why is it so expensive to live

Lol at "Your Idol" opening with the Dies Irae... surely @celexo.bsky.social had been informed (or has already seen KPop Demon Hunters?)

I'm already in the best of moods with how this week has been going 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Overjoyed to get to present for the 7th time at NYU’s Music and the Moving Image conference, as well as chairing panels feat. work by truly inspirational colleagues. Having attended MaMI annually since 2019, it never fails to wholly enliven me and remind me why I do what I do. @stefanxgc.bsky.social

Oh hey, the special issue I co-edited with @stefanxgc.bsky.social and TJ Laws-Nicola is finally out for the world to see!

Many thanks to Stefan and TJ for being wonderful colleagues, as well as to the contributors for their insights on co-op gaming in the broadest sense!

Such such such a chaotic last and upcoming month. I am doing my best to stay on top of things. Apologies if I owe you an email.

Finally got around to watching Inu-Oh. I've said it before, but Yuasa really is such a musical animator/director.

Jin Dahaad organ. That's it.

Guest lecturing in an adaptation class based around the Nibelungenlied, and I'm talking about LOTR adaptations—Jackson's, Bakshi's, Zeppelin's references, Shore's Symphony, and the War of Rohirrim (we'll see how much I get to lol)

Feels very weird to post anything celebratory these days, but here goes: thrilled to announce my student and I were accepted to NACVGM to present on organizing a video game ensemble at a uni, and that I was accepted to Hanyang University's "Audible Futures" conference. Finally going to Korea!

video games are an invaluable tool in teaching children to find and kill god

Pewdiepie starting a philosophy book club was not on my 2024 bingo card

Contrabass flute?? Taepyeongso??

Everyone's favorite flautist is back

Advice for early career scholars: overcite. Mostly because it makes finding citations you'll be using later on a lot easier to find. Even if editors/advisors make you cut things, those citations will be in early drafts, at least~

Reading my students' reflections on the experimental music festival I had them attend! Wish I could've attended to see their reactions in real-time haha

Who are all of you people

Ooooh, will have to snoop. I have my favs mostly lined up, but maybe I can add a few to my itinerary

Finally looked up my password again, so I'm back on here for at least a day

I don't think I'm an especially funny person, so I take pride in the laughs I got last night when someone was talking about how the "whole world watching the Superbowl" and I responded "the whole world? This is football, not /football/."

ALL of Fanny Hensel's finished, surviving chamber/instrumental works are now available as free PDFs online

I always make sure to have a 30 min flex crisis in reserve🫡

Thrilled to share that my chapter on musical worldbuilding and worldbridging in the Kingdom Hearts series is finally published:

Nice to see my co-authored piece with the inimitable @stefanxgc.bsky.social getting a shout-out in the new AMS newsletter 🥳

Sitting in the office I wrote my dissertation in in comfy clothes watching a stream after a Zoom meeting. Is it 2021??
