      Also, simply bringing yourself to sing that much dissonance, even if you know perfectly in your mind what the half step should sound like, is not easy when there's an orchestra forcing a harmonic foundation into your mind.
      It's definitely something that needs to be practiced a lot for an individual piece.

      Comments like this are really indicative of the failure of musical education.
      The composer didn't write the note out of tune. That is a quirk of the performance, which was transcribed by Mr. Collier. Transcription is writing down music that already exists in some form, usually for the purpose of analysis. Composition is the process of creating new music from you own ideas.

My brain just doesn't let me account for the timbre (the other, background sounds of different frequencies), is what I am able to make out of what I know about my perception of music.

I've seen Ben Folds many times who is another awesome pianist (and Tim's idol) who possibly still just beats Tim on technical skill, but Tim radiates charisma and extreme intelligence which really adds to the experience. His style is similar, in some ways but different in others. You can definitely see the influence. Despite being billed as an "unfunny" show ( music from his musicals, stuff he's written or TV as well as from earlier in his career and his new album) Tim had the whole audience laughing a lot between every song. Everything he played was pretty much better than any version of any recordings I've heard (he seems to have been really working on his vocals too), and he is without a doubt a genuinely nice, empathetic guy. Loved him to pieces.

    He’s talented and funny, but I couldn’t take it when he started singing ‘F shaaaarrrrrppp’! My son used to play all of these off-tempo and off-key covers of various popular songs, to try and get on my nerves, and it always made my skin crawl. This gave me the same immediate gut reaction.

    I'm absolutely obsessed with tim minchin at the moment I would LOVE to see some more transcriptions of his work.
    His most technically impressive song is probably Dark Side, not just for his great solo but also for those stupid high notes he sings during the breakdown
    But I'd also be psyched to see a transcription of one or both of his beat poems Storm and Mitsubishi Colt
