Bandcamp still committed to Bandcamp Fridays in 2026! There will be 8 of them, next one in February.

This is good. This means they're doing better as a business and decided to invest in more in the artist community.

Now that the heat is on, steadily, the humidity in the studio is dropping like a lead weight- so I have a pair of steamer/vaporizers on 12-hour timers hocketing duty. The piano needs around 40-50% to be happy, and that’s what it is! #piano #humidity #steamer #climatecontrol #winter #musicstudio
A pair of steamer/vaporizers on food trays (to keep spills local) the one on the right is marked D for day, and the left is N for night. They are alternating 12-hour shifts via timers. My beloved Mason & Hamlin BB 7-foot piano in my studio.

Foxy is back sleeping by the collapsed shed, which probably means mommy fix is inside…kits in the future! ❤️ #fox #winter #kits #happytime
Close-up view of the fox curled up, sleeping at the corner of the collapsed shed  Slightly farther view of the fox with a wall in front of us Farther view from my window, the fox is tiny in this picture, and you can see the whole collapsed shed, which becomes their winter home

It’s #catunday, and Ziggy is actually becoming more and more of a box-loving cat! He wasn’t interested in boxes earlier in his life, he was more into paper…but now, he gets all cozy.

And he is fully aware that he is cute. Yes.
He is. Aware of that. Always. FYI. Yep.

I have a question for streamers who use YouTube AND Twitch:
How is the music community on YouTube? I knows a lovely community on Twitch, and very supportive. I dont get that vibe at ALL on YT. Am I wrong in my observation?

New “Recording Projects Notes” paperback notebooks! They’re here! Looks beautiful. Lulu.com did such a great job at printing these.
The front cover of the“recording project notes“ notebook I created so that others can enjoy the set up that I’ve been using for years A picture of the back of the recording project book which has a red hue and darker tones to it, it has an ISBN number The inside pages which repeat themselves throughout the book: on the left side, you have a series of rows with several columns for track number, take number, information about the piece being recorded, and comments; the right side has general note information, information about the clients, information about the HARDWARE used, and a checkbox-to-do list for finishing up the project and getting paid In the beginning and end of the book, there are pages that are devoted to contact, Client, Musician, Info, so all of your information is in one place. I’ve used this system for years, and it really makes a difference, also takes a lot of stress out of looking for various bits and pieces of information, especially when a deadline looms quickly ahead.

Last day of teaching piano at UNH for the semester. Now what will I do with all that free time? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🥂
Why: compose, practice, stream, and record, of course! All while Salvatore stares at me.
#unh #universityofnewhaven #teaching #endofsemester #music #piano
The main hallway where I teach, along concrete and cinderblock hall with severe lighting and posters, adjoining the walls, a few funky looking cushion blocks for students to sit while waiting for class The stairway leading out of the building and down onto the street at night Looking up at the building, where the music program is housed at night with rather severe lighting, it has a looming quality to it In my studio at my piano, a photo of Salvatore Dolly layers at me with the words. “forget perfection you’ll never achieve it“ written on it.

In the other night's Back To Basics Thursday stream, I tuned the piano for a bit- but only a single run, and it was a bit pitchy (my 5th tuning so far), so I did a 12-sided musical dice-roll improvisation for this folks watching. Here it is for you:

It’s funny, for years when I’ve posted YouTube videos, the comments were always off. I found that kind of blissful. Someone complained about that and asked me to turn comments on, so I did, and within minutes I get stupid idiotic 11-year-old-boy-brain comments. Wonder why I kept them muted…🤔

So, I do a simple google search of "effin_izzy" to see what is being posted in my name, as someone had alerted me- and THIS shows up as the FIRST result. My name and an ad for gluten-free bread instead of my profile description under my name. WTF. @support.bsky.team

Last night’s open rehearsal went better than I thought it did. I needed that boost. Chat was so encouraging, that I ended up “getting over myself”, lol. Psyched to be performing a bunch of songs on Saturday. #music #songs #covers #originals #twitch #
