Hi KE- Thank you for your kind words, & great timing! Feel free to reach out if you ever want to discuss further.

Conceptual Metaphor, Language, And Musicality A comprehensive exploration of how conceptual metaphor, language, and musicality develop and interact across a person's life.

In '23 I wrote on metaphor, language, and musicality across the lifespan. So grateful to put thoughts to writing!

Still learning about rational implementation, but it'd be cool to study musical & language metaphor / neuro perspectives through a generational lens...

Last month I got to write a column in Premier Guitar about Kemper Amps. Best piece of gear I've ever bought!

Came across this paper today that seemed relevant- regarding color perceptions and language.

Yes, I hope you do! Norway is a beautiful country. If you can get away, a day trip to the Flåm railway would give you some lovely time outside of the city. If you book an early train, a round trip in a day is possible. Wear heavy clothes/layer up. Enjoy your visit!

Munch museum, Astrup museum of modern art... Also some good hiking (Vettakollen, I think) north of the city if you have the weather for it.

in case anyone else in the blue sky is stuck the history of telephones and DTMF dialing... what an invention... !

a friend used to tell me he would tune his bass to A-440 using phone dial tones... it's fun to revisit that from this direction 😆

EEEEE! you made my sky 🟦

this made me LOL

working on getting NashSevereWx over here!!

Fantastic to see you here, Minsky... Sending best wishes 🎶

east nashville community, put on those dancin shoes and come see RAYGUN this Saturday night (6-8pm) at The 5 Spot!

+mention you saw this post on bluesky, and I'll use an item of your own choosing for a slide guitar solo. 👀🎶

Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant “West of Samoa” (early 1950s)

produced vs sampled sounds?

produced / reduced?

…maybe similar to constructed/ deconstructed.

words are hard.

Cool! Thank you for sharing this- I look fwd to reading & have a lot to learn in this realm.

also, it occurs to me that you probably already knew this :) i don't know about your software, but it sounds better than what i use. i have not yet found a way around purchasing tunes to export and tinker with, even just for personal use / educational purposes.

i think that riffs are off limits to copyright because they're recycled and reused so often, or so prone to simulatenous discovery, while entire guitar solos have enough elements to categorize them as original works that can be protected.

a new student is fervently emailing me about Herbie Hancock and I have sooo much to give him.

a former student started college this month and recently opened for Squeeze.

another is texting me from Pompei about ancient acoustic design.

agh my teacher heart is so full 💛🎸

Hi bluesky, I'm here to follow/learn/connect on music science and other related things. Got to attend icmpc17 on zoom which was really nice! Will inevitably post about guitars and other eclectic interests.
