This incredible instrument deserves to be better known
Can you write anything of any meaning in just 5 minutes? Particularly for an instrument you've never experienced before. That's what Zoë Marlew and myself tested in this episode when we met up with Mantawoman (aka Reylon Yount) who plays the Chinese Hammered Dulcimer called the Yangqin. And we had a lot of fun!

J Dilla's approach to rhythm was quite revolutionary.

Is Einaudi’s music actually good?
zhlédnutí 138KPřed 7 měsíci
Ludovico Einaudi is a composer I’ve always struggled to get along with. But he’s one of the most popular classical composers alive today. In this video I challenge myself to get to know his music better and see if I can come to some kind of understanding as to what it is I’m missing that so many other people enjoy in it.

What is Classical Vaporwave?
zhlédnutí 382KPřed 8 měsíci
Vaporwave is a form of electronic music and internet culture that emerged in the 2010s. It generally involves stealing old tracks and slowing them down to create something weirdly nostalgic. So making a classical version it seems like a strange thing to do - but that's why I did, with the help of Daniel Hope and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra.

The Worst Area of Music

As composers we think about melody, harmony and rhythm. But if that's ALL we think about, we may find our music turns 'beige' - in this video I talk about how to use the musical space and the register of instruments to avoid the dreaded 'Beige Belt'.

The Hidden Influence On Music We Never Think About

This video is essentially about the way the design and layout of instruments affects the music that's played on them. I talk about samba, which has an unusual wonky rhythm as its backbone, but also about other instruments and the effect they have on music, as well as the choice of keys and the ways composers are influenced by instruments.

I don’t know anything about music theory or composition, but this was so interesting to listen to. Really incredible everything that goes into it & what people create.
Highly, highly recommend checking out Mazbou Q for rap out of standard 4/4 time
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I must be a musical genius without 😂 I could identify the 1😂
But wait maybe I misunderstood, isn’t the Pulitzer more about journalism or writing and not so much about music? Why would they care? Maybe I’m wrong idk
I'm not a professional but isn't Eminem's untitled from recovery 3 4?
The concept of intellectual property is flawed by nature to begin with. Ideas are not eligible to qualify as property since they are not rare resources, it also makes it impossible to steal an idea. In fact, ironically enough, the only way one could steal an idea is through the copyright system.
idk if I missed this section but was the swing by design from the start or just a natural progression from the MPC being a bit difficult and wonky.
Sibelius's 7th has one of my favourite endings.
You left out Ravel .
This guy fucks 👍
🤔 I would LOVE to know how you feel about "Not Like Us" . The work on that song is CRAZY
For a while I was going to call him an obophobe.
5:34 LOL my favorite cadence
Great video, would be better if the examples lasted more so one could feel/ understand the effect mentioned.
She died young. It's sad.
Green screen?
I think one of the weirdest orchestration goof I've committed was writing an alto recorder a member of a quintet I was in. Come practice day, it turned out that what he had told me was an alto recorder was actually a tenor. Luckily, this was easily fixed.
I have such a weird music taste with classical music, jazz and old school hiphop and your video is just like made for this.
Drake is my favorite MAP of music.
the crowd chant layered over the beat was one of the most powerful things i've ever heard 😳 please tell me it's on spotify or youtube or something
I love Beethoven and I love Kendrick but Doja Cat? That’s for the garbage can 🗑️ Ok that was wrong. 😑 im sorry Doja.
Suggesting 5's (quintuplets) just complicates meter. Most all rhythm is based off of 3's or 4's
Fantastic video, thank you!
That said, there's loads of classical music post-Rite of Spring that draws huge audiences including Ravel, Strauss, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Vaughan Williams, Bartok, Messiaen, even Schoenberg. It's surely just the most contemporary avant-garde composers who have lost widespread popular appeal. And most of them seem to have forgotten what the point is.
Everything correct. It sounds complicated because you use descriptive concepts of Western music to describe Flamenco. The typical Flamenco musician wouldn't even know what you are talking about. It is like trying to describe the French language but only use German words and German grammar doing it.
A very interesting video,thank you .
Maybe what almost all "composers" are putting on paper is not worthy to be relevant, or remembered. Anyway, in the era of DEI you can forget about honesty in the arts, let alone relevancy. You won't be relevant no matter what, if you don't fit the DEI template. Not even Beethoven would be relevant in our superficial, skin-deep society.
Bruhhh, Leos Janacek! That’s cool. He’s one my favorite also. Hey what about Fauré, Gabriel. They can have Debussy and Ravel. Fauré is great. Shostakovich of course, Prokofiev, all time great favorite, Franz Liszt, he kicks Mozarts ass and love the voluntary Virtuoso goal, achievement achieved! Like Yngwie Malmsteen I’m your face, or their faces haha. Cool AF
This has long been one of my top five favorite albums, ever. And you have shed some light on its extraordinary magic here. It could not possibly have been planned ahead. It was a beautiful accident, and had it not been importantly an accident it could not have been as glorious as it is.
👍🏼 @ the phrase “profoundly clichèd”
It's become academic.....
“The idea that to enjoy classical music you have to be afraid of your own body” Mozart literally wrote a song called “lick my ass” that is 100 times dirty than anything said in the Cardi B song WAP. People gotta stop pretending that sing about cocks and ass is somehow a new thing. I can show you Roman era poetry about butt sex, it’s not some new fad- human beings have always and will always find sex and genitals and asses to be hilarious (because they are).
I love your videos and keep returning to them.Thank you,David.
Brilliant,I just found it on youtube, but I will have to look at it a few times.Thank you for this wonderful upload.
There's something quaint about treating hiphop as if it could teach us anything or thinking its creators made breakthroughs by anything other than dumb luck
thanks
"How long are you going to hold this chord?" "To the end, my dear" - Beethoven, I swear
Great video!
I like all types of music. I like Kendrick Lemar and J Coles music, because they are witty. And they are both awesome storytellers. I still hope they can do an album together.
I lost respect for Andreyev when he compared some very short pieces by Webern (ugly, pointless) with Beethoven's Bagatelles. He also fails to grasp that by the end of the 19th century Germany was no longer the epicentre of classical music... the baton had passed to Sibelius, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky...
That's a really great video, I am a starting musician so I understood only 35-40% of this but I will come back in a little while and write a masterpiece using this. I am not kidding ^) Thank you!
Absolute rubbish, not even B Rich would play that rubbish. Stick to the easiest things to play, you might get played.
Lets think about Mozart who composed a piece basically called "lick my b@@ty" and another one in such manner that made a female singer that he wasn't very fond off bob her head as a chicken on stage on purpose
I assume that someone somewhere has created midi files of the Slonimsky material. Any idea where I might find something like that? Thanks!
Thank you so much. Such a wonderful teacher
Its proves that south Indian Carnatic music a well structured.....
I once asked a classical musician: „I love Chopin, Schubert, Brahms. Why dont contemporary composers create in this style anymore?” Him: „because its all been done and its not how you compose today”. Me: „But why?” Him: „Because you dont compose in that style anymore”. I wonder why composers avoid beauty in music. You could expand on what was created before, not reject it
Great job! Both informative and inspiring.
It depends on whete he's coming from in his heart and head and being really, I think. It has a simplicity to his music and maybe a deceptive kind of beauty......if it's truly genuine, then it is! Non the kess, for me thete is something missing, it's too much if one particular thing.
