Just realized: if you swap the ii chord in a ii–V–I for a II, you end up in Lydian. Makes sense—you’re moving through three dominants in the major key. What else did I expect?
Thanks for coming to my TED talk 🎶

Here's another lil' beat for #beatober The sequence is the #Arturia minifreak, the bass line is #SurgeXT because it's familiar and comfortable and great in every way. And the drums are courtesy of the free Monster drums plugin. Enjoy! #musodon #MusicianLife #queerMusician #reaperdaw

This is me except I’m thinking should I make that send pre-or post fader? #ProAudio #HomeRecording #RecordingStudio #MusicianLife #womenmusicians

I am so, so, so so excited! Today I taught someone the difference between inserts and sends on a mixing console and what they are best used for. It is so not normal to be as excited about sound equipment as I tend to be! 🎚️🎚️🎛️🎛️✨ #ProAudio #ProAudio #RecordingStudio #HomeRecording #MusicianLife

I'm THRILLED to be a part of this virtual festival, both with my new band, Rainbow Portal, and also one of my solo pieces! #MusicCommunity #MusicianLife #musodon #music

There are three parts; a pad, an evolving arpeggio, and some random goofy noises. The goofy noises are like, "Hey mind! Focus back here on this soundscape instead of those hamster wheel thoughts! #MusicianLife #disabledMusician

Status: learning more music theory so i can play this James Taylor song on piano (it has "neurodivergent jazz nerd" levels of chords, yeesh) bc i want to update a bunch of the lyrics, not the least of which would be the opening line --

"Let us turn our thoughts today to Trey Reed and George Floyd"

Inspiration is a guest. Consistency is a roommate.

If you only create when you feel like it, you’ll disappear. The artists who win aren’t the most inspired—they’re the most consistent.

Show up. Even when it’s messy. Even when nobody’s clapping.
Need a plan you can actually stick to?

The Blood Moon rises this Sunday 🌕🔥

Inspired, I wrote a track: “Blood Moon Rising” - a fusion of ancient ritual tones + futuristic beats.

I love it when I tell a (non-musical) person that I play #saxophone and get an immediate response of "sax-a-ma-PHOOONE". It's so fresh and relevant and still so very very funny. 🙄

I thought this was kinda' funny :) #modular #synth #MusicianLife

This is to say nothing of listening for cord, progressions, and other music theory attributes. Now I’m learning to tell the difference between different waveforms envelopes and other synthesizer sound attributes. But I haven’t learned to know if drums are tuned yet. I didn’t even know drums could be tuned! No matter how much we learn, there’s always more to learn. #ProAudio #MusicianLife (2/2)

As I continue my studies of #modular #synthesis I wanted to share a little "homework" I've been completing as I practice using tools like attenuverters, switches, quantizers, sequencers and the like; Oh my! I can use #vcv rack for short periods of timewith a lot of screen magnification, as it is a purely visual environment where each module is basically one large image. #synth #MusicTech #MusicianLife

1. My tub is now draining like it should. 🛁
2. I’m having fun learning to build basic sounds on the #moog matriarch. I want my brain to become its preset management system! 🎛️🎚️
3. I got to jam with some of my favorite people yesterday! Playing in a relaxed environment with other musicians is something I have wanted for a very, very long time! #MusicianLife #MusiciansOfMastodon

I feel like the happiest girl in the world! I now have a #moog #matriarch ! I’ve been wanting one for the longest time! I found a great deal on a used one, it works amazingly! I’ve always loved everything about the mini moog, and this one is even more powerful! #synthesis #synth #semimodular #electronicMusic #MusicianLife
