This will be my fourth annual Notevember challenge! One small musical creation every day of November. I don't have prizes or anything, just some prompts I came up with using a random word generator

*looking at my guitar and ukulele that I've never seriously tried to learn* I need a hurdy gurdy

Sometimes I write out the rhythms before I really know what all the notes are gonna be

RESPIGHI REVEALED AS 2026 CHALLENGE COMPOSER! Hi everyone! As I'm organising the guidelines and putting the finishing touches on MY version of the 2026 Orchestration Challenge entry, I thought I'd tease the composer to whom we'll be paying homage: Ottorino Respighi!

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Learning about change ringing and it hurts my brain a little. Very cool though! Kinda like serialism crossed with a maypole dance on church bells.

20 yo me wouldn't be too impressed. 30 yo me would understand the slump I pulled myself out of and would be... relieved. Impressed isn't really the right word.

Happy Birthday Nadia! Here are her 3 petites pièces: youtu.be/F-DInMfRFOI?...

recent news has made me realize I've been getting Ed Sheeran confused with Bo Burnham this whole time

ah yes, the three genders #bellsposting

I'm going with the Bells (bells bells bells bells bells bells)

I've decided it's time to work in earnest on a choral/orchestral project. I have two ideas for medium-sized pieces that I've done some work on in the past and might like to pick up again: Idea 1: the Beatitudes in Latin Idea 2: Poe's The Bells Just haven't decided which...

There’s something very moving about the apparent simplicity of Pärt’s music. But the complexity and tension increase as the underlying canon gradually pulls us into a spiral we cannot escape. youtu.be/sp2oxWdRMuk?...

Her Piano Quartet was written in 1908 when she was just 23. It’s written in a late romantic style with flowing tunes and a rich, warm texture. If you haven’t yet discovered her music, this is a beautiful place to start. youtu.be/dZy81a57JYQ?...

I'm trying to be a real composer. I've written some pretty good music, I think! Maybe one of these days I'll even make some money!

God, what have you done? I've a meat clarinet From my lips to my lungs oh mama My windpipe and tongue Are a meat clarinet (the bassoon is my bum)

🎶 Meat clarinet, I'm gonna keep on singing with my meat clarinet, I'm gonna keep on singing with this wet tube flesh, I'm gonna keep on singing with my meat clarinet, Meat clarinet 🎶

A4: Various methods of blocking the noise, earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones, white noise to a certain extent, but then sometimes that bothers me too 🤣😭 In choir I sit a row behind everyone else, which helps too. #AutChat

A2: I almost don't have a social life anymore. Being around people is so difficult and exhausting, it's easier not to bother. It's much worse now. I've always been sensitive, but it's been in the last 10 years or so that it's gotten really bad. Also whoops I've been forgetting to tag #AutChat

A1: I have a lot of trouble in choir rehearsal, where I alternately need to have full use of my hearing (when we're singing, when the director is talking) and need to block out noise (when anyone else is talking) I've got special adjustable-volume earplugs, but it's still difficult

A0: Hi, I'm Emily, a composer who hears too much in a very noisy world
