Korn - Helmet In The Bush

It is harder to maintain public interest when playing less popular compositions. When, for example, I play Alban Berg or Benjamin Britten, from above, from the stage I notice how concentration decreases, because many do not find an approach to composition. Such situations are known to every musician. You play and suddenly begin to understand that not everyone is listening to you, many are fidgeting anxiously, openly letting you know about the loss of interest. How to captivate them again, make them listen? This is incredibly difficult. The actor in the theater has completely different means. I carefully watched what Klaus Maria Brandauer did in such cases, with whom I had to perform on stage together: he suddenly sharply lowers his voice, switches to a whisper, even stops talking at all. It acts immediately. People get lost and prick up their ears because they are afraid to miss something.
