Tell me about your dreams.
I think, Edwina, you're my dream.
Oh!
Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
We have a new guest here called…
Edwina.
Hello!
I'm very honoured to be on this channel today.
Last time we had a video where we were blind dating musicians.
And we had a group of female musicians on the other side
where I had to pick my favourite ones based off their music,
and maybe a bit of personality.
- So now we've flipped the roles- - I don’t care about personality.
You better play in tune.
Yeah.
So Edwina's on the other side.
Edwina's gonna listen to…
6?
- 6. - …6 people.
Beautiful men.
Yes.
Can't wait.
Same thing. First round is music.
Second round is going to be music again.
Edwina is gonna ask some questions.
And third round is when-
And the third round is when they're going to get intimate,
and Edwina will get very close.
Bruh,
can I swipe left to your introduction?
- That was so bad! - Okay.
- First round, they play music. - First round-
Yeah.
Second round, I get to ask them to play a piece.
And third round, we have a conversation.
- Oh yeah, that's right. - Yes.
- All right. - I guess we could go intimate as well.
My voice is cracking!
All right, let's just get started!
Brett: Nice.
Is this a competition?
Zach: Good job.
Thanks!
Oh, can I do it again?
*laugh*
Number 1, first guy.
I liked the double stops.
Mostly very in tune, very nice tone.
It's like a couple.
I can see these double stops, like a relationship.
Very stable, very nice.
Edwina: Second guy…
Edwina: Very loud and resonant!
Edwina: Hmm…
Very nice!
I liked that! Very sexy!
Edwina: Number 3… Who was number 3 again?
Edwina: Oh, yes!
Cannot understand what he was singing to me, but…
What language was that?
German.
Edwina: Oh, German.
Guten… Guten Tag.
Very very beautiful phrasing and character.
I liked it a lot.
Edwina: The next one was the trumpet, right?
- Brett: Yep. - Edwina: Yeah.
Edwina: Not sure about the split in the beginning,
but other than that, very good.
Number 5!
Oh! The violin!
Edwina: You know, that's actually
one of my favourite movements
of all violin concerto repertoire.
That first movement.
Very good choice playing that piece.
Somehow you knew the piece to get me.
Edwina: And then lastly, the…
Was it a trombone?
- Brett: Trombone. - Edwina: Yeah, trombone.
Edwina: Beautiful. That was very good.
I don't know much about brass though,
but I thought it was good.
Brett: All right, time to eliminate. You gotta pick two.
Ugh! It's so hard!
This is just based on random bias.
Don't take this personally but…
Edwina: I think number 4 ‘cause his tritone split.
He played a tritone, that's the devil's interval.
Can't have that.
Edwina: And…
maybe eliminate…
Edwina: I think number 1.
The cellist.
It was very good, but I…
I feel like I wouldn't mind a bit more intensity.
You know what I mean?
Brett: You lock it in?
Edwina: Yeah, I lock it in.
Brett: Oh… okay.
Sorry guys! But...
Can always call me later, you know?
You feel me?
Ha ha ha ha!
I have a very specific piece request.
Um…
Can you play The Rite of Spring solo?
Fine.
If the two of us was in the…
the um…
you know like, Aladdin?
Edwina: Like the deserts, and like the Morocco…sands…
I don't know where they're from, like…
…like Scheherazade feeling, you know?
Like a romantic One Thousand and One Nights.
Noice!
Noice one.
It's our first anniversary…
Oh…!
We're having bubble tea together...
when…
Edwina: I was suddenly alerted with a tragic news
Edwina: that something really really bad happened.
What would you sing to me...
to console my heart?
Nice.
All right.
Hi.
Hi?
Could you please play me Paganiniana?
*Laugh*
I want you to play me something flashy,
something that will blow my mind away.
You know what I mean?
Wow.
Hmm…
Are you copying me?
I dare not.
Edwina: All right. Um…
Imagine your baby…
You're serenading your baby.
Something loving.
Brett: All right.
Brett: All right, make your pick.
Number 1, the bassoon.
Edwina: Dude, that bass F.
Edwina: Two-octave jump or whatever,
That was…
That was lit.
Edwina: For the singer…
Edwina: That was really good.
Edwina: I liked the character and the sound you're able to make.
My perfect pitch was a bit confused
as to what key you're singing in though.
But it was very good.
Brett: All right, violin was next.
Edwina: Violin- Oh my god!
That's a very...
ballsy choice.
I'm just trying to picture myself having to play
in front of camera and it's like-
Brett: Your voice…
- Brett: Yeah, yeah. It's pretty hard. - Edwina: And it’s traumati-
It’s very… very well done.
Edwina: Trombone…
I thought it would be hard for brass players
to sound fragile,
because they're all like…
...big sounding, right?
So I wanted to hear-
- Edwina: I wanted to hear the soft tender sound. - Brett: You wanted him to play pianissimo!
- You know what I mean, right? - Brett: Yeah.
- Like, they always play like Star Wars and stuff, like… - Brett: Star Wars...
Brett: All right, now you gotta pick two. Eliminate two.
I'm gonna have to eliminate the bassoon
only because bassoon is not my instrument.
Edwina: I’m sorry! Ha ha ha!
Edwina: Just purely based on that!
Brett: Okay.
Edwina: I'm gonna eliminate…
Number 3, the violinist.
Only because...
I'm loyal to Brett's Ysaÿe. Ooh…!
- Edwina: That was a really bad joke. - Brett: That's so lame!
Brett: All right!
Who am I talking to?
Oh, the singer.
Hi, what's your name?
Zach.
Edwina: Zach. I like that name.
Tell me about your dreams.
I think, Edwina, you're my dream.
Oh!!
If we're talking seriously,
well, I would really like to…
...pursue voice full time.
Can you tell me about the moment you knew
you wanted to pursue voice as a dream?
I think it was when I was crawling through the mud in the army
that I realised I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
What about crawling in the mud
made you realise you wanted to do voice?
Maybe because I don't wanna crawl in the mud forever.
Edwina: Damn, that makes sense.
Maybe I need to crawl in the mud more
to find out what my dreams are.
How about you?
What are your dreams?
Wouldn't mind dating a sexy musician...
if you know what I mean.
Ye…
Start a family.
Aw, that's nice! Yeah!
How many kids do you want?
Two? Is that okay with you?
I guess I could handle-
Hey.
Hello.
Ooh.
Ooh…
You’re copying me again!
What's your name?
I'm Hendrik.
Ooh! Like Jimi Hendrix?
Uh…
I wish I was that cool though.
I think your playing was pretty cool.
Thank you!
I'd like to ask you the same question.
What's your dream and how did you find out about it?
My dream would be a performer/educator.
And regarding when...
mine is not as drastic as Zach, but...
mine is when I get my first chance
to play in an orchestra for the first time,
and I was really amazed by
the sounds being in the orchestra.
I think that really triggered me to want to do this full time
and really go for it.
I know what you mean.
It’s a different experience.
To experience being in an orchestra
and being part of that sound....
can be very life changing.
Edwina: And last question from me.
If you had to choose between bubble tea or coffee,
which one would it be and why?
Why you gotta put me on the spot?
He he he he…
For me, it's coffee.
Because…
Uh…
I mean it’s…
It's caffeine, you know?
And it's more caffeine.
It's just nice to have a nice cup of coffee in the morning.
I mean, you wouldn't want a cup of bubble-
I mean I don't know!
Choose your words carefully!
I'm treading on thin ice, but…
But for me, it's coffee.
Yeah.
Do you think you could become addicted to me
like you're addicted to coffee?
Maybe.
You know…
I would love to see you in person first.
Oh.
So you're saying that looks matter, huh?
Is that why you wanna see me in person?
I'm sure you're beautiful.
Brett: Zach or Hendrik?
Edwina: Oh…
I’m gonna have to go with Zach.
‘Cause I want my two kids.
HA HA HA HA HA!!
I'm sure Hendrik might be disappointed
when he sees my looks.
Edwina: So…
I think it'll be a win-win for both of us.
- You know? - Brett: Oh okay.
Brett: All right.
Brett: Well, Zach, you've been selected.
Slightly disappointed.
Was looking forward to a nice date.
But I already had the idea in mind, but…
I guess it's okay, you know.
*Gasps*
Wow!
Hello!
What a pleasure to meet you!
I love your hair.
- Thank you. - Who did it?
Zach: Natural? It’s natural, right?
Yeah, I was born with it.
- I put a lot of effort in today... - Ah, I can see.
...just to make sure I look good.
- Do you like it? - Yeah, you do! You do!
Thank you.
So where would you like to go?
I don't know.
Where’s somewhere good in Singapore
to go on a first date?
Picnic?
- PICNIC! - Yeah!
Can you pick a place to go picnic?
I know so many places to take you.
Oh wow!
Do you take every girl on those places?
Nah.
- Ooh… - I’m not a player, you know.
- Okay, okay. - I’m very faithful.
I'm a very faithful person.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
What happens now?
All right, guys!
Thank you so much for watching!
