Not sure if I shared this before but Messiaen is fascinating, deeply spiritual, moving, both universe and human stories converge somehow. 

This is excerpt from one of the 20 piano pieces from the series Vingt Regards Sur L'Enfant Jesus

I think it might be the right time to expand into more of the pieces and document in here

This overture has been stuck in my head since last weekend. 

Beethoven didn't miss.

Gm, 

starting in the week with Mendelssohn's Hebrides - which he was inspired to write after visiting Scotland. You can pretty clearly hear the sea in this one. 🌊

Gm, 

forgot to share yesterday but published my writing on Beethoven - inspired by listening to his 7th symphony a lot these days. 🎻

Good night…

I went backwards from Brahms and am now having a bit of  Beethoven phase. 

Discovered his 4th piano concert, and the second movement is everything. And I love Mitsuko Uchida.

My favorite anime opening from 2024 was definitely Bling-Bang-Bang-Born by Creepy Nutz. Not only is the song a banger, but the anime is hilarious. If you ever wished Harry Potter was an anime…except everyone is a witch or wizard…except our main character. But who needs magic when you have muscles?
