I notice my search results are very limited in the mobile app. For example, searching #cosoclassical returns only a very small fraction of the posts under that tag. I haven't had a chance to log into desktop to compare.

This piece has affected me deeply for a long time. Turn out the lights, put on your best cans or sit in the sweet spot of your stereo, and zone into it.

Maybe only #cosoclassical pianists will get this, but I think it's a pretty great April Fool's from Marc-Andre Hamelin.

The men in this performance have the best blend and most unified vowels I have ever heard in any choir, ever. This is the stuff choir directors dream of.

My choir will perform this in a few months, and this recording is our model.

A colleague is playing his final master's degree recital tomorrow afternoon. I had set him up with a piano accompanist for the concerto he's performing since I was too busy to learn it.

This morning, that pianist called and informed him he had fallen and broken his arm.

Guess who has two thumbs and is trying to learn the piano reduction for a concerto in less than 24 hrs? 😬🎹

BIG concert recording gig tomorrow, using very fancy new toys and a couple new (to me) techniques, at an event that hasn't happened since pre-covid.

I am strapped in and ready to pull some audio heat.🔥

📢 Attention, #cosomusicians !!!

I just bought this fantastic battery-powered stand light. You all need one. It has a wide light bar of LEDs with a frosted cover, five levels of brightness, three levels of color temperature, a very wide and strong spring clip, long adjustable gooseneck, and USB-C charging.

Just snapped this pic at my music production battle station where I'm laying down piano and vocal tracks. This is max brightness; neutral temperature.
