O, the internet tells me that I have failed, regarding 'things to do to give yourself an injury with a music instrument.' Particularly, the "acute change in practice habits." :p ( Read more... )

Apparently, writing spurts combined with piano spurts make for bad wrist time. I feel like typing is probably a bad idea too, but then, I can't really sleep and I don't really have any homework that I can do. Gruhhhfm. Today I got a wrist brace and some ibuprofen.

Buuuuh.  My brain hurts.  Today I worked on music composition stuff and theory homework for a long time. Staring at music notation for so long makes for no thinking. Every time I finish working on it I have  no confidence in what I'm  doing. I think this is partially because the program I'm using doesn't play back what I've written very well- the ( Read more... )

umm. woah. i'm super excited for monday already. i have these two tests of death to take, but then i get to ask my composition instructor what she thinks of this little invention i made. which is funny, because it was made with a random number generator, an algorithm and a little bit of tweaking. and a side algorithm that was offset, but cycled ( Read more... )
