Abandon all hope, it is demon time now
Alma Deutscher has become well accustomed to her public existence as an admired prodigy. But as soon as a performance is over, she will immerse herself into her own world again.:
"I walk around with my skipping rope. But I do not use it for jumping, I only swing it through the air and make up stories in my mind, that's how I get my inspiration. Often I dream of my wonderland where several composers perform and these concerts are often very beautiful."
Alma's wonderland is called Transsylvanien - with the German ending, mind you, just as names of local places and people sound very German as well. However, not the composer who has particularly impressed her: Antonin Yellowsink. He also lives in this musician's paradise.
"My fantasy land Transsylvanien is a beautiful place, there are forests and lakes and villas around it. But there are also cities and streets, which look a bit like here in Germany. And there is a famous music school named Mantonburg where all famous composers live. Antonin Yellowsink also went there, he is one of the best, I often steal his melodies and I'm at home there as well, but I do not yet belong to the famous composers, I'm not grown up yet. [...] In Transsylvanien there are many female composers as well, Shell, Flora, Ashley and Greensilk..."
Deutscher takes lessons via Skype from teachers around the world, and for the last few years she has attended a musical summer camp in Salzburg organised by the Vienna Philharmonic. But other aspects of her practice are less conventional, and more childlike, such as the elaborate imaginary mitteleuropean–esque world she has conjured with its "wonderful court orchestra", language "a bit like German" and composers - "Yellowsink is a sort of Schubert Romantic, and Schell, she is more like Mozart" - whose work she both makes and takes in. She says Yellowsink composed the main melody of her Cinderella opera. Deutscher also makes imaginative use of a favourite skipping rope which she waves around in the garden "while I tell stories in my mind and if the story is about music then sometimes a new melody comes into my head".
See you again once we play Earthbound and get to choose more favorite things...that feel when probably never as ded forum is ded
I am pretty convinced that there's a part of the psychic apparatus that one cannot explicitly control in the way we're used to control things, or at least on mine there isIf you were to be in perfect control of everything where would all the fun come from? You gotta give in to the things tupper comes up with in order to let them gain independence. Even if it gets weird.
Hey, it doesn't mean that I have slacked! I haven't had much time for anything these days (other than posting on your thread).That's why I rarely post at all.
I don't really do many things without consulting with her first, a course of action that has proven to be very productive. Hell, she even encourages me to do things that would mean less time with her but that ultimately benefit me. Wow. Tuppermancy truly changes lives, if you're up to the task.Yep, always listen to tupper. They're way smarter than us.
