  1. CLASSICAL or JAZZᵃᵈʲᵃᶜᵉⁿᵗ musicians/vocalists† —
    What has been your most successful resource for hiring a pianist / accompanist for long distance collaboration?
    No, there is no-one local. Yes, I've looked. For years. It's all country and emo-punk around here, or the actually trained musicians are working as teachers and have no free time.

    My first thought is to go with Fiverr, but I wondered if anyone knew of anything "better." (Or anyone specific on Fiverr?) I know there are sortof musician-exclusive Fiverr-type websites, but I'm not sure about the userbase size and general trustworthiness vs "we hyped this up but it's pretty cobwebby"…

    † yes, vocalists are musicians, too — I'm just covering all my bases

    PS - Not looking for "live" recording, just someone I can give sheet music w/ some directions to and have them record me a track.

  12. [Radio Tavi] [6]

    To The Beginning (Kalafina, Yuki Kajiura) [Fate/Zero OST]
    youtube.com/watch?v=PPH8Y6sOLc

    This is one of those all-too-common cases of "haven't watched/played it but I know the soundtrack". Kalafina was a 3-person vocal group with Yuki Kajiura behind them and gods, they put out some real bangers :shiba_excited: in this instance asked to sing an opening to the Fate/Zero anime series.

    Often on Radio Tavi, I link a cover instead of the original because, much of the time, I find that a cover (or three) performed it so well that it becomes my default for when I want to listen to that piece/song, but much like Queen, the skills of Kalafina are hard to out-do and I end up mostly listening to the originals :shiba_love:

    Keiko is the singer that sings the lowest part of the three and has such a way with that lower register that Kajiura Yuki herself mentions in one of her many concerts that she has a depth and richness to her voice that is hard to find among female vocalists :bugcat_nod:

    Oh, and hopefully, I've been able to introduce pieces to everyone that they might not have otherwise known about or listened to through Radio Tavi :hug_love:

  13. New to you! My master's thesis from 1998 at UMCP School of Music!

    I juxtapose the nature of improvisation in two avant-garde vocal composers: John Cage and Pauline Oliveros. I called it "Everybody has a song".

    Only the nerdy musicologists will probably click through, but at the very least you can check out the new site design. :)

  14. Joan La Barbara “Tapesongs” 1977
    (Arc Light reissue 2016)
    Morton Subotnick is pretty cool. His wife and sometimes collaborator Joan La Barbara is no slouch either. She explores the human voice, technology and composition to great effect. Some really cool percussion work on this one too.
