Der Stand der Dinge (4): Der Komponist, das unbekannte Wesen

Vielleicht ist das neue Design des Bad Blogs ein guter Anlass dazu. Natürlich gibt es nie einen endgültigen „Stand der Dinge“, alles ist im Fluss. Aber...

Großartiger Händel-Shred

Großartiger Händel-Shred

Bereits zu Beginn des Jahres 2011 veröffentlichte ich damals diesen Beitrag zur Philosophie des musikalischen Shreds. Jetzt ist ein Shred aufgetaucht, der alle Kriterien eines absoluten Nummer-1-Shreds in sich vereint, denn diese vorbildliche Komposition ist wunderschön synchron, nutzt jede kleine Geste (zum Beispiel das ganz kurze Zunge-Rausstrecken einer Sängerin) für...

Immer wieder aufs Neue werden die falschen Aspekte hervorgehoben und seine wesentliche kreative Leistung wird übersehen. Dabei wäre es doch wichtig, dass man die Schöpfung dieses Großmeisters endlich einmal so würdigt, wie sie intendiert ist.

An interview with Dan Tramte – creator of Score Follower channel on youtube (part 1)

Probably most of you have at some point used youtube to read scores along with the music. There are many fantastic videos around which follow the music exactly and turn the pages for you. Although many of these videos are for classical music there are dedicated channels especially for contemporary music, and they feature a lot of music that would probably be hard to get as scores.
But who are the great people behind these efforts? Are they doing it as a hobby? Are they composers themselves? What drives them to put so much work into something that benefits the modern music community as a whole?
