i'm growing increasingly fond of music. increasingly. insanely so. all through my life until now i've had phases of being insanely obsessed w/ different mediums of art. i think my entire life might be dedicated to art. in this moment i feel it: i might fall forever. i may never stop loving and abandoning and returning to all that i've loved over and over again. and right now i love music. and i have loved music and art especially since i fell in love with your music and your art so long ago. i think i want to learn probably the piano, or the saxophone, or tbe trumpet maybe, but i do not have the time and the money and the space and the privacy at all. i don't know what to do. i keep listening to mccoy tyner and bill evans and coltrane and jimmy garrisson and i wish i could be all of them at once. what do i do? i wish i knew.
how about getting a dynamic sensitive midi keyboard and plugging it into some basic software so you can get a piano/keyboard sound and start playing it, with headphones. and make sure you can figure out how to get the latency low enough so the notes actually happen at the moment you play them (which also means your headphones cannot be wireless)

i often find myself disconnected from other's perceptions of what it means to help someone.  for many it seems to be simple platitudes, but i personally like to get into detail and really throw myself at the problem, and try to make a meaningful difference, even if it only means cheering someone up or just doing something unexpected (not even problem can be solved materially, after all).  afterwards, when i find myself spending more energy on others than they do towards me (which tends to happen), i feel left out, forgotten, and frustrated.  how do i pivot my understanding or approach to this to lower my frustration?
i think this is a self correcting balance. the frustration itself will lead you to tone it down a bit

opinions on the time signature 6/8
it's normal, but it's important to know that it actually behaves more like 2/4, with triplets, as if the triplets are written without the 3, and the non-triplets are written with a dot. it's also my opinion that 6/8 should be used in many more cases than it is. when people use 3/4 and the quarter note is extremely fast, almost like 1 beat per bar, it's my opinion that 6/8 would be better. and also in cases where 4/4 is used with triplets at a very slow tempo, it's also my opinion that 6/8 should be used. in both cases, it brings the bar length closer to a more normal time length of about 2 to 3 seconds

I've heard that only humans and other apes are able to recognize their own reflections in a mirror... but if that's the case, then why does my dog not react to seeing his reflection?
in that case, what you heard might not be accurate
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html
I'm pretty sure if he thought that there was another dog in the bedroom (and that it wasn't just his reflection) he'd definitely be barking at it constantly.

how do i think in terms of chords as a monophonic instrumentalist?
it might be useful to familiarize yourself with the piano
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html
i want to arrange a cover of a certain song for a trio comprising trumpet, bass, and drums, but the problem is i don't know what to do w/ the bass or the drums at all. and i want to add a piano too, but i feel like i'd drown.
yes, that may happen, especially if you have arranged less than 50 songs before
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-10.html
the reason it's so hard is the song contains a thousand billion different sounds and instruments... i don't know how to really strip it down and yet make it heartfelt and cool, because in my head the trumpet sounds really really good
just start doing it. you might not feel like you know what you're really doing until you've done 50 to 100 songs. but you will learn how to do it, automatically, just from experience. if you can get over the feeling of confusion you will have for the first ones. then again, confused music is not a crime

i just came over a quote by Nietzsche that goes: "j'ai oublié mon parapluie," or i have forgotten my umbrella. any possibility that it's the origin of your umbrella? even if it's not i still like the coincidence
that's not a coincidence, but it is involved in another coincidence: just a couple of days ago, for some reason i couldn't remember the netherlands word for umbrella, so i checked on google translate, and just to make sure i got the context right, i used the phrase "i forgot my umbrella". i've never heard the quote you mentioned, that's just the phrase i used. and of course the netherlands word for umbrella is in fact similar to the french word that you used

i find it so fascinating that we as minds, not as humans or people, seek to deliver and receive info, and go to great lengths to increase the volume and speed in which this info gets transmitted. Truly epic. What's your opinion?
yes it is totally insane, but of course if that weren't the case, we wouldn't be there to perceive it. so it's not a coincidence that we find ourselves here, in mindland
