A bit of synth music for a hard-hitting fight, maybe?

Time for an #8bit waltz!

We heard you!

Although the afternoon concert was previously sold out, we managed to rearrange some seating and free up some space for more tickets! If you want tickets for the 2:30PM performance tomorrow, now's your chance to get them from Amabile.ca/tickets!

It's been a while since I did one of these overview videos, so here is one with some new music!

Hopefully you're able to get some fresh beans soon!

Opus Magnum has been on my to-play list for far longer than I care to admit.

I’m still hoping I finally get around to playing it…

#8bit music for a grand adventure!

Some #8bit music for a somewhat sad story

I was definitely thinking of a sandstorm!

What kind of storm might this #8bit track be referencing? 🤔

Here's the next experiment in my ongoing search for a decent ambient visualizer.

Tense music for when time is running out

E.g., I was looking for a contractor for a mid-sized project, and I just couldn’t bring myself to deal with a business that only has a Facebook page.

One of my personal biases is that I feel uncomfortable spending any significant amount of money at a business that doesn’t have a real website.

Need some fun music for your game or other creative project?

I definitely saw it in music school too. Not that people were actively mocking/deriding it at that stage, but the stigma prior to that level meant that the numbers were heavily skewed away from male singing.

The exact number seems questionable, but the (very) approximate ratio is quite consistent. And working with a male-identifying choir, I can honestly say it’s a very frequent problem to run into.

We have so many parents who say things along the lines of how their son can’t join because he’s not gay.

Update: I'll have to follow-up with my colleague on this one, because I can't corroborate it. I'm definitely seeing evidence that supports that male-identifying classical singers are heavily outnumbered, none of the studies or surveys I've found are repeating that 8% figure.

Unfortunately, as I'm just collating this part of the application and didn't do the research myself, I can't link the specific study here.

Once I have time later today I'll try to dig it up so I can share it directly.

Finishing up a grant application, and was just dumbfounded by this statistic:

Did you know that only 8% of the Western world's singers are tenors and basses? This isn't because they're rare voicetypes, but largely attributed to societal stigma against male singing.

That's just awful!

When that boss music kicks in...
