今日は武満徹の誕生日。1930年(昭和5年)、駒込曙町の生まれ。但し間もなく父親の転勤で大連に渡り、尋常小学校入学に伴って単身帰国、叔母の家に身を寄せている。
尋常小学校で音楽教師からピアノを多少習ったことはあるらしい。ただ、その後の音楽教育は全く独学。

The lovely slow movement of Emilie Mayer's a-minor piano trio, played Klaviertrio Hannover: Katharina Sellheim (piano), Łucja Madziar (violin) and Johannes Krebs (cello):
I suppose an #introduction post is long overdue.
My name is PJ van Mill (pjvm for short; 'they'). I'm working as a doctorand/PhD-student at Maastricht University, in mathematical operations research.
I am interested in lots of other things. Two big ones for me are psychology, where I mostly engage with niches that are critical of mainstream psych, and leftist political analysis, where currently most of what I read is from an anarchist perspective. I'm also into some areas of law, namely copyright law and Dutch law on associations and other legal persons. I try to promote digital autonomy and I like simple and well-designed software.
I love classical music; I sing in two classical choirs in Maastricht and I like to do classical improvisation on keyboard instruments. I do some volunteer work for my choirs; for one of them I am currently a board member. I also make sheet music sometimes.
I have a website and a gemini capsule, for which I try to write stuff (I have a lot of stuff in my head that I have yet to get out into text) and where you can find some sheet music as well.
What else... well, I am some kind of queer, but it's all a bit vague, uncertain and hard to explain or label. One aspect that has more or less crystallised is that I really don't like it when people make gendered assumptions about me, and I would hesitantly label myself as agender. I'm also autistic; currently not pursuing a formal psychiatric diagnosis. Lastly, I suppose quite an important thing for me is that I grew up christian and am now agnostic.
I'm not very active on here; I read a lot of other people's posts but rarely make my own. I kind of want to change that, spend less time reading and more time interacting.
