Sharks (I know the “real life” rule, but when Creation sings in glory, will not a shark be part of the choir?)

All sharks from real life are Christian!

#shark will be part of the choir so true bestie 😊😂 #all creation sings His praises you know. including sharks. those are part of creation #(basically the real life rule is about PEOPLE. i don't want to be making claims about other people's spiritual lives #whatever they say out loud. that's between them and God) #sharks #your fave is christian

You’re listening to Mozart’s last written notes 🎶✝️

This beautiful passage, Lacrimosa, belongs to the Requiem written by the composer in his last months of life. In fact, all he managed to write before his death was the Introitus, Kyrie and Lacrimosa, just three out of many passages corresponding to a full traditional mass for the dead in Latin language.

This composition is one of the most thrilling pieces of music ever written, connecting the concepts of life and death through music in a way never seen before at the time, and a crucial rise for this type of music structure that gives birth to other famous Requiem masses such as Verdi’s and Faure’s.

Mozart died in 1791 at 35 years old having written more than 600 works through a life that wasn’t easy in any sense. Alfred Einstein’s biography of Mozart is one of the best out there, if you are interested in discovering more about this prestigious composer.

His life and work gave music and society more than we could have ever asked for.

thinking about which bloodborne affiliation i would assign daan and him sacrificing an eye and being a doctor fits so much with the theme of the choir but im like. would he do all that tho….. mensis scholar wouldn’t make too much sense for him because he has a background with divine rituals (one that isnt too positive) im in a bit of a pickle. in terms of skills he definitely has what it takes to be a choir member but in terms of morality he isnt very aligned with the healing church at all. this is so difficult what would he be.

#🥪 #in bloodborne hed just be Daan i guess #even wearing a mask and having secrets and being connected to the moon has elements of the choir. #he’s just not interested in divine ascension. Too bad man #edit the organ harvesting is another thing…. #he could be a mensis scholar if the spirituality wasn’t part of their deal honestly

see often the prompt "what's a false assumption ppl always make abt you" & ofc it's stereotype bait, but 7/10 ppl assume that i was homeschooled w/ one! million! siblings! in the sticks, or came from some religiously cloistered upbringing, & am stating for the record that i went to normal secular public school in washington DC, i'm just autistic

#like oh I see you have bad frum-spectrum fashion sense & #bad social skills & a curiously encyclopedic knowledge of spiritual folk music #yeah sorry that's just autism #one year i was in a synagogue choir a gospel choir & an appalachian folk style band plus a southern #combo blues & bluegrass outfit doing covers of deep south blues & hymns. I was 14 #I love music!! I love religious music especially a lot #I was in Francois Clemmons' gospel choir & an Orthodox Jewish choir simultaneously #I was also also playing Sublime covers and doing drugs and dressing like if a tradwife were a man

Very exhausting shabbat service tonight. U know its bad when it makes you want to lock urself in your room and recuperate instead of actually continue to be around people 😭

#THere was some interfaith choir trip to isr*el so it was a bunch of old white jews and christian guests telling their little stories #about how Meaningful and Spiritual and Affecting and Beautiful the trip was for them ad nauseum all throughout the service I couldve #killed myself. One guy talked about a conversation he had with a palestinian man about how hard it is to travel between the territories #and how it opened his eyes a little or something but then also said when he tried to sell him some magnets for $1 he said NO? #Even though he also Lamented on how implicitly Sad it was that he has to sell tchatchkes to tourists for chump change like KYS ❗❗❗

#there's some talk of doing more like. get togethers for the choir folks to just sit and talk about faith stuff (no rehearsal stuff). #and it's like. yeah i love a good spiritual retreat sort of thing. love talking about faith etc with people but um. #if it goes anything like the last one did i'll spend half the time crying alone and/or end up coming out to you all. for better or worse. #and the guys who run the bible study started saying something about the next topic sort of thing they're planning to me #like clearly interested in having me come back for it. and it's like. idk. might need to do some thinking about the odds that someone #will end up going on a queerphobic tangent of some sort under that topic. because i'm not here for that. #had a chat with my dad a few weeks back and had to explain to him that like. yeah in theory i could use that as an opportunity #to make it more of a discussion; use a vague 'well i know some people have this other view' etc #but had to explain to him that like. it's nice in theory but also. no this is way to close to me for me to be able to do that #when it all feels like a personal attack. #anyway. idk. would love some more concrete signs for whether it's safe to come out to some of the choir folks because like. #gd. i fucking want to. so badly. have to keep doing baby step litmus tests and see how they respond to things.

already thinking "and by 'religious' really i mean 'christian'" re: how the term "religion" is not really useful when it's largely like, from a christian perspective, what is considered "equivalent" of christianity, see: perhaps a "rival"/obstacle to some person or group being considered christian....and even if not thinking about converting anyone, resulting in some at best misinterpretation / misrepresentation based on framing it through/as [element of christianity] and limiting of any more accurate language

like how tumblr recommends me a post about someone thinking about "religion" in general and concluding that it's Weird and perhaps Wrong for anyone who is a "true believer" in their religion(tm) to Not be proselytizing / trying to Convert everyone. like yeah why isn't everyone being an evangelical christian, they ought to be, benevolently informing all those around them that they're going to hell, otherwise. don't see any problem with this conclusion, or that someone's getting antisemitic in the notes already in agreement, or that That's Not How This Works and you don't just know how All "Religion" works based on considering it to be an alternate version of christianity (which in itself doesn't All work like that either)

#and even when it comes to having a Critical View of any belief system / way of living / spirituality it's like...people are on that already #without having to see it from a christian perspective or understand the only possible framework for it as [critiques of christianity].... #a dogmatic approach / doctrine of Salvation....not how it all works out there re: ways anyone can be anything besides christian #So Bizarre why everybody's not all trying to ''convert'' everyone else in the world....is it. #what; like; ''you'd think everyone would be launching an inquisition'' like would you. #even if you know fuckall abt non christian beliefs / perspectives / traditions/practices / identities / ways of life etc.... #we could maybe go ahead and question this conclusion. or perhaps go ''but also i know fuckall about all that so why am i theorizing'' like. #and again there are non ''western'' christian traditions....and of course individuals and philosophies within christianity who would also #not think you can only Truly be christian by going ''and i'd better be trying to convert everyone. or i'm being a jerk'' too #not actually the case that everyone thinks everyone else who doesn't share some ''religious'' factor is Damned To Hell or an equivalent.... #anyways telling tumblr actually this particular post? isn't for me. and i don't thank you #another tiresome factor of [mass at the benedictine monastery] like the homilies/sermons were especially exhausting #they always were but like ''what are you even talking about'' as one priest goes on about how it's silly for people to say they're #Spiritual but not Religious b/c the only way to be spiritual is to be christian lite & if you're Genuinely even christian lite then you #ought to realize you should go full throttle christian. like a) No b) why are we preaching to the choir here. we're all at Sunday Mass??? #not like any sermons ever feel that thoughtful when like too much analysis is like uh oh? a bit heretical are we??? which is not universal. #gee thanks for this [are we just supposed to all sit here feeling validated in our superiority; or...?] experience #wisdom you couldn't totally get from someone going on some self-assured monologue abt heathens these days over dinner or sm shit #really makes you think. and then someone will be really thinking & going ''shouldn't everyone w/a Religion be an Evangelist'' hmm: No. #and they aren't ''wrong'' about their own beliefs approaches perspectives identities traditions etc for it either. Done #anyways changed ''religious parent'' to ''christian parent'' for its own enhanced accuracy & precision alike....

Tumi Mogorosi - Group Theory: Black Music

Group Theory: Black Music is a stunning new statement from South African drummer and composer Tumi Mogorosi. Standing in the lineage of South African greats such as Louis Moholo-Moholo, Makaya Ntshoko and Ayanda Sikade, Mogorosi is one of the foremost drummers working anywhere in the world, with a flexible, powerful style that brings a distinctive South African inflection to the polyrhythmic tradition of Elvin Jones, Max Roach and Art Blakey. Since his international debut on Jazzman Records in 2014 with Project ELO, Mogorosi has been in the vanguard of the South African creative music scene’s burgeoning outernational dimension, taking the drummer’s chair in both Shabaka Hutchings’ Shabaka and The Ancestors formation and with avant-garde noiseniks The Wretched. As Mogorosi’s first project as leader since 2014, Group Theory: Black Music marks a return to the drummer’s musical roots. The sound is anchored in the transnational tradition of Great Black Music, with the core of the group comprising a quintet of newcomers Tumi Pheko (trumpet) and Dalisu Ndlazi (bass) alongside the experienced guitarist Reza Khota, with Mogorosi himself and altoist Mthunzi Mvubu, another Ancestors member, representing the current generation of South Africa’s creative music torchbearers. Motivated by Mogorosi’s driving dynamism, the group create deep-hued modal grooves that burn with a contemporary urgency, while established pianist Andile Yenana brings an elder voice to three of the tracks. Featured vocalists Gabi Motuba (Project ELO, The Wretched) and Siyabonga Mthembu (The Brother Moves On) take differing approaches to the spiritual standard ‘Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child’, while poet Lesego Rampolokeng pours out lyrical fire on ‘Where Are The Keys?’, creating a bridge back to the Black Consciousness movement and figures such as Lefifi Tladi and Wally Mongane Serote. But where Group Theory: Black Music moves an established format dramatically forward is in the addition of a ten-person choir. Conducted by Themba Maseko, their massed voices soar powerfully above every track as a collective instrument of human breath and body, and enter the album into the small but significant number of radical recordings to have used the voice in this way, such as Max Roach’s "It’s Time", Andrew Hill’s "Lift Every Voice", Billy Harper’s "Capra Black", and Donald Byrd’s "I’m Trying To Get Home". At the same time, the presence of this wall of voices brings an inextricable connection to the venerable tradition of South African choral music, and to the importance that the Black choir has had for South Africa’s religious, political and social cultures, including the culture of South African creative music itself. From the Manhattan Brothers and the choral compositions of Todd Matshikiza to figures such as Johnny Dyani and Victor Ndlazilwane, the collective power of voice has been one of the cornerstones of improvised creative music in the country.

delicate balance. rejecting repressive religious hegemony and establishing new systems and philosophies of spiritual involvement can be liberating and revolutionary or can manifest as appropriative, xenophobic or otherwise misrepresentative and crass attempts at filling a vacuum in life caused by the absence of true cultural ties

#in this case thinking about chaos magic(k) #we have some ties to it in our practice including work with egregores of our own creation/discovery #but we are a jew and as such a monotheist who works with a particular demon/sheyd #and have had very profound spiritual experiences as a result of that #it isnt more or less real to us than our work with the Choir but it has precedent from a very long history of people doing such practice #we incorporate certain elements of chaos magic in our work but i find a lot of writing on it to be vacuous #misinterpretation of cultural practices in a strange fetishizing way or otherwise lacking #we have an established framework for how we believe g-d and magic and such things work that weve refined over the years #that shares some commonality with our current readings that we're investigating but its not a hard conclusion to come to #but our system is particular to us has some core pieces i havent seen described elsewhere #and i wouldnt call it one to one with chaos magic #we dont align with any spiritual movement other than jewish mysticism #a #s #its virgil
