Mmm!
My pearl...
The pearls are stuck.
They make the balls too big!
It doesn't fit through the straw, you know.
Hey, how's it going?
- Hi! - Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin!
Wooooooo!
You already know what it is.
I've got the heater on my hands, it's so comfortable.
- (Eddy) Oh, it's so good. - (Brett) Ohh.
You know what else is in our hands?
(Brett) Oh yeah, guys, look! Mmm!
I mean, no product placement,
- unless you guys want to sponsor us. - Not a promo.
- Not a promo. I mean, this is a promo. - But uh...
Yeah, sponsored by TwoSet Apparel,
and our new amazing retro style T-shirt,
"Give it a rest", check it out.
Oh yeah, we decided to have a bit of bubble tea
with this episode.
Sure, if they want to sponsor us, hit us up.
- We're down. - Mm-mm-mmm!
Alright.
- How much is it? - For sale, $300,000.
Okay.
Reeds.
- Reeds are expensive, right? - Are they?
You guys always make your own.
- Some do, some don't... - Some do, right?
I think oboists...
...make their own.
- Yeah. - I feel like clarinetists...buy.
Ohh, oh, that sucks.
I think bassoonists make, 'cause I think it's...
- Double reeds...ah, single reeds. - ...double reed versus single reed, yeah.
I don't...don't quote me on it.
- I think bassoonists make their own, - Um...yeah.
I remember bassoonists...
(Eddy) Mmm.
Doing their thing.
- Can you imagine string players doing their own rehair? - Like...
Oh my god, no way!
I can't even cut my own hair!
Dude, that was so hard to read!
"A flat minor major", what?
"Organ, horns and triangle"!
Can someone please write that?
Can someone please compose a prelude symphony sonata
overture suite minuet...
...that's like six pieces in one.
Number 420!
- Classical musicians, we're just...so intellectual, right? - Mm-hmm.
We can be like, you know,
Beethoven, opus 1, number 4.
No, f***, not opus 1...
- ...opus 18, not 1! - Yeah, I was like, "I knew you're gonna say that!"
But I was like, "Why is opus 1 number 4?"
- Opus 1 was his piano trio. - Yeah, okay.
- Yeah. - Opus 18 number 4.
Opus 18 number 4.
Mozart used—didn't use opus, he used K's.
- K33-something. - Oh, yeah.
And Haydn had just a lot of symphonies,
- Hobs. - Hob. XIV whatever.
Yeah, nah, to be honest, I...I can't remember
- any of the opus numbers, so... - No.
I just...I do remember like nicknames, right?
- Like Pathétique, Moonlight Sonata. - Yes, yes, yup.
If you ask me what opus and number I'm like,
"I don't know, C sharp minor."
Symphonies I know though.
- 'Cause usually they only have 9, and then they die. - Really?
- Ooh! Did that actually happen? - Whoa, really?
I don't know if it's true,
but I heard in the Olympics opening ceremony,
- Japan played game and anime music. - No way!
- They're playing like Kingdom Hearts... - No...no...!
That's what I heard,
- Shaun...Shaun told me about it. - Really?
- Dude, that's legit! - So good.
- Yeah, I mean... - Yeah, that's pretty sick, I mean,
I'm...I'm up with that, Tchaikovsky is pretty good.
- Tchaikovsky is a representation of [Russia]. - I'll be proud to be represented by Tchaikovsky
- if I was Russian. - Yeah, if I was Russian I'll be like,
- Yeah. - "Yeah, that's our music."
Oh, I don't like this.
Okay.
That's funny, 'cause that sounds like something I would say.
Is that G sharp?
B flat.
It's a B flat, man!
I don't have pitch.
Well not, not us three, clearly.
Yeah, you, plus us, not really the prodigy trilogy.
We're just the meme trilogy, guys.
I mean, Ling Ling should actually be all the instruments.
- Ling Ling's just being very humble right now, - Yeah.
you know what I'm saying?
- Ling Ling just wants to um, primarily main in the violin. - Yeah,
'cause Ling Ling knows what's the best instrument.
What?
- He definitely did not play it perfectly, but... - Yeah.
He did play it in 54.24 seconds, so...
I don't even know what an agenda is.
Don't know, old thing that's happened in the past?
It looks like a diary too, you know.
Maybe agenda used to mean like a notebook.
Oh, it's like a Death Note.
Whoa.
- Death by playing too fast. - Yeah.
Can you die from playing the violin?
You hurt your hand, and like,
your blood just stops flowing, and you lose blood,
I don't know.
And then you break a bone.
I can kind of imagine what type of anime
would come from Brett's mind.
The lofi accompaniment.
Ooh! [u/Pacotacoalldaylong],
we'll see you in one year.
- Oh, he already got 2 bows. - Dude, that's intense.
- You can dual wield. - Yeah...!
2 bows in one hand, double the sound.
No, don't try that.
I...I'd argue most musicians, even without perfect pitch,
- would be bothered by an out-of-tune piano. - Yeah.
- Yeah. - It's pretty annoying.
I've clarified this before but I'll clarify it again.
Hearing intonation is not the same as perfect pitch.
People without perfect pitch can still tell if
something's in tune or not,
maybe if they just play one note, it's fine,
but the moment they play several notes,
- it'll become very clear to most musicians. - Yes.
Not all, because I have met some musicians...
...that, have um...alright.
- That seemed very tolerant of questionable intonation. - Yes.
But for the most part.
Look, intonation plays such a big part.
Man, people these days just autotune, it's not fair.
- All the hard work, what is all this hard work for? - It's not fair. I know, right?
All those scales...
I mean, technically that's a trumpet.
You know, the joke is really funny,
because on one hand, there's clearly the pun about horns.
But there's actually a second level of humour,
because it is actually a very accurate depiction of
what brass players look like in real life.
Nah, I'm just kidding.
They do, they look kind of like...
Dude, that's... *censored*.
Don't put that in...!
- Yeah, it's so true! - It is! Like...
It's like this frown, like...
Menacing, angry brass players.
- Nah, most brass players are chill. - Yeah, no,
- we know pretty cool brass players. - They're chill, yeah.
Did you put your hand up?
Yeah, did you put your hand up?
- Caught in 4K! - Yeah, busted!
You're probably watching in your bed!
You still gotta put your hand up!
Dude, who doesn't want to practice every day, though?
- I love practicing. - Isn't practicing like,
- so enjoyable? - So enjoyable, yeah.
Actually, it's funny, it's like,
when you start, you know, as a kid you hate practicing, right?
But like, especially the older you get,
- practicing is like a luxury, man. - Oh yeah.
- Yeah. - Like adults, you got to do adult s***,
like f***ing doing your taxes, or whatever.
- Yeah, all that crap. - What adults are meant to do.
Practicing is a luxury, if you're young, you have time.
I mean, you probably won't get it,
but we're just going to tell you anyway,
'cause by the time you hit our age, you'll get older.
- You will want time to practice. - Mm-hmm.
Ohh!
Is this like how to tell, you know, like in a museum,
- if it's like the real OG Mona Lisa or a copy? - Yeah.
Ohh.
- InTeReStInG! - Oh, wow.
I love how it's like, we've paved the way for fake violin playing,
and now, we can also bust fake art!
- Ooh!!! - (Eddy) Wait, wait.
But I'm not...to be honest, I'm not an artist,
- Yeah, I don't know either. - so I don't...no, no, let's read this first.
Okay, yeah, you can see it.
Whoa...
Guys, I mean, definitely check out this post,
- it's very, very well like, written. - Yeah.
There's things like texture, level of detail, photoshop mistakes,
something about pixel perfect split backgrounds, artefacts,
but they also said "Please don't wildly accuse people of faking."
- That's fair, don't just go around and be like, - Mm-hmm.
- "That's fake, that's fake." - Mm-hmm.
I feel like there's definitely digital art, but I...
I get the point, like it's when they use digital art,
- but try to make it look as if they drew it. - Yeah, yeah, this is...
That's like, some autotune s***, dude.
- We're not about that, guys. - Yeah...
- Come on, guys. - That's cool.
- I did not know that was a thing. - Me neither, I think...just keep an eye out.
- Thank you, u/Kinkelin. - Thank you.
"So practice."
Did I say that?
There's no such thing as talent.
It doesn't exist.
- Do you remember me saying this? - I don't remember.
Ooh!!!
- That's true. - Boom! So true!
Look, if you can't hear your haters,
- there's no haters, right? - Dude, it won't affect you at all!
What's this?
Oh, that's so good!
- Wasn't everyone doing that in our livestream? - Yeah, everyone's like coughing,
- Cough cough, clap clap. - clapping, and then...clap, clap, clap, clap, cough cough, clap.
- Oh, that's funny, you guys... - That's such a great livestream.
You guys are savage.
- Mmm. - Dude, it's like Prince of Persia.
- That's so cool. - Imagine every time like,
the cello player plays it's like...
- And it's vibrating. - ...sand falls, like an earthquake.
Vibrations.
Yeah.
Alright guys, that's it for today!
Remember, keep up the practice.
We are going to practice, and harness our non-talent,
and work harder, so we can be better musicians.
See ya.
