“Lokaðu augunum” by Olafur Arnalds.

I need to have 90% of my piece for composing for voice finished by next tuesday, but this is the style that I like to write in, and I can’t really incorporate that into my piece.  there’s no way to get that texture, because my assigned ensemble is soprano and viola.

“Dead Island” ~ Giles Lamb

Hey you guys.  Hey.  Heyyyyyy u guize…. this song is from the trailer of a mediocre (from what I’ve heard) zombie-killing video game.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?  IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL.

This is generally what the music I write for piano and strings sounds like.  sort of.

Well! So last night was a hit. I played a big reunion show in a small town last night. Almost all of my classmates were there. We must have 6 or 7 different performers or bands playing. The music started at 8:00pm and didn’t end till 1:00am. So much food, music, friends, and alcohol. Good thing the fire marshals didn’t walk by. This place’s limit was 70 or so. Yeah. We exceeded that number by quite a bit. You couldn’t move. It was awesome. I’m posting another song I played last night. I hope you enjoy this as well. Happy Holidays. I wish you all could have been there!

did I mention how completely awesome my boyfriend is?

“The Whole of the Law” ~ Yo La Tengo

“Well, I used to have the notion I could swim the length of the ocean
If I knew that you were waiting for me
I used to have the notion I could swim the length of the ocean
I’d plumb the depths of every sea for you
I’d escape from my chains, and I’ll reach out for you

Maybe I’m in love with you
Maybe, maybe I’m in love with you”

These lyrics are so good.

“Sofa Chess” ~ Max Richter from Henry May Long

This whole score is really quite good, and having listened to a lot of this guy’s music (thanks to Shaun) I can tell that there’s this one motif he puts in almost all of his works that is just so pretty.  It’s like it’s his life melody.  

There’s a line I play over and over again in most of the things I write, and at least that’s how I like to think of it.

Ólafur Arnalds ~ “Day II - Raein”

I love this song; it sounds like falling.
