Bumping into... Liz Lima

Bumping Into... is a series of mini-chats with a variety of peeps that you might run into in some of our local music communities. (There's a bit of an intro and my thoughts behind the series here.)

How are you? Where are you?

Good! North York

What have you been up to since March or so?

Dog - grant writing and then research and composition - some rehearsing (yes!!! Covid careful) planning - a little online playing - zoom voice lessons

Have you found any new ways to do old things? How are you feeling about the shifts in how music is being made/shared/listened to?

I’ll have to get back to that one but I find it hard to have only an online platform. Very difficult to watch concerts on a 2 dimensional platform when it’s not encompassing screen/film as a second medium.

Any works of art that have been a light for you in these times? Anything that's just been a good diversion?

Bach - the canon of classic horror films - the movie Swiss Army Man - David Sedaris books - Oliver Sacks

[Editor's note: Liz messaged me after sending her comments with this following addition] I forgot to mention exercising with 80-90’s videos from Richard Simmons, Kathy Smith and Jane Fonda. That was a huge lift

How are you feeling about 2021?

Hopeful optimistic and kind of neutral

Anything else we'd chat about if we bumped into each other?

I have a Christmas tree and listened to my classic Sinatra Christmas, nightmare before Christmas, Elvis Christmas...
