quest for dark orchestra
Oct. 23rd, 2009 12:21 pmFound a lot of great pieces over the past couple days. Having to weed through a bunch of metal & neo-folk.
Just today I was listening to Doomed on SomaFM and heard a song by Bohern & Der Club of Gore which was just amazing. I thought I was on a chamber music station at first.. the piece was slow, sombre and had light saxophone blended in the background. Haunting, beautiful..
Once I have a list put together I'll post somewhere for others to use. :)

Dark classical & opera
Oct. 20th, 2009 05:43 pmOk -- gothic inspired classical or opera music...
Are there any streaming stations, cd compilations, or releases by individual composers (other than Brendan Perry & Lisa Gerrard) with dark musical themes? Piano pieces are fine, concertos OK.. I'm not so interested in world or folk music here.. just traditional orchestra music.
I'm all ears. :)

wow.. found this on youtube
Sep. 4th, 2009 12:49 amand it brought back memories..
i shot this video (below) at the rotunda in 2003... also filmed the entire Antiworld set from the same night. I didn't get any of the Brides who also played. Lucas stood on the balcony opposite from where I was for the entire CS set. Halfway in between they stopped and changed costumes.. Lucas and Daniel swapped between boy and girl in the second half.
I've only seen a few songs from both sets on the net since sharing them via SoulSeek years ago. May still have the originals in my basement... somewhere!
anyway -- this was an amazing night.. lots of fun and well worth the 16 hour drive.
I'm happy to see some of this old footage has survived on youtube. :)

Hey John, this is the machine i mentioned earlier. it's so horrible sounding.... kraftwerk used this way back when, too.
I found an snippet of me goofing around with this machine (recorded in 1993!)
(skip over the first 15-20 seconds to hear the Synsonics... the first few seconds is from a casio keyboard drum kit)
and something else i found on youtube..

I need two things - an amp to play drum beats, and an amp to play bass. My studio is tiny, so I don't need more than 100 watts on the PA, and I liked the Fender 60 watt bass combo I listened to earlier tonight.
But should I forego the bass combo and get a nicer PA which could then be used to play both bass & drumbox?

vocal lessons, trouble with scales
Jun. 4th, 2008 11:44 pmSo, someone at st mark offered lessons recently and we met for the first time tonight. I quickly remembered that I have trouble staying on pitch when singing *up* a scale, but am fine singing down the scale. Is this normal?
My ears are ringing
Feb. 9th, 2008 01:47 amEntertainment were fucking LOUD tonight. They sounded great, so did Bell Hollow (who weren't quite as loud). It was nice meeting ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greengerg in person after chatting here on LJ over the last few years.
But the best part of the night was seeing12xu & (alan, sorry I don't know your lj nick!) again, and meeting bubblebop_rot for the first time. Can't wait to do this again! Now can someone please talk Mike Hideous into coming south again?

I love her lyrics. No drum machines or oontz so far, which she used on her solo record from the 90s.
