Today in "cool or very useful projects I don't have time for, and probably won't get to, but I'm gonna write down anyway":

So that I can more easily practice at home, the music I'll be playing in concert, I want to create an app where you load a PDF of a music score (conductor's or individual parts) and a music file. You then work through each page dropping vertical lines that correspond with a particular point in time in the music file. When you are done it generates a video that goes page by page with the line scrolling across the page in time with the music.

The Sound of Silence - DIUGCELLO

https://videovortex.tv/w/3Tbe9jGr3DZmkBiNDRi9xa

Rediscovered an album I haven't listened to in forever. Helen Callus playing #Bach's cello suites for viola. She really did a beautiful job. I went through a major #JSBach phase a few years ago. This album ranks up there. Well played and very well recorded. I do not know what kind of reception this album received in 2011, but I hope Ms. Callus got the credit she was due.

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Lontano by Anja Lechner / François Couturier, released on ECM in 2020.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

"On Lontano, the cello of Anja Lechner and the piano of François Couturier play the roles of scenery and camera. As the lens bends the light into a discernible image yet changes that image in the process of fixing it within a frame, Couturier funnels Lechner’s sunbeams laden with stories that can only be heard with the eyes (and vice versa). If such a description seems too cerebral or even bogus, it’s only because the music it seeks to capture doesn’t accompany it...

If the “Praeludium” tells us anything, it’s that awakening in this scenario can only take place when there is both sun and dew. Otherwise, the dawn might have nothing to kiss as it peers over the not-so-distant mountaintops."
