JEFFREY FONG | COMPOSER
By "Journal" I really mean shitposting on instagram
Ethereal ending of my recent composition "Cirrus"(formerly "Filament of Sorts", iykyk)
The work was completed at @thecumnocktryst with the endless personal support and encouragement of Sir James Macmillan and @obettison . I am grateful for all the insightful guidance and engaging conversations.
The beautiful recording presented here was performed by the four wonderful musicians on site: @nessie.contrabassclarinet , Gordon, @ruthchinyeregibson , and @christianelliott1984
It was an unforgettable, exciting, and utterly inspiring experience, and it feels as vivid as if it happened just yesterday. Thank you all.
Lastly, a big thank you to @jm.canada and @lecalq for their generous support in making this invaluable opportunity possible.

Random Glasgow and Edinburgh photo dump
Absolutely nothing personal yall but my coffee spoons are cooler than yours, most likely.
Antique store treasure hunt in Edinburgh was very fun

Nothing to see here....just me taking a photo of Sir James Macmillan taking a photo. And @obettison in his element. It has been wonderful spending a week with the two G.O.A.Ts
A snippet of my vocalise for soprano and orchestra. This was only a reading. I friggin dream of hearing this in completion in Canada.

Ya know I may not be the best composer in the world or what not.
But in terms of finely mincing shallots, I can quite confidently say I have reached my destination after years of training in the kitchen.
How many times have you seen a shallot falling apart before you even start chopping? Leave spaces on the sides when you do the vertical, and don't get greedy with the horizontal.
Also sharpen your damn knives please.

Listen yall I don't care only 4 of you will see this but I pulled off creating a trill line that gets wider in Sibelius Ultimate 2021.2.build.3268.
I am the god in the realm of @avid.sibelius

Aiight yall I dont know what to show in my first post but here is a piece of candy given by Barbara Hannigan herself.
This candy, so sacred that I held on to this with the tightest grip during her concert with the @osmconcerts singing Claude Vivier's Lonely Child. It was a great concert.
Of course I flexed on the people near me, and the voice students from @schulichmusic were jealous.
