Hi M,

Warm here today, but now cooling off ... time for some piping on the deck ... seeking to keep great blues' musicians of the 1920s in mind (such as Mississippi John Hurt), for example, and not necessarily the greatest virtuosic and most imaginative/visionary pipers like Gordon Duncan or the great lyrical piper like Stuart Liddell ...

(and re The Desiderata and comparison -

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans ... ),

... although Stuart's Ascension video is great - "The Ascension of Inveraray & District Pipe Band - 2004-2013" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbikiMAjhDM - and they won the Worlds
in Glasgow this year, so this video is also an expression of method, and it's funny too.

L,
Scott

Recorded Amazing Grace twice with singing ... and Skyeman's Jig twice, the second time through with a kind of "zip" I enjoy, but with some blips in the 3rd and 4th parts ... letting go of the perfection
monster ... and glad I made these recordings (but my hard drive will fill up quickly with these videos) ... simply opened Quicktime Player, and will later upload some or parts to Youtube. Fun to play outside on a nice evening ... and generate this too as acts of creativity ...

Scott

Hi M,

Maybe I can play some of Stuart Liddell's Ascension tunes these days. And then  ... build toward unique piping greatness over the years in video ... and converse somehow with this video from Stuart ...


Music came last night in email for SCD on Monday ... will play through some ... and possibly to video ... and pulling out the composing software called MuseScore too perhaps ...

What are you up to today? How are you? May head to Stanford here to work on my poetry book too ...

L, Scott

Life: playing Scottish small pipes daily ... in a similar way to blogging daily ... ... much about learning and playing daily a musical instrument - so practicing a musical instrument ... And re yesterday's blog post ... Linaria (bird) ... and as part of World University's upcoming wiki Music School, planned in all 7,099 living languages, (Also, how will atom pixels emerge, and vis-a-vis neural pixels - as information technologies - and especially anticipating sub-atomic pixels ... for computer modeling at all these scales for STEM ... and in a realistic virtual Harbin/earth/universe?) ... and re this Stanford neuroscience conference I just attended today ... the Fourth Annual Symposium of the Stanford Neurosciences Institute, Nice to meet you, Sheng Qiang, and Vinit (two Stanford students)!
