Getting a lot of nostalgia boosts rn XD KH4, Oot, single-player Brave Exvius remake in 2D-3D (Resonance)? Eeeeeeeeeee (thinking I should finally do that Brave Exvius cover I've been thinking of for years)

#1 reason I wash makeup off when I get home from gigs: So my very impatient cat who desperately wants to groom my face can safely groom my face Also my cheek feels very exfoliated now

Weird thought that would be super cool to somehow organize one day: Performing Austin Wintory's "Their Waters Were Mingled Together" from Abzu, live, with full 7 harp ensemble I know enough harpists locally...

Hey y'all Something I've really struggled with is finding the time to make music for myself when I work full-time as a musician/arranger. The only thing I have is to schedule time to focus on it and protect that pocket of time... Do you have any tips for making it work for you?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee Evercold (Also CG Au ra)

I can now say that not only have I played two operas... ... but I finished playing all four shows of the second opera while sick XD (masked and drinking water basically every other recit) I went through so much Tylenol Gonna finally get some rest now

Have Aida stuck in my head Yes, the Verdi opera It will be very stuck in my head for the next three weeks Yes, I might be playing it 😁 😁

My life is rehearsals

Me continuing to go through older rep and also continuing to go, in much frustration, "WHY WAS MY YOUNGER SELF SUCH A DUM DUM" (context, am bringing back the Debussy trio, which I last performed *before* going for a music degree)

Younger me, your future, professional self honestly wonders how you functioned as a musician (aka I'm revisiting rep from when I was early in music school for an upcoming recital and I'm flabbergasted at my lack of markings and bad muscle memory habits is trying to push me back to)

Awesome, awesome track and a great tribute to FFXIV and the journey us Warriors of Light have made. Thank you for letting us lend our voices and a job well done!!!! 🎶🎶🔥💎

Fun fact: I've wanted to learn electric bass since I was like 13. Do I have time? No Do I have income and cables+amp? Yes Am I getting younger? No ... so anyway this might become a personal project after holiday season

Practicing Tournier bc I'm performing it next week 🙌 I love this piece and also I've missed properly working on classical stuff XD (it's been a long summer haha) (Piece is Tournier Sonatine Op. 30)

Hey, it's a thing I recorded for! :D Really happy to see this finally released! Am always excited to record and make music with other people 😁 Thank you for having me on this project!!

I am now the proud owner of three harps Fear me 1 Aoyama Orpheus 47 1 Grand Harpsicle 1 Thormahlen Swan I am so excited y'all 🙌

Of all the places I could've stashed a tuning key while moving, a knitting project bag with an inactive project in it was not on my radar

YouTube has really decided to throw all the nostalgia at me XD On that note, I should really rewatch Gundam Wing from an adult perspective ... really this applies to a lot of older anime though

Plus sides of moving: new space, able to better personalize and set up for storage/recording/living, don't have to tiptoe around housemate's schedule, also quiet and super walkable Downsides: Moving all our stuff XD

It's a crazy crazy time! So here's some of what I've been up to this summer XD

Me playing through an arrangement of Libertango for fun and realizing I could totally add this to my setlist if I work on it a bit :D Which is super fun bc :D

I feel like I've been recruited into mildly strange circumstances of playing Mahler 2, but... here we are XD It's been awesome catching up with people I haven't seen since pre-COVID though!

Just posting multiple pics bc it's been a while and... life is busy XD

When you're busy arranging small ensemble stuff but you have Seagulls Stop It Now stuck in your head

Due to the Twitch storage rule change and an impending deadline, I sat down and... cleared up everything in the "Highlights" section (which I'd used to hold onto old VODs). Did back up some playthroughs though. TBH, I think my Twitch streaming days are over; may consider Youtube if I stream again

Adorable cat Loves to say good morning, mreow Why 5 am though

If anyone's wondering where I've vanished to in more recent weeks... let's just say that wedding season is definitely here XD Some really beautiful weddings though!! 💐

Under the (FF5) sea~ 🌊 I got to be part of this! :D Thank you for having me play on your arrangement!!

I didn't share this here yet! So I finally finished knitting this shawl over the weekend XD Not blocked yet and has many ends to weave in, but it took me 4 months and I'm very pleased with it :)

Played a wedding reception and a symphony concert on the same day The morning after:

Huge congratulations to Mark and Mathieu for their work on the soundtrack for Empire of the Ants!! It's a gorgeous, gorgeous soundtrack, I highly recommend a listen!! (I might be slightly biased as I had the opportunity to record for this :D) But seriously, I'm so happy 🤩 Congratulations!! 🎉🎉

So uh... for anyone who doesn't know Elder Scrolls is one of the series that I am very, very into If I hadn't made FFXIV my main MMO, it would've been ESO (I also may have 2500+ plugins in my current Skyrim modded setup) So there is a LOT of excitement for me right now

The chills when Patrick Stewart's voice with modern HD Uriel Septim with the Oblivion music

Random thoughts on the Oblivion remaster: Oblivion was my intro to the Elder Scrolls Series (I got into it the year before Skyrim released), and tbh - I'm excited! I'm curious to see what's done! ... but also Skyblivion? ... Martin Septim all over again 😭

Hi from just before dress :)

One day I will make it to VGMCon I hope y'all have an awesome time!!!! ☺️

Suddenly traveling out of town for the weekend to play a Joni Mitchell tribute concert :D

I finally have a pedal harp pickup! :D (Which I will install and test when I don't have to leave for a gig in 2.5 hrs XD)

Me, going over the score+music in prep for dress rehearsal, and and spying "gliss with a wire brush" in the directions Me, slight panic for a moment bc I do not own wire brushes Me, looking at a live performance video and seeing the harpist doing fingernail glisses instead *phew*

First, I'm going to apologize bc coming back to Stardew Valley (which kept me going through recital prep during grad school) took over my weekend... ehe x.x But, I'm now very amped up for arranging, so assuming I can balance gig prep, there may be some fun stuff soonish :D

Happy Pi Day!! :D

Before and after I did some edits... Playing this in two weeks XD (thanks Dukas)

I kinda wanna go back to Stardew Valley Update/see what new mods have been released Actually play 1.6 XD (I've been fairly solidly in Skyrim longplay mode for several months haha)

Legend of Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke WIP - the hardest page in the whole arrangement, so therefore now my most comfortable and only memorized page in the whole arrangement XD (I'll get this fully recorded and ready to go eventually)

When you wake up early and decide to take a rest day from working out And use the time to play Skyrim and practice tunes on the folk harp :D (Currently: Morrison's Jig, Haste to the Wedding, and Musical Priest)

Today is the first day I haven't needed to take Tylenol in a week ... my sinuses can tell XD But it's really good to have the energy to practice again ☺️ ... I may still take Tylenol later, there's a lot of mucus fog...

I've been hit by the yearly "Actually really sick" though juuuust functional enough to sit upright So much mucus Cozy Weather Tea from Tealyra has been really nice

My Chrono Trigger album should be delivered on 2/28 with 12 tracks from the series, just in time for the 30th Anniversary! Thanks to @ahlecks.bsky.social for the album art!

Status: Still fighting with Dorico to get harp harmonics playback to sound properly :/ Basically just giving up at this point bc it's taking way too much time away from actually arranging. I'm the one playing it anyway
