Amazing dinner at thirty acres. It was too tasty to photograph before eating it.
fiddling with tumblr
Hey tumbleeps. I re-jiggered my tumblrage around today, and I may still do some light posting here in the next week or so, but I’ve moved my new blogging over to kevinclarkcomposer.tumblr.com.
Don’t freak out, it’s just so I can have my username back, and when I follow people it’ll say my name and not ismynew, which was weird.
Bye-ish!
Rick Stein is awesome background viewing for composing on a Saturday. But this early series does have a lot of music in the score, and a lot of drama, so it’s not as good for background as his later ones.

Hey guys, I know it’s stupidly gorgeous outside, and this is a 1000+ word piece about the arts economy and social connections as a form of wealth. I think what you should do is read this article, and tell me what you think, sunshine be damned. There’s a lot in here to chew on, develop, and pick apart and put back together again so it works better. If we do it right, it’ll be a good way to approach arts entrepreneurship.
Nice speech as usual from a great writer. Thanks Anna Grafton of Actually Happening for introducing me to the trades of Sandman fifteen years ago. Best artistic advice in the universe: make art. Neil Gaiman says it in a nice, quiet voice. My high school visual art teacher, John Kavalos, said it while shouting and throwing chairs and trying to get people to stop staring at their navels. It worked that way, too.
I gave my first ever commencement speech to the graduating class of 2012 at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
I think I told them everything important that I knew about going out into the world and being an artist, so I may never need to give another one.

Great write up of the basic economics of being a musician, and framing the DIY vs. pay someone else or go “big content” decision. (via Musicians’ Teammates and their Effect on Earnings | Artist Revenue Streams)
You know what’s awesome for growth? Spending. You know what’s lame for growth? Austerity.
Thanks for today’s submission from Kevin Clark at ismynew!
Here’s a film/recording of a violin piece I wrote. I made a thing on my website with Noteflight so that you can watch the score play along underneath the film if you want. Here’s the Youtube link: …
Thanks! my regular tumblr is really kevinclarkcomposer.tubmlr.com - I just started ismynew first!
We posted overnight, so you were spared your Tuesday lunchtime experience of Kevin filling your social feeds with surreal nonsense. But today? Today is a new day. We we’ve got Joe Biden. And we’ve got pandas. Get ‘em while they’re hot.
