Hello everyone!
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
How have you guys been?
Are you guys all practicing?
It's been a while, so of course
the first thing we want to do is
Ling Ling 40 hours.
Yes!
The most talented subreddit on the internet.
Let's go.
Hahahahaha...
Wow you guys... Yeah okay.
Do you even...
Headel looks really impressed too.
Yeah I saw this.
- What is that? Cheese on broccoli? - Ew.
- That's a lot of cheese. So cheesy. - Ew!
My first note's so out of tune.
You're like...
You surprised yourself.
Oh that's really good. That's really funny.
I really wanted to laugh at that.
Oh man, that's crazy.
And it's also weird that of all the videos we posted,
- that is the one that shows up in PewDiePie's video. - I know!
It's like, "What?" All the videos...
What about epic like, musician Squid Game?
It has to be this one.
- That's how the internet works, right? - Yep.
I think that's incorrect, right?
Because... Wait, how does it work again?
There's actually like... some like, law of physics
about how octaves work.
Like one octave, right?
So A to A.
- And then A to the next A. - Oh! An eighth gets shorter.
- It should be exactly half. - Shorter.
I think...
Can you get your violin?
(Brett) Can we try?
I wanna check, yeah.
- Halfway mark here. - Yep.
And to the next A.
- Alright. That, right? - Yeah.
Is that half?
Yeah, exactly half.
Exactly half.
It's a logarithmic relationship, I remember.
Now here though. See, C to C.
(both) It's too close. It's like a third.
So it is not a scientifically accurate meme.
What?
I love how it just started playing.
Yeah, I was like "what..."
What the...
- Wait was it actually written for soldiers going to war? - Really?
As if you go to war playing that:
*Hums "Entry of the Gladiators" by Julius Fučik*
Yes.
It's the body movements.
The illusion of sound.
Yeah, it's crazy how pianists
can create the illusion of a crescendo.
Mm-hmm.
When the instrument's physically impossible.
Yep, top level pianists can do that, right?
(Eddy) Mm-hmm.
That's legit.
We have to be traveling at 80% the speed of light.
Okay, but see here's the interesting thing right?
Like what is the Earth and the Milky Way already traveling in?
That's true, it's relative.
The Milky Way travels at 600 kilometers per second.
Per second?!
600 kilometers per second, that's like...
Brisbane to Sydney
halfway in one second.
So in two seconds you'll be in Brisbane from Sydney.
Dude... Man...
That's insane.
- Oh dude, why is there all this maths today? - Why is...Yes!
When you leave talented people
for too long in a subreddit
they start doing their own thing.
They start like getting all deep into this...
- ...world. - The theorem of freaking practice.
Solve for Y
or take your instrument home and practice.
I just know there's some like,
kid there that actually solved it.
Like "I don't want to practice."
That is so awkward.
I don't know if it's true,
but I think Stravinsky was a bit of a scary dude to approach.
Apparently he would just roast other composers.
- So that makes the image even more like... - Yeah.
In the middle of the night though.
I was like, why is it starting on middle C?
And I was like, oh yeah that's right,
flutes can't go that low.
- Damn! - Nice!
It's not bad.
Oh, there's more!
Dude, I was already impressed by the opening.
- Can I say— - They gotta breathe?
Yeah yeah yeah, that's the marking...
At least it was a musical like...
It's interesting, I was gonna say
that's how wind players will think of the phrasing.
Yes.
Including breathing.
When string players are always told to breathe,
gotta imagine a wind player.
You have to breathe. Show the phrase, so yeah.
- Dude it's so like, graceful. - Graceful, yeah.
Because like, violin, right?
I mean, that's not even the proper bowing, like.
Can you do it?
No, I'm under pressure now.
- Okay. - Oh, yeah yeah.
Someone's getting a bit...
too talented here for this subreddit.
- My nails are too long. I need to cut them. - My nails are so long.
- Yeah, that's right. - That is correct.
It's true. It affects your playing.
Look at your face!
It's your face there.
Come on! I'm not that...
Dude, it's been at least...
three hours since I've named a pitch.
(Eddy) Alright?
(both) Oh, it's a keyboard so it's fine.
(both) I thought it was a piano.
I was just...
That's fine.
I don't know what you guys are complaining about.
He was like.
And then when I f*** up.
It's so bad, why? I'm not that mean.
Or am I?
It's really funny.
I guess that's why you guys
make really good accompanists.
Because chords are for accompanying the melody.
It's a symbiotic relationship.
Melodies need to be able to crescendo,
and accompanists need to be able to play chords.
Alright fine, I'm a little bit jealous.
It is pretty annoying.
I hate playing chords on the violin.
Dude, it's the worst.
What's with the giga-Chad?
Are you saying like,
you're such a Chad with classical music?
Alright.
- Wow this person's... got sass. - Going at it.
What?
Dude, what is that?
How do you even type that?
It's like, some alien like...
Oh, even got the recording.
- Very specific. - Lugansky.
Nice!
I could keep reading this list for hours, but...
- Keep— - Moving on.
- No way. - Wow.
You made a manga?
Dude, this is the start of the TwoSet anime.
Oh, there's nine pages!
The "heh!"
Nani?!
Why am I just not saying anything?
Dude, this is actually really good.
Nani?
I sound like a really bad dub.
Look at you defeated. Your glasses are like...
(Brett) I'm like, "Oh... help."
That's awesome!
Dude, that was so—
Who wrote that?
- Amazing. - You...
need to be on Shonen Jump.
Who said we would be your friend, huh?
- Huh?! - Yeah, that's right.
Imagine we're like the opposite.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
And the moment the camera's off we're like...
We're just like, punching things up.
Actually, I would be friends with you
because your username is "brownsugarlessice."
- I was just gonna say... - And that means...
- I was just gonna say: do you know what bubble tea I like? - We've got similar tastes.
- Yeah! - We've got similar tastes.
Let's go!
Let's get bubble tea!
Rachmaninoff: "Ha!"
Chopin's like "Haha!"
Actually, do people say classical music is slow?
(both) Studying music.
Actually that's what you hear these days.
"I love classical,
I get my like,
pregnant baby to listen to the Mozart playlist"
or whatever.
Alright, so for those that don't know,
we got an email a few weeks back
- from someone from the actual America's Got Talent. - Yeah.
They want us to basically send our audition tape in.
Oh no.
This is kind of like, our response.
Are they for real?
To do what? Strip?
Don't get me started as a judge.
Yeah, see I kind of want to like appear,
and just like, troll.
Like, play pure classical music without any gimmicks.
But then on the other hand
they probably wouldn't even let you do that.
Yeah.
- Alright guys, that's it for today. - Noice.
Remember to always practice,
and accent the like button,
legato the subscribe button.
And we shall see you talented people next time.
Bye bye.
