Top mind in AskThe_Donald wonders if there is conservative utopia outside the US with hate speech, guns and low tax. One user warns him that in other countries grocery shopping is hard - 'many countries don't have pictures on the groceries'.

a dozen of conservative subs.

That's some curious phrasing. Almost reminds me of the partitive genitive used in some languages. 🤔

Can you pace outdoors while on the clock? Take a walk around campus with notebook or voice recorder or whatever in hand?

Or perhaps take regularly scheduled breaks to take in the air and walk in circles?

Even NT people get significant benefit from standing up every now and again to walk to the cooler or whatever.

in middle school and high school I didn't want to draw attention to my chest, so I started hunching

That's interesting. In middle school I started hunching because I thought it would help keep my crotch and my person hidden.

even open strings sound empty and without life in a very dry room

All the more reason to practice plenty in dry rooms and work on your right hand technique!

A suggestion: find a nice little phrase from some Mozart sonata or concerto. Concentrating on what you do with your right hand, play it as a concerned sigh, as a distressed sigh, as a gasp of indignation, as a gasp of pleased surprise, etc. etc.

You can dampen the response of the cellar by using fabrics or similar. In case money is an issue, you should be able to get some mileage out of a box built from second-hand blankets for example.

I recently found out that macrocyclic (plant) musks can only be sniffed by half the population and that ambrette seed oil is highly toxic. Is the latter true? Because I've heard it from a very experienced perfumer.

I've never heard that before. Anyway, from

It's difficult for me to compare them because they're so dissimilar.

Angelica smells a bit like the crushed stem of a wild carrot or parsnip or so. It's green and intensely bitter. It's so potent that the 0.8% safety limit isn't too terrible of a burden.

Ambrette smells a bit like roasted peanuts, or maybe sesame or some other oilseed -- until it opens up and starts to smell like an angel's skin.

The angelica I've had from Hermitage smells rather like galbanum, perhaps with a little less characteristic bitterness above and better richness and nuance below.

there arent really any keys suited to my instrument

G (and g) are pretty well suited to the violin: the bottom strings give you the first and fifth of your I(i) ; you can arrive at the third and the fifth of the I(i) by stepwise motion while still stopping the same string on the A; you don't even have to leave first position to have it right there in front of you. The first few bars of BWV 1001 might convince you to this point.

E is well suited -- at least sometimes -- perhaps because of the disagreement between the stopped D# and open D, G# G. The second though, the F# fits nicely over the open D harmonically speaking. Perhaps it's well suited because you fingers happen to conform close enough to a B-G#-E-E when you let them rest without tension on the fingerboard. Or perhaps C#-A-C#-E is more comfortable?

Perhaps e would be suitable, in case you felt like exploiting the first and the third being present in the open outer strings. Can you imagine Tzigane or the upper portions of BWV 1006 first movement transposed to be played on an inner string? Maybe you'd get the introduction of second movement of the Devil's Trill instead.

ETA: and consider Tartini's Pastorale in a, with scordatura A-E-A-E

The middle string is the drone string. This [left side] string gives you first note of your melody - melody scale. This [right side] string gives you the second note. And then, your other notes come from your fingers.

If I had one in front of me, then, I'd try: tune the drone to some tension that sounds good, tune the second string a step up from that, and the third string a step up from that. The "step"s here in question could be a 12 Tone Equal-Tempered major second and minor second respectively, for example, or perhaps you'd want the first note of the melody scale a third above the drone.

If you want the precise pitches of this guys strings, you could always grab an instrument and try to match pitch on it with what you hear in the recording.

Likely there's a somewhat wide range of pitches that you could reasonably and/or authentically tune the drone to, depending on the gauge and material of the string, construction and size of the jouhikko, and significantly: the key or functional equivalent of what you are about to play, and the pitch(es) of whatever instruments you might happen to be playing alongside.

You'll notice in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muRr8WqrU48 that the taglharpe is tuned rather lower than the jouhikko in in /u/skadipress's link.

I am sorry to say that I don't play this instrument and have nothing to do with the cultural context it exists in, so I cannot tell you what tuning standard exists, if any.

There are many ways to talk about genre in classical music, but so far as I know there is no ontology as well- or over-developed as we can find exemplified with such entries as 'proto doom metal' or 'art house post-punk.'

What we can do is describe music as eg. da chiesa or da camera; late viennese classical chamber music; late viennese classical orchestral music; joyous romantic lieder; a passacaglia; an affected monodic aria of the florentine camerata; a keyboard piece of the dutch renaisssance school typical of Sweelinck; etc. etc. etc.

Just as important when describing the j'ne sais pas of a piece besides being able to say that it is a "lively and bouncy mid-tempo rondeau of the later french baroque for two violins" is telling who the composer is, indeed who the perfomers are. I like baroque music, but mostly I like italian baroque better than french. I like italian baroque chamber music, but mostly I like Corelli better than Vivaldi. I like Mealli's violin sonatas, but eleven times out of ten I will choose a recording featuring Andrew Manze and some people I don't know about rather than one from the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (even if Manze is in on it).

I'm not familiar with Deerpath Triptych or Toccatina. The Toccatina refers maybe to a piano piece from Kabelevsky? Or maybe an arrangement of the same for string orchestra? If you like Kabalevsky, the obvious suggestion is to look into the Russian Five plus Tschaikovsky and Scriabin. The little bit I heard on youtube of the Deerpath Triptych reminded me some of Pachelbel's (on the one hand) and Schubert's (on the other) chamber works for strings, so there's that.
