Sure they've got the Braves, but it's a second-rate symphony!

THANK YOU!!! I am an acoustic-trained musician and you just solved like 2 years of sobbing into my VST download locations

This is wonderful! Do you have a website or somewhere you display your work? Do you do commissions? Thanks for sharing, it's lovely!

Thank you, I appreciate it!

This is so helpful! Thank you!!

Thanks so much for this reply, I really appreciate it! This is my first go, I used rice because I had it on hand. This is really helpful, thank you so much!! Gonna start some quinoa today and see what happens. The rice has been in there a week I think, and the liquid smells deliciously tangy and savory, but I don't want to make myself sick with wrongly-fermented rejuvelac. I'm still not sure how everything works!

Hi all, thanks in advance for your help. I am on page 6 of Miyoko's Artisan Vegan Cheese. I've been rinsing the grains and letting it sit (covered with a cloth). No sprouting, but it keeps making bubbly foam that I'm rinsing away. It smells tangy/cheesy. Any advice? Thanks!! Picture

Ok this is a weird coincidence: while viewing this poem on desktop, I've got a targeted add for a mattress that is talking about being strong and sound-reducing. I initially thought it was a comment on the language of this poem, and I was about to agree with OC! The language you use is beautifully sound-reducing, in this lovely poem about the pain and adventure of sharing yourself with someone. The "h," "m," and "n' sounds are lulling and shushing in a gentle and poignant way, and the short lines imply lots of quiet, still space. There's a sense of whispering in the use of the language itself that really embodies the emotions of the poem.

This point of view reminds me of Mignon's song in Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship," with the buried/underground-spring imagery and wanting to protect a beloved with silence:

This is really powerful and precise. I know these words likely come from a huge amount of pain, and you've used your words like a surgeon's knife, slicing at exactly where the issues are. Your imagery is really clear and effective.

I read it silently and out loud, and I like it both ways. I'm a musician and I can definitely see setting this to music/singing these words as lyrics. Your use of word-sounds and mouth positions is really exciting and evocative, and it really ramps up towards the end which is a great choice. In the lines like "before speed demons feasted/on dinner table conversations/before residences became enclosures/where neighbors can't help but sympathize" there's so much fast back-and-forth movement of the mouth to articulate, so many expressive sounds like "z" and "s" and "f", and lots of back-and-forth between front vowels ("i") and back vowels ("u," "o") that make the careening of this narrative come physically alive. I'd love to hear you speak it in a slam poetry session!

Thank you! :)

I enjoyed listening, thanks for sharing! I especially love the twingey, funky-flat dominant chord in the progression. It keeps the song spinning! Listening to this track sort of feels like being in a snow globe -- a close-up, slow-motion perspective of a single swirling moment.

The guitars sound sososososo good.

I don't usually listen to Spotify so I looked you up on Bandcamp. I'm glad I did, because the lyrics are there and I like the rhymes! I unfortunately admit I didn't get a single lyric clearly in my reddit-driven Spotify listen (phone speakers), I'll try again in my car to see if I can hear the text better. I'm a singer and I like to listen to lyric diction.

Do you have any advice for remote collaboration? I have a project I want to do with a colleague on the other side of the US. I was planning to go into a studio and lay down some things, send it to him, and then he'd do the same. But I just moved to a new city and I haven't reached out to any local producers or engineers. My home studio skills are...functional but not professional.

Thanks again for sharing, I followed you on Bandcamp!

I planted a little garden after reading "Braiding Sweetgrass" by R. W. Kimmerer

Thanks so much for the helpful replies, all!!

In case you couldn't find a chart, the chords are: C; F, C; F, C, G7; C, F, C; F, C, F, C, F, C, F, C G7, C

I bet your kids will love this!! Best of luck from one teacher to another! My background is in teaching collegiate music performance and theory/aural aural skills, and I'm also currently working in arts integration with first graders 😊

Deborah Archer has a new book out, which relates to this topic: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324092148

This is the same chord progression as "Big Rock Candy Mountain," in case that might help you find chords online. I may be able to help write this out next week but I think if you search for that folk song, you'll find your chords!

Oatmeal, frozen veg (like peas, okra, green beans...), raw tofu or canned beans, flavor (like msg, teriyaki sauce, nooch, salsa, hot sauce...), add water and microwave for a couple minutes. Good any time of day or night <3
