I’ve got a lot of junk in my room…organised junk I might add. I just wanted to get rid of the clutter I have accumulated over the number of years. It’s quite annoying to see how much useless stuff I kept that went straight to the bin. I’m going to make it a weekly chore at least to get rid of some of the clutter. Cleaning through stuff always takes so much longer than expected because you analyse every single thing you throw away. In my case, I stumbled across something surreal

Ahhh, the joys of cleaning up - brings back memories (not that I can remember this one clearly as such).

I finally got around to uploading the rest.

Nocturne Op. 15 No. 2 - Chopin

Prelude and Fugue XX Book II - JS Bach

Study in Blue, White and Gold - Hyde

So after 4 years of hiding in the dark, I have finally returned to the place that started it all. I love the Albury-Wodonga Eisteddfod! It brings meaning to all the hard work (or lack of ) you have achieved during the year and to showcase your pieces against your contemporaries. Performing isn’t easy. I don’t consider myself to be a performer. I’ve had a few bad experiences in my day at the eisteddfod. Sometimes you will play well at home, but as soon as you are placed into different situations, your mind and fingers play games with you. It’s not fun I’m telling you - and every musician will tell you that.

I entered myself in the 18 and over sections as an attempt to get myself motivated into completing my AmusA. I had left it unfinished at the beginning of year 12 and uni. Now back from all that, I rekindled the dusty pieces and performed them last Tuesday. I was lucky enough to play good and win in those sections. I’ll be posting all the videos as soon as I have time to upload them all. Enjoy and please comment!
