Hi everyone,
Greetings from Australia! It's great to be back on the forum.
This year I have formed my own percussion quartet. We have started writing our own original pieces (mallets, drumming, body percussion, novelty pieces) and are really committed to creating something different. We are very much influenced by more commercial groups like STOMP.
We are all very committed, but I sometimes worry that this group does not have an audience. Do you have any advice on possible performance opportunities for this kind of group? And perhaps ways we could engage with and ways we can build an audience? In the future, we are interested in:
- Corporate functions
- School workshops
- Showcase concerts
- YouTube covers/arrangements of pop songs
- Collaboration with filmmakers
Gear is also an issue as we are only university students, but I would appreciate any ideas that would make this ensemble truly stand out and make a difference in the community.
Here's a clip so you can see what we're all about - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08eiCg55nYU&feature=plcp
