Bella Tromba

6 March 2006, by Andy Hume

The trumpet quartet Bella Tromba, has recently gone live with their new website. Having worked alongside Artist Logs for more time than is really healthy on this project, it is a nice one to finally get out the door.

The best news is, that they’re blogging. About all things chamber music, and particularly brass chamber music. So keep an eye out and make sure to subscribe to the blog.

What do musicians need/want in a site?

3 September 2005, by Andy Hume

Someone knows the answer.

Ask over at RobsHouse.net - someone that gets it. Points 1 and 2 struck a chord with me in particular (and this was written over a year ago).

  1. Personal blog site. As a musician, I would like a site where I can write small articles, announcements, open letters etc., and not have to worry about the technical aspects of linking and publishing. I would like to decide whether users can comment on my entries, and have the power to unpublish them if I need to.
  2. There are few (if any) popular and modern forums for classical musicians. This is odd, since horn players alone can debate a topic such as mouthpieces or fingerings for ages. I would like to see a site with active forums for musicians.

Fine Arts Brass Website

2 July 2005, by Andy Hume

A website that is increasingly impressing me these days is the Fine Arts Brass site. There is a lot that these guys are doing right, and I’m not just talking about their phenomenal performing skills!

They are building a community around their message board, and the site is a constantly fluctuating reflection of their personality. It really is fun to go and spend a few minutes looking around. Go check it out.

I’ve been lucky enough to see these guys perform a couple of times—and work with some of their members in the past—and their site truly is a reflection of the excitement and personality you get at one of their recitals or concerts. If only more chamber ensembles put in the time and effort to create sites like this!
