Everything in its context: Waltzing in a big room
I’ve been discovering how to use space. I spent the Princeton Pianists Ensemble “Hell Week” playing in rehearsals in preparation for the spring show, Act II. I am in a two-piano, four-hand ensemble (with one pianist per piano) with another pianist, Amanda Cheng ’20, playing my own arrangement of “Waltz” from Aram Khachaturian’s Masquerade Suite. I had never heard this piece before I arranged it. When arranging, one encodes sound onto the page.
The Glee concert that I both loved and rejected and other thoughts
I did not glimpse the program beforehand, so the Princeton Glee Club concert in March surprised me with its first piece. The music was distinctly non-Western. The singers did not chant or sing in Latin, but in Telugu, Tamil, and nonsensical syllables. The soulful turns of phrase haunted me. The piece unlocked my imagination, evoked in my head images of places I never have visited. The piece was called “Gaanam,” and it was an ensemble-take on South Indian classical (Carnatic) music.
The crowd leaves no room for the unseen
The day was blustery and the door propped open. The only thing that stood between us and the wind was a curtain of strips of heavy plastic. It was 11 a.m. and the restaurant was virtually empty, so our server brought out a large bowl of dark chicken-bone soup before we had the chance to open our menu. Small tidbits of corn and ligament gyrated gently in the murk at the bottom of the bowl. I looked on with wonder: To me, this was the ultimate show of hospitality.
Why I no longer write (poetry)
Five months, three days, and 22 hours after I got into college, I realized that I had not written a single poem. There was one exception: A night when I wrote what it meant to be a young, young 18-year-old waiting for 19 and all of its independence to rocket me away from my parents. That night, words poured forth in a tirade. I remember one word I had used, a sweet word, corpuscle (which means minute particle) which I realize now should have been crepuscule (meaning twilight).
We voted too fast on the Honor Code referenda
Reading the outcome of the Honor Code referenda in The Daily Princetonian, I felt as if Princeton had arrived at a momentous occasion — 64 percent of the student population (around 3,330 people) had turned out to vote overwhelmingly in support of the referenda — but I was unsure whether I was to celebrate or mourn.
Amazon in Newark: Response to Max Grear
I’ll admit that my first impression of Amazon’s HQ2 was very cynical. I was stuck with this image of Amazon’s current headquarters sprawling across Seattle like a cancer, inflating housing prices, pushing people out of their homes — and then, the most hackle-raising image of all, constructing a homeless shelter to shuttle those people away. In a sense, a corporate entity had become a vast, sovereign force that had the power to relocate people like chess pieces.
