Who's first?
We should do the intro first.
Yeah, we should do the intro first.
Hey, welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Today, we have a very special episode,
where we have some special guests.
- They'll be joining us. - Mhmm.
And we don't know which one of these guests
are musicians, and which ones are not.
The whole goal of this game is to see
if we can ask them questions.
We're not allowed to ask directly
if they play an instrument.
But we have to guess if they're the musician,
or the fake musician.
Yes.
So!
- Should we get our first guest up? - I think so.
- Who's gonna be first? - Who's first?
Hello!
(all) Hi.
- What's your name? - Nice to meet you.
I'm Eriko.
Eddy, Brett: Eriko.
Um...
What type of music do you usually listen to?
I don't really listen to many kinds of music.
Sometimes I listen to k-pop or j-pop, or classical music.
Was that a trick answer?
Eddy: Yeah!
Do you have a favorite composer?
Sarasate.
Okay.
Why is Sarasate your favorite composer?
Because I love Spain.
I love Spanish people, everything.
Oooh.
Okay. Um...
If you had to go to a place for holiday,
where would it be?
Turkey?
Didn't help at all.
Do you have a favorite key?
D major.
Is there a reason?
I don't know.
That's pretty sus, actually.
- Brett: It's pretty sus. - Eddy: That was very sus.
Hold on, no. Come on.
Like, think about it.
If you say Spain... Sarasate,
you don't think Spain.
- You think, "I love the virtuosity." - You think... Virtuosity of the music.
Yeah, actually, okay. Hmm.
- I'm getting very suspicious. - But maybe she said that just to be vague.
Maybe she does that to set us up.
I'm out of questions.
- Go with your intuition. - Okay, musician.
Alright, musician. Done.
Which side is musicians? This side or that side?
Oh, this side, this side.
- Offscreen: It doesn't matter. - Brett: Okay, it doesn't matter.
- Musicians on this side. - All right. Cool.

part about rhythm?
The pulse.
Wait, what's your favorite instrument again? I forgot.
- Piano. - Piano.

Bass.
I don't know. What do you reckon?
I think musician.
- Musician? - Yeah.
- All right, done. Musician. - My gut says musician.
- We'll go with your gut. - All right.
- Can we turn around? - Offscreen: You guys can turn around.
- Yeah! - That's right!
We redeemed ourselves from last time!
We failed last time completely,
guessing their instruments.
So, you're a musician!
- Yes. Trumpet. - What do you play?
"I like piano."
- This guy! - "I like piano."
- You play trumpet! - Yes.
Um, jazz, classical?
Both.
- Both. Are you studying? Are you professional? - Okay.
Uh, I'm studying.

- Cool! - What else do we ask?
- Or that's it? - That's it.
- Nice. - Okay, who's next?
Yeah, what instrument do you play?
Violin.

For some reason I thought he might be a pianist.
- Really? - Getting piano vibes. Yeah.
- Okay. - I don't know why.
- Awesome, thanks. - Awesome, thank you!
Next one.
Hi! Sarasate.
What do you play? Violin?
Yes.
- You do play violin. - She plays violin.
- Dude, who...? Actually, I'm not— - The Spain thing was just being vague, actually.
Okay, if you know Sarasate,
you know Sarasate's from Spain.
- Yeah. Yeah. - But that's more like a theoretical question, right?
And we study theory, you know, musicians can go,
"Where are they from? Oh, Spanish influence."
Eddy: Yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah no, Sarasate's pretty...
It was a big dead giveaway.
And how long have you been playing for?
Um, twenty years.
Oh, twenty years!
Eddy: Nice.
- Awesome. Thank you! Thank you. - Thank you.
- Should we go this way now? - Yeah, let's go this way now.
- All right! - Oh yes!
- So... - 4/3.
What went through your mind when you said 4/3?
I think a couple of days ago we were like,
talking about beats and the drumming, and I was like,
I actually, I kept thinking, 4/3, 4/3,
but it was like, 4 beats on the left,
and then 3 beats on the right.
- Oh, like... Yeah. - Ahh. Polyrhythm. - That's why I was like, 4/3.
- 3 against 4, yeah, 3 against 4, yeah. - Yep.
That's why.
4/3.
- Alright. - Thanks a lot. - Wayne: No problem.
Hello.

- What type of designer? - Um, like I'm studying in Goldsmiths in London,
so it's just the design course. Yeah.
So it covers everything.
- Oh, wow. Everything. - Yeah. - That's why, the aesthetics.
Brett: Yeah. Aesthetics are there, it's a designer.
What was it towards the end,
- that made us think you were... Yeah. - Um, it was the Howl's Moving Castle question.
- Ah! What did you like about Howl's Moving Castle. - Yeah. I was like, "Mmm, I know nothing about music."
- Yeah, that was like... - Yeah.
It was when you said something was just
nice to listen to, or something like that.
- Mars: Yeah, that's what I said. - Brett: Yeah.
- Cool. Thank you, thank you. - Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
