#xenomusic

I've started reading Coorinna: A novel of the Tasmanian Uplands by Erle Wilson.

It's a xenofiction about thylacines. Coorinna comes from the word Kurina which means Thylacine in the Peerapper (Pirapa) language of western Tasmania. Unfortunately, all the Tasmanian languages are extinct :'( fuck colonialism. I'm glad Palawa Kani is a thing though.

Anyway, I'm so enchanted by the book that I've decided to make a short Fan Soundtrack for it. I've already written two pieces.

This one is the first half of the opening piece. I felt it captured the energy of the Tasmanian uplands. Please ignore the metronome, this is just a demo clicktrack recording that I can play along to.

♱⠀┈⠀DYNAMODERIC :

A gender connected to the famous 90s album by the band Soda Stereo, as something neo-psychedelic and shoegaze, an alternative to something unique

can be considered as a xenogender, otherkin and something else

No, I still haven't forgotten about Coorinna. I recorded this some time in July but never got around to editing it. I still need to record the percussion parts.

This is the raw, unedited version. Once I finish my exams I'll get around to editing it and recording the rest of the Coorinna suite.

First print copies of Xenoblade 3D in Japan will come with a soundtrack CD that has 12 tracks on it, a reissue of the same CD that was also for first print copies of the Wii version.

Here is a listing of the tracks from the CD

This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of speaking and playing to a roomful of young (2nd-3rd graders) cellists at the Chance School in Louisville, Kentucky.  While in-school presentations and outreach isn't something foreign to classical musicians and while I've had several opportunities to do workshops as a Klingon with children I've never had the chance to do both while focusing on my primary instrument.
