I am psyched to be recording in the Kawai Australia showroom today! Fingers crossed for some good takes! 🤞🏼

You know it's been a WILD day when AOC, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump Jr. and Dave Portnoy all agree on something.

Breathing deep into your diaphragm and abdomen will send signals to your vagus nerve which will then help you reach a parasympathetic (relaxed and calmer) state. This has been especially helpful for performance anxiety and managing stress when I’m performing. #breath #jamesnestor

One of the most important parts of sharing music is to impart meaning. Meaning behind the music, the meaning presented through the story of the melodies, harmonies, and phrases. By imparting meaning within even vibrations in the air, life must therefore, also have meaning.

Bloody brilliant!!

Hahahaha 😂😂

Super Typhoon Goni is about to slam into the Phillippines as about as strong of a storm as the planet can produce If it landfalls at its current strength (195 mph with gusts to 235 mph!!) it will be the most powerful tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in world history

Chopin d otd 1849 - a tragic exile. What an extraordinary composer; like Scarlatti, he created a world of his own, where nobody else could really follow - a world of breathtaking beauty, strength, tenderness, pride, and infinite magic. "Simplicity is the final achievement."

Today's didactic tweet: String-players who make a point in baroque/classical music of using no vibrato seems to me as wrong, as unnatural, as using it constantly. Vibrato should express emotion; and I'm sure that was as true in baroque times, in singing & playing, as it is today.

At this rate, the rate at which rates are increasing will increase at unprecedented rates.

When an actor truly inhabits a role, then each facial expression, each gesture, conveys the unique character of the person being played/recreated. We musicians are aiming (ideally) for the same thing - each colour, each accent, each rubato, etc, part of an indivisible whole.

“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, everyday.” David Foster Wallace @garyvee

This company claims it can use nuclear waste to make batteries that last 28,000 years without charging

Best advice for dealing with stage fright from my non-musician Dad: “You don’t go into a fight thinking you’re not going to get hit. You’re going to get hit, so accept it. The thing that helps you win is how fast you recover.” 💥🤛🏼

Wishing u health and happiness and the ability to show compassion, love, empathy for someone else today! ❤️☀️

Face masks should have a reflective surface, so people who aren’t wearing them can see what assholes they are.
