Thank you Tchaikovsky for this moment.

The little things add into the big things, even if they don’t have a particular destination or meaning other that support along the way. Their story is to add color and timbre. The “texture of life” is MOSTLY color and timbre.
I needed to realize that in this moment of life.

While listening to Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, the second and third time the memorable “movie-like” melody is heard, the horns are there in a supportive harmony that really leads nowhere.
I came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter how big or how small the result is…

Me: “I should leave around 7:00”
Morgan: “Out of how many?”
Me: “…uh…24?…That’s how many hours are in a day.”

Yo momma so fat, when she tries to waltz the band has to play in 5/4.

“Really, is he an entomologist?”

“No, he just really likes heavy machinery.”

@ChipotleTweets I would like to nominate Mr. Kody Abrusci. He is a grades 6-12 art teacher, and is the talk of the school. Relates with the kids very well, is a great communicator, and has been a great educator through his first year of teaching at a Title 1 school for newly immigrated families.

New recording of my marimba quartet, Another Place.
The concert and ceremonies we were supposed to play for in Canada was cancelled due to COVID, but we still got to record the piece! Take a listen:

The worlds most expensive car: The Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhault sold at auction for $143M. I knew it looked familiar, as I took this picture at the MB museum in Stuttgart in 2017! Double the price of the last “most expensive car”. And the museum is a great museum for car people!

Hey everyone! This summer, I have a percussion ensemble that is traveling to Canada and NW Ohio, and we are trying to do some fundraising for the trip! The quartet will be playing some new music, and will be performing at the Rocky Mountain Music Competition concert in Toronto!

[Adam B. Grim @ABGPerc]

Today, I found out I got Second Place in the Rocky Mountain Music Competition (Toronto, Canada) as well as winning the Audience Award (voted by audience members). These are the 3rd and 4th international awards I’ve received, and I am overjoyed! link: https://t.co/As65bHqTz6

For those of you who don’t follow me on Facebook, a few days ago my composition “The COVID Awakening” won first prize in the 21st Century Talents international composition competition. I am very happy to have received another international award, this the first as a composer!

Me: Cats are mean.
Morgan: What about Satan? He was nice.

I haven’t done this before, but this was my first attempt at music outside of Art Music. Influenced by video game soundtracks, jazz improv, and electronic music for relaxation (synthwave, vaporwave, etc…). Take a listen if you’d like! All by myself!

@87shiba87 I can translate shibe:

“Mother, no.”

*pulls on leash*

“Mother. I say no.”

[Adam B. Grim @ABGPerc]

I am attempting a new kind of music… electronic! I so far have a two-part song coming together, and sticking with my current aesthetic theme it is about Space. What kind of space you may ask? Outer? Personal? Emotional?
You decide.

Coming soon!
