#Dgar is acting when they are being recorded.

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in tempo and pitch when performing a piece, especially when it’s an original song that you’re still trying to work out parts of the melody. But even if you manage to land all your lyrics on the beat and hit the right notes, I find that a recording can still sound lifeless or weak.

I try to address this by “acting”, by being the character that would be telling the story or singing that song, by channeling their emotions into the performance.

I heard a cover band once play Enter Sandman by Metallica. They nailed it, note for note, but even though the vocalist was in time and in key, they didn’t sound the slightest bit angry. This made the performance feel… somewhat unsatisfactory. I feel it needs to be sung with red hot fury and blind hatred in the words. Their performance has stuck with me, and it’s resulted in me making a conscious effort to embody some kind of character for each song.

So anyway, I’m a zombie in my #Fedivision entry.

Looks like he's drenched in the blood of the anachronistic Empire his unearned privilege is built on to me, and posing in front of the bonfire his government has made of the country.

Scalloway Castle, seen in dramatic light, was built to exercise control over Shetland in 1600. Its surroundings, once sea on three sides, have changed considerably since it was built and it is now right next to Scalloway's busy harbour.

It's fascinating. The sizeable pro-independence minority of c45% of the electorate in Catalunya is simply being written off and ignored by the Spanish media, along with their desire for independence.

It's like in Scotland after 18/9/14 when 45% voted to dissolve the "union". We can all see where that's ended up: the Unionist bloc has nothing left except lies, absurd slurs and threats and is targeting independence supporters as "extremists".

They're not going to try and stop the genocide.
They're not putting any boots on the ground.
But they still want to be in charge of everything. As usual.
