NMR Artist Spotlight: Indie Artists Arcanum and a Musical Too!

NMR Artist Spotlight: Arcanum


Exclusive NMR Artist Interview with Arcanum!

CHECK OUT Arcanum's album " The Cinema Sheet" TODAY at ITunes!
Who is Arcanum?
We call ourselves Arcanum and our names are Brett Schieber (me) and Tree. Tree is the singer, though this song is an instrumental. Our music ranges from acoustic to electronic, but there's always a dramatic thread through all of it. 

What Inspires You?
We are inspired by our lives and we both love drama, so we like to tell stories through other perspectives, as well. In fact, we also wrote an audiobook musical that came out last year and, as a sidenote, I think it's my personal favorite artistic thing that I've ever done.




I think our music is different because of Tree's dramatic voice and artistic lyrics and because of the more unique chord choices and melodies we write.

What is Your Next Project?
We will put out a new CD, which will be an electronic/trip-hop album, very soon (maybe within the next 2 months?). We are completely independent - no manager, promoter, booking agent, etc & we hope to get our music (and our "Wonderworld: The Musical" story) "out there" as much as possible. We've always felt that our music lends itself well to licensing for film, etc, and it would be great to get our music placed. Just like any other artist, we just want to get heard.

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.  Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of  the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
