This is so beautiful. Is this a live recording or a computer recording? I can't tell. Haha. Love it!

A masterpiece!!!!!

Such wonderful themes and ideas here. Can't wait to make my own bushwhacker. You have inspired me to finally research North & Central African folksong. I e had this idea over ten years but not seriously researched any sources.

🧠🔥❤ amazinnngggg

👏

An echo of early Berio

amazing wonderful thrilling.. thank you David Bruce.

It begins like Schnittke and ends like P.D.Q. Bach - it’s amazing!

I randomly stumbled upon this at 6 a.m. and can't stop listening to movement 2, and everything else, too! On paper, I would have been sceptical about the combination of instruments, too, but this turned out very good :)

I really like the opening to the fourth dance

13:18 Man... that modulation from A minor to Ab major is just gorgeous, definitely going to use it!

3:26 As an oboist I am shocked by that light fluttertonguing

Stunning!!!

This is beautiful

I love this! Will this be on spotify anytime soon?

00:00 | 1. Soul Shards 08:53 | 2. Earworms 15:23 | 3. Vaporwave Loops 23:25 | 4. The Cure for Melancholy

What a great piece! Congratulations David!

OMG! You can't believe how excited I am to find this on TH-cam. I just went to the German site and it was gone!!! I absolutely love this song. I wish it was on Spotify.

I really want to perform this, just to form a string orchestra and get Bruce’s permission

Well this is the coolest thing I’ve heard for strings since the second movement of Ravel’s quartet. Bravo! The opening ‘soul shards’ quote is just stunning.

This is amazing Strange audio at 25:34 though

Where did the other violin concerto go? I can't find it anywhere :(

That ENDING!

This is actually amazing! I love the idea of "classical vaporwave" where you slow down snippets of classical music EDIT: Also, do you know how to maybe fix the audio in some places? It seems to randomly stop at a few points in the video

This piece (especially the ferocity of the soloist) reminds me of something Tetzlaff once said: "The listener loses the ear for the most beautiful sounds if they've been used for arbitrary, non-important things." Thanks for reminding us about these beautiful sounds and giving us a new way to hear them!

Eno's Discreet Music + Vaporwave + Lully + Bruce = masterpiece!!!

266 to the end what a great way to end with all the chromaticism and big glissandi! Overall this piece is a compelling yet strange work that kept me interested throughout. Nice job David! Are you a Neo-Baroque composer, then?

This piece is marvel and a wonder- it has some of the best pacing I've ever heard, with not a single dead spot in sight! The performance is also wonderful- bringing out all of those wonderful intricacies of texture in the 3rd movement, and that amazingly playful subversion of the perfect cadence at the very end of the piece! Wonderful work from Daniel Hope and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, and a masterpiece from David!

this is sooooooooooo amazing! Thank you for sharing it with the score follow ❤ I used to play double bass and the peak moment of that phase of my life was getting the chance to be introduced to your music and play Steampunk.

what a romp!

A masterpiece! An oeuvre of great maturity in the writing and of the thematic clarity. Bravo Maestro! And my applause to the interprets that had to decipher this somewhat truly difficult score. Cheers!

I don't like throwing around this phrase because it starts becoming meaningless, but this piece is a triumph. It is halting and beautiful and presents a simple joy. Your soloist is fantastic. It can be easy for me to forget how powerful an immaculate solo performance that isn't written simply to impress is. Amid all the virtuostic pieces, the meticulous incomprehensible rhythms, and vibrant pallettes of electronic music, it is easy to overlook the seemingly simple (though I know this is anything but) and its ability to cut straight to the soul. Thank you.

Wonderful piece

Thank you for these score follows!

Stravinsky loves it!!!

The music is wonderful but hearing some of the singers' pronounciation weirds me out a bit - there is a visceral feeling of uncanniness at play sometimes. That being said there is nothing wrong with that and the pieces themselves are wobderful. Thank you!

Reminds me of the finale of John Adam’s Violin Concerto

Very cool. Yikes! And difficult to play? A keeper!

SICK 🔥

this is phenomenal. I've known about David bruce through the TH-cam channel for a long time, but have always been put off by this title, and haven't listened to to until now because of that. what a mistake, this is absolutely amazing :)

The first staves for Part 2 Dance have been my ringtone since 4 years ago!

This is a brilliant piece. Your music has inspired me to write a new composition. Thank you so much for sharing, David!

Beautiful!

I really like this piece. The cello writing is so well done and sounds great

I'm not a fan of the first movement. Too noisy

(...video al niente...)

I'm in a very emotional moment in my life right now, but even so, this brought me to tears twice. Incredible.

I like that it's so simple and few instruments but it's still got plenty of depth

Wow, so many images came to my mind. Its incredible.
