I should get in the habit of setting more concrete goals/intentions. Until I figure out a system that works for me, this page will be pretty empty.

music
I have 2 medium-sized music projects I want to finish up this month to kick off my public-facing music production once more.
- Publish a study of Chopin’s Ballade No. 1— measure-by-measure analysis and comparison of my current ability as a casual piano player to an actual professional, and point out all the inaccuracies i’m making.
- Perform >20mins of improv on my synth. i finally figured out how to use its performance mode; time to test it out!
as a stretch goal: start compiling some learnings about how to build a music studio.
summer cleaning
- Spend time nurturing my physical space. Closet cleaning, desk makeover, get some more plants, etc.
- Make a garage sale page and post all the stuff i’m deciding to get rid of.
