One more thing I’ll add: To be even MORE passionate with your work now that we live in the digital age. Unlike physical, it won’t vanish or get destroyed in a fire - it’s now here well after we’re all dead.
That’s why I spend so much time on my music and why I get upset when people make crappy products. My work has my name on it - so it better be perfect. Once it’s published, then it’s final. Forever.
I have no association with this. But since a ton of you love orchestra + Doctor Who :) Also, we should do an epic collab like this together.
Pop-up orchestras are awesome. This guy should have made a cameo there.
what.
When ForOrchestra goes on tour, I want this dude front and center. It’ll be like the orchestra from hell.
Actually, I want 20 of these spread out everywhere, so it’s bizarre and unexpected. The person sitting next to you, in front of the stage, bathroom stalls, and at the ticket booth.

I’m Publishing All My Private Posts
Is it just me, or do private posts disappear forever? Do I really have to scroll down my archive just to see which ones are private?
So I’ll just publish them all. I apologize that I have to do this, but I’ll do it over night. You might see nothing because they’re from months ago, but you may (?). I really have no idea how else to migrate my archive from Wordpress to Tumblr.
:::sigh::: So this will be like pulling a Band-Aid off. Let’s just get this out of the way.
3 Facts About ForOrchestra
1.) It was originally going to be called “Lady OrchOrch” and only be Lady Gaga songs arranged for orchestra. I changed the idea last minute because I assumed the number of my arrangements (releasing one song per week) would eventually eclipse the number of songs in Lady Gaga’s library.
2.) The logo was originally an Orca Whale (Get it? Orca = Orchestra), but then I scrapped that at the last minute after this google search happened.
3.) I couldn’t get any traction, airplay, or press coverage because of the oddity of combining rock with orchestra. So I spent a year sending out my music to Yoga studios and Restaurants in hopes they wanted my instrumental music. Nothing.
There’s been a ton, and I forgot about these little 3 things until recently. It’s fun to archive it for future reading and reminiscing.
Call Me Doctor Who?
I tried mashing up “Call Me Maybe” and “Doctor Who Theme Song” together for orchestra.
It’s not working together. So I’m arranging just the Doctor Who theme song for orchestra, and it’s sounding pretty epic.
Are you all OK with that this week?
