#musicianship — Public Fediverse posts

To many this might seem trivial but to me as a musician it's a huge chunk of who I am as a living being

I've faced 4 decades of gatekeeping around my #musicianship - my father's oppression, poverty, systemic lack of support in public so called "education," racism, sexism, ablism having to be mostly self taught in every last venue of creation

🎹 Ah, the profound #discovery that pianists can alter #piano #timbre by... touching the keys. Next up: scientific proof that water is wet. Thank you, #Music Excellence Program, for illuminating the piano-playing masses with this #groundbreaking revelation. 🎵🤦‍♂️

Susan Eldridge is an unstoppable force when it comes to advocating for mental wellbeing in arts workplaces, and one of the most vulnerable topics in this field is how to give and receive feedback.

Susan tells #CutCommon about the impact of your opinion, and how to make sure it comes from a healthy place, without harming the recipient’s confidence or identity.

1. go to https://seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html and download Transcribe
2. Do it yourself. Start slow, poke the piano, make mistakes, you'll figure it out, it's just a code and only costs your effort.
3. Kings will stand in awe of your skill 😊

Excellent gig in York last night from #Rush tribute act Moving Pictures. First-class #musicianship throughout over two and a half hours of music in two sets, the second being based on the performances from Exit Stage Left.

Highlights for me were probably Between The Wheels in Set 1, blistering renditions of Freewill, Tom Sawyer & Xanadu in Set 2, and Marathon from the encores.

Can highly recommend this experience to any Rush fans out there.

This talk presents some of Diana Deutsch’s illusions of music and speech, and discusses their implications. Several of these illusions demonstrate that our brains reconstruct the sounds that arrive at our ears, in accordance with our knowledge, experience, and expectations. As a result, the sound patterns we hear may be quite different from those that are really present.

Just learned that the #90s local band Kitchen Sink’s recorded stuff was recently re-released.

I used to play bass in the band. Later Tero-Petri Suovanen (of https://limonadielohopea.com & https://tero-petri.com fame) took over. I wasn’t in the band anymore when the recordings were made… but this bassline of mine survived mostly unchanged to the recorded version:

Band leader Jussi Lehtinen quit #musicianship by the end of decade and became a successful bar mogul in #Turku.

If I hear the neighbor teaching her son piano by banging what sounds to be a metal cane on the floor as if it's a metronome, and tjen letting him repeat mistakes over and over without slowing down, I'm going to explode. During one session I counted *over 20 repeats* of the same 1/2 measure and he made the exact same mistake each time. Same speed. Cane a-banging.

This Is Not How You Teach Piano God DAMMIT!
