:zerotwo_wow: Here's a second video in the span of 3 days! This time, it's the Gen 1 opening from the Pokemon game series which is short, sweet, energetic, and bloody fun to play :charmander_yay:
I've added an extra touch or two in the video editing phase this time and I'd be curious to hear how people like or dislike them (along with, as always, any input about the audio). It feels like I'm learning just a few little things about editing with each video I put out, and I'm hoping that I can stick with it and get steady progress (unlike the first years of my channel, I'm using the same software (DaVinci Resolve) for a bunch of videos in a row so I can actually build some skills :blobfox_laugh_sweat:
As always, boosting helps a ton, and if you like my music, please consider donating :leafeon_money: so that I can take care of my violin (and my body, but the violin comes first :leafeon_giggle: )
:shiba_hello: Hiii, it's time to actually start to post my own art again. In lieu of recordings from my most recent performance (I'm working on processing them), here's the piece I'm most well-known for. :zerotwo_cheeky: The original video broke 20k views recently, buuut that's not really me anymore, so here's the updated one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IRb707R01w
Do you all have any fond memories of this piece, or perhaps Howl's Moving Castle in general? :eevee_joy:
p.s. I'm curious what my current reach is in terms of instances. If you're not on cutie.city (which is most of you), can you please drop me a quick reply to help me figure out where you saw this? :blobhaj_plead:
It's both a wonderful and an odd feeling :cat_mlem:
On one hand, that's a lot of people that found my thoughts worth their time and attention :cat_wow: :espeon_love:
On the other hand, my most faved post is words, not music (which runs counter to my usual sort-of-self-depricating motto of "I'm a musician, not a wordsmith" :blobfox_laugh_sweat: )
:blobhaj_think: Huh...does this mean I can finally give myself permission to call myself a bard without adding an asterisk? :zerotwo_flushed: :dracthyr_yay:
Last weekend on Stage+ I watched Lisa Batiashvili, Gautier Capuçon and Zubin Mehta perform #Brahms. I have most of #LisaBatiashvili's album, she is a lovely #violinist, with a clear unique style. I had never visually seem her perform before. But of course, #GautierCapuçon, seemed to me, to try to steal the performance. He is a good #cellist and he has been on some really good albums as a collaborator, but he rubs me the wrong way. He is not that great. Perhaps he's a nice guy.
The Dawn of GCE Day 1 pic that I took last Saturday? On my personal FB page, it got 60 reactions. Meanwhile, the really worthwhile stuff, the stuff that I REALLY want people to see (i.e. the music) gets 3~10 :axolotl_angry:
Is it because I uploaded in the morning? Do I really know that many morning-birds? Grawwrawrawr :shiba_angry: :zerotwo_big_angry:
It's the first morning of #GeekCraftExpo PDX! I'm with my friends at Geek Girl Stuff waiting for my 12:0013:00 set (I'll also have a 14:0015:00 set today!)
Come by the Oregon Convention Center to see a whole hall full of geeky merch :sylveon_squish: :espeon_love:
(I also play tomorrow from 11:0012:00 and 13:0014:00)

In Tudor and Stuart times, gifts were given at New Year rather than at Christmas.
Here is a musical New Year's Gift. It's an anonymous 17th Century dance of that name from Thomas Middleton's Inner Temple Masque, or Masque of Heroes, 1619.

Alison Kinder: bass viol
Tamsin Lewis: violin
#HilaryHahn's performance of #SamuelBarber's Violin Concerto, Op. 14 (along with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Hugh Wolff) just reminds you why she is Hilary Hahn. Brilliant. #violin#violinist
