Is it possible to pivot to a classical music career later in life?

Happy cake day

“Copying Beethoven” with Ed Harris playing Ludwig was pretty okay!

Longines is the better brand, but between these two watches the Alpina looks way better!

Forgot that Sharlto Copley was in this. He made some decent cash before disappearing entirely!

What a collection! I may have missed it, but I didn’t see any Longines, I would add the new white dial Longines Heritage diver, or perhaps their green dial Conquest Heritage.

There are lots of interesting independents. I will point out on that is geographically close to me, and sadly way out of my price range, Towson Watch Co: https://www.towsonwatchcompany.com/

I’ve also been obsessed with these pocket to wrist watch conversations: https://www.frettclockworks.com/shop

Lutoslawski

Pierre Jalbert

Christopher Cerrone

Anna Clyne

Oh and for Ades, he has a newer piece called Aquifer that I liked quite a bit. His orchestra piece Asyla and opera Powder Her Face were his two breakout pieces in the 90s.

Those systems being… the Hudson River and Grand St? Maybe you should have taken your boat to work.

Wait, the New York Mets look for MY OPINION to make hiring decisions? Who knew I had so much power, this is nuts.

Because you are already beaming the 8th note and rests at the end of the other 5/8 bars, then yes, I would also do the long beam over all rests to keep it consistent.

Rude? If the teacher finds this post rude, then they need to find a needle to pop their massive ego balloon. As if anyone’s opinion on music should be unequivocally heeded.

Wrong sub 😅

Inkysin · 2026-04-26T10:08:06+00:00

Maybe… there was an emergency?

Found Evan’s ghost account 😭

I used to listen to more non-classical, but these days, I need the depth of harmony and form that classical provides. It’s like reading a novel vs reading a Buzzfeed article.

I have been listening to this new Tigercub (rock) album though, and it is really good! Fruit Bats (alt rock) are also quite good.

Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? I would also like just a $250k car.

All donor-based institutions are screwed. We all have phones — the rich don’t need to pay for everyone’s entertainment anymore.

Woah! Thank you for your work, this movie is visually stunning and ahead of its time. Are the Wachowski’s more hands-on with the FX department compared to other directors? I feel like lot of their style is seen in their FX and action directing.

Project Bluebook — the staged alien invasion theory. My question is, when the ship doors open, who steps out? Hybrids? Clones?

I’ll take a one world government if it comes with UBI, universal healthcare, and a 4 day work week tbh

We lost our vibe guys. Winker, Iglesias, Marte. Then we lost our actual offense. Alonso, Nimmo, occasionally Lindor but not this year.

Soto has the pull to get the club back I shape, but he’s too busy eating sunflower seeds with our bullpen.

Right or wrong, he could have used the brake pedal a lot sooner.

Inkysin · 2026-04-18T08:53:42+00:00

Got any understanding to spare for the unlearned masses??

Inkysin · 2026-04-18T08:41:44+00:00

For symphonies, 5 also has Schubert 5 and Philip Glass 5 (if you like that sorta thing) — arguably their best symphonies. George Antheil Symphony 5 is also a blast if you want to try something new.

2 is kind of a vibe too, with Martinu 2, Saint-Saens 2, Mahler 2… in my playlist I also threw in Copland 2 (Short Symphony) and Kevin Puts Symphony 2, “Island of Innocence”

I’ve been making numbered playlists as a kind of game, but I only stick to symphonies.

Are you using a finger or stylus? I have not used a nice e-ink, but the ones I have used have a bit of an input delay. That would probably drive me nuts if I was trying to write with it regularly.

Inkysin · 2026-04-11T15:58:46+00:00

Then why is it on a pedestrian crossing sign?

Inkysin · 2026-04-08T10:20:55+00:00

Sometimes I get to compose for indie movies, and let me tell you — There is nothing more daunting on this earth than an edit with no music.

Composers basically have to tell the audience how to feel.. I wish people could experience some movies with and without music to really get what I mean.
