kincaid! the composer

I'm so sick of new york having everything. I've never been, and I'm never going, because the amount of squandered cultural capital in that city is literally nauseating

New Music USA announces the 2026 cycle of the New Music Creator Fund, which offers grants to individual music creators working in any genre to reach the next stage of their creative practice. The program guidelines are now available on the Creator Fund program page on our website, and applications will be accepted from November 6 - November 21. In alignment with the Creator Fund’s new regional focus, the 2026 cycle is open to music creators based in the Midwest, Northeast/Mid-Atlantic, and New York. Next year’s cycle will be open to creators based in the South, West, and New York.*

honestly why even bother, it's just new music nyc, not new music usa

magiccon was such a lovely time. it's so bizarre to be known. very full of love for my friends and burning with motivation to create again. your kindred mistress is back.

Before I post anything else about #MCAtlanta I first have to say something about one of the most selfless & hard-working people at the event, @arnettjonathan.bsky.social
1/3

Ending #MCATL strong with strong coffee and strong friendships. See y'all at the next one!!

Keep your eyes peeled @dork4short.bsky.social @zachdressing.bsky.social and I are cooking up some shenanigans. 😁🤣

constantly disappointed by how little composers do creative self care
