Lose the bitter and strange herb
In the corner, growing wild,
As that which poison harbors
No succor can provide
And better, stranger flowers thrive.

Four years ago I got to experience something I never thought I would ever see— an actual album release by #ABBA. Voyage is a mature gem and a crowning final entry in their catalog, and an album I love as much as my favorite one, The Visitors.

Mozart never goes out of style as a teller of cautionary tales.
I still remember that production of Don Giovanni where the Great Stage Director decided to *cut the finale out* and end with Giovanni's going to hell but no final ensemble.
We knew it was a mistake, and the audience agreed.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Last night I played my compositions for a live audience for the first time. A fellow classical musician said "Your work is just beautiful. So imaginative. Challenging, but still lyrical" and offered some help with the album release. The pieces were well-received by the audience, I'm happy about it.

So it turns out that the music I've composed works best, conceptually, as three albums.
- Small Wonders and Secret Sorrows
- Floating Worlds ("Wonders" the musical and the Avalon suite for organ)
- A third album of my vocal compositions, name currently in the works.
I think that makes sense.

I have no idea who this person is but accusing me of using AI because I have a computer is kind of hilarious.
Girlfriend, I'd be more worried about whatever the fuck is happening to your feet in AI-generated pfp. It's giving "Ripley's clones begging for Nepenthe."
