Hey, how's it going?
Welcome back to another episode of classical music.
You heard of Netflix and chill...
But have you ever heard of...
Classical music and chill?
Oh!
That's right. Today we'll be counting down...
Not counting down, but we'll be listening to...
Five of the most...
Classical music ever.
So chill that the temperature is gonna drop.
And it's so cool.
It's gonna be cool.
I think because it might get a bit cold,
we're gonna need something to
help us with this review.
Yeah, I'm feeling cooler now.
Even though, what -
Even though we haven't started, it's getting cold.
I gotta get chill, what do we have to do?
Wow, what is this?
Wow.
Let's try it.
Introducing TwoSet's first
beanie and scarf collection.
Our very first beanie and scarf.
The two-tone practice and a nice sewn-on patch.
This is guaranteed to keep you cool and chill.
I mean, the other way around.
This is guaranteed to keep you warm...
While listening to cool and chill music.
Um, no, but just...
While we're at this, we'll keep it short but...
We wanted to talk a little bit about TwoSet Apparel,
because there's going to be a lot of...
Exciting new designs coming out soon.
We actually spent a lot of time...
With TwoSet Apparel.
A lot of other Youtubers kind of just treat it as...
Merch.
Outsource it to a third-party agent
and to them is just like an income stream.
But...
To Brett and I, we...
We see apparel as...
Almost like a creative outlet as well,
a creative expression.
Because we want to create a brand...
That to us...
Truly represents what it is to be a musician.
Just as our videos,
we think bring together community of musicians.
We want to create a brand that raises awareness of
the culture of what it means to be a musician.
Growing up...
You don't - There was never really a brand
that represented us.
You know, there's Supreme for skateboards...
Yeah...
- Nike and Adidas for like... - There's Nike... Adidas...
Athletes, but what do musicians wear?
We always felt like...
There wasn't anything that spoke to us.
- Yes. - That we could go straight to.
And so it's actually part of our vision to create this.
And like Eddy said we are quite heavily involved.
Everything started from scratch.
Every design, we're involved with making each design.
Yeah.
At certain times...
Especially near the beginning...
We would hand send a package.
Those things to you guys.
We did everything.
So we're actually glad to where it has come to today.
Especially with our team.
So if you're watching and you're part of the team,
thank you so much.
And everyone works around the clock to make sure...
Actually gets to your door.
- Yeah. - And every order means a lot to us.
Every order contributes to this vision.
our vision of trying to make...
A fashion apparel for musicians.
A fashion apparel, but also, I guess...
In the bigger...
Scope...
A future where musicians have a voice.
- Yeah, I think that's very important. - I think so.
Cause we kind of...
Felt that was missing in our lives,
while we're studying in high school.
- Anyway, not to get all too serious. - Alright. Yeah.
But in all seriousness, guys.
- Check it out. Yeah. - Thank you.
It means a lot to us.
Let's get to the cool and chill music we're talking about.
Alright.
So, number one on the list.
Ooo, this is pretty damn icy.
That's chill.
Yes.
Keep me warm.
I don't want to like stop it.
- Yeah, it's so Debussy. - Cause it's so nice.
Yeah.
I love the beginning.
And it really -
The snow is dancing, it really felt like
the trickling of the snow.
- Yeah. Yeah. - And it's so random, right?
Da-la-da-la-la~
It was - Wasn't so precise.
It's absolutely beautiful. I mean...
Those of you that...
Watched us for a long time, you know that
Debussy is my favorite composer, well, one of.
That atmosphere really just feels like
you're sitting at some like wooden cottage
looking out the window and it's just snowing.
Just blissful snow and you got your fire furnace going.
- Yeah. - Tss...
And you're keeping yourself warm with TwoSet Apparel.
Yeah.
Here we go.
You guys all know this one.
Hmm.
Wonder if I'll play this one day.
Maybe.
Everything from the...
Muted strings, just like, soft ostinato.
You can feel from the music
when the violin comes in, it's building.
It's chill.
- Yes, yes, it's really chill. - It's chill.
And also really cool. It sounds so cool.
It's just amazing how music can actually...
Paint an image.
- Yeah. Yeah. - It sounds cold.
And actually for those of you that don't know,
Sibelius is from Finland.
So he would have lived in a very cold place.
His music speaks it
Yeah.
I mean, later in the concerto, it gets really
fiery and passionate, but this opening is...
Chill.
And cool.
Uh-oh.
We're going from Finland to the Antarctic.
Dude...
Is that even a country?
- Yeah. I don't know. - Antartica. I know it's a continent.
- I don't know if it's a country. - I don't know if it's a country.
That's a bad type of cold.
Yeah, it gives you the chills.
Yeah.
It's like a "you gon die".
You better get a beanie and a scarf or you're gonna die.
I think it's the dissonance.
Duh-dun~
Alright. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I was gonna say the rumble. - And the rumble.
- Yes. - Starts to feel -
It sets up the mood of where you're like,
something's gonna happen.
- Yeah. - And that dissonance just...
Adds that horrific Antarctic feeling.
I also notice...
A lot of these...
Cold music...
You don't hear like V-Is.
Dun-dun!
Like you don't hear 4-part harmony, like...
I-V-vi-IV chords, it's like...
- Yeah. - It's basically like,
- there's really low and then, you hear high. - Get really high.
Or for Sibelius you don't even have a bass.
- You just have the... - Just high part.
The strings are in like mid to high register.
Everything is quite high.
Not to get too nerdy,
but this is an example of like programmatic music.
Where they actually use the sound to evoke
what the actual image or the thing would look like.
So I think in this case...
The tremolo in the double bass is "doo-loo"...
Or whatever, timpani, I can't tell.
Is - That's like the wind.
- Yeah. - *Wind sound*
- Yeah. That's true. - You know, antarctic. *Wind sound*
It's like a massive iceberg or something.
Damn, I think we're getting colder.
Yeah, it's getting chillier.
If you haven't heard this,
you've probably been living under a rock, but...
I'm noticing...
How composers portray cold.
The texture and timbre is also something they use a lot.
So he has like the ponticello.
- Ah, yeah. - They're not playing it like...
Normal. They're actually playing close to...
Do you wanna show them?
Oh, yeah.
So when you play close to the bridge...
On the...
With the bow, it actually creates this ponticello,
so it's a bit more harsher.
I'll play normally first.
If I move closer.
- You hear this harsh, chilly feeling, you know. - Goosebumps.
So I think what Vivaldi is trying to portray is,
possibly is the...
Harshness of the cold winter.
Oh, it's gonna get epic.
Yeah.
The storm is coming.
- Yeah. Winter is coming! - Winter is coming!
Yeah.
I mean, you guys all know Winter, right?
It's cool to just like...
Hearing the different composers how they...
Portray different aspects.
I feel like here, he's...
Painting winter as this kind of very harsh season.
Which makes sense
because it's part of the four seasons.
- Yes. - Showing the contrast.
Spring is the one that's kind of like about growth.
Summer's really hot.
Whereas Debussy seems to be painting almost like a...
Watercolor image of what winter look like.
Contrast that to Vaughan Williams' like
a harsh Antartic.
Yeah, he was going for the intense side of things.
Yeah.
And the last chill piece for today is...
Ooo, yes.
It's about climbing mountains that are very snowy.
- The Alpine. - That camera is good.
That is a good camera.
Yeah.
- I'm noticing mutes as a cold thing. - Cold thing.
That is -
- Sibelius has mutes in the strings as well. - Yeah.
- Dude, look at how dirty this violin is. - I know, this guy needs to clean his violin.
- It's like - - The camera's too good.
The bow's bouncing!
Ohh!!!
Okay, this is out of context...
But man that's funny.
That's so funny.
The dude's really feeling the chills.
And his bow's bouncing.
Well, that guy needs a scarf and a beanie.
I love that, so epic.
Guys, when you listen to this, you know where
Lord of the Ring soundtracks come from.
You see the mountain and the ice and you're like...
Here we go.
Space Odyssey, Star Wars...
- This is where this music came from. - This is -
- O.G, guys. - Yeah.
This is the O.G, the whole world doesn't know.
Now you can spread the word.
Yeah.
Share this video.
Spread the word.
At some point, there is a freaking wind machine.
*Wind sound*
One of the percussion players...
- Plays a wind machine. - Going at it.
- It's a big workout. - So, we'll show you right here.
I get PTSD watching Strauss sometimes,
because Strauss has the hardest...
- Violin parts. - And you're like, oh my god, I can...
Visualize and imagine myself in that moment, just...
- Yeah. Yeah. - Going at the notes.
Or like audition excerpts as well.
- Oh, Strauss has the worst audition excerpts. - There's always Strauss.
Necessity, but painful.
There you go, guys. We hope you enjoyed the five...
Coolest and chillest music.
As recommended from yours truly.
