getting hecking *emotional* about figure skating over here tbh

i miss figure skating. the sensation of blades cutting into ice, the incredible feeling of leaping into the air, spinning around and landing skating backwards, like...it felt *so gender-affirming* to be naturally good at a highly feminine-coded activity, and i felt so graceful and femme doing it

ribbit and rabbit differ by only one letter, and frogs and bunnies both jump makes u think

kinda magical sunrise today

composing phone alarm ring tones must be so hard tbh it's like, write something annoying enough that people want to make it stop, but not *so* annoying that they won't choose it in the first place

band name idea: emotional labor union

i had assumed hazbin hotel was too edgy for my taste, but it's actually so sweet, sincere and genuine that almost every episode makes me want to cry ;~;

the thing about being a trans girl with very long red hair is that not a lot of people fit that description, so *everyone* remembers you wherever you go lol

feeling like my ability to hear fine-grain differences in volume has increased noticeably, and that's a good thing, but it's also meant that i've started *completely* obsessing over getting the volume of every single element in my mixes just right lol i still finish them but like, ^^;

pastel goth bunny girl looks

puzzled out what this weird chord i wrote by ear actually like...*is*? i think it's a 22-EDO B harmonic 9th? doesn't actually sound nearly as fancy as i expected, but i think it's *really* pretty and pleasing, and i love the harmonic and emotional resolution it provides at the end of this song

there should be an audio engineering movie called volume where the bus can't go below -5 dBFS or it explodes, send chost

[trying to type the word blogger on my phone] gboard: you mean booger me: blogger actually gboard: no, you definitely mean booger

spent hours on the composition and arrangement of this song because a) 11-EDO sounds kind of inherently crunched out to me b) i was targeting a specific emotional trajectory and timbre so the harmony felt important c) lately i've been fixated on creating grateful, seamless sectional transitions

what has blue glasses and hasn't gotten a haircut in 13 years? this girl

the strange liminality of the moment when a progress bar says 100% but the computer is actually still Doing a Thing

[alexa voice] your laundry timer is done. long live your laundry timer

made some uptempo, bouncy microtonal beats here's "my feathers are growing back" in 11-EDO! musician.social/@holydoll/11...

hey, are you going to the show? what show? [doesn't flex but instead unexpectedly produces a rabbit] the bun show 😎

sitting in front of my monitors, fixating for ages on the finest possible details of volume automation like [2.1 jigawatts voice] 0.1 decibels!

idk what's up with these keys in the A section of my mix (or my compressors for that matter), but it would seem i have once more been consigned to volume automation heck thankfully though the problem section is only 8 bars long, and the notes are sparse i can do it :9

[goes to see the rite of spring] human sacrifices, different keys living together...mass hysteria

[food] sheep milk coffee... so yummy..... how did the little sheepy peepies make such a tasty drink....... good job widdle sheepos......... can't believe coffee comes from sheep...........

found the *vibe* in 11-EDO sothic by cheating and turning one note into a 22-EDO note, sunglasses emoji

i'm finding that i don't like...looove? all of the 11-EDO modal harmony modes? and that the supposedly brighter ones actually sound super dark to me? that's totally ok though, it's still super booper fun to explore a new tuning and new scales!

when i was a toddler, my dad told me he was going to watch a show whose name i interpreted as "star track," and i was super excited to watch a show about a train in space, and then the uss enterprise showed up and i was like...this...isn't a train?

[in my car's voice] i'm only clean when it raaaaiiiins

angelic femme looks

the neighborhood squirrels keep depositing persimmons in my yard :3

i dreamed i met a cat named snippet, what a cute name ;~;

uptempo jam in the 11-EDO dagothic mode why is it called that? not a clue. sounds cool though musician.social/@holydoll/11...

my partner tucked him in :3

i really wanna finish this mix cause i like the song a lot, but my ears are tired, and *i'm* tired, and i think i'll get better results if i pick up where i left off tomorrow morning

mixing tip: if you make your DAW template rainbow colors, it makes your music gayer, send chost

shh, the little man is peepin :3

my favorite typo is this sign in germany that was supposed to say something about "widerrechtlich abgestellte Fahrräder," or illegally parked bicycles, but instead said "widerlich abgestellte Fahrräder," or disgustingly parked bicycles

my cat's bell was clinking against his water dish while he was eating his lunch and it sounded like he was about to make a speech

i hereby christen my grid controller MIDI gear solid

last night i tried 11-EDO for the first time, and whoa, this came out sludgy, crunchy and hard, but also kind of...ethereal? it was a lot of fun to make! musician.social/@holydoll/11...

audio interface? shouldn't it be in 'er ears?

pretty sunset tonight

[sitting down to write some music] i think i want to write.....something Silly [finds like the hardest sequenced synth bass fae's ever heard] actually

just realized john cage could also totally do the bach thing where you spell your last name with musical notes

goofy saturday night microtonal jam in 31-EDO musician.social/@holydoll/11...

on yesterday's hike i got to see a couple super cute little deer aaa! i love them..... ;~;

tbh my top creative strategy lately is "write something weird without really thinking about it and without self-censoring, then build on top of it and see where it goes" feels like it's working?

last night i wrote a super goofy bass line in 31-EDO and was like heck it, i'm keeping it and seeing where this goes turns out it goes uh, here: musician.social/@holydoll/11...

pretty trail from this morning's hike

wild tbh that you can take the same seven notes and create a light, beachy A section and a dark, ominous B section i mean like, major and minor chords obvs, but still part of it is maybe also that it's microtonal (31-EDO mothra type aeolic?) and has kind of ambiguous tonality

finally started watching hazbin hotel, and *it's so good*????? charlie has like, absolutely colossal me energy as a fellow bubbly, excitable, sincere musical gay do-gooder type she instantly became one of my favorite fictional characters ever
