Chartreuse Trio – Spectra
Anna Thorvaldsdottir might be my current favorite composer. This piece is amazing, I think it's how the foundational note stays present through the entire piece. It's not a drone so much, but just a bedrock that holds throughout. Then so much of everything else that's going on feels like fragmentation. And then the last three minutes have the foundation tone in the cello, the gorgeous melody passing back and forth and the falling, descending ethereal gestures as well... It's so good.
Spektral Quartet just released a recording of her piece "Enigma" and it's really great.

2021 Game 147: Cleveland Guardians at Minnesota Twins
Cal Quantrill
vs
Griffin Jax
Final game against Cleveland for the season. The Twins already won the season series, 11-7, outscoring them 88-63.
The Twins already finished the season series with the White Sox, losing 13 out of 19 against them. Twins are also 7-9 against the Royals with three games remaining so unlikely to finish with a winning record against them. The record against the Tigers is flipped at 9-7 so also unlikely to finish with a losing record against them. If the Twins win tonight and get take four out of six against the Royals and Tigers, they would finish .500 against the division. *does the math* Oof, that is not good against all the other divisions.

Miss Grit – Grow Up To
One of my favorite finds of the last year or so. Loud and melodic, plenty of sustains and plenty of rhythm. Just like I like it.

2021 Games 145 and 146
Game 1:
Triston McKenzie
vs
Joe Ryan
This game went well last time and now Ryan only needs to finish seven innings.
Game 2:
Logan Allen
vs
Charlie Barnes
Game one has two right-handed starters and game two has two left-handed starters. Both of their ERAs start with a 6 and are closer to starting with a 7 than a 5. Naturally one team won't be able to score at all this game.

September 14, 2021: Siri
While I enjoy telling my phone to do things, I was slightly terrified when I turned on CC during a group chat with friends. That stuff is potent.
