Symphony Interruptus

  • Cellphones are the natural enemy of a symphony orchestra, especially at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins Colorado. The disruptive potential of even a single cellphone is quite real, and the concert-hall is full of them.
    No telling what might happen if a bunch of rogue cellphones infiltrated a concert and they all got together with a plan…
    Join us as conductor Wes Kenney attempts to tame them with Jim David's composition of iCanon, leading to Symphony Interruptus.

    A recording of this should be played prior to every concert, while people are being seated, so that they remember to shut their phones off.
    Or just invest in an EMP device.

      joke /jōk/
      noun
      1.
      a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
      "she was in a mood to tell jokes"
      synonyms: funny story, jest, witticism, quip;
      verb
      1.
      make jokes; talk humorously or flippantly.
      "she could laugh and joke with her colleagues"
      synonyms: tell jokes, crack jokes.
      But on a serious note; yeah, you are right! Jammer is good. EMP could get you sued.

    Winsome arrangement, and all I can think of is the TRex in Jurassic Park with that stupid ringing phone in its stomach. There is a place in villainy for people who don't mute their cell phones before a performance, or look at them with the bright screen disturbing everyone in the rows up behind them - while they think they're covering the screen... :-D

    It's sad, but we live in an era now where someone needs to walk on stage and take two minutes to announce loudly to "Please mute, or turn off all your cell phones now for the performance."
    But this works too. That's actually kind of beautiful.

    Funny, and probably one of the most innovative pieces of 21st century classical music heard in ages. Composed by Jim David and Charlie Hatchette.

    • @BlokeOzzie
      @BlokeOzzie Před 8 lety +1

      Hardly innovative, but certainly a not-so-subtle way to tell people to turn their damn phones off during performances.

      not innovative? in that case name ONE other piece of music like it. Just one, shouldn't be too hard IF such a piece of music exists.

    • @raymondwiggins354
      @raymondwiggins354 Před 7 lety +4

      I thought it was very good. In many ways a celebration of modern life - not merely a reminder to shut the phones off. I find the two main themes and their interplay interesting - one an iPhone ring, the other Nokia - symbolizing perhaps a budding romance at the beginning that progresses to a life together. Sometimes our protagonists are alone, sometimes in groups - but in the end - as in death - we are alone to contemplate our slow deaths. OK, maybe I'm overthinking this piece a bit - but I can't but think the composer(s) put more thought into than a simple melodic exercise.
      As far as other contemporary classical pieces that are innovative - check out the work of Christopher Tin (for pieces most people will like) and Pascal Dusapin (for pieces that only hardcore symphony people will likely like).

    • @raymondwiggins354

      Not sure which came first, but look up "windows symphony" waltz here on CZcams - similar sort of concept, though not as well composed as this one.

    This was obviously a part of the performance. People stopped going to orchestras because they were too boring and bland. Today's orchestra's are getting wiser and adding more entertainment to keep their customers coming to see them.

    • @jazz1279
      @jazz1279 Před 7 lety +3

      Aiwendil strings tune on open strings, which is impossible to use vibrato with. What you saw was most likely either footage from a different point in time over the tuning audio, or someone who was done tuning and just noodled around a bit before everyone finished.
