It's time for us, to face our biggest fears.
Our nightmares.
Worst nightmare of all!
Things that we cannot do, on the spot.
That is of course...
Do you guys remember your music uni...
...studies?
We had a class called improvisation and movement.
It's like, imagine you have to go on stage today,
and just make a speech, and wing it.
Wing your 5-minute speech!
We're classical musicians, we're used to like,
memorizing our script,
knowing exactly how each line should be delivered.
How we're phrasing the music...
It's different, because we're not improvising it
if we're composing under 1 minute!
(both) OHHHHHH!!!!!!
I N T E R E S T I N G !
- Alright, let's pick 4 notes. - So we...
- We have all 12 notes of the scale. - ...1 each.
Western tonal scale, 'cause there's other...
- Other scales out there, from like different cultures. - Quartal harmony...
Oh! A!
Oh, very nice.
That's a very safe note. *chuckles*
Good note on the violin.
No accidentals, please.
(both) E!
Oh!
Ohh!
- Perfect fifth! Nice! - Okay. C, C, C.
- And... *chuckles* - C, C, C...
C or G...
E for Eddy!
- Ooh!!! - D!
- This is very nice. - *chuckle*
- Come on! - All the strings, guys!
- Imagine if we got G. Oh, G! - G! Come on, get G! I'm gonna get G.
G! Come on, G!
- C. - C. Oh, it's alright, not bad.
Argh!
Oh, we gotta do this.
*sings C*
*sings D*
*sings A*
*sings E*
Oh wait.
*sings E out of tune*
You see, it would've been okay if we didn't get the D.
- Alright, now we compose for 1 minute. - So, we just—
- Oh, yeah that— - Telepathically, right?
Telepathic composition. Okay.
One minute, go!
Are we seriously doing this...? Yeah.
You know what, let's skip it.
*chuckles*
Alright, here we go.
You ready?
Oh, I had the same thought!
(Both) Ohhhh!!!
- Telepathic! - Telepathy!
Ohhh!!!
- The clash, right? *laughs* - Yeah...!
Maybe that's the most like, logical reason, you just...
Yeah...
Oh.
Where are we going... *chuckles*
That was pretty fun.
Oh.
That was, that was a...
...nice key.
There's a lot of notes we could put on this...
...chord.
And it'll still sound good.
Cool! Next one!
We'll do one more.
We're not putting the notes anymore?
- Oh, put it back. - Okay.
D!
For E-Ddy!
Come on, not a sharp.
G!
Oh!
For...
...GG!
A or E.
- B! - Oh, nice!
- Oh! *laughs* - G major!
- Okay, come on, come on, come on... - Oh...
Get something, like, nice.
*sigh* Just nothing...
Oh.
Crap...
S***.
C sharp.
- *groans* What... *laughs*
Oh my god. What is that?
That's a weird chord.
There's a sharp four.
There you go. Nice.
*laughs*
Mambo! Uh!
Wait, okay.
No, keep going at that.
*chuckles* Whoa.
It's alright.
Pause.
Let's figure out a chord progression.
- Uh...G... - We didn't do telepathy for this one, to be honest.
- Yeah, yeah... - That's why it's...it's a bit...
I think it was pretty good up to that,
but I wanna try a chord progression.
Oh.
Why don't you just do 2 chords to keep it simple?
G and B minor.
Where does the C sharp come in?
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Maybe occasionally...
...B minor.
My turn.
Oh.
Wrong chord!
There you go.
There were...moments of beauty.
That's what music is about.
It's moments, fleeting moments,
amongst all the uh...deliberate atonal...
- It's all deliberate. - contemporary...
*chuckles*
All deliberate notes!
If you guys don't like our sciences,
it's because you don't understand our progressive,
- revolutionary...compositional techniques! - Yeah, yeah!
- A lack of. *chuckles* - Yeah.
Traditional tonality aesthetics is overrated!
Well, actually, like...
In music unis, it's like any composition,
as long as you have a clever-sounding enough rationale,
- behind your composition, - Yeah, as long as the sounds make sense, right?
I don't know if it's true, but apparently,
someone composed a piece of music using Excel.
Well, it's a reflection of the modern office... *chuckles*
- ...lifestyle aesthetics of Excel spreadsheet. - Wow.
- Well, there you go, guys. - There you go.
Sum...total.
Whoa!
Hope you guys enjoyed it,
had a lot of fun doing this one.
By the way, thank you to our very kind sponsors,
Ling Ling Insurance, for sponsoring this video,
because basically, no one else wants to sponsor us.
- Yes, thank you. Thank you. - *chuckles*
