@Silpayamanant Today's @SMT_musictheory leaders are putting truly diligent work into dismantling the field's more pernicious aspects and history, but it really shocked me to realize that my academic discipline was perhaps the only one still actively harboring White supremacy.

@MusicOfLee A melodic line played with such a mutation stop doesn't sound like parallel fifths, and it almost certainly would not be described by Western music theory as such.

[Steven Reale @StevenMReale]

@MusicOfLee A good common-practice analogy for guitar power chords might be an organ's mutation stops, which often do literally add a fifth above the sounding note to "mutate" the timbre by highlighting that overtone.

No spoilers. Just sit down with someone and watch.

Then talk it through with your social circles.

[Steven Reale @StevenMReale]

@Musicologess And just think of what conference talk live Tweets would be like with a few of you running in parallel.

[Steven Reale @StevenMReale]

@Musicologess I think we can all agree that the world would be a better place with one or two more of you. Hope all is well!

In related news, today was also the day when I figured out where the song's title came from.

[Steven Reale @StevenMReale]

I was today years old when I figured out that the lyric I could never understand in the chorus of "Hard to Handle" was ... "hard to handle."

@juliannegrasso Academics are very good *skimmers*

My Theory 2 class this semester is a group of pranksters. On Monday a sight-reading exercise was placed on the classroom piano that turned out to be Never Gonna Give You Up. Today, another one turned up, and this one hit my heartstrings. #GameAudio

@StormSkiJournal @bigskyresort This is really reasonable, compared with the current all-you-can-ride model.

[Steven Reale @StevenMReale]

Hot yoga is the music drama of exercise.

Planning to ski or ride at @VailResorts next year? Mixing and matching different passes can save you considerable money versus buying a full #EpicPass.
