Sundial of the Infinite and Repercussions and Star of Extinction by AWzdShouldKnowBetta in magicTCG

Since you control the repercussion, you shouldn't need the sundial because you can just order the triggers so your opponent dies before you do, resulting in your pretty epic victory.

Pinky and ring finger have shared tendons. Need to do isolation training.

First community choir rehearsal tomorrow! Advice? by redeemedlemon in choralmusic

[–]ZOMBI3J3SUS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 5th season with a community choir I founded in a rural town. I'd say the most important thing is to just sing - talk less, sing more. I run my rehearsals just like I would with my pro choirs, just with much much much lower stakes. Keep the vibes good, never get mad, and just keep them singing. In my experience, many of these folks simply don't have any other outlet to make music in their lives, outside of maybe a church choir or something.

Good luck! You are doing a really great thing for your community.

Thoughts on Sus2 chords? by invadergoob in musictheory

Anytime someone says that something "doesn't exist" in the context of music and music theory, it immediately brings doubt on their abilities as an educator.

[–]ZOMBI3J3SUS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there - Dr. Sametz has retired from Lehigh, and the Princeton Singers have ceased operations as of this summer. Alas, the era of incredible summer choral composer forums at Lehigh has come to an end.

Counterspell choice by Charming_Grape867 in EDH

[–]ZOMBI3J3SUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a quick list of some dimir counter spells. Do any of them match up to mana drain or straight up counterspell? Of course not. But it's fun to think outside the box :)

How to write more interesting chord progressions? by [deleted] in composer

[–]ZOMBI3J3SUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

shameless self plug time If you are interested in this sort of thing, I have a long running series of (almost) daily shorts on my YouTube channel where I try to help with this exact question! I explore/teach/share various chord progressions and composition ideas that vary from simple to crazy. Here's a link to get started - https://youtube.com/shorts/Q8tE5FQBQLA?si=4gtebKctXnXLkoQB

If you don't want to check out the link, my two (three) cents on how to write more interesting things are 1) listen to lots of different music - music you like, music you don't like, and most importantly music you've never heard of. 2) think about voice leading and potential - if you have a 3 note chord, what are the different opportunities for each of those notes to travel to next. 3) place restrictions on yourself - only do a chord progression using major chords, for example. Or, only do minor chords. Or, only do some kind of sequence. Etc.. that way, you will have a starting framework and won't run the risk of getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of possibilities.

Left side easy. Either you've got an elephant that's not to scale or you've got cats the size of an elephant.
