re: Pan

No, I'm not premiering the piece myself. I insist that someone else play it: I want to set that precedent with the first performance. It's not that I'll never play it, but I want it to be a popular piece that classical guitarists the world over can play, rather than tied to my particular approach. - My main idea for films is Bad Man 2 (which I haven't discussed with Ethan yet, but he might read this): I was thinking about my recent stories, and reckoned we could do a Black Mirror-type vibe with The Plaything, Choosing The List Rankings, The Day The Flat Burned Down, and Approaching The Infinite. And then Ethan could bring whatever mean-spirited sketch ideas are brewing in his brain. I'm not sure if anyone would want to act in those, though; my role isn't to hire crew people - that's what my brother did, while I'm more the one who manages the disputes. Yes, the thought crossed my mind that I could have done the list rankings sketch solo, but that's stupid. It's not a technical challenge - it's just that I'm not Taika and I'm better at voice-overs. - For those who think it's fun to needle me: Calling me a he isn't helping me, and I'd also point out that just because Tina said she was an actor doesn't mean Amanda is. If I'd wanted it to be a real autobiography, I would have used Amanda Michelina as the character name: Tina's a composite - I'm not the only crossdresser among my classical friends. That's why I think another person could make that role their own, while my own focus is mostly on fixing my IRL problems rather than pretending. I'm applying for jobs, but it's not a priority for me, and I'm not that certain about my September recital. My dumb phone can make tapes, but only short ones. I can't upload them, but I'm fairly sure my phone is bugged. I've always wanted a clean device, but sadly that's not really possible. Right now it's only a 3G signal, but Aj told me that the cops can listen in on those frequencies.
