i designed my dream accordion :] what should i name her?

[the-iron-shoulder]

let’s start discourse

Accordions are fake. They’re all just a clever illusion. You want me to believe that in addition to playing a keyboard with your right hand, you’re supposed to play one hundred and twenty buttons with your left hand? While it’s constantly moving? And you can’t see it? A whole-ass piano has eighty-eight non-moving options for two hands and you’ve got a hundred and twenty, in motion, just for a single hand? Fake. Faaaaake. No way.

Anyone you see “playing an accordion” is actually just engaging in an elaborate facade; any sounds you may hear coming from the accordion are prerecorded. It’s a ruse. Don’t be duped.

“what about Weird Al?” Weird Al is a deity and deities aren’t bound by mortal rules.

First post!

This is a piece I created for my love of all things accordion. Yes, I play. Not very well... yet. But I'm working on it. Of course, I'm inspired by my favorite celebrity ever, Weird Al. Oh, and I love flowers.

Oh, and I do happen to have this available on Threadless for purchase!

Accordions Are Beautiful Too

[legally-obligated-to-nonsense]

I think accordions are rightfully odd instruments. No one who plays one is sane. It's a piano attached to a bellows with more buttons than are remotely reasonable, I feel my sanity decrease just looking at it.

Accordion Time

we are music when we breathe

time is taffy

I ❤️ Dennis, he's with Dark Ghost paranormal and he goes to little abandoned Russian houses where witches might have lived. If it's staged, I don't think they tell him. One Ghost showed its presence by playing with a squeeze box...it was breathing again in the only way it could.. and it liked Dennis too.

cannabis takes time and taffies it too

so if you take hold of the past, and I take hold of the future

We might keep breathing

We might want to

Accordions

The accordion is colloquially referred to as a squeezebox; in other countries it has still more names. In China, the accordion is known as the "Sun-Fin-Chin"; in Russia, it is the "bayan"; in Norway the "trekspill"; and in Italy, the "fisarmonica."

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1199

first posted on facebook july 31, 2023

sarah sze -- "ripple (times zero)" (2020)

"ripple in still water when there is no pebble tossed nor wind to blow" ... robert hunter

"sculpture spills from its edge into the world in this very complex way that isn’t bound by the frame. in painting, the world spills into the frame, and sometimes we confuse that frame with the world" ... sarah sze

"there is a road, no simple highway between the dawn and the dark of night and if you go, no one may follow that path is for your steps alone" ... robert hunter

"sze's latest paintings have been created as portals, also. an image of a road beneath a vast, open sky has been shattered by elements in oil, acrylic, pencil, graphite and more in "ripple (times zero)" (2020), for instance, suggesting a moment of total obliteration, where fragments can give way to new forms. while ushering us to see the world anew, sze also brings us back to the materiality of painting, which she suggests holds added significance in the annihilation of the physical world in the digital age" ... tessa moldan

"you who choose to lead must follow but if you fall you fall alone if you should stand then who's to guide you? if i knew the way i would take you home" ... robert hunter

"this moment marks the beginnings of stupor and melancholy" ... charles baudelaire

"if my words were lost ... in the dark of nighttime and my posts ... were hung on ... accordions would you hear my song ... somehow without music? would you hold me as near ... as if i were your own?" ... al janik
