Hello everyone!
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Now, you might be wondering,
"Where are they?"
- Hmmm! - It's not a white wall anymore!
We've finally upgraded!
- Eight years! - Level up!
- I can't believe it took us eight years. - Yeah.
I imagine most like, other content creators,
- they just do it in like, the first year. - Yeah.
But you know, everyone...
...goes on their journey at their own pace.
- Yes. - But anyway, we're very excited.
We're back from our little week break, and...
As you can see, we've got a new studio setup, filming setup,
and we wanted to just show you guys it today.
So...
- Over here, you can see... - Ooh.
...the Ling Ling clock.
Why is it the Ling Ling clock? 'Cause...
...there's 40 hours in the day.
Look at that!
- You know what I just realized? - What?
It probably should be 20, and it goes twice.
Oh yeah.
But hey! It's a one-way clock, it's different.
To make it less complicated for everyone to understand...
...the theories of Ling Ling.
- That's why it's a one-way clock. - Yeah.
With this clock, you can practice 40 hours a day.
Or maybe 80 hours,
- if you're really that prodigy. - Yes.
For those of you that have been
to our virtual tour, you'll know...
...the significance of this clock.
It's also a time-traveling machine.
- Mm-hmm. - But, um... Yeah, anyway.
Here we have... a plant,
- for aesthetics. - Brett: To... aesthetics.
Provide some oxygen, even though it's fake.
It feels like there's more oxygen.
Keep us going for the videos.
We have a metronome.
It's one of those old school ones, you know?
Yeah!
- You wind this one. - You wind it up.
Like here. Oh, it's already wound.
- It's tight. - All right.
You pick your tempo.
And you let it run.
So that's the metronome.
And I like the old school ones, actually.
- Brett: Used to practice with those. - Eddy: Yeah!
Above the metronome is a...
We won't say too much,
but it's for a project coming soon.
I think it's nice to have the leaf there,
- blocking it. Yeah. - Classified information.
So we're gonna keep it like that.
Eddy: When will it come out?
Like, in a month's time,
- from this video. - Yeah...!
- Maybe. I don't know, don't know. - Maybe, maybe not.
- I don't know! - Dunno!
We have a... time. Clock.
So the story behind this alarm clock is, um...
I struggle, traditionally, waking up.
I'm the type that I will like...
My phone will go off, and I will just, in my sleep...
Get out of bed, walk over, press snooze.
- Or I turn it off, and go back to sleep. - And then he won't remember it.
So, I bought this clock,
thinking that I could put it, like...
...outside, in the living room.
And it'll wake me up.
But no, 'cause I'll just turn it off and fall back asleep.
- Now it's just a decorative prop. - You can literally put the clock like,
down the road, Eddy will still walk down the road
and come back and go to sleep.
- Eddy: Probably. - Brett: Yeah.
Brett: And of course we have the book,
The Study of Orchestration.
- Eddy: Mm-hmm. - Brett: Very important.
Jordon recommended it.
- It's a really good book. - Yes.
'Cause as you know, Jordon's...
...a very good composer.
- This is not... - Oh, I forgot to turn it on!
...TikTok.
This is a quaver.
It's like the sharp sign.
- It's not a hashtag, it's a sharp sign. - Yeah. It's not a hashtag, it's a sharp sign.
Freaking young people.
All right, coming up next we have
the Otamatone, and a bubble tea plushie.
Brett: Mm-hmm!
(both) Boba-chan.
Always drink bubble tea in moderation.
Now we have here...
Eddy: Rengoku.
Rengoku, one of my favorite characters
in the anime Demon Slayer,
- just 'cause he's such a mad guy. - Mmm.
(both) He's awesome.
"Umai!"
So yeah, that's why he's here, just giving us support.
This...
How would you explain this?
Uh, for those that went to our virtual tour,
you'll know this red button,
- along with the bubble tea... - Mm-hmm.
...is what activates the time-traveling 40 hour clock.
So really, you think you spent 5 minutes
watching this video already,
but you've already spent...
- 20 hours. - Yeah, exactly.
Time distortion!
Brett: Moving on.
40! Very obvious.
- Mm-hmm. - For those of you that don't know...
Get with it.
Next one is...
It's what I got for Brett, for Christmas.
Eddy: It's uh, the Spotify plaque of his Lo-fi, which is...
- You can actually scan it, it'll start playing his Lo-fi. - You can scan it, it'll play it.
- Brett: We'll give you a closeup to scan it later. - Eddy: Yeah...!
And of course, we have the bell.
It's the bell you don't wanna hear when you're in the audition.
*singing melody*
*bell rings*
"Thank you, that is enough."
- "We will contact you." - "Thank you..."
Last but not least, we must have beautiful music scores.
- Eddy: Haydn's hiding in the corner. - Brett: Yeah, Haydn's in the corner.
Brett: So we have a lot of great scores here.
Eddy: The thing that's really special about these scores...
They're not just normal scores,
these are actually really expensive.
So they're Henle, and they're urtext.
Now, urtext means they've gone out of their way
to research to get as close to the original,
as the composers' markings, because...
As music goes down, you know,
a lot of performers or editors
add their own little things to, you know,
- make playing the music "easier," like... - I've got it!
I've got an example.
They make it easier, they give fingering suggestions,
they give bowing suggestions,
dynamic and expression markings.
But, throughout that, you get further and further away
from what the composer initially wanted.
And so, the real pro musicians,
they go back to the urtext.
- And they interpret from the source. - Yes. Ooh!
Actually, I noticed Henle, they sometimes
give you two samples.
For the Bach, they have two.
- One with the fingerings and bowings in it. - Yeah.
So like the Mendelssohn they have a little bit,
it says who's it by.
- Fingering and bowing by this guy here. - Eddy: Yeah.
And then... There's also, this is just another edition.
You can see...
Eddy: That's like, the edition we play as kids, like...
- Eddy: The Asian edition. - Yeah. Asian edition.
- All the Asian kids are like, "Yeah!" - Yeah, "I know this one!"
And this is heavy...
- Yeah. - ...in bowings and fingerings and...
And then you'll notice a lot of things are different, you know?
So look at this.
They slur this in, right?
But here...
It's a different bowing.
- Oooh! - So there's just,
there's just two different interpretations.
Brett: I don't know if you guys can see the...
- Nah, it's too much. - Yeah, anyway.
This is a room tour, not a...
- Yeah, the music explanation. - A lecture in, uh...
- And it's just beautiful to have new scores. - ...urtext.
So, that's our room tour.
The mic's above here now.
It's not here,
- so... 'cause it was always a bit awkward, the stand. - In the way. Yeah.
- And the little light in the corner. - Oh yeah!
Bet you think you can't do this!
- Ohh! - Whoa!
This!
(both) Ohh!!
This!
Eddy: OHH!!
It didn't change.
Why is it not working?
Wait.
- Bro, we're like... - Whoa!
Wait, hold on, watch this.
Fade.
(both) WHOA!!
I didn't know it could do that!
- Nah, but we're gonna stick to... - Dude, that's insane!
Yeah.
We're gonna stick to this color.
Whoa, I'm like...
- Yeah, we didn't even realize! - I feel like I got hypnotized.
- Yeah. - I'm like, "Whoa."
I really like the, um... This color.
This color here. And then purple's also nice.
- Anyway. - Okay, anyway.
This was meant to be like, a two-minute video,
but it's gone on very long.
