Don’t ask me about Barry Harris unless you have a couple hours to spend. ;) #musictheory

When I was a kid I felt unbreakable, safe within the bubble of the house I grew up in, or asleep in the backseat of my dad’s car as the lights from the golden state freeway washed over me like waves. Even as I made my way into the world as an adult, I felt the extension of that

What a banger though

Overstimmy’ed

The world is on fire, and social media is an illusion, and we’re all just spinning around a small-medium’ish sized star at 67,000 mph, promoting whatever thing we’ve got going, while we wait for our inevitable demise. #happywednesday

Can we normalize matinee and early evening shows? Who’s with me? #genx #millennial #nyc

This is especially for my non-musician friends, anyone who’s marveled had how music can be so beautiful it hurts. I struggle with how to describe this in relatable ways because this kind of thing makes perfect sense in my head and all I want to do is share it 🥹

[Ernie Halter @erniehalter]

Music is math you can feel, and I believe that feeling comes from the idea of home and away from home, or tension an release. Humans are hard wired for it. If something is too stable, too predictable, we lose interest. If we’re home too long we get restless. So we need variety.

[Ernie Halter @erniehalter]

You don’t need to understand the math to feel what it’s doing. Perhaps that’s where people get turned off to music theory, because what does it matter if you can’t feel what it does to you. But they truly are one in the same language.

I vibe coded a script to download every possible combination of flights in a multi leg trip (1.4 million possible itineraries) to find the least expensive one - and it saved me $65. #travel #songwriter #neurospicy
