Thank you for your beautiful playing. It feels so personal, like a long, deep conversation with a good friend. I've always thought this instrument was special, and capable of really unique things, so I'm excited to have found you!
Much as I love your work in a group context, I do feel really connected to your solo outings. This is a very helpful and well-made film, with lots of relevant detail (both hands, feet (or, if not feet, knees)) and an attentive if sparse audience. Lovely.
She's done some work with Mary Halvorson that is other worldly...stunningly incredible. I like this solo outing though (I hear what you are saying Felix Jay) ...like looking at a piece of abstract art, but from a musical point of view.
That's too bad, but it's not for everyone. For me, her journey is one of really deep listening, rich counterpoint, and experimentation. It's a lot, and like I said, maybe not for everyone, but I find her playing extremely inspiring and important for the instrument as a whole.
Jay, I have a feeling that you only listened to the very beginning. There is dissonance, as there is in all music, but there are actual songs in the video. Maybe listen again all the way through.
@sus453 Greetings from Brazil, Susan. There are more of us that enjoy your "dissonance" than those dissers. We get you and got your back. They didn't get Mozart or Monk in their time either. We remember Mozart and Monk while they are altogether forgotten. These dissers will also be. So just keep going.
That's because She is a Michelin Star restaurant and you are used to eating Kraft singles on saltine crackers. In other words you have no pallet for it.
Incredible playing and intention.... I love the production of this video! I would love to see Gary Peters and Susan sit down together someday....
Absolutely beautiful!
the last song, though short, is sublime, and its intro heartfelt. Thankyou.
Genius !!!!!! ❤

Damn this shit crazy
This is wonderful! A bouquet of intentional intonation.
WOW. Such an emotional experience. I was amazed by the variety of colours and attitudes that could be expressed with this instrument
And all the while I was thinking "Just play the d--n thing!"
Amazing!
Your The Universal looks just like my old one but mine was red. Scotty gave it to me when my BMI broke down. More beautiful music.
The last two pieces (Messiaen and Casals) are truly devastating. Musical art of the highest order.
Muy muy hermoso Susan

As a pedal steel player myself, I'm sorry but I don't get the theme of her playing.

Just noise!
Not at all. And music is organised noise. She’s exploring new ways of using the instrument. Go to 25:30, beautiful!
You have thick ears buddy. This is incredible music, if you listen just a little deeper!
serious question: is this woman just playing totally random things? cause it sounds like absolute nonsense. i’m actually laughing.
It's serious music. Maybe just not for you, or above your heard.
This sucks. Disonant crap.

What the hell? Sounds like someone just learning how to play.
watch the video before spouting crap

You try it then.
