after having gone through shit in my life, i'm finally at a point where i get why people attend piano concerts.
classical music just resonates more when you have more backstory. it doesn't need lyrics because your own memories and emotions fill in the gaps. it's no wonder why i found it boring as a child.
now, it's the only genre that makes me feel like time stops while the music plays.

I’m talking romantic era circa 1870. rachmaninoff, tchaikovsky, sibelius, saint-saëns, and even later composers like scriabin and ravel. I’ve recently been fixated on sibelius symphony no. 2 and ravel piano concerto in g (the second movement definitely being the most emotional). oh, and this is neoromantic but I can’t pass up an opportunity to recommend ennio morricone’s compositions. I recently relistened to the guiseppe tornatore suite and it’s just wave after wave of bliss from the sonic landscape. I hate to be that pretentious classical music guy but I just really like talking about it lol.

My playlist where I dumped some of the songs I listened to. I’ve played a lot of these like Danse Macabre so it really takes me back I need to start seeing the symphony again it’s actually sick that I don’t bc I have one of the best symphony orchestras in the world like ten minutes away from my house 🤨

Been listening to whole compositions lately. I used to listen to movements, here and there, but could never discern the differences (just blind listening), so now I want to understand the composers better, and their overall styles.
Just for context, I'm not really an expert on this, and disco is definitely more my thing but I don't know hahaha this is where my brain is now!

we're all going to die one day. better to die with used notebooks than empty ones.
they don't need to look pretty. as long as you're writing, you're doing something right.

if they don't ask about your life, then they don't deserve to know about it. don't give away the lore for free. keep 'em guessing.
