Time to plan the expansion of artist roles!
Currently we have:
- Composer
- Arranger
- Performer
- Lyricist
- SFX Artist
- Programmer
- Mastering Engineer
- Mixing Engineer
- Recording Engineer
I'm planning to add sub-roles, which may look like the following. Yes, most are based on actual credits I've seen:
- Composer
- Arranger
- Music Arrangement
- Strings Arrangement
- Vocal Arrangement
- Chorus Arrangement
- Remix
- Vocalist
- Vocal
- Chorus
- Voice (includes Talk?)
- Rap
- Scream (Wikipedia lists it as "death growl")
- Instrumentalist
- (freetext field for whatever musical instrument)
- Lyricist
- Lyrics
- Lyrics Translation
- Audio Engineer
- Mastering Engineer
- Mixing Engineer
- Recording Engineer
- SFX Artist
- Programmer
- Audio Programming
- Synthesizer Programming
Some other possible technical roles (most probably will consist of unlinked artists):
- Conductor
- Producer
- Graphic Artist
- Package Illustrator
- Package Designer
- Calligrapher
Violent objections welcome!
