I was so damn jealous of my brothers' band. I'd go to the shows, and even if there were only a handful of people, there was so much energy in those rooms.
The last band they had was "hardcore." That nice line between metal and punk. their demo CD kicked ass.
man, i was jealous. This was when i was in undergrad.
Previously my brothers had separate projects. and i was jealous of those. I was learning classical music, a big band geek, went into music ed. Thought conducting a HS band would be the closest to being a rockstar i'd ever get.
I was always so jealous. They both have much better ears than me. all the training i've had and my ears just don't get better. I can't play in that style. can't write in it either. lol.
but i've decided to. once i finish this overly serious Pierrot piece, and the trombone and wind ensemble concerto, i'm writing a hardcore piece
for voice, bass clarinet, guitar, percussion, and electronics.
and it will be badass.
There's still time to be a rockstar, even if it's with a trombone in hand...
