New Monitor

Many thanks to Sam Reid for donating a monitor he had lying around to me.

The Other Factions

I am converging on a working RTS engine whose architecture I’m quite happy with. The AI system still needs a little work, probably involving a simple C++ superset language to handle the bullshit necessary for the setup I’m seeing, but since I value readability/learnability nowadays, I’ll see if I can come up with one [...]

Summer Night – Movements 2 and 3

My mom commented on how much she enjoyed my improvisation Summer Night, so much so that she set out to arrange it and learn it on guitar. Well, this inspired me to improvse the latter two movements of a sonata, whose first movement is that piece. So here it is, the Summer Night [...]

Every time I watch Whose Line Is It Anyway I get inspiration for improv games that a band could do. But then I get distracted. I just finished watching two episodes, and I was about to go practice the piano. But instead, I’ll write some down. I don’t know how many [...]

I’ve been a little behind on my improvisations. But here’s one for today.

Two Part Inventisation

Today’s improvisation: I’ve always had trouble autonomizing my two hands, because I have always learned pieces with both hands at once. Today I tried to separate my two hands a little bit by improvising a slow two-part invention. I would say that I have a long way to go. I realize that [...]
