Weird Recital Idea
For those of you who may not have seen it on the ol' BBS...
I am considering adding a visual aspect to my recital. Maybe some pictures scrolling (a la desktop) or maybe even having someone from the art department here painting a picture while I play.
What do you think? Anyone ever done this? Is this idea just too crazy?

Re: Weird Recital Idea
I raffled a canned ham at a recital once. The ham was surely better than that recital. God, I hope no one recorded it!SirCharls wrote:For those of you who may not have seen it on the ol' BBS...

I think this is a GREAT idea! Let's face it folks, the classical music firld is in trouble. ANYTHING we can do to make our audiences more interested in what we are doing is good. Best wishes!

Try and get in touch with Big Joe. He did a slide show while he played "Journey" during his recital last year. He might be able to help you out some. It's a wonderful idea you have. I wish you the best of luck.
Always remember that thinking just gets you in trouble.

My thought would be this: do something that adds to the music, but doesn't distract the audience from what you're conveying with the music. New ideas are to be commended, but be careful and don't let your addition dominate the recital.

You didn't say how long until your recital, or if you would consider adding another piece, so apologies if this is off-base: Try a piece called "(sp?)Escher's Sketches." The composer puts music to some of the famous sketches of MC Escher(sp?), which are shown via film projector.
I heard Richard Perry play the piece, and it's pretty good. Good luck on your recital,

If Skryabin can do it you can too!
In Skryabin's Prometheus he calls for a color projector in the score. During the piece he askes that colors be projected show different colors/tone colors and so forth. I think it would be fantastic to utilize more that one area of art in your recital. Hey, I go to Oberlin and using visuals during a recital is nothing out of the ordinary. Give a try, and play your *** off. Double the fun.

Re: Weird Recital Idea
A little weird never hurt anybody!
I did a tuba quartet concert where we had enough foliage onstage to rival a jungle, not to mention the fruit and other random objects (chairs, table, etc.) and a guy reading a book.
During intermission we staged a tuba theft and chase seen . . . quite exciting!
Nothing beats a good Tubaween, though! Eh, Cory?
