š»yMusic is a classical contemporary chamber group with unique instrumentation that I first heard of by looking up Rob Moose, who is both the violinist for yMusic and the violinist for pop acts like Miley Cyrus and Phoebe Bridgers. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform (and premiere some of) their original compositions at Carnegie Hall in 2023 and I had a great time. I have a long history with classical music and I was a violinist for a long time (I hope to say I will be one again as soon) and this is the kind of music that I would have loved to think I would play one day when I was a teenager and had a semblance of a thought of being an adult violinist.

š»I got Apple Music classical recently. absolutely love it. If youāre reading this and havenāt taken the classical-pill yet, you have to give it a try. It has all the calming space out lock in effects of ambient musicā but if you care to really tune into the music itself itās astonishing how beautiful it can be. Growing up, I thought it was music for the diaperprolesā babies & senior citizens. I was so wrong. Such grace, such clarity, such overwhelming force, such tenderness, such vehement, electrifying ENERGY all expressed completely wordlessly. By a means that surpasses words. Wordcelsisters, we never stood a chanceā¦
Iāve been on a huge Russians kick currently. Prokofiev, Rachmoninov, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Tvhaikovsky. Some pieces that Iāve really been enjoying recently, in no particular order:
Schumannās piano concerto in A minor performed by Marta Argerich.
Rossiniās overture from la gazza ladra
Prokofievās dance of the knights from Romeo & Juliet
Stravinskyās rite of spring
Vladikir Ashkenazyās rendition of Chopinās 15th nocturne
Iām also convinced that āSmile Sessionsā is the best pop album ever made. If anyone can provide any evidence to the contrary Iād be delighted. But in the meantime, Iāll continue listening to āThe Teenage Symphony to Godā front to back ad infinitum

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYIāwe organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. Iāve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
