I just got some somewhat fond high school memories

Now give this video a short watch:

Oh crap it's that first soundtrack. I remember playing Pineapple Rag for year 12 but I had to give up and choose a different piece because my hands were too small. That's all I want to say, really xD

Probably my favourite orchestral piece ever

Been since 2017. And it's this one:

Lemme first say that I just LOVE the sense of doom and the threatening aura that this one has, even during its more optimistic moments. And especially more of its moments that I'll describe as sour, falsely hopeful, bittersweet, and straight up fear-inducing. I should definitely do some research on this one, and heck, I should probably check out the rest of this symphony, too. 

I'm back into blues

Fortunately, I'm not currently feeling all that bad right now, but man, do I miss this genre. Glad I found this smooth blues mix :D

Also, I should also mention that bowed instruments in blues is such an underrated concept. Here's one of my favourite demonstrations as to why. You can FEEL the bluesiness there! (And I may be slightly inspired to try learning violin someday xD)
