Crazy how her saw playing has led her away from the idea of set keys and scales since the semitones aren't a linear progression of a single variable for her; to get from one note to another involves tweaking enough variables that it's not even worth thinking of things in terms of set scales. She seems to have developed insane muscle memory to find the right sound she wants on the saw, and combined it with perfect pitch hearing. Jamming for her must be such a cool experience, like dancing to the other instruments instead of thinking about the scale and "I IV III IV" type stuff. Rob's a legend for not only given these people a platform but being so damn talented himself that he can really show us how they think and work relative to other musicians.

You know what's ironic? You wouldn't write this kind of wank for a fretless guitar or a trombone even though a lot of what you said would still apply. You realize instruments without predetermined intervals are common, right? Most of your comment honestly doesn't even make sense. Microtonality doesn't mean chords and intervals don't matter. It could actually make it matter more, since you're using unorthodox intervals, which matters more than actual pitches/frequencies. It's the ratio/intervals that give the chord its sound, NOT the notes/frequencies. That's why 432hz songs still sound musically coherent when it's "out of tune." The intervals between notes are still the same. The only possible exception I see is if you have perfect pitch.

Man, I haven't even finished the video entirely, but I must say, that woman is absolutely delightful. Her personality just seems so bright and wonderful. She also seems like she'd make a great teacher to a degree, very easy to pick up and understand instructions in the beginning. Also, I miss my tripp pants horribly. I'm somewhat surprised to not see more people commenting on that, but maybe it's somewhat of a good thing for it being somewhat normalized, for lack of better wording.

@banjohappy Месяц назад

I taught myself how to play a saw with a cheap violin bow and an old handsaw. It really helps if the saw is shiny clean and very pliable. A stiff saw really wears out your thumb and hand that are putting the bend in the saw. Vibrato is created by bouncing your knee when holding the saw handle between them.
