Using the Trumpet to Create Metal:  Jerome’s Reise um Die Erde

Jerome Burns

About this exposition

The purpose of the present research was initially to explore new ways of playing the trumpet by fusing elements of metal into improvisation, seeking to achieve an authentic metal sound on the trumpet. Can and should the trumpet be used to create and experiment with heavy metal sounds, especially after intently studying Stockhausen’s LICHT opera cycle? The research project is multifaceted, combining my own personal dedication and keen interests in Meshuggah and Stockhausen together to unveil unexplored territory for the trumpet. An exploration of the music of groundbreaking metal band Meshuggah and researching ways of bringing trumpet playing to the world of metal led to deeper explorations of my own improvisations in general. The original idea of fusing trumpet and metal, Stockhausen and Meshuggah, became a new and exciting project altogether.
