i was in a tango mood the other day, so i decided to draw @/sharklyart's tango

#the second doodle is in reference to that one cat tiktok where it slowly zooms in on the cat's face and it's playing classical music #BUT I CAN'T FIND IT :( #my art #my doodles #tango tek #tangotek #tango tek fanart #hermitcraft fanart #hermitcraft

Realistc drawing of Shostakovich I did while ago as an assignment =w=

Out of all realistic stuff I’ve draw I think this one is the best so far(like maybe not for everyone but for me) so I might as well post it here

hi! ~a belated studyblr intro~

just realized i never did a proper intro for this blog!

so, hello, i've been flip flopping between taking lessons and self-studying piano for several years and this blog was (and still is) intended to be a studyblr to track my progress.

i'm currently self-studying as my time is split between this and STEM studies (more on that on my side blog @studentbyday) but i really really hope to finally establish a consistent practice (after struggling to do so for many years 😅) so i know i will be able to handle weekly lessons again 😤

🎓 goals for piano/music studies:

enjoy playing music (including without headphones)

establish sustainable routines so i can practice piano every day or at least every week

get over stage fright and paralyzing perfectionism

improve my sight reading

motivate myself to learn more music theory and use it to analyze my favorite songs

find fellow music enthusiasts on tumblr!

💗 interests/inspirations:

classical music (my favorite composer is chopin but beethoven is a close second)

jazz

your lie in april (i read the manga online and really really wanna see the anime!)

Tiffany Poon and Animenz's playing

🎹 accumulated study tips: resources, practice strategies, coming back after hiatus, hand independence and method books

#if i consistently original content on this blog then i know i've got a good work-life balance lol #sorry if i drop off the face of the earth #i'm probably on studentbyday if i'm not on here #studyblr introduction #studyblr intro post #studyblr #musicblr #classical music #music studyblr #studyspo #study motivation #piano aesthetic #study aesthetic #studystudystudy #music is life #music is therapy #self care #mental health #chopin #beethoven #classical piano #shigatsu wa kimi no uso #your lie in april #music theory #music student #work life balance #anime music #anime aesthetic

#like sorry but the popular HC that LSZ listens to ambient and classical music just isn’t something I can believe LOL #I’m literally an ambient/classical composer and can confirm #that I rarely ever listen to ambient and classical outside of my work #it’s mostly German death metal and darkwave tbh AHSHAJD #mdzs #the untamed #mo dao zu shi #lan sizhui #lan yuan #a yuan #mdzs meme #mdzs crack #mdzs shitposting #apple memes 🍎 #mdzs juniors #cannibal corpse #hammer smashed face #😌🌸💕✨🔪

#can people just be normal about composers please and thank you #you can find tons of biographies for free online #historical composers weren't fictional characters; they were nuanced and complicated real people #many from the previous century with still living immediate relatives #I definitely encourage fans to learn about classical music history but the uwu anime softboi-ication of deeply flawed real people is. weird #especially when you've done the research #not saying you can't do whatever you want. I'm not a cop. but like. #when you're reading about the multiple traumatic events shostakovich faced and the historical controversies surrounding him #it is weird to see a ton of pictures of him as an anime catboy

One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

Funny Face / Kay Thompson as Maggie Prescott

The big joke of the "Think Pink" number is that Maggie pitches the idea in this black-and-white suit, and while everything around her gets pinker and pinker, she continues to dress in black, white, and grey. When someone finally asks her about it, she says, dismissively, "Oh, I couldn't be bothered."

As I look more closely at the screencaps, I wonder if the suit might actually be midnight blue, but since that was billed as "blacker than black," I think it counts for the theme.

She wears the suit in two different scenes, with what appear to be two different white shirts. One of them has an added scarf or a scarf-collar, which is fastened with a statement brooch in green and red. The jacket has three-quarter-length sleeves, which allow for the long white gloves. I also like the pillbox hat and the T-strap shoes.

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive' #turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy) #the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone' #it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' #(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right) #already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me) #and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process) #and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft' #but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song
