as someone who has classical music as a lifelong special interest, when i tell people i listen to classical music theyre always like "but those are boring". and i always say that i dont listen to the "well known" ones, like cancan or whatever ppl think is "basic knowledge" classical music.

but then i find myself jamming out to galop infernal when it comes on in my playlist

but yeah all classical music isnt boring its all so very cool and interesting and theres so much emotion and story in every single piece of music whether its from 1720 or 2020

GALOPANDO CON GABRIELA🐎😃

¡¡¡HOLA!!!😃

Este blog trata sobre un deporte muy interesante y divertido.... ¡¡La equitación!!

Si no sabes nada sobre este deporte, has venido al sitio adecuado.

Aquí vais a aprender muchas cosas y consejos que os voy a dar. Hoy vamos a empezar aprendiendo que es la equitación, porque si no sabes que es la equitación, no vas ha entender nada.

¡¡¡¡EMPEZEMOS!!!!

La equitación es un deporte olímpico, que no es fácil. En el se aprende a tener equilibrio, fuerza en piernas y brazos y por supuesto ha trabajar con un animal. Primero se empieza dando cuerda, y luego ya pasas a una tanda, que es donde estas con gente de más o menos tu edad. De verdad todo el mundo piensa que la equitación es un deporte fácil, pero no, es un deporte complicado porque los caballos son seres vivos entonces hay que aprender a entenderlos, pero al final es un deporte muy divertido, de verdad. Creerme llevo mucho tiempo montando. Sí puede ser un deporte un poco peligroso, pero igual que el fútbol, baloncesto... yo por ejemplo me he caído 2 veces, pero me he levantado y he seguido ¿porque? porque es un deporte que me encanta y lo disfruto mucho ,y no os creáis que soy una profesional, aun me cuestan algunas cosas, pero como me gusta mucho me esfuerzo para ser una buena jineta.

Pero no os creáis que solo está la equitación, también están la doma clásica y el salto de obstáculos, otro día os contare sobre estas dos cosas.

Hay muchas escuelas de equitación aquí en Granada, yo por ejemplo monto en la escuela de equitación CAMAURA.

Es un sitio muy bonito y donde se aprende mucho, y además te tratan muy bien.

Aquí os dejo su facebook:

Como ya os he dicho no soy una profesional, pero bueno aquí os dejo un vídeo mío, para que os hagáis una idea: 😜🤪

Aquí me veis galopando y saltando, yo ya he saltado más alto que lo que sale en el vídeo. Galopar y saltar es lo más divertido para mi, sobretodo cuando te toca un caballo nuevo, porque descubres un galope nuevo, porque no todos los caballos tienen el mismo galope, ni mucho menos, cada caballo tiene un galope diferente.

Como os dais cuenta hay distintos caballos, algunos mas grandes, más pequeños, más rápidos, lentos... etc, entonces es como sus galopes, todos diferentes.

Bueno esto es todo por hoy.

Si os ha gustado... ¡¡seguidme!!

just had the weirdest orchestra stress dream. we were performing a piece called pico de goadi and in the dream that was named for some italian dish. and i looked up the ingredients for this dish after the (catastrophic) concert. the ingredients were things like inescapable salt and ominous garlic

Todays rip: 10/08/2023

Kirby Joins the Circus!

Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume D

Ripped by berg8793

Requested by @circunflexonoa!

A very fun part of receiving requests for rips to cover is that I get to fall into new rabbitholes of rips with references I'm somewhat in the dark about. I was initially a bit skeptical about covering Kirby Joins the Circus! when I previewed the first few seconds of it, as I just thought it sounded like average circus music. But now, between this and DK Rap God - I worry that berg8793 might be a masochist?

As it turns out, the song being used for this rip isn't just circus music - Circus Galop is an interesting piece of music history in that its effectively the precursor to "Black MIDI", otherwise known as "Music with way too much shit going on at once". Its a song written for the piano, yet frequently features segments of FIFTEEN keys being played at once and an absurdly fast tempo. In truth, the song was actually one of several written to be played on "Player Pianos", which are pianos that play themselves when fed music data. In pushing to create music that could exclusively be played on these devices, Marc-André Hamelin created a song that's impossible to play alone and only barely possible to play with five expert pianists in session.

Now, you take one piece of absurdly hyperactive music history, and combine it with a game franchise that continues to be known for its hyperactive music - Kirby. That's what our good friend berg8793 set out to do here, rendering the entirety of Circus Galop in Kirby 64's unmistakeably hyperactive sound. I covered just how nice Kirby 64's soundscape is in a prior post - Aquadial - yet this is the complete opposite side of the spectrum. Where Aquadial was a pleasant, casual, fun ride through two adored N64 soundscapes, Kirby Joins the Circus! is effectively an exercise in insanity. Yet its far from a direct translation - berg8793 has done an excellent job here in sanding away the song's rough edges to make it far more listenable, althewhile incorporating several different parts of Kirby 64's soundtrack into the piece. Altogether, its a ridiculously high-effort piece with an equally ridiculous source, and its a listen you just can't help but be impressed by more than anything else.

What an effort. Over £3000 raised for Galop. Huge thanks to the Galop team, my team of organisers, all the guest speakers and to chat for making it such a success.

I am never eating a jelly bean ever again.

JUST A HACK?

POV Frederic Hanson

Lately I have been spending a lot of time with Froya (Einarsdottir) who is the trainer of one of the best friends of the horse I am currently training. I train Flóki while she is training Gyllír. The stallions are literally best friends, and does everything together in the stallion herd. Gyllír (the one to the right) protected Flóki when he first joined the herd, and him being one of the bulkiest (yet shortest) stallions in the pasture helped him take care of Flóki.

Spending time with Froya and Gyllír made me realize that while she is a few years younger than me, she is as much as an adult as me, and I really enjoy her company. How do I tell her that I like her more than a friend though? Cantering then galopping around the fields around the grounds today made me realize that. That I liked her, that I was probably in love with her too.

I was a little nervous, when we slowed the horses down to tölt, so I took the job as lead rider, though she just laughed and and asked me to "Slow down, you dummy!".

"Yeah?" I replied, looking back at her, while expertly controlling Flóki under me.

"Seriously, just bc your horse is faster than mine, doesn't mean you can't wait a little!" she laughed back, and stuck out her tongue at me.

"For the record Flóki is not faster, he is just older and more sure on his feet and in his tölt."

"Still that doesn't excuse his clumsiness," she grumbled, and slowed down into walk after Gyllír had become kind of out of breath.

"Don't be so hard on yourself. You only began tölting on Gyllír for a month now, right?" he slowed his horse down into walk too, and even stopped him completely, so Froya and her steed could catch up with them. He patted her on the shoulder, and added, "And not every horse can be like Hrafn, who was clearly born to tölt."

She looked thoughtful for a long while, but as they arrived back to Upkeep's facilities she nodded with a kind of finality that I hadn't seen in her before, "You are right. It's just... before I came here it had been Hrafn and me for such a long time and..." she halted.

"... and you are struggling to not compare every other horse to him," I finished her sentence with the kind of ease that you can only master, when you know someone very well. And I do know Froya pretty well by now.

She just nodded. I pat her on the shoulder again.

"You did it once, you can do it again," I said, trying to cheer her up.

She gave me a watery smile in return, but nodded. I just hope she will trust herself more in the future, because I am sure she can take on any horse. Even one as clumsy in tölt as Gyllír.

Praise the returning sun! I'm doing a 4-hour charity fundraising stream this Sunday in celebration of the solstice, with the proceeds going to Galop, a UK charity that helps LGBTQ+ victims of all forms of violence and abuse. I'll be playing Vintage Story and trying to survive a four-hour in-game night, playing until the sun rises. Signal boosts are greatly appreciated, as my usual streaming audience is quite small. See you Sunday at twitch.tv/secretfoxfire!
