Roomful of Teeth perform Caroline Shaw's 'Partita for 8 Voices' | Music on Main 

Thanks. Now I keep hearing Picasso humming in 3D.

@@benm5221 best comment ever

Yes! Great analogy.

Couldn't have been said better.

@@benm5221 Please send me some of whatever you're taking. :)

thx

Thank youuu

From what ep is this

@@Blackkray777 It appears in a few different episodes throughout the series, more so in season 1 if I recall correctly

Not at 10:16 is when it starts. You should edit your comment cause where you pointed at is the climax and you need to here from the beginning till that point

the hell is empty and all the devils are here

Far and near are all around

Life is a gift… for those who know how to use it.

Tic toc, toc tic

🤣✌

Chills every time

thanks for not making it about dark ;-;

That glissando at 4:15 especially, it actually brings a tear to my eye sometimes it's so chilling...

@@t.u.7489 you're probably right - I just came here after hearing this on the Kanye documentary Jeen-Yuhs, so def a connection

As a Dark lover, nothing beats 10:18 to 12:45

The overtones are due to them purposely isolating overtones. There's a lot of overtone singing in this piece

a very sound vocalism...pun intended?

It's called micro-tonalism. As you say, it takes great skill to be able to sing microtones together like this.

it really is to just jump from speaking to the right tune, like damn! and with how smooth it sounds it’s so so impressive!

I'm absolutly neither educated nor hearing-abled but I can hear them doing very unusual things. i could describe it as sometimes consonance, sometimes consonant dissonance. Very harmonic eventually.

the detail of the pattern is movement

The detail of Saturn is eight.

I see what you mean. Good call! I've chased this up and now want to buy some Inuit Throat Singing on CD (or quality download) - any suggestions where to get it?

Y'all talkin bout tuvan throat singin

@@robertniedzwiecki5056 No, that's a different kind of throat singing. But I think you are probably right that Partita for 8 Voices features Tuvan throat singing as well as Inuit throat singing. Various cultures have a history of throat singing that is unique.

Yes this has 4+ techniques from 3 disciplines (I'm by no means an expert but I can hear) and various regions. I heard her work described as to a musical satellite which is perfect for this piece 👌

Uh oh uh oh ah oh uh oh ah oh uh oh uh oh ah oooooooooo uh oh uh oh ah uh oh ah oooooooo I think nothing will gonna happen to me 😐😂 this sounds scary to me

Thank you!

Caroline Shaw this letter was cute :)

This Caroline is you as well. Just from 33 years in the future.

Shut up I don't have a crush what makes you say that eww

My life feel like this at all.

Dolmen Music also comes to mind and it was written more than 50 years ago...

Second to last! Hi. I'm here now.

Better late than NEVER, I'm discovering cuz' BBC Miniseries, "Marriage", it's what brought me here. And Laurie Anderson 💯 and Phillip Glass. I will need to check out Gorecki, so thanks for that reference.

I can't seem to find their song "Applause" any where

@@MrTalkingCorn Very funny.

MrTalkingCorn 👏

Pentameron thankyou

Caroline was a vocalist on a performance of Reich's 'Music for 18 Musicians', so definitely an influence. Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kh3_erAHToE.html

@@dermotoc9594 Yes, that is exactly the Steve Reich piece I was thinking of! Thanks!

How clever of you.

Xoxo

And Beyoncé's Homecoming

That would be the composer of this work, Caroline Shaw. And honestly, that would be sooooo interesting to hear!

Which was the other piece of music?

@@maandalen for me it was Snarky Puppy’s Sylva, or A Silver Mt. Zion’s 13 Blues for 13 Moons. Both I can stare at the ceiling in bed with my headphones on, listen all the way through, and be totally moved.

I felt exactly the same when I first listened to this or rather it felt like after all these years of loving and enjoying music I had found something so new and amazing. I have been going back to it a lot since. I prefer this live version to be able to see who is singing.

Can you share the other piece of music you mention?

@@ajosemontenegro I wasn't referring to a specific piece, but the large body of work created by Canadian artist Devin Townsend. Albums like "Terria" or "Ocean Machine: Bio-mech" were truly the greatest pieces of work I have heard, and even after I wrote that original comment above he outdid himself with the release "The Puzzle" While Devins music would be classified under progressive metal, it's really much more than that. The dude is the most versatile, truly creative, and insanely passionate/intense artist I've ever come across, with stuff ranging from ambient works to metal to classical to country to jazz. Not to mention his insane production style. So clean and beautiful it's like listening to the sound of crystals, yet multilayered and complex. so many details meticulously crafted that I can go back to a record I've listened to 100 times and still pick out parts I've never heard before. Definitely an artist you want to listen to with your best headphones lying down with your eyes closed. The best part is no two albums actually sound the same. If you're interested check out "Hammerhead Sugarplum" off The Puzzle, "Deep Peace" on Terria, "Borderlands" on Empath, "Funeral" on Ocean Machine just to name a few and get you feeling out what this guy has to offer.

TheMobster1995 I come from 2019...

When is Mikkel?

I was already a fan - but it was great to hear some of my favourite recently-discovered music in such a great show!

Why is Mikkel

"despite watching the video on my phone" is there something wrong with your phone's sound card? Did it come from 2006?

@@evanpeterson7585 Buzz kill ...

I can't agree, I have some decent equipment and the sound quality is poor, over processed, with very distorted top end and blurry stereo imaging. Shame they had to use all those mics :-(

I was cranking up in my headphones, too xoxo

@@johnhunter4181 close micing is an integral part of the "vocal band" instrument. Doing Teethy rep unamplified would be like rock music without drums or techno without synths.

Finally I made it through Dark. I knew this Partita recording before. Only now I am able to fully appreciate how your comment can both have nothing to do with the show and be a reference to the show. I guess until we open the box the comment will be in a superposition of these states.

A celebration of humanity.

For me it was K-Dot and Kanye because they collabbed in a version of Say You Will and I think Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2. I think it's pretty cool how Kendrick and Caroline got the Pulitzer prize at the same age.

@@interweeb5289 you guys should look into Sinjin Hawke he was the UK producer who kanye had to work on his album who is very notorious for bringing out the best of Shaw's samples in his own productions.

I am curious though Todd, where else did this journey take you?

This is just perfect for Marriage. It’s all about the lyrics ….that’s how I see it.

Contemporary...

If you love it, it's not over your head.

Absolutely with tears in my eyes !!

Or, as if he starry night were singing Down at you, listening flat out, on an open field.... Barb

It’s insane! Reminds me of bagpipes.

plus philip glass

Plus Beach Boys

Oh good spotting. Agree!

Definitely some Meredith Monk

Ligeti?

I was lucky enough to borrow a copy from the Library of Congress. It's scored well, but a lot of the magic comes from the performers themselves.

Great description! :-)

Nice try, but it ain't prog. Believe me, I'm into prog, nobody in prog -neither singers nor instruments players- know anything about it. Prog is someway always blues-pentatonic or at least tonally based. This is not. This is ACAPELLA CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL MUSIC. Schoenberg, Berio, Stockhausen, Boulez, Nono, Messiaen, you know, that stuff. Way far beyond prog. Love it.

@@KsPpng It's a suite so yeah, pretty neo.

Understatement: "CS is a genius."

It's set too loud, for some reason.

That’s how I found this piece and became obsessed! Brilliance.

nonsense

Yes, many people focus on the 3rd movement of Sinfonia for obvious reasons but the four outer movements have some brilliant choral writing.

Roomful of Teeth’s performance of that was incredible too. I met five of the members today.

Nothing special here.

It's actually not written by Shaw, she's quoting an old hymn.

+shnimmuc well that's a subjective statement

Imagine never accomplishing anything spectacular in your life and living the rest of it closed off to interesting and creative works of arts like this one.

Kind of reminds me of castlevania SOTN
