![]() Music offers tremendous joy, solace and catharsis, and when I make music, it’s to provide this for myself and others. Improvising like this forms the core of my own practice, as well as my teaching. To this day, I enjoy nothing more than playing unplanned improvisations, exploring melody, harmony and rhythm to express my inner feelings in a way that is clear and accessible. I simply wanted to indulge my fascination with how rhythmic and tonal patterns are formed organically from deep, simple principles and elements and to express myself musically with spontaneity, honesty and conviction. As a child, I rebelled against this passive approach with a quiet determination. Most musicians are trained in ways that are essentially passive – following theoretical or technical instructions or relying on intuitive mimetic skills. True musical fluency is a neglected area of music education today. I adore beautiful, soulful melodies, infectious rhythms, flowing grooves, lush harmony, all in the service of vivid musical storytelling. I love to create music that “speaks” directly and vividly to the listener, music with a real depth of feeling but which is always unpretentious and accessible. So, once these core fluent skills are solidly in place, I’m happy to work with students in any style or genre.Īs an artist, I have two main projects: as Phil Best, I create classical-based solo piano music – both my own compositions and improvisations as well as classical repertoire and as PJ Best, I create soulful jazz-based songs and piano pieces. Fluency in the language of music gives us access to such a wide range of very useful skills in any genre of music. I use a somewhat radical approach… one that I developed specifically for the purpose of training fluent vocal and keyboard musicianship ( ). My own experience as a musician inspired my unique approach as a piano teacher and singing teacher. This is because the conventional approach to teaching piano – used by my other two teachers – really didn’t suit me at all. But in reality, most of my fluent skills are self-taught. I was lucky to have studied with two wonderful teachers, who supported my desire to become a particular kind of musician – one with real fluency in the language of music. ![]() And I’ve been exploring this musical vocabulary and syntax with great curiosity since I was a small child. ![]() In short, less than 50 MB for all these qualities that each update continues to approach perfection, what can I say except that Modartt is unbeatable on his land.Music is a language shared between human beings to express deep feelings that are beyond the scope of words. Electric pianos (especially R2, for my taste) are also illusion, like clavinets, excellent. If I have not mentioned here that the model D4, U4, recently acquired, is also phenomenal as upright piano. Note that I only compare here the sound, the choice of a keyboard "all in one" or "master keyboard + computer" does not come into consideration, convenience fit for the purposes of course depends on the individual. As for the marriage with a more electronic environment, too, brings the Pianoteq own living next to the "real" instruments. Although the two musical contexts are different (against Soul jazz / classical), but to choose, especially when it comes to marry a virtual piano with real acoustic elements, the Pianoteq is needed undoubtedly. ![]() To complete the proof by experience no comparison between the two in studio version: The registered last year on a project NS2 Soul sounds nonetheless digital, where Pianoteq recently placed on the soundtrack of a short film is completely illusion. In short, once all the settings adjusted to my way, I get a sound quality and playability well above the Pianoteq, despite the recognized qualities of excellent NS2. And there is the great advantage of the latter, since everything is adjustable, the length of the string to the position of striking point and volume of hammers, as the resonance of the soundboard, much better on the plugin. Realism that I could find on Pianoteq, including through Damper settings and positioning of microphones. I still tried to get "closer" to the NS2 several levels being used on some concerts practicing Yamaha C3/C7 or Steinway Model D, with quite reactive dampers, I particularly like the ability to disable the long release of NS2, which I think brings a lot of realism and sound game (others say the same thing "with" !). However, taking the time to compare two equal volumes ( NS2 Steinway D Close Pianoteq against D4 Jazz AB without reverb), I finally looked for Pianoteq. It always takes time to adjust when going from a very clean Pianoteq sampled piano because the sound, the atmosphere can be confusing in this regard. Purchased from the first version via the group buy launch, I come back happily on Pianoteq 4.5, after a break of 18 months hardware via the Nord Stage 2 for live AND studio.

In major depression, mood and/or interest (pleasure) are decreased for most of two weeks. In grief, painful feelings come in waves, often intermixed with positive memories of the deceased. ![]() They are also different in important ways: Both grief and depression may involve intense sadness and withdrawal from usual activities. The grieving process is natural and unique to each individual and shares some of the same features of depression. Those experiencing loss often might describe themselves as being “depressed.”īut being sad is not the same as having depression. It is normal for feelings of sadness or grief to develop in response to such situations. The death of a loved one, loss of a job or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.ĭepression Is Different From Sadness or Grief/Bereavement Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life.

Their pickaxe and back bling also tell a story, which is why we’re opening this list to include additional sweaty Fortnite cosmetics.Īs we said, a lot of the skins from last year are still drenched in sweat, and you’ll see a lot of them on this list. However, as players evolve and more skins are released, we will continue to update this list with the sweatiest of skins. Here are the top 10 sweatiest cosmetics in Fortnite. In our first article, we listed the “OG Skins” as some of the sweatiest cosmetics in Fortnite. A lot of the sweatiest players today weren’t playing when Renegade Raider and Black Knight were available.

The Recon Expert was a rare skin, but new sweats were given the opportunity to purchase it after its re-release. Unlike Ghoul Trooper or Skull Trooper, OG owners weren’t given an exclusive style. Now, it’s impossible to discern an OG sweat from a wannabe. This is an OG skin that has stood the test of time for many reasons. While original owners of the Skull Trooper and Ghoul Trooper were given exclusive styles, the Pink Ghoul Trooper is the only skin sweaty players still use.įor one, it proves that they were around during the early days of Fortnite. NO INPUT DELAY SKINS FORTNITE PROĪnd two, it’s a female skin which many pro players prefer. It isn’t used in competitive play because of its vibrant colors, but sweaty players will show their dominance wearing the Pink Ghoul Trooper in Pubs. ![]() Banner Brigade setīanner Brigade may have overtaken the Soccer skins in terms of the sweatiest set in Fortnite. They offer substantial value for their price – only 800 V-Bucks with the ability to customize the style – but seem to be dominated by those at the top level. We aren’t seeing as many Banner Brigade skins as we were last year, but the two back bling options are still very common. These are the only cosmetics that make your Banner mean something, and the customization options make them a good value. ![]() Speaking of Soccer Skins, you didn’t really think they wouldn’t be on the list did you? These are iconic skins for sweaty players. Mainly younger players who had to coax their parents into buying them V-Bucks so they could buy their own customizable skin.
![]() Man Coverage in this game is essentially useless on 3rd down(or when CPU begins 2 minute drill), even the best CBs in the game get burned regularly. While attempting to reposition the safety to be brought back to the line of scrimmage only to face the sideline (or sometimes even turn his back to the offense) after switching to another defender. When attempting press coverage with a safety blitz the safety(ies) will run back to their usual safety position upon adjusting coverage to press. CPU receivers (even average receivers) seem to always make highly contested spectacular catches. AI defenders (even all pros like Kuechly) often watch the ball sail near them with no reaction. CPU will also attempt onside kicks during blowouts, the more frustrating aspect is that the game will not allow you (in my experience) to audible into the formation to counter their onside kick attempt. CPU will go for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter even during laughable blow outs (most recent was a 45 - 3 game with 4 mins left to play) 4. Kick meter disappears (usually in 3rd or 4th quarters) 3. ![]() CBs will sometimes run away from receiver in man coverage (without any fakes or change of direction from the WR). So far this is what I've seen in All-Pro simulation.

Alternatively, if after a few minutes you find that your bed is too firm, pressure can be fine-tuned by opening the inflation value and poking your finger inside whilst lying on the mat a few gentle taps on the internal valve seal should do the trick. Simply attach it to the inflate valve and perform a bit of "CPR". ![]() You can also use a mini pump to add more air if the mat isn’t to your preferred firmness, or if you are just in a bit more of a hurry (whilst it is self-inflating to a degree, the mini pump really does help give it that little extra!). It will need to be left inflated for the foam to relax), thus drawing air into the mat. To inflate, simply open the inflate valve and allow the foam to rebound back to its original form (it's good to note that with its first use the mat will not self-inflate due to being rolled from the factory.

After Clough’s failings anagermanager Armfield moved in continuing the Stylo Matchmakers / Leeds boot partnership. After Leeds had celebrated their huge successes prior to 1974 with Don Revie, Brian Clough took over for a notorious 44 days. As well as finishing as finalists in the European Cup Winners Cup 1973 and the European Cup 1975. Wearing Stylo Matchmakers, Leeds United teams dominated the seventies winning the English league title twice, the FA Cup once, the League Cup once and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup twice. Here is Don getting hands-on with the Stylo Matchmakers marketing shooting Collins in his matchmakers back in 1966. Revie was the first to bring local company Stylo to Leeds United legend Bobby Collins to wear and when Bobby wore them they all wanted them.
