University really did a number on my assumptions of other musicians views (ie they would be more strict or picky about the composition or that they would say negative stuff about my playing).

Also in part of a recording you can CLEARLY hear me breathing and they were like 'WOW THAT'S SO GREAT WE CAN HEAR YOU BREATH IT SOUNDS SO AUTHENTIC! '

Meanwhile when they were saying that, I flashbacks back to college where we actively practiced breathing as quickly and quietly as possible.

I explained a bit about classical performance and they were dumbfounded. After explaining I realized how much that didn't make sense lol

Like I play a woodWIND instrument, why would we not want to hear the WIND part..?

Anyway, I think last night's semi pro recording went really well and was an enlightening experience for me.

I did two recordings of each part and we pretty much decided the first take for each was the best! Another surprise for me lol

Although I literally only play a small part in the album I'm really happy I was able to be apart of it and provide earthy flute sounds!

I went back in and tagged my Pokemon gijinkas with character names and species names because I should.  Here’s some stuff that I had uploaded to Twitter but not here because I forgot.  My Twitter is pretty much a stream of consciousness mess for thoughts too short to be worth their own blog post.
