「HKU MUSE繆思樂季」之佛斯特與梅尼可夫 「貝多芬小提琴奏鳴曲全集」，31日晚在 香港大學 開始第一場演出。

這是三年隔絕之後我第一次現場聆聽國際一線演奏家的演出，「繆思樂季」在港大也已經走過十年，期間著名樂評人士經常評述它的系列國際頂級演出，可謂星光熠熠。

昨晚的現場，當佛斯特拉響弓弦，現場鴉雀無聲，修養與素質令我肅然起敬。佛斯特的演奏正如「衛報」所稱「帶有思想的演奏，別的演奏家只是炫人眼目」。閉目現場聆聽，聽佛斯特的觀點。佛斯特與梅尼可夫的唱片現場有售，當即買下兩套。他們既是唱片明星，也是當下炙手可熱的現場演奏家。

所以這樣的演出不容錯過，昨天的現場空氣膠著，非常集中的放大佛斯特與梅尼可夫的現場演繹。嫻熟中有特殊張力，也有我聽慣的極致的炫技。他們整體的平靜與理性思索令現場迷人。

新生代演繹經典，總會有承前啟後的新鮮意味，唱片體驗可能在力度、氣場、細膩、錄音技術等方面也有新意思。除了買下這三天演出的貝多芬小提琴奏鳴曲全集，還特意買了佛斯特演繹的巴哈8張唱片合輯。

港大半山昨夜雲霧繚繞，耳邊迴旋佛斯特與梅尼可夫的貝多芬語境，特別舒心。其實這樣的思想啟蒙最需要在大學開展，啟迪莘莘學子。它除了讓人自持，也提供豐富的精神空間，讓人不會窒息於狹隘的現實困惑。

今晚與明天下午會有佛斯特與梅尼可夫的後續兩場，值得期待。

WHAT PRIMAL SOURCE ARE YOU?

The Sun

Your Primal Source is THE SUN! You’re a fiery spirit with unwavering courage who never backs down from a challenge. Like the radiant sun itself, you are a guiding light to others, a natural leader who inspires strength and heroism. You never hold back your opinions and are a warrior for change, tirelessly fighting to change the world for the better. This can be a double-edged sword, because while your inner fire makes you brave and true, you can be quick to heat in an argument. The eternal struggle of the Sun primal is finding the balance between warmth, light, fire, and fury.

probably Hanzo at some point: "Sparrow"? Why? Because he's little, fat, annoying and shits everywhere?

Character Info Sheet

NAME OF YOUR MUSE: Duster

ALIAS(ES ) NICKNAMES: Lucky

ONE PICTURE YOU LIKE BEST OF YOUR MUSE: uhhh theres been a lot!! i used to have a whole folder of 200+ images but ive had to re-find a lot of them. a personal favorite is this one, by  雀茶 on pixiv. ive been a sucker for their design of duster for eons.

TWO HEADCANONS FOR YOUR MUSE THAT YOU’VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE :

1. telling yume doesnt count here Duster’s mother was named Ellie. For obvious reasons, Duster doesn’t remember her death, or her name, or what she looked like. He does, however, look a lot more like her than he does his father. 

2. His favorite season is fall. Not only is his birthday in October, but he prefers chilly weather and enjoys autumn colors. Plus, and not to brag or anything, but he looks pretty good in a scarf.

THREE THINGS YOUR CHARACTER LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME :

1. Everyone knows that Duster likes to go on walks. He probably knows the town layout about as well as Mapson, given that he’s explored it over and over in the dead of night ever since he was a child.

2. He still has an interest in music. Post-game, the rest of the DCMC brought him his bass and he still practices whenever he gets the urge. He knows it drives Wess nuts, particularly when he’s trying to learn a new song, but he Does Not Care.

3. He works out surprisingly often, mostly out of habit.

SEVEN PEOPLE THAT YOUR CHARACTER LIKES / LOVES :

(Not in order lmao)

1. Lucas & Claus (im cheating here but shut up) 2. Kumatora 3. Flint 4. OJ 5. Baccio 6. Magic 7. Shimmy

(i’d put wess but duster’s still got some Feelings about that whole situation that he’s working through)

TWO THINGS YOUR CHARACTER REGRETS :

1. Sometimes he thinks that if he had woken up right as the storm had started, he might have been able to help Flint find his wife and kids just that bit sooner. He doesn’t ever mention it, but it eats at him occasionally.  (He wasn’t around when Issac told Flint that he had heard screaming in the forest long before.)

2. Duster was rather quiet and maybe even a tad cold towards Kumatora in the beginning, due to his father seeming to favor her. He’s apologized for it a fair number of times, and though she most likely shrugged it off, he feels awful about acting and thinking that way after getting to know her better, considering that she did defend him against Wess’s criticisms.

TWO PHOBIAS YOUR CHARACTER HAS :

1. Heights and elevators, mentioned here. Given the option, he will take the stairs. Or make use of his staples. 

2. MUSHROOMS. He refuses to eat even ones he used to eat, point blank. He knows, logically, that they won’t do anything, but just the idea makes him gag, and seeing others eat them tends to make him horribly sick to his stomach.

//I picked late April for Genji (because しがつ... heh. Plus he’s definitely a spring child) and Aries seems fitting.

Aries is the first of the 12 signs, the “head” of the zodiac. The Sun visits this sign each spring during Aries season—which falls around March 20-April 19.

Symbol: The Ram Element: Fire Quality: Cardinal Ruling Planet: Mars, the planet of war and energy Body Part: Head, face Good Day: Energetic, encouraging, unstoppable, bold, devoted, heroic, caring Bad Day: Proud, self-centered, impulsive, bossy, stubborn, reckless, jealous Favorite Things: Competitive games, new clothes, road trips (in fast red cars), debating, expressing themselves through stunning verbal and physical feats What They Hate: Sharing their toys, being ignored, cramped spaces, losing, the word “no” Secret Wish: To be number one How to Spot Them: High foreheads, focused or manic energy, aggressive stance Keywords: Willpower, Initiative, Determination, Passion, Beginnings, Self-Belief, Innocence

Aries People: What They’re Like

Aries people tend to have a lot of energy, which they apply to everything from tackling supersized projects to unleashing their lusty libidos with a lover. This confident sign is known to leap before looking, diving into each new experience with a zest for life that few others can muster. As the zodiac’s first sign, they love to be number-one and can be amazing trendsetters and trailblazers. These people are true originals who inspire the rest of us. With all of their fire power and can-do attitude, there’s nothing an Aries can’t (and won’t) take on. At times, Aries can be selfish or overly focused on themselves. It can be a “blind spot” for them, and friends of Aries may need to gently remind them from time to time to share their toys. Aries are born with an innate sense of entitlement, which helps them shatter glass ceilings but can also be off-putting to people in extreme doses. This go-getter sign can come across as abrasive or overly aggressive. However, Aries will never back down from a challenge and can be heroic champions of anyone in distress.

《Silver Muse的第一場獨奏會》 第一場音樂會在4/22晚上十點。 說實在的這是一場讓我覺得很不真實感的音樂會。因為我幾天前才臨時接到Silversea的邀約，然後趕忙整理行李，又經歷兩班飛機大延誤，所以待我從韓國釜山上船時已經是4/21的晚上九點。 一到房間看到郵輪長的信，天啊！音樂會就是隔天晚上... 因為整天的飛行沒法練琴，我4/22就是儘量抓緊機會練琴，舞台上是美國品牌Baldwin鋼琴，雖然彈過但沒有音樂會用它演奏過。Stage Manager特別告訴我，因為知道我要來給獨奏會，於是在釜山時請了調音師來，鋼琴狀況還不錯。 我很感激他們的細心，因為很少郵輪會這麼做呢！ 我4/22整天練琴、彩排... 時間就這麼過了，十點時，我上台... 非常特別的是，這個舞台有幕，郵輪長特別要求希望幕是降下來的，當他介紹完我，幕簾一開，我就開始！ 說真的我演奏過這麼多地方，都是介紹完觀眾鼓掌，我再出場，從來沒有過直接坐在台上，幕簾拉開就彈的！我覺得真是太新奇啊！ 我在幕簾後等待開場前一直聽到觀眾席有中文聊天！莫非，這次有台灣人！？ 我順順的彈著，偶爾腦中飄過前一天的場景轉換，不同國家的機場轉機、蜻蜓點水的路過釜山....現在在這個新的舞台.... 我彈莫札特、蕭邦，也彈蕭泰然老師做的幾曲台灣作品，來跟世界各國的聽眾介紹我來的地方... 結束在Czardas時，聽眾們非常的熱烈，好幾位站起來鼓掌... 其實我覺得有點心虛，覺得若能少一點奔波應該可以更好... 不過大家好熱情，讓我好感動啊！ 結束後回到房間，我到甲板陽台看海，細想這一切的發生，也才終於會意過來，隔天要去京都了啊！我是真的到了Silver Muse，要開始遊歷日本各地了⋯⋯ 一切來的好突然，讓我恍神好久... 獨奏會後的那晚，我在月光下的大海前，又雀躍的難以入眠.... #PianistOnCruise #silvermuse （在 Kyoto Prefecture） https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpFVDmHZKo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fwfps2mgzkj1

I bet he still does stand behind Zenyatta murdering with gaze. Just harder to tell with the helmet and nice green lights...

All the rude voicelines so many characters have with Zenyatta makes me realize how often he must get such reactions. And he is used to them, they roll off him like raindrops, he don’t give a single fuck.

But I do like to think that Genji, after he had gotten attached to Zen but before he found all his inner peace, just stood behind him with glowing death eyes every time he heard such comments. Barely resisting going murderous.

Mercy: If you want healing, I need at least three forms of I.D., your life insurance number, and a high-res photo of your ankle.

Genji: Why the last part?

Mercy: I’ll be totally honest. I don’t need the photo. I just like to see how far I can go before patients notice what I ask for. You’d be surprised. I own at least three human souls.
