Exposition

Youtube as a stage (2019)

About this exposition

Youtube is an important and growing platform for classical music, for both audiences and performers. A wide array material can be found, from home video material of beginners playing their first concerts to relatively unknown pieces played by world class musicians all over the world. It feels like a treasure trove of inspiration, and I can almost no longer imagine studying and preparing new pieces without being able to do background research through YouTube. I would like to feel confident participating and creating my own videos to share on Youtube, and also provide a starting point for others who are interested in this. This study addresses classical musicians at the start of their professional career, comfortable with daily use of technology by birth, who would like to make recordings of their own playing within reasonable means. To explore the field of classical music videos, I performed interviews with relevant professionals in the field, such as Joram Letwory (videographer) and Diamanda Dramm (violinist). Based on these interviews, I have experimented with recording sound and video of myself, using readily available tools such as phone, iPad, and Zoom microphones. This research presentation includes the results of my experiments, as well as a list of guidelines and considerations to take into account when creating classical music videos.
