so i am very familiar with flutes. I have been playing flute for five years. and my PRIDE AND JOY my BABY my black nickel gemeindhardt flute (her name is serenity) has been unable to play for a year and a half because she has a leaky f-key and we haven't gotten her fixed (like, so leaky she needs to be repadded). my new love, my sweet summer child, my bundy flute (her name is adelaide) who I got YESTERDAY has a leaky f-key, except this one isn't very bad and I WOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX IF I KNEW WHICH SCREW TIGHTENED THE F-KEY because bundy hates me and the screw is hidden amongst other screws. it's ok because I can still play her but I thought I was suddenly just awful at flute because I've never squawked while playing f before!!! and it was the key's fault :(

it's okay tho because neither of them are as bad as the armstrong flute I was gifted (poor flute lasted me two weeks when I got it while I was waiting for my gemeindhardt to be repadded in 6th grade and has never been worth fixing) (I want to hurt the person who fucked up the flute that bad, but also I'm allergic to it cause it's made of nickel so I'm not that attatched)

You chose to play flute in school because it sounded pretty. I chose it because I wanted to be Ian Anderson. We are not the same.

floutist. 90 minutes charcoal

[chantylay]

Moldova has chosen Pasha Parfeni to represent them at Eurovision with the song "Soarele şi Luna."

The song is from the point of view of a man who has recently gotten engaged, asking various nature spirits (especially the sun and moon of the title) to bless his upcoming marriage. Even without understanding the lyrics, the chanting and drums help to convey an old-world pagan sensibility. It maybe goes a little overboard as the tone comes out a little more agressive and dark than the lyrics would tend to call for, but it does make for a good show.

The staging seemed a bit more interested in being aesthetic than telling the story, but you can't go wrong with buff men playing big drums and antlered women. The choreography could maybe do with a little clean up, and for all that the floutist is only relevant for parts of the song, it feels kinda odd that he just dissappears each time he's done pretending to play. I feel like he could be more of a part of the ritual happening on stage. I also wonder if some of the effect of the staging will be lost on the big stage. I think if they spread out too much it could lose intimacy, but staying too close could lead to empty looking wide shots (and while you could avoid going wide, acts rarely do). A bit of set dressing would probably fix that. though.

Clarinet Slander

I hate clarinets. What is a clarinet, but a garbage saxophone or an expensive recorder? I consider myself a fairly musically inclined person, but if you made me listen to a good clarinet solo, I would say something along the lines of, "that's a pretty cool saxophone", or " what an interesting oboe". I hate clarinet. Good clarinet players don't play clarinet. They switch over to saxophone or oboe or flute or french horn. Clarinet is a trash instrument. Clarinet players are the parallel dimension version of floutists. Flutes have daddy issues, but clarinets have mommy issues. Flutes are hard-working at the cost of their sanity, but clarinets have little sanity to begin with and give up whenever anything is difficult. They think they are so cool, but can't play their instrument and complain about it. I especially hate people who play those plastic clarinets in bright colours. You aren't fooling anyone.
