Eu adoro absolutamente os seus vídeos. A sua interpretação das obras de Tanaka é divinal, técnica incrível e tocando de memória estas peças tão difíceis de decorar. Gosto também muito do trabalho do vídeo! Qual foi o microfone usado para a captação? Gracias!
Hola António. Muchas gracias por tus preciosas palabras. Se las traslado a mi técnico y editor de vídeo. Los micrófonos que usamos son una pareja de Rode K2. Seguimos en contacto. Un abrazo
Thank you! Great to hear these works. So interesting! This kind or rhythmic consistency is something the standard rep hasn’t taught me to this extreme extent. Do you recall how long you worked on learning this music? I enjoyed it, thanks again!
hi. It's difficult to remember. It was quite a long time ago. In fact, I think I worked on these pieces with my students before playing them myself. It was very a natural process. But I have to say that we drew several pages with numbers to be able to momorize all the patterns and variations. They are easy at first sight, but it becomes more difficult when you increase speed. And memorizing can be challenging in some parts...
Well, okay, technically impressive-but is there any kind of feeling being expressed here? (Other than the feeling of someone wanting to impress someone, I mean?)
There so many ways to feel and so many feelings involved while listening or playing music. If you don't feel anything it only means the music doesn't touch you. Not the same for me; and for so many people around that get exicted by it. I would even say that music doesn't need to make you feel anything. Music has value for itself (if you like the piece).
If you pay close attention to any piece of music, you'll notice there's no feeling. Thing is that people associate some harmonic progression, rhythms and styles to previously experienced emotional life episodes where something related has been played. For example... People are used to marry with POMP AND CIRCUNSTANCE, while in fact it is originally a MILITARY MARCH! Nothing related to wedding. But it evokes the wedding feeling just because it was played in these circunstances Listening to music as emoticon may be gratifying in the beginning but It's extremely limited. One day you notice you simply can't enjoy the majority of pieces because you can't match a feeling for them. Am I saying music is a superficial thing? Quite the contrary. Its abstract sound language can move our psychism and put us into not easily described psy states. It's abstract, deeply moving and more visceral than "emotions".
Incredible! Almost like Kapustin meets Toshi Ichiyanagi. Love these!
jaja...I like the mix...I used to play Ichiyanagi a lot in the past...

@@RicardoDescalzo Fixed it. Thanks for the heads-up!
Cool!! Super pieces superbly interpreted. Ideal for exploding the myth of elitism in contemporary music.
