RE: Searching For Operatic Transcendence In Heavy Metal Music
You have to start listening to vocals as an instrument, not as vocals. I had problems with it too at first, then I just think of it as just another instrument.
It's kind of strange how I got involved with it, but it started with me quiting my job and the start of my freelancing. Always hunting for new income, I started to work as stagehands. I did everything. Rock, jazz, events. And then symphony orchestra. At first just to help them with the timpanis and heavier stuff. Then I learned how to set everything up. And acting as stage manager. I even help out with the sheet music.
That sounds like an interesting job. It definitely gives you a perspective on the musical experience that most people will never have.
The unsung hero of the orchestra!
The first to show up and the last to leave. That's me. And I never thought it would be so interesting. I even like opera! Who would think that?
