honestly, i was a bit wary seeing the title for this video, considering i'm a contemporary classical composer myself haha, but i'm glad you put the disclaimer in there, and honestly you were more respectful than i thought, which is nice! honestly i'm not really the type of composer who uses extended techniques, but not because i dislike them, because i like to express myself more with conventional ways of producing sound (and also because i have no clue on how to do extended techniques on instruments i don't play 😭). honestly though, i find them so cool, because it unlocks a world of possibilities of what pieces can sound like - the first piece for instance was so cool! i didn't expect it to sound like that haha the main problem i have with some contemporary classical music is that it can often come across as too academic and unemotive (i think the john cage piece is a good example), but i think extended techniques can be extremely emotionally powerful - an example i'd give is the piece 'black angels' by george crumb. it starts with an absolute sonic assault, it sounds absolutely unpleasant to listen to, and it did put me off at first. yet when i learnt about this piece's context - it was created in protest of the vietnam war, and the movement was likely imitating the sound of attack helicopters - it made a lot more sense to me. it's an incredibly scary movement, it is designed to give you a heart attack, and in the rest of the piece you just anxiously anticipate when it's going to return, and it perfectly captures the anxieties and fears of soldiers during the war. honestly, when i understood this it instantly became one of my favourite classical pieces of all time. it's also just a really cool piece in general - the instruments sound like bones and flutes in one movement, in another the instrumentalists play crystal glasses and it sounds so beautiful :D so yeah, i just consider it as a way of expressing extremely dark and unsettling emotions haha, it's pretty deep
Hey TwoSetViolin, is it ok in the comments if I address a very serious issue. RAFAH IS UNDER SEIGE! PLEASE EVERYONE SPEAK UP FOR ALL INNOCENT PEOPLE TRAPPED AS A RESULT OF THE GENOCIDE!
hearing the trombone player reminded me of this woodwind/brass player in my neighborhood who would always practice Grieg's Morning Mood at like 5 in the afternoon
Love it. Love it love it love it love it love it love it love it. I especially love how it doesn't take the piss out of all the "spontaneous" public music channels on RU-vid.
