The “checks“ in the Nyango video were hilarious: “I can’t speak Japanese.“ “I used a translation app.“ “This may be meaningless.“ Fun stuff! Hello from Japan! 🎌⛩️🗾
The cheap, plastic recorders that we all played in grade school sound horrible, but a good quality wooden one can sound amazing. Also, yodeling is absolutely a skill that takes a lot practice to do well and there's a lot of traditional German and Swiss music that uses it really nicely.
water music is, as far as i remember, a traditional musical practice. i forgot from where but i mean it seems kind of obvious that someone would try. so it is not even that far off, i think.
The red star playing drums is Nyango Star, supposedly a cat-apple hybrid. The person behind the costume is a very good metal drummer. It would have been better if the name was Ringo (Japanese for apple) but that name is taken. :)
Ha, I went to Berklee 20+ years ago and had a few classes with Eric Andre. One time, he was five minutes late for harmony class, and the instructor shut the door as he arrived and said "I'm sorry, you're too late, we are starting." Eric stood outside the room with his face practically pressed against the glass window of the door. The teacher tried to start the lesson but all of us kept laughing and he kept glancing over at Eric until finally after a few minutes he just let him in.
To be frank, Eric André isn't wrong. While the 141 alums with combined 332 Grammy awards is a significant list and there's probably a ton of more... Wait, John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy and John Miyung of Dream Theater are Berklee alumnis? But all of them left Berklee after a year because scheduling practice times and all that didn't fit them. Seems like someone really should go through that list and figure out if there's more people who just turned on the door and never graduated, kind of odd to polish the badge with achievements of people who didn't see the school to graduation. Either way, what I was saying was that while there's a lot of successful and talented musicians who have graduated from Berklee, marketing the school as "rock star school" is probably false marketing because they have around 8,000 students in total, so around 1,000-2,000 students per year, and while hopefully all of them find a good and fulfilling career in music, I don't think even every year group gets 1 true "rock star".
Fun. I highly recommend Jazz Recorder Rag by Gunhild Carling (then search for her trombone, trumpet, bagpipes, piano, harp, tap dancing, etc videos) & for yodeling Don Walser was amazing.
I just wosh rhere was footage of the alleged prank Eric Andre pulled while at Berklee where there would be advertisements/rumors of secret shows in the cafeteria by popular bands and it was him, a few other bassists, and a french horn player (there may have been more, but I dint remember) and they didn't have anything prepared, so they woukd just make unglodly noises.
Loriot is unbelievably famous in Germany. He was revered and adored by Generation after Generation and managed to get mass following and cult status at the same time. His humor covers everything from delicate subtle satire to sarcasm and blunt linguistic slapstick. He was outrageously funny and the "Jodeldiplom" is one of his classics. As a lot of it's humor lies in the language itself i'd say it is impossible to translate. So you're gonna miss out on this one. And i pity you for it.
If you want one more example of "water music", search for Musica da Lagoa, by Hermeto Pascoal. Starts super weird, then gets much better than it has any right to.
Took one of those courses. "Music Production." Learned some helpful stuff about acoustics amd theory ... then came the keyboarding course. Knowing a little something about organ, I thought to myself, "Well, that's not what I signed up for, but it couldn't hurt." Wrong. These folks wanted me to test out with a full-blown recital of advanced, complex chords, both hands, up and down the scale. Having played guitar since age 10, I literally could not make the shapes without my hands cramping up. Decided it was some kind of upper crust dragnet, meant to lead me further into debt, with what I actually signed up for dangling just above my nose, with the next degree. Dropped before destroying my GPA. I literally refused to test. Careful for the college grift, folks. Be absolutely sure about what you're signing up for. ✌️
I'm not so sure Eric Andre is being critical of music degrees as much as he is Berklee. Not saying this is necessarily true, but I have heard elsewhere that Berklee does profit off of students who don't really deserve to be there but willing to pay the absurd tuition. And that those students don't have the same experience as the star pupils in terms of who they get to study with and what ensembles they get to participate in. That those students are used to subsidize the super talented musicians that Berklee produces.
A few years ago NHK did a special on Japanese Noise Music. Very Entertaining. Without the avant garde to give new ideas, popular music would not evolve (or devolve, depending on your outlook).
as the inventor of the law of music harmony (1995) i consider OBSOLETE AND HIGHLY ILLITERATED every music school, teacher and musician on the entire planet, but me.
Water Music is not a style or genre. It is the name of a very nice piece of music by G F Händel. I would have been very impressed if she had played that one, on real water. ✌✌
I don’t know if Nyango Star (the Japanese mascot drummer) has a music degree since their real identity is a mystery, but whoever they are is crazy talented and most likely has some kind of formal training. The clip here doesn’t show a fraction of what Nyango’s capable of, they have some pretty advanced chops.
Seeing this woman perform this at one of those little clubs in the "artsy" part of town to a room full of people snapping their fingers in approval would be double-plus awesome. Having this performance taken seriously and performed with an orchestra just illustrates the sad state of our universities.
“too”
You caught that two?
@ no, only once

"go to far"
Sammy definitely has a music degree and not an English degree 😄
When English skills don't go far enough (too not to)

At 8:30 to the end I thought I was having a stroke.
does time travel do that?
3hrs ago kinda sus
How is this even possible?
How?!?!?
5:03 your Lauren hill singer who was late was covering the full Lauren Hill experience

Just bought the Art of Soloing class. Thanks SG!

A large portion of horror movie scores use a form of water music.
*too
It should be "too far"

Where's far? I want to go to far!

Jodeldiplom sketch FTW!
Dude was the German Norm McDonald before there even was a Norm McDonald.
Go to where?
I mean, Frank Zappa was playing the bicycle...
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull was the only person who could make playing a Flute look Cool
There's this polish band Republika, and the leader of this group also shredded like mad
Dödel di yodel dumb. Jodeldiplom. Love it

Check out some japanese noise music. The drum guy seems to be working in that tradition. Hanatarash, Merzbow, Masonna and so on.

All together...
Huh?
As long as it produces sound I consider it music (except for noise). If not, it's art.

Dude: fix that “to” on the title card. Good video.

"i want to send my guitar signal trough the toilet"
I'm gonna give up the electric guitar and play water.
ELECTRIC water!
Do you need musical education to play music and compose your own music? Nope. Does it help? Not as much as it should.
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read honestly
Not as much for how much we all paid for those books 😂 I got more use from my real book than I ever did looking through tonal harmony
Where's far?
I think the water music is extremely silly
as the inventor of the law of music harmony (1995) i consider OBSOLETE AND HIGHLY ILLITERATED every music school, teacher and musician on the entire planet, but me.
Too
The doll is a joke li ma la ma.... 🎸
You mean I’m not supposed to play my Les Paul in the shower?
"Music by Shittyflute" 😂
BRO COMMENTED BEFORE THE VIDEO EVEN CAME OUT 😭🙏🏼 CANT EVEN SAY 'FIRST'
I am still waiting for the collection video
I do that in the bath
you wanna some professional recorder (as in concert halls)? see Lucie Horsch. That's like the best of the best of the best.
*too far
too
Yoko H2Ono
Water Music is not a style or genre.
It is the name of a very nice piece of music by G F Händel.
I would have been very impressed if she had played that one, on real water.
✌✌
You gonna refer her to that guy that wanted you to make a tone sound more wet? 😂 I vaguely remember you having a fiver'esque story about that?

5:32 wwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Also yes, Nyango Star is a portmanteau of “nyan” and “Ringo Starr.”
too* far
hi! check out Mark Applebaum!
2:17 ...Seriously? Rio-su-ke?
It's Ryosuke.
You're the Samurai guitarist man, do better. lmfao
Wanted to write something similar but knew someone would notice too. He really butchered the name lol
TOO far
Typical - Andre makes the wrong choice, but it's the schools fault, ugh....

Should be too far
