GM! ☀️ The massive psychological difference that p2p, v4v, and ⚡️zaps make for a creator/musician here on Nostr cannot be overstated. In just 3 weeks I’ve connected with so many individuals. For the first time on any platform, I feel like my music, skills, and artistic expression are truly valued. And your zaps tangibly incentivize me to keep creating. 💜 On corporate social I always felt discouraged. Nostr is different. Here, I’m excited and inspired! Thank you to all 300 of you who have pressed follow. I’m just getting started! 🙏 Here’s a viola improvisation that says “Thank you — I feel valued” 😊 #grownostr

20th note 🌈✨: Good evening Nostr! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day 💜 I improvised this 5 minutes ago as soon as I saw the rainbow! 🌈 🌈 The light and weather is changing so quickly right now. I jumped to grab my fiddle to capture some of it! So this is a little rainbow improv. Immediate inspiration to creation in the moment! I’m playing in a technique called harmonics here for the sparkly sounds✨ As always, thanks for your reposts, comments, and zaps ⚡️ 3 weeks into Nostr and I’m loving it more and more! #newmusic #grownostr

19th note: 🐔🎻 Alright — today’s video is special! It’s the very first ever “Encore!” pulled from the brand-new Encore List for the Wednesday Improv Game. Big thanks to @Grace and Truth for reposting with “Encore!” The word for this improv is “Chickens” 🐓 suggested by @Stacking Functions. I imagined chickens running frantically around the yard, maybe even being chased! Musically, I pulled from country “hoe-down” energy, chickens bakawk-ing, and the wild spirit of free improvisation. Hope you enjoy this finger-lickin’ (pun intended), free range, chicken-flavored improvisation. Have a happy day! Bakawk! 🐔 #grownostr #freerange #chicken

🎻 Here is my improv to @npub1klrl...7dr5's word “Liars.” It’s an improv turned mini-composition and video art piece! I did a little video and audio editing to capture the image I had in mind for “Liars” — something like: “Not all is as it seems, they whisper their lies in the dark.” Creative license! 🌙✨ And now… I’ve added something new to the Wednesday Improv Game. There were two other great words from @Stacking Functions and @Grace and Truth , and it seemed a shame to let them go to waste. So now, words that don’t win the improv game will be added to the “Encore List”. The Encore List works two ways: 1. It’s a bank of inspiration I can draw from for any future video. 2. If you repost the Wednesday Improv Game video and comment “Encore!”, I’ll play something from the Encore List — either immediately or the very next day. It’s both an archive of ideas and a game we can play together. I hope that’s not too complicated! We’ll figure it out together. Who’s calling for the next encore? 👀⚡️
