EDIT: SORRY I MADE A TRANSCRIPTION ERROR LET ME FIX IT EDIT2: pdf file is fixed but the audio I need to fix it later as well EDIT3: audio revamped MM2HN soundmix.mp3 The original work by Henry Since Henry insisted I post this as my own work, here it is. Bear in mind I have only played the organ for less than once per week for a few months, please comment any improvements that could be made. I tried to give different stop voices in the system but the sounds don't go very balanced and apparently the vibratos are pre-recorded and can't be removed, but it kind of gives the right impression I suppose. If I ever get competent enough I might try recording it for real

I got a ping today that I am not active on here much anymore. Last August, I became bedbound with ME/CFS and have seen a steady drop in my abulities to do anything. From 50% functioning, to 40 to 30 to 20 to 10 to 5. Some days I can barely lift my head to eat. There is talk of putting me in a nursing home when my mom goes back to work this fall. I’m only 22! Oobleck, which I’ve posted here before, was written primarily in the first month of my illness. Before things became really bad. When I was still hopeful I would be better by “X” date. “It’s just the flu,” and “I’ll be ready to go back to school by fall break,” turned into a slow melting away of my entire life. Moving back home with my mom, leaving my friends, my college city, my life I had built, and having to start completely from scratch with a body that leaves me in 9/10 pain and dysfunction daily. It is a very potent work. Perhaps my first real “piece of art.” I am proud of creating something that is truly me. It is not about enjoyment, it is about the experience. I can dub the work as “Mahler, but with quarter tones.” I won’t be writing or doing much of anything for the next while. My life is too covered in oobleck. Program Note: The term oobleck is a type of substance that, when supported with pressure and force, is a solid. However, as soon as this support is removed, it oozes into a sticky liquid. Because of this, the oobleck always feels like it is on the verge of oozing apart into a mess of gunk. Dr. Seuss coined the term, introducing it in his story, "Bartholomew and the Oobleck." Its manifestation in the story is an evil, sticky substance which covers the kingdom it rains down upon. "Oobleck" is an aural exploration of a familiar musical world tainted by oobleck.

ello everybody, I've spent many months working on three short new piano pieces for beginning to intermediate students. These are originally intended for children to play, but could also be for beginning adults. In these pieces, I've also tried to discover my own voice and style, do let me know how I've done in those areas. Other feedback related to technique, harmony and playability would be much appreciated. Poem 1: "based on a theme by Beethoven", updated score Poem 2: "the quirky detective", updated score Poem 3: "the crazed capybara", score

Here you go. I have some Easter eggs in the arrangement of the piece. See if you guys can find them.

Oh you don’t have to worry, I’d been thinking about posting this here for a few weeks now. You helped! And there’s no way to predict these things - everyone is surprised. I know I am, daily :). Yes, these things don’t deserve to happen, and yet they do. What a cruel thing for God to take away even the enjoyment of listening to music. I mostly sit in the dark with no sound doing breathing exercises. I get very shaky when I do anything for more than 5 minutes, and if I push that too much I will have a stroke like shutdown for a few hours. Always conscious, but trapped in my own body. Hell. Fear the disease that is ME/CFS.

hey net1💋 I'm not sure what all of your posts are. This is a music forum We share music here, and hopefully engage with others in the process. You seem to like posting your music. Great. It might be helpful to let your posts breathe a bit before showering us with all this stuff. I checked out your website, great talent. Seems like you could offer some overblown tips with production, we'd love to hear. Anyway, can you please stop? Thanks boo 💋
