      “That’s why I love making music so much. You’re not limited by vocabulary and words. You will fall into patterns and trends but you can access whatever you want. You can’t do that with language. Yeah, you could look up some more words I suppose, but it’s infinite with art, with music. That’s the best part about it basically.” Richard D James [Aphex Twin], Crack Magazine (Nov 2018)

      ​@@NachozMan more like the whole theory is quite different. Japanese traditional music has more types of scales than western classical music. Also, the way they notate music is different too. They also use our western notation these days, but they have their own too. For koto especially, the traditional sheet music looks completely unintelligible to us. And even for voice, while the general idea is the same, and you could follow the gist of it, the execution is different. All the embellishments are written directly into the music, including the lyrics. If you google 民謡楽譜 you'll see what I mean.

    in case anyone is wondering, the first tuning she plays in is known as the "Japanese scale" in west. the formula for building it is R b2 4 5 b6 so it's a pentatonic scale. for example in C it would be: C Db F G Ab. it has a really mysterious and ethereal vibe to it so if you're interested in exotic sounds it's a great scale for you.

      Billy Bob lol just play the scale on any instrument and you’ll see that mine sounds exactly like the koto and you just spelled a minor7 arpeggio, assuming that by 7 you mean b7 cause if you didn’t that would mean you don’t know the first thing about music because a “b8” is the same thing as the 7th. Unless you have a completely different understanding of what the twelve notes are and how the major scale is built which is quite unlikely seeing that you have an American/English name.

      It’s the original language of the right hemisphere, language is an abstraction and representation of the world that enables the grasping and manipulation of the external and conceptual world.
      Music is the older brother of language, and its purpose is create and directly communicate experience as opposed to abstractions of experience.
      Before we were the speaking ape, we were the singing ape.
      Connecting to music and each other is a lost art that bemuses and challenges many who are often stuck in a world of abstracted words and systems. Bemuses the left hemisphere, but it’s completely natural to those who are more right hemisphere inclined.

    1:50 The koto player said 「それに近い音階を選びます」= I'm choosing a scale close to that (to the sound she heard). The translator may not have been a musician herself and didn't translate the word ONKAI 音階(which means Scale in English, such as Major, minor, pentatonic, phrygian etc) properly. She just referred it as a "tuning". The translator did a great job for the rest though. Me, as a Japanese-English bilingual musician, I just wanted to add what I've noticed.

    That second piece is an Irish traditional tune accompanied by a poem, The Last Rose of Summer by Thomas Moore published in 1813. Written in a period in Irish History where our culture was being marginalized and erased by England during the penal law era, not much of our music survived from these times as it was a punishable offence to be caught playing our traditional styles. It's so wonderful to hear on a Japanese instrument some 200 years on. What a beautiful rendition.

    if anyone is looking for the irish folk song, the piece is dubbed "the last rose of summer". 19th century violinist Ernst (widely considered Paganini's "successor") did a set of variations of it for the violin. While it's not standard repertoire like Mendelssohn, or Tchaikovsky, it's considered one of the hardest pieces ever conceived for violin, as it tests many important technical aspects of violin playing such as left hand pizz, complex chord progressions, and long strings of arpeggio's, not to mention the immense emotional challenge in the piece. If you have about 12 minutes, critically acclaimed violinist Midori has an amazing recording of this pieces

    okay but she literally retuned at 7:57 right in the middle of the song. That's impressive. And there is such a language barrier unfortunately but when they play together it's like they spoke to each other through music. Really beautiful and I'm grateful videos like this are made.

      Some music played by a koto instrument are played where you need to move all those white stands all together to make the right tune while playing😅

      I played upright bass in the orchestra in school and there were some songs that we had to drop the tuning of one of our strings in the middle of a song. Pretty uncommon, but not unheard of. (Just sharing a related story, not saying what she does isn't awesome. It totally is.)

      I think she sort of understands English. She just can't speak it. I worked with many people who could do that as well.
