when i was reading the book entangled life which is about fungi and the author merlin sheldrake said that once he got his first author copies he was going to dampen the pages and use them to grow oyster mushrooms and yeast and then use the yeast to brew beer and then drink the beer with the mushrooms to complete the cycle of fungal knowledge. i was like really and truly this guy gets it

Now all I need is a friend to play this with...

And probably a contrabassoon that I'm not holding hostage

Today's study is an exercise in musical shenanigans. I used to write a lot more music that was generally whimsical/playful like this, but this is my first time coming back to this style in quite a while. My only plan this morning was to write a duet for two of the same instrument, and when I was dared by Kat Farn to write for contrabassoons, it felt like a good time to return to these musical shenanigans.

As such, this piece is full of low honks, playful back-and-forth, and energetic rhythms. Some of the syncopations are actually quite difficult and precise (especially on an instrument with such an imprecise attack envelope). So, an attitude of seriousness is required to count them accurately, in a stark contrast to the nature of the piece itself, creating an irony I am quite fond of.

I do find it important to have a similarly serious mindset when writing musical shenanigans like this. Without it, the piece can easily become unbalanced, sounding more like an unorganized splattering of ideas on a wall, which will likely be unsatisfying to listen to. The main goal with writing this study is that is has all these shenanigans, while still being in a consistent and coherent form.

As always, these pieces are welcome for anyone and everyone to play! All I ask is that you share it with me, because I'd love to hear it done by live players!

thoughts that go through my head when i play guitar:

yipee this sounds like the song

shit thats the wrong chord

i dont think this is the strumming pattern

i should write a song

the songs ive written suck

singing is fun

this website doesnt work on mobile :(

i hate this chord with a burning passion

thats not the lyrics

wouldnt it be crazy if i could actually play guitar

practice makes progress >:)

i should tune this again. i know i just did it five minutes ago but eh

this would be easier on the ukulele

ow my back

i should learn this song off by heart to impress the lads

Routine after getting home from a football game (as a marcher in marching band):

Grab a soda with caffeine and drink it on the edge of my bed in my summer uniform

Shower

Get in pajamas

Watch youtube until I physically can't anymore and optionally snack or continue to drink soda if I didn't finish it
