There was a post made on my island's local News network about a protesting group, it really got me interested in the views this small island holds for those in the mainland USA and what they really meant by "Promoting peace through strength". No positives come to my mind but why is it quiet?

What a month, this would now be my 7th time helping manage a music festival. The difficult part is constantly being in a new department every time.
The redeeming aspect is constantly meeting with international artists and playing difficult pieces.
Oh, what a time to be alive.

From the loud days, social events, and busy nights. There's always been music to fit the mood.
These two moments reminded me of "Jupiter Hymn from The Planets" by Gustav Holst.
Such a grand emotion to be had looking back at your work or just contemplating under the night sky.

A true test of musicianship.
Having a long improv session with 5 other incredibly talented musicians was not on my bingo list for this year. It was incredibly insightful to know where I lacked and where I excelled.
There's always something new to learn.

It's been a while since I've just sat down and enjoyed company. Never a dull day about but it's nice to have nothing to do in between bouts of work.

I've been worn out quite a bit from music. I love the smiles and the ideas that are shared amongst the different age and ethnic groups, but darn is it hard to keep it going without a break.
Makes me wonder whether making it more than a hobby was wise and worthwhile.

Things have been too busy as of late, thank goodness for today. I can take a moment to enjoy some alone time.

Furchella is picking up again on VRChat, I wonder what they have in store.

You can't trust too many VRChat world's. This one kept making me think this was a normal cow.

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Autumn Festival, where I learned so many things about Taiko drums and Japanese folk songs.

Sure I may not be where I want to be but at least I'm not where I was. That's something I look forward to.

It's no surprise that self doubt is something that regularly plagues my mind, the only important part is that I'm trying to get over it. Whether it's my competence as a musician or photographer, all that matter is that I'm trying my best.

Have some photos I took while attending a music camp in Australia. Oh how I wish to relive the memory.

The Australian International Music Festival was one of the best memories that I still recall to this day. Being able to play in places such as the Opera House and Townhall were things I never would've dreamed of.

I didn't have the best device for taking pictures but I did what I could. Here's some photos I took when I was on tour in Japan back in 2018. It's an experience I'll never forget and still cherish to this day.

Some photos I took from Beauty and The Beast The Musical. Wonderful memories were made and I'm honored to be part of this production.
