Why can't this play into my AirPods?
Why can't I add more bars?!
Ugh...
Think you just topped your lo-fi...
Hello guys,
welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin!
Today's episode, we're going to be
trying to recreate classical music,
but on an iPad.
That's right, we'll be using GarageBand.
We have 20 minutes.
The challenge is we're going to try and
recompose the famous Sabre Dance
from Aram Khachaturian
using only GarageBand and the software instruments.
We only get to listen to the piece once...
and then we can't listen again,
and we don't get to look at the music,
- and that's it. - Dude, no way!
Ultimate aural training skills.
Dude, my only advantage is...
I kinda played it once
- Aw, really? That's not fair! - 15 years ago on piano,
- I never played it. - but I can't remember...
Dude, I have bad memory.
I've got good pitch, but bad memory,
- so... - OK, here we go.
Alright, go!
Bro, I'm not going to get this!
- I...completely do not remember any of that. - I lost that from the...! Bro!
I lost it from the beginning!
Nah, I got it, it's fine.
I'm borrowing my mum's old iPad
'cause I don't have an iPad,
and it doesn't connect with earphones, so
Brett will be using earphones
but I'll just be playing mine out loud.
It's also in Chinese so I can't read half the things...
Alright, I've got AirPods in
'cause I need to focus.
- I don't even know how to use GarageBand. - Yeah.
- Here's a photo of Aram Khachaturian, - He's just...
- staring at us... - He's already judging,
he's like "Oh, this is gonna end up..."
*Humming Sabre Dance*
Alright, that's about it...
Wait... it's not in my headphones, hey?
No, I can hear it.
You said you're connected, you st—
You said you're connected...!!!
Dude, I wanna change instruments!
How do I freaking change...
Oh, here we go.
Yes, connect, nice.
Bro, where's the freaking timpani?
I can't even find the timpani, bro.
I need a timpani.
Can you tell me where the timpani is, bro?
I just want a timpani!
Whoa, what is this?!
*Funk loop plays*
That is not Sabre Dance!
- I want TIMPANI! - Why can't I get the percussion stuff?
Tell me when you find the timpani, hey?
Brett: I don't have a timpani.
You serious?
Brett: I have Chinese kit.
Dude, it's like the first instrument, the timpani...
I mean, do we have to download a kit?
Percussionist, drummer pack.
Does it have timpani?
No...
That's definitely not what I want.
Alright. Make do with what I have.
No!
I changed the tempo to 180, you...
I played a wrong note.
Why can't this play into my AirPods?
That's so annoying...
Wha—?!
Ah, it's a loop!
I'm so confused, how does this work?
Oh, right, I see...
*Humming and counting out Sabre Dance melody*
Alright, got it.
Oh, now it's connected!
I can start now.
*Humming*
No, it's so out of time!
Yeah, I guess.
Very out of time but I don't know how to fix it,
so, whatever...
Dude, I've forgotten everything!
What do I do?
Doesn't matter. Keep going.
It's so out of time!
Producer Shaun, I don't know how you do it, man...
I forgot if it's an... F or F sharp...
*hums* It's F sharp.
Aw, no! That's not long enough.
It sounds legit.
Yeeh.
Mine's not legit.
Oh, no.
I can't do this.
Why can't I record more than four bars?
I don't know, man.
Pop music things! They think everything
only lasts for four bars or eight bars.
I know, it's annoying!
- It's like... - It keeps stopping.
Dude, music can be more than eight-bar phrases.
AaUugH...
Alright, I'm just gonna timbre it up.
Add more instrumentation to this.
Hello~!
How are you, flautists?
Add you into the game.
Bro, we've got four minutes left...
Dude, I can't add more bars,
how do I add more bars...?
Brett: You gotta add the 'plus' thing on the side here.
Brett: Oh, you don't have one!
Where's my plus...?!
Click the '+' above. [Mandarin]
Where's my plus sign?!
Why can't I add more bars?!
I need trombones.
Oh, we're running out of time!
This is so bad...
You have no idea what's coming.
*Sigh*
Alright, what a masterpiece, guys.
*Timer goes off*
I guess that's it.
Nnnoooo...
Wait, let me just add my trombones in, one minute.
Alright, you ready?
My masterpiece.
So I couldn't find timpani,
so I had to use just...
like, double bass pizz.
And I couldn't find, um...
- the marimba, - Yeah.
so I'm just using flute.
I mean, there is a flute in it, but...
I just, I couldn't find the percussion pack.
Dude, you got the rhythm.
It's just a bit out of time.
Oh, let me turn the metronome off.
Awh!
Baaa-dah, baaa-dah!
The trombones I missed.
And I messed up, are you ready?
- That's all I got the time for. - Dude, that sounds legit!
Aw, thanks man.
Word of warning, guys, I've forgotten everything.
Oh, really?
It went all out of my brain.
I forgot what the rhythm was, too.
So I used, uh, drum kit,
- strings... sustained, - Drum kit?!
strings staccato, oboe, and flute.
Does drum kit have pitch?
No...
So I think I messed up.
Alright, let's see.
It was the AirPod lag...
Why did it all of a sudden stop playing?!
Wait, is there more?
There's more!
What? Why did you have to swipe the screen...?
It just kept going four bars, and it just wouldn't let me...
That's it.
That's all I got.
- Yes... - Bro...
- Fail. - I think you just topped your lo-fi.
Yeah.
Eddy: That's some nightmare s***.
Dududu dudu—
I even forgot the
- *sings timpani part* - Yeah. The bass.
You got the melody, it's just the rhythm was sus.
I couldn't do it.
Da-DUdudu-DUdududu-DUdu—
- Everything's so out of time... - It's so out of time!
But like it's almost like...
some genius, deliberate nightmarish way.
Yeah, yeah, I just suck at it.
Dude, I retained nothing from that playing.
- No, you got the melody right. - Yeah.
- Dududu dururu-dudu dururu-dudu... - But, you... I just think it's funny
that you chose a pitch-less drum.
- Eddy: 'Cause you think "drum," right? - Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah.
- Eddy: but you forget there's pitch. - I should've— there's pitch.
Well, there you have it.
Recreating Khachaturian Sabre Dance
in 20 minutes.
Let us know if you like this type of video.
- I'm down to do it again, I think it was fun! - Look at Khachaturian's face!
The only way for me to be able to write this
is if we keep repeating it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Mm-dah-dah, mm-dah,
OK, back again, back again,
then we get that bar.
- Yeah. - I suck at aural.
See you guys next time, accent the like button!
