I’ve just discovered something wonderful. Everybody is terrible.
– The Mary Tyler Moore Show (via thehaleyplanet) Via A Day in the Life
Shake It Out performed by me, Katherine Faddol, from the third night, Friday, of ROX 2012. (Jordan Scheaffer took the video.)
I can’t say how thankful I am for everyone who made this performance. From left to right on stage in front, it’s Alexandra Dulin, Elena Yarmy, Taylor Gibson, Rayna Reyst, Christopher Wagman. Mad props to Anna Marck who played keys and sang backups on Friday (Camille Primeau played keys on Thursday). Shout out to Dylan Sanders who played tambourine on Friday (Nathan DeVera on Thursday). As always, mad thanks to Mike O’Brien and Alexander Niemi for guitar and drums.

Normal Practice Session
Claire de Lune by my lover/arch-enemy Claude
Start of the piece- things are going along just swimmingly.
So many feelings. Claude I love you so much why can’t I be French why couldn’t I have been born in the late 19th century I want to make love to you and your arpeggios.
Hell yeah I just nailed that two octave jump!!
Umm… Is that key change really necessary? Did you really have to go from the land of five flats to the land of four sharps and then return to flats six measures later?
Wait- hold the damper pedal, what is up with this sequence!? Hahaha, you really don’t expect me to play THAT- I’d have to get finger extensions is that even possible? OMG what impressionist drugs were you on??!
NOOOOOOOOO Another 10 key changes later~!&#@*&#$@ GOD DAMN DYNAMICS How am i supposed to distinguish from ppp to pp to p THEY’RE ALL REALLY FUCKING-ISSISSISSI QUIET NO CLAUDE DON’T DO THIS TO ME
I’m out. I swear to never touch my Steinway again until my hands grow an extra finger. Or I’ll try again two days from now, whichever happens sooner.
