Noodler’s Rachmaninoff

[lapis]

Inks can look good or bad, smell ditto, but can I spend time listening to them?

I don't see why not?

Thank you, @yazeh, for this review where you have put so much effort in. It is the first I ever I've been able to read with music background!  

It's also nice to see cat and mouse playing music in harmony.  However, the water test may had been a harsh stress test for piano cat.  

 

While I love Rachmaninovs piano music, I will stay away from this ink.

If you can, listen to his symphonic dances, 4th concerto, and  first  symphony. Very different.

 

I will - thanks for the suggestions. I have mainly been oriented to his solo piano music so it will be nice to hear a different side of him.

 

BTW, I think you will appreciate this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLcJuZa45tM

Sometimes, I run @LizEF video in background, and get a very intriguing sound tracks. It reminds me of Pierre Schaeffer's Musique Concrète

Do you remember that The Herman's Hermits recorded

There's a kind of hush, all over Liz' place tonight...?

 

Have fun!

Some cats like water

Our Maine Coon did.  He'd play with the water dish sometimes, dragging it around with his paw.  Also, the people we got him through (it was a rescue situation) then got interested in breeding themselves, and one of the other breeds besides Maine Coons liked water.  And the cat that adopted my parents liked to drink from the tap in the half bath next to the laundry room (I think he was probably a little miffed when my parents had a plumber in to fix the dripping faucet).

Of course one of our other cats liked to lick the bottom of the bathtub in our house in Massachusetts (we could never figure out WHY she did).  But one Saturday morning, when we were trying to pack up to go to something northeast of Boston, we suddenly heard "sploosh" -- followed by a lot of scrambling noises.  And it turned out that Peri hadn't bothered to check out the tub before jumping in to lick the bottom of it... (we had left some water in it, trying to get some humidity into the house).  After that?  She always CHECKED before jumping into the tub....

Thanks for sharing these stories.

I saw a documentary about Pet, on Netflix, and there was this bengal cat, going on surfing with his owner.

In ink reviews

OMG

 

Rachmaninoff as a pink color. Lord, how I loathe most artist-named inks because they are so poorly chosen for the moods and tones of most of the artists' works. This one included. This pink comes in second only to the pink Organic Studios chose for Emily Dickinson! I mean, really. What an insult.

 

Thanks for the review, though.

We are in complete agreement

I am baffled why Diamine named a soft grey-violet ink "Vivaldi". His well-known nickname was "il Prete Rosso" (the Red Priest) and his temperament was supposedly fiery and flamboyant. To my ears his music tends to sparkle with zeal and passion - nothing close to what I would associate with the ink's color, rather the opposite, pretty much.

So true. Especially with the modern day renditions of the Four Seasons (on period instruments) which sounds like hop-hop or techno or whatever, music kids listen to nowadays
