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.

Music starts at 11 seconds.

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.

This is meant to be when he was a young joey, exploring the world with his sister for the first time. As for the ending... well... if you've read the book you'll know. 🦅

Teaching young Terrans how to be a Klingon Cellist!

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.

The experiences I've had doing "Alien Music Workshops" for kids at Sci-Fi conventions have been some of the funnest experiences I've ever had.  Of course, working with children in general can be very rewarding (as well as frustrating).

What I found interesting is that since I open with a Klingon Song ("Qoy qeyliS puqloD") they were far more interested in hearing me sing than just play the cello.  Fortunately, I'm one of the few cellists that regularly sing in a number of the projects I work in and have blogged quite often about Singing (and Dancing) while playing the cello.

I may have to rethink how early I sing in future presentations as I really wanted to slowly build up to that.

As it was a participatory presentation, they actually accompanied me while I sang--in one case just playing a drone (which I explained to them) and a simple ostinato (ditto).  I'm looking forward to developing this type of presentation further in the future.
