Maybe buying a violin isn’t in your purview, yet you still want to support me and my violin making.
Tools are expensive. Tuition is expensive. I’d like to make violins that aren’t.
There are multiple avenues in which to support me:
CA: $ephilljr
PP: EPHmusic
Vmo: esharpminor7

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Performance anxiety really is something. I’ll be on the gig thinking I should’ve changed careers a decade ago, then get hit with back to back compliments from audience members and my fellow musicians, and then book another gig within a couple hours.
It’s a Gigsmas Miracle. 🎄

Is it cheating? Maybe. But one of my favorite things to do while arranging in Musescore is to hit the “retrograde” button and just see what happens.

I don’t mind the extra darkness, in fact I welcome it.
It’s the shift from basically late summer weather one week to walking up to snow on the ground the next that get me.
I’m an autumn baby. Where’s my season??

I am at a festival for a music scene that currently only has one bassist. The festival is in a hilly forest venue and he runs the trails between stages to get to every set, carrying his stand-up bass. People give him beers and snacks as he passes.
Anyway, I have an idea for a new Olympic sport.

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement.
YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Played a really fun pit gig the last two weeks, and it was my violin’s second outing! Pictured below are opening and closing nights.
The corn fields were nice, but I’m so happy to be back in civilization lol 🎻

So typically, new violins will need a new sound post around 6 months to a year after being completed and played in. Of course, Anansi has decided that now would be a good time to start screaming for one. Luckily, there’s a luthier nearby I can consult to help me with this.

I’m on the other side of Illinois for this gig for two weeks, and it’s somehow 20 degrees cooler than it is in the city.
I’m slightly chilly and slightly annoyed but yay fall 🍁
