Montage that opens the 50 Years of SNL Music is a true fucking work of art.

Finally got into The Cure. So far “Seventeen Seconds” hits me the hardest and makes me the saddest and is therefore my favorite.

Today's the anniversary of a scary day, at the top of a scary year. I'm grateful to support some of the best journalists in the world at this moment, if for no other reason than to have a sense of purpose in this moment.

The music reflects that glitchiness, that fear of mine, that disconnection. After completing a first draft the episode titled "The Tunnel" (the tasing of a police officer and the brutal FBI interrogation that followed), I burst into tears.

I scored and sound designed the series from my personal point of view, as opposed to that of the audience or a character in the series. On the day of the insurrection, I felt disconnected, shielded by multiple digital layers (social media, clips of Trump, etc).

This Friday marks the end of the second semester I’ve taught graduate-level sound design & scoring for narrative audio at NYU. The students just collaboratively scored/sd’d this promo for their program & sent it to me, writing: “you taught us this.” I’m feeling the feels. youtu.be/vUjXtpQX0wo?...

(Finally) escaping twitter reminds me of this mystic I once read who said that the gates of hell are always open for those who are ready to leave.
