still working on finding that file. here's something else i rediscovered. my junior year of college, we played a song by kenneth hesketh called "masque." here's how it opens:
here's my 'heavy metal remix' i wrote for somebody as a joke, called "maskk":
spent some time today hunting through old e-mails for a particular composition, and came across these two little ideas. first is a keyboard rendition of something i was thinking about for a trombone quartet tune. you probably can't hear it unless you put headphones on, but the 'melody' is thrown back and forth between parts to make a continuous segment.
next is a fanfare of sorts i don't remember doing. crummy patches and an awful solo section but i do like some of the ideas. probably scrapped it after a day working on it, though. didn't like where it was going.
it's a quiet, dark, rainy morning here in the river city. not much to say, in fact -- this morning will probably be all about catching up on schoolwork and making sure the apartment's in acceptable condition for some upcoming travel. tonight might hold dinner in or out with friends, so hopefully the weather has cleared up by then, right?
i've been adding more photos to the st. louis iii album, too.
in the lobby of the fMRI building on the wustl medical campus. recognize that poster? that's right, it's from the famous petersen et al. study. also: me waiting. also: my living room fan with the CFL bulbs back in the light sockets. the things are hideous.
in cafe ventana, the bathroom doors are only labeled with gender symbols. here's what i left on the chalkboard in the restroom labeled ♂.
sitting in nw coffee on laclede, drinking whatever the coffee of the day is and catching up on teaching assignments. today's reads:
"describe how your 'teaching philosophy' has changed over the past three weeks now that you have had a chance to reflect on some of the topics we have discussed." in a few sentences i'm stressing the importance of proper preparation and finding the right balance between innovation and sticking with the tried and true. (don't tell anybody, but i'd rather err on the side of innovating!)
