introduction.
As the year moves towards the cold seasons, the middle of the calendar year, it's a good time to reflect, look out a train window as the landscape changes into a series of horizontal blurs as you realise:
...gosh, it's already been half a year? jeez.
It's always a time of existential dread for me, as my brain tries and fails to comprehend the scale of time, and how I'll end up as a speck in- oh wait this is about music hold on let me turn this around.
2021 has held quite a lot for me, a collaboration on a short-film, doing a lot of work with text and graphic scores, finally getting the courage to work with technology intergrated with performance, having a full orchestra play my music, actually playing music with people and just generally making more friends throughout the industry; it's been a lot, to summarise, and it's only been half a year! So although there is a lot of uncertainty when dealing with the future, I still look to the upcoming future with a safe optimism.
