Liebermann Piccolo Concerto op 50 1st mvt w/ BSO

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

I loved this piece. I’m at the corner of right above if you can see…

The harmonic concept of this composition was amazing & this can be apply for any improvisation of any kinds of music.

I actually start using the Major 3rd sequence in my jazz improvisation after playing this piece (3rd mov).

You can hear the same kind of concept from “bhept100 with Bruce McKinnon” on Thomas Morgan’s myspace.

This tonality is very interesting.

Bushwick, BK

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

I recently moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn. This is Wilson L stop.

I heard a lot of artists moved to Bushwick, but probably I’m away from 3-4 stops away from Bushwick’s most emerging area like Morgan, Jefferson, & Decalb.
This neighbor is very quiet.
I saw one police is chasing a robber in front of Wilson once… but that’s the only thing I felt dangerous.

People around here are very friendly & might say “hi” or “wassup bro” on the street.

The rent is probably the cheapest in Bushwick (maybe because of the number of abandoned buildings).

I really don’t see any artist-like people around here. But there are a few. Cool people get off Jefferson etc.

Here is my view about this neighbor…

Beautiful view of cemetary on Wilson stop.
No Supermarket (I have to go to Mytle or Halsey. I hope there will be one around here.)
Everybody speaks Spanish
A lot of schools
There is one good Pizza place
24hr Deli on Wilson (One-way Deli) is convinient
There is a hardware shop on Wilson, but kinda pricy
A lot of Laundry place & dry cleaning
There is a very cheap 99 cent shop on Wilson

I will put more later…
