biting and maiming and killing (<- someone deadass tried to say that violin rosin is a wax used to make the bow not stick to the strings. even though rosin is a TREE SAP used for the EXACT OPPOSITE THING. used to make the bow stick to the strings so it can actually vibrate and produce a sound.)

hey uhh sorry if you've said this already (i only see u occasionally when scrolling through my dash), but what instrument do u actually play? i see your posts about orchestra & was kinda curious :)

i play viola btw :) pls don't kill me lmao

Hi!

I play the viola too! And the violin, and I dabble with piano (I say "dabble" because I'm mostly self-taught).

And please, Anon, never feel bad about playing the viola! It's an amazing, beautiful instrument, and it frustrates me to no end that the viola is so often seen as the butt of most classical music jokes.

So yeah, don't feel ashamed to be a violist — you should be proud! There aren't many of us out there, you know :)

Note: Once a musician, always a musician. If you haven't touched your viola since seventh grade, I don't care, you're still an orchestra kid. And if you joined a choir for the first time after retirement? Guess what, you're a singer!

Audience members, we love you too. <3

i watched a documentary about the Titanic (one of those "real time" animations on YouTube) and was once again struck by the musicians playing till almost the very end. except this time i learned that their final song was "Nearer My God To Thee", which actually made me start crying

i'd always considered it an act of kindness to the rest of the passengers, but now i'm certain it was at least partially for themselves. they were musicians dedicated to their instruments and knew the likelihood of survival was slim. so rather than fight the remaining 1500 people for the last 100 or so seats on the lifeboats, and leaving behind the instruments that were rarely far from their hands, they played.

i'm a choir kid, and my brother was an orchestra kid. music is how both of us cope with hard times. when i'm afraid or hurting or grieving, i sing. when the world feels like it's shattering around me, i sing, i sing, and i sing until my throat closes and my voice crumples.

(in more amusing light, just ask anyone i play online games with, anytime i get spooked or chased by a baddie, i do literally start singing like i was in the middle of an opera)

sure, maybe the musicians on the Titanic wanted to play a lullaby to the passengers in hopes of easing their last moments, but i'm now convinced they mostly did it for themselves. not selfishly, music is never selfish, it's always an act of sharing.

if i were a professional orchestral musician, my life would revolve around the instrument i play. i might know the instrument better than any human partner. and if i knew that this would be my last chance to play a beautiful song before being swallowed by the Atlantic, i'd play it over and over and over until gravity and ice cold water forces me to let go.

not to comfort the passengers anymore, they're beyond comfort now. i'd play simply so that the last thing i hear before the water takes me is the sound of my cello, or violin, or viola, or double bass softly crooning the saddest, gentlest hymn to the night. i'd want to feel the vibrations under my fingers no matter how frozen they are, because i won't be able to do it ever again.

what the fuck i'm crying again. i always had an appreciation for the musicians, but it didn't actually strike me so hard until i related to them on a personal level. i don't think they were trying to be heroes, they were just taking comfort in their own craft.

"The faintly lit passage ends in a crimson curtain behind which the sound of instrumental music flows faintly. Peaking around the curtain it appears to be a group of orc bards."

"Don't..."

"You've stumbled upon an Orchestra."

#eliot posts #taz #the adventure zone #taz balance #kravitz #kravitz taz #taakitz #i personally lean more towards orchestra conductor but the train concept is Very Good in its own way #i once saw the hilarious headcanon that kravitz meant train conductor but taako assumed he meant orchestra conductor #and started taking him to orchestral concerts and whatnot #and kravits just kinda assumed taako was really into music #and the whole time both are just like ''i don't really enjoy this music but i'll act like i do for my boyfriend's sake'' #also there's the very funny scenario of like #kravitz being A Train Guy meanwhile after the rockport thing taako possibly hates trains almost as much as he hates elevators

okay let's not pretend i didn't go straight to this one: 0:33 onwards of the biggest decision - instant tears, brings me to my knees, yanking at my hair, howling at the moon

ok yes i have major feelings at the motif arrangement in not kind, its literally like hearing crowley's inner monologue to me it's so soft and vulnerable and i want to give him a squidge

i don't want to talk about fallen angel it hurts but fuck it im gonna, im such a whore for string swells and 1:17 onwards just does me in, the lilting and the rides and falls is just superb fuuuuuck

4:51 of catch the bullet!!! the little snare trill!!! gOD and then the stRINGS? then that brass ok no i can't talk about it

oh crowley and muriel is so gorgeous and serene i love it sm

love how hard he's smoking goes at like 0:33, it's nails, and then slam at 0:53? CHRIST it's so 'theme that got left in the car' i love it and it's perfect powerful crowley score yesyesyesyesye

monsieur azirophale [sic?] is so silly im giggling kicking my feet twirling my hair

okay but if there is anything that sums up like the ✨magic✨ of GO for me is the 0:00 - 0:16 of the candelabra it's so preeeeeetty

okay now i won't lie. this is the one i truly, truly wanted. my favourite scene in the whole mf show is the lift arrives/Going Up sequence, and the MUSIC hit me like a freight train when i was watching it, i was practically thrown back in my seat, like if i was feeling at all sleepy at 5am on premiere day the music in this scene woke me tf Up, the music in this bit would resurrect me from my grave it is That GOOD (the circle, just listen to all of it it's perfect) (ok actually i will say that the electricity noises in the show did add to the✨ambiance✨ but that's minor)

10/10 soundtrack god bless us all

#good omens #good omens soundtrack #david arnold is a fucking genius im in awe #arnold symphony orchestra tour when??? #i went to a concert of zimmer vs williams and that was insane (even if they did butcher chevaliers a little bit but anyway) #id do a lot of things to see like an arnold vs maybe silvestri? or actually no maybe djawadi yessssss djawadi

penicl as violin bow

thats actually how i practiced learning how to hold a bow! pretending the metal part of the eraser is the bart of the bow you use to tighten/loosen the bow hairs, you can pretty easily use it to practice your bow hold as it doesnt have all the extra weight and you wont risk dropping it and possibly breaking it when you are still learning!

...however you probably shouldnt drag it across the strings. not good for the violin OR the pencil.

fuck it

if this gets 500 notes (setting the bar low) I'll ask my parents for a chest binder before the concert season starts

#fright #trans #by concert season i mean orchestra things #and i need motivation to do this

[bombshelllblonde]

to the man that started it all:

thank you for being there for me in the rough times. thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on, the music to get me through the late nights, for being sometimes the only reason to make it through into the next day.

i don’t think Adam Young really has any idea how much he’s done for me - thank you for keeping the whimsy alive in this harsh world. thank you for the inspirational lyrics to keep me going. thank you fo helping me process emotions like grief, anger, sadness, anxiety…

12/13 year old keri lu really had no idea what was in store.

16-19 year old keri lu thought it was the end for a while.

26 year old keri lu is thankful that there was a light in the darkest of times.

thank you, adam. you mean the world to me.

Skizz’s excited disbelief when impulse asked him to join Hermitcraft is actually the most I’ve ever related to a hermit besides Scar

#exactly how I felt about getting into college and getting into groups of older musicians #and getting to play with xyz orchestras and getting awards for xyz music thing (nothing big but like. I wasn’t expecting it.) #and getting to play with certain people even once #it’s like. it’s such a good feeling in my experience. I’m so glad he got to feel that #skizzleman #Hermitcraft s10 #imp and skizz podcast
