Hey just a note, I'm not here anymore, at least not until this site is run by someone other than the world's biggest toddler. 🐘: @[email protected]

Stop giving free content to profiteers and billionaires. A lot of your friends are likely already at the elephant site. There are no ads and no VCs, which is worth a little bit of extra work to figure it out! You can start here: https://t.co/UetATSO4vH

@abbyladybug @KellyGWilson It’s been down for a couple days now. I need to find a different server - too bad cuz I love how compact the name is

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

@abbyladybug @rossgrady I just joined https://t.co/WDUhjbN9Br - seems general and has a good policiy wrt spam, misinfo, hatespeech, etc

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

@JillianDURM Trying to find people seems to be a tad harder than other places where you can import your contacts or whatever. I think we need to know what server you're on?

This was recorded at our "garage orchestra" shop (https://t.co/Z8OXeGmpLR), w/o any rehearsal because these folks are pros. I'm hoping to get the chance to record it (and some other string works) in a real studio next year sometime. Meanwhile, give it a listen/view, thanks!

My latest piece for string orchestra is ready, and you can listen (& watch the little animation I made for it) here: https://t.co/skGKGpbZwG

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

This piece also has a soprano part, sung by the inimitable @abbyladybug. (Strings were played by some amazing ppl who are not on twitter.) Text is from _Moby Dick_ (@MobyDickatSea)

@ThreatNotation I dunno, those eyebrows look a little threatening. Also, spot the non-string players in the replies!

@Komaniecki_R it was suddenly a girls voice saying “sit on the bed, close your eyes, and think about me…” and the kid realized that he had accidentally recorded onto a tape SHE made for him. Made for a lot of excited listening huddles on the bus during chorus trips

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

@Komaniecki_R Small midwestern HS, early ‘90s. Stories always circulated about how our chorus teacher was once involved with a girl who had graduated. So one day a kid was listening to the practice tape he’d made for the kid’s solo, and when the practice recording was over,

@nanopharmNC D’aw thanks friend ☺️

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

@AbstractTruth Love it, yes, and notify the critics bureau, your claim is staked

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

@AbstractTruth Thanks man - I recently have been listening to some of it and lordy I wish I had done a better recording job

[Lalitree Darnielle @lalitree]

@thisfeedsme I’ve got one in-ground in Durham too - hasn’t fruited yet tho, it’s not fully established yet. Looking forward to such lovely bounty as this!

Trying to get more familiar with After Effects and an AE/Premiere Pro workflow, so I made a lyric video to one of my songs from a few years ago:

@mdr29 maybe it's like riding a bike? 😆

Hey! If you've always wanted to play a string instrument, or maybe played in school and want to get back at it, or are totally awesome at it and just want to play music with ppl, join us at Indie Strings! Classes/rehearsals start in November. It's SO fun! https://t.co/8MLbqrj8Hu

@JillianDURM Oh there would be tears for sure if he had to write a paragraph! #Solidarity
