Hello!
I am a viola player in Minneapolis (24f) looking for violinists or cellists to make a quartet (also open to duet or trio). Skill level: I have played viola (and violin) consistently ages 9-20 but have practiced less these past few years.
Let me know if you're interested! If you happen to know of other places I should look, I would appreciate that too!
Imo:
Liza and Famke's scenes with Viola always feel the most natural imo
A while back I went to a summer music camp and I remember going to one particular concert where they played this one piece. I remember the story going along the lines of this.
It was a group of people in nazi concentration camps that when the guards figured out they were musicians they did everything they could to get them paper, pens, and instruments.
Because it was a random group of people the group wasn’t your everyday chamber ensemble, I believe it was 5-8 players, and I remember there being a piano, clarinet, possibly a viola, and a few others.
Im sorry I don’t have any more info, but thats as much as I remember. Looking to put together an ensemble to play it one day, but all my searches are coming up dry.
Lienzo Seler II and the Coixtlahuaca Group of Lienzos. König, Viola. Latin American Indian Literatures Journal, 15:2 (Fall 1999), 147-210.
I'm having a lot of trouble finding this one. It's probably here: http://www.library.upenn.edu/ http://search.ebscohost.com/
Hello, me again, with another batch of underrated prog artists for y’all! Links to the older posts in the series and a Spotify playlist can be found at the bottom of this post. Hope you make some new discoveries out of this bunch!

Burden of Life (FFO: Wintersun, Native Construct, Devin Townsend, Insomnium, Blind Guardian, Wilderun) [Mixed vocals]
Burden of Life from Germany are a ridiculously fun take on progressive melodeath; think Insomnium but with the upbeat, playful eccentricity of Devin Townsend or Native Construct, as well as some some power metal grandiosity. There’s so much going on in every track and it adds up to a really unique, refreshing, almost summery sound. Their first two albums are more straightforwardly prog melodeath, whereas 2020 opus The Makeshift Conqueror adds that upbeat zaniness into the mix.
Start with: Geistesblitz, Anthem of the Unbeloved, 52 Hz
.
MEER (FFO: Bent Knee, The Dear Hunter, Steven Wilson’s poppier albums, new Leprous, The Reign of Kindo, The Tea Club) [Clean vocals]
MEER are a Norwegian ‘alternative pop orchestra’ combining prog rock, classical, indie and jazz fusion elements. They have duetting male and female vocalists who trade lead duties, and their band features violin, viola and piano players as well as the usual guitar, bass and drums. It’s a sonic feast that’s catchy and intricately layered; a sublimely composed blend of Bent Knee and The Dear Hunter. Their sophomore effort Playing House came out in January and is one of my favourite albums of 2021 so far.
Start with: Beehive, Across the Ocean, Picking Up the Pieces
.
Calyces (FFO: Mastodon, Dvne, Intronaut, The Ocean, Tardive Dyskinesia) [Mixed vocals]
Formed by Manthos Stergiou of Tardive Dyskinesia, Calyces runs the gamut of sludgy prog from the catchy heavy metal of Mastodon to sections more reminiscent of The Ocean’s seismic compositions. With gruff cleans, battering harshes, headbanging riffs, polyrhythmic quackery, and much more, it’s sure to scratch anyone’s itch for music like that of the above artists. Their debut album Impulse to Soar is an eminently satisfying work of sludgy prog.
Start with: [Ego Dries Up t

I've recently went into an argument against an Amour-Hater and made ridiculous claims toward us and the ship itself, and I would like to debunk these claims.
- Serena did not kiss Ash. Response: this is entirely false, Serena DID kiss ash (yes on the lips) this was confirmed entirely by the writers and storyboard. Tetsuo Yajima (Director of XY&Z) Confirmed in an interview that Yes it was a kiss "Doesn't mean it's implied, doesn't mean it didn't happen" Yes Serena has feelings for ash, and Yes they are going to be a couple (or presumably) The reason why the kiss was not shown itself, was because so that they could get it on TV in the first place. Pokémon was still a kids show, meaning that there were restrictions on what they could and couldn't add, that includes the kissing.
- XYZ was not meant to have a romantic subplot. Response: XYZ always had the intention to have a romantic subplot, once again my claim is based on Tetsuo Yajima's interview Stating: "The idea to have a romantic subplot apparently came from animation producer Shukichi Kanda, Who came up with the idea of portraying through a female lead's admiration for Ash/Satoshi which then led to the suggestion that they'd had a flashback to a childhood meeting with romantic implications." Hes exact words. so to simplify, yes it was meant to have a romantic subplot.
- We ship Minors. Response: No, we do not. Serena and Satoshi are both fictional characters, the reason why you claim there minors are because that there 10 years old, this is however unconfirmed. Although the show constantly states that there 10, there is now way that a 10 year old female would have the confidence or audacity to kiss a male, perform on stage with Pokémon upon 100s of strangers, and wear revealing clothes <--- (I'm not even joking with this one, Theres one episode where Serena literally wears a Fennekin Suit/Costume and Satoshi was just like 👀) same goes with ash, this kind of points at them between 14 - 16 in XY&Z.
- XY&Z is the worst season. Response:

no seriously, whoever says this has clearly never seen 1 millisecond of XY, it was without arguing the best Pokémon arc, its because of the whole story, lo
... keep reading on reddit ➡Once more, with feeling this time
It's been a few months since I trawled through baseballreference, looking for quirks of the amateur draft, so I'm back again to bestow too many graphs on a topic nobody really thought about except me. I've done traded before they played in the MLB, I've done the best team each franchise signed, so now it's time to complete the trifecta. This analysis is all about the players who went unsigned. A team saw potential in them, so they picked them in the draft. But, due to budgetary constraints, or the player's wish to be drafted higher, or some other reason, player and team couldn't come to an agreement. So, the player went unsigned. Later, another team saw the same potential, and managed to sign the player to a contract. As a Toronto Blue Jay fan, it was bitterness at the loss of James Paxton, a fellow Canadian, that drove me to make this. Let's go!
THE RULES
-
Each team gets a max of 9 players: 8 position players and 1 starting pitcher
-
Each team will have as many players as possible on the team; this means that players with negative WAR are included if no better player is found
-
The "best" player for each position is determined by bWAR
a. For simplicity's sake, the WAR accumulated in the 2021 season is not counted -
In order to qualify, a batter must have at least 500 PAs, and a starter must have a minimum of 25 Starts. These were altered from the requirements for a batter (502 PAs) or a starter (162 IP) to be qualified to lead in stats for the season
-
ONLY the team that originally drafted, but did not sign a player is eligible to claim said player
a. If the player ever returned to the team later in his career, that team is no longer eligible, and the player is disqualified -
The defensive positioning of each player is determined by his designation in the "positions" field of his player page on baseballreference (just below his name)
a. If a player has "outfielder" under his name, he is eligible for all three outfield positions
THE RANKINGS
The teams are ranked by their cumulative bWAR, from least to must potential WAR lost. That is to say the team with the lowest WAR generated by the players drafted, but unsigned is first on the list. At the end of each row is the name of the team that ended up benefiting from the lack of si
... keep reading on reddit ➡The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
The girls stand together in the werkroom finally reunited after the porkchop tragedy of 2021.
"So what's good 'winners'? Like our clothes, we wanted to look like you lot." Tucker announces as she twirls in her disgusting burlap sac and sends a cheeky little kissy face.
The winners are pretty confused, but aren't really interested in having that conversation truth be told.
"Well if it isn't the B squad trying to make jokes!" Julie opens up as the girls congregate around a table.
"I thought it was pretty funny x" Reeyo adds as she frames her face with her hands and makes cutesy gestures with the dress.
"Anyways, assuming this is literally a rehash of Season 13's 10 year premier I'm guessing you guys had a top 2 and a lipsync for the win?" Jr asks.
"Wait you guys ha-"
"HEHEHE ARIES WAS DECLARED THE WINNER ON THE SPOT, NO TOP 2!" Val jumps in, interrupting Tucker immediately.
"Oh wow, werk Aries-nita Wig'lit and fans. Euijin and Dee were the top 2 for our premiere. Guess we know which side Kabs likes more."
"Maybe you ladies needed as much help as you could get O.O" Val claps back with wide eyes and a terrifying quivering smile.
🎥 Talking Head: u/JrHendr, "This one is really weird. I spend half of my time rolling on a handful of pills and shots of liquor to hide my theater kid side, but she looks as though she'd bite into the carcass of a dead bitch just for a taste test. Steering clear!"
"So Val didn't win her first episode either? Oh thank fuck, Allah forbid if she actually was outperforming me whatsoever in this comp. My God, Gigi Goode, would not stand for that." Ace adds as the girls disperse and try to settle disputes over who will get what werkroom station.
"Um...haha... I don't know if it's right to invoke the name of Allah when...oh boy." Aries starts before the social anxiety swallows her like a cake at a Eureka O'Hara birthday party.
"She's going blue in the face. The same shade of blue that will be on my track record for the rest of the season. That's so cute." Dee laughs as she pinches her nose and sprays glade all around the room.
"Now why the hell you spraying that shit around?" Ace inquires.
"Well let's do the math. You never stop talking about smelling like shit and there's always some bullshit coming out of your mouth about a white queen. It's called preventative measures and that you need to wash your pussy girl." Julie cackles to distract from the dry heaving she was doing just a second before.
