DESCRIPTION:
These are two of roughly 20 videos that will be added as a recorded component to my dissertation. The videos include recordings from various microphones over multiple price points and encompass genres from the early classical era to modern-day selections.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
This is a very small component of my dissertation in creating a one-stop shop for artists to keep their creativity alive in the COVID-19 pandemic. Health concerns have increased the inability to play in large ensembles, especially as a wind player or vocalist. These are two of roughly 20 recordings performed, edited, mixed, and produced by me and encompass an entry-level USB microphone up to an intermediate microphone and audio interface. The works selected are relevant to what we learn as hornists for professional auditions, and works that spark joy in my personal life. Lastly, the arrangements in question are from the pen of budding young arrangers for horn ensemble. It is my hope that these projects keep them ‘on the radar’ throughout times when music is more silent.
