have any more excuses not to record more oops~~
1/21/24 I've been working up Eric Satie's Three Gymnopedies because I find them to be exceptionally beautiful, and I find Satie's concept of Musique d'ameublement to be at least somewhat adjascent to what I often refer to as liminality, a concept I've been obsessed with for most of my life. Music that's not necessarily intended to be at the forefront but whose absence would be noticed immediately is *fascinating* to me, and I think that liminality in any medium is largely interesting because it requires drawing attention to something not usually intended to be given aeshetic consideration.

Maybe i'll expand this thought process into a full blog post hehe :3
1/20/24 I've been learning bass too lately! It's a *ton* of fun >:o I learned the one Sick Hack song from the Bocchi The Rock! anime! I'm kinda excited to eventually record my own basslines to play over with my pianoing ~~ignoring that I already have a backlog of things I need to record on just piano~~
