Anyone else here a serial contrarian?
on: October 31, 2013, 10:16:26 AM
When my piano teachers wanted nuance and maturity, I had to bang away like the metalhead that I am.
When I'm playing metal, I have to add nuance and phrasing.
When I hear Mozart at his lightest, I want nothing more than to make it a dark parody of hopelessness.
When I hear an excuse to be dark and ugly, (just listening toRichter playing the Hindemith suite, op. 26), I suddenly get the urge to dial it back.
This has made my music-making career very troublesome at times.
Anyone else get this?

That's perfectly fine, you are who you are, no need to change to please anyone else.
You play metal with your keyboard or do you sing?

I can't throw stones, I like to add vibrato to everything.
