So I've always had a pretty bad sense of direction, and it's not something that has really bothered me, but I'm starting to draw connections with some challenges I have when composing music, specifically, being able to use enough variety in my composition.

It just feels like I'm struggling to keep a mental map in my head, and often end up with too much repetition? If that makes sense.

I wonder if this is something other musicians deal with, and what strategies help them overcome it.

Tonight's Geography of Sound will be dedicated to new recordings of works by Gian Francesco Malipiero, Francesco Filidei, William David Cooper, Baptiste Trotignon, Nico Muhly, Sidney Marquez Boquiren, John McDonald and Yu-Hui Chang.

What kind of #MIDI keyboard do I need?

Question for #musicians and #composers: I need to finally get an electronic keyboard to compose with. I’m not a performer, can’t really play piano, but I still prefer weighted keys with realistic touch and good sound. Must have headphone jack and MIDI in/out to enter music into my notation software and to work with a #DAW. I don’t know what other features might be useful.

What do you use or recommend? Thanks!
