CLASSICAL or JAZZᵃᵈʲᵃᶜᵉⁿᵗ musicians/vocalists† —
What has been your most successful resource for hiring a pianist / accompanist for long distance collaboration?
No, there is no-one local. Yes, I've looked. For years. It's all country and emo-punk around here, or the actually trained musicians are working as teachers and have no free time.

My first thought is to go with Fiverr, but I wondered if anyone knew of anything "better." (Or anyone specific on Fiverr?) I know there are sortof musician-exclusive Fiverr-type websites, but I'm not sure about the userbase size and general trustworthiness vs "we hyped this up but it's pretty cobwebby"…

† yes, vocalists are musicians, too — I'm just covering all my bases

PS - Not looking for "live" recording, just someone I can give sheet music w/ some directions to and have them record me a track.

My friend Rebekah wrote a #poem about coming to terms with death, and I had to set it to #Music It took me about an hour and twenty minutes, one of those rare instances where I knew exactly where the song needed to go.

Today in Labor History February 23, 1903: Jean-Baptiste Clement died. Clement was a socialist and Paris Communard, poet, singer and composer of the famous song, “The Time of Cherries.” He was one of the last on the barricades during the Commune. He escaped and fled to England. The French authorities condemned him to death, in absentia. They later granted him amnesty and he returned to France in 1879. He helped found the Revolutionary Socialist Workers Party in 1890. Paris has since named schools and a street after him.

Aaaaaah! The #band played a cover of one of my favorite songs, “Via con me” by Paolo Conte! #chipschipschips

That #camera #drone is very cool-looking flying through the shot.

I love hearing the #orchestra conductor’s inhalations as the ensemble plays.

As a #singer, I love watching the athletes’ mouths as they sing their nation’s anthem — it reminds all of the power of #human created #music to represent & unite.

All these outdoor instrumentalists must be playing to a track — it’s so cold!
