Exactly right, you really can't call this music, sure it's art, it's an expression of the .. noise they are making... but there is no defining composition, no chordal structure, no melodic value, at least for me it just sounds like noise.
@dlogic22 starting at 6:40 in particular, there's an obvious chord progression and motivic structure happening. you just can't hear it because, i don't know, maybe you don't really know anything about music? if it sounds like noise to you, great, but please realize that you are making yourself sound ignorant.
music is the organization of sound. it's music. they are playing together. sorry to break it to you. if you want to hear actual 'noise', go listen to an air conditioner. big difference.
if you seriously think this sounds anything like your air conditioner you've never heard shit, because there's tons of music waaaaay more extreme and dissonant and dense than this. you might just want to take your soft little ears home and call it a day. go listen to some major scales or something and wrap yourself in a blanket.
genius....that's what he is...no one else can beat him like this...see his fingers dancing, that's how we once danced together...on paper, on the floor and at the piano...
Wow, you must be a true master, do you have any clips? I'm sure these "beginners" would appreciate you showing them how it's supposed to be done. Why do guys like you feel the need to insult other musicians? You're just part of the vast Conspiracy of Mediocrity, that's all.
@Frisbieinstein you've "played a lot of free jazz" and you don't recognize veteran musicians like sabir mateen, joe mcphee, borah bergman and steve swell in this video? ha ha ha. man, you might not like this, but you come off looking like kind of a douche here. sorry to break it to you.
i'd love to hear your "free jazz". i'm sure it's really something else, frisbeinstein. you're probably a neglected legend.
The men you see playing in this video are the masters we will talk about years from now. The first pianist you see is Borah Bergman..the second is Matthew Shipp. Both still practice and play in the NYC area.
I enjoyed both these pianists and many of the musicians featured in your video from their many performances in Western Mass. I still remember discussing Borah's technique with him, in which I noticed how supple his hands worked their way up and down (and I should say, in and out), and how it was so different from say, Cecil Taylor's muscular playing. He told me that his aim was to articulate every note independently. Thanks for this video.
AMAZING! Thank you for posting.

I can tell everyone here has talent, there is no doubt about that.
I personally thought everything seemed to fast. It seemed to more like noise than music.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not knocking anyone's skill. I just personally did not like the song.

you rock for an excellent comment. musicians shouldn't insult other musicians, we have critics to do that for us.

You got to be kidding with this, commercial it's not.
Put your talent and recording budget to better use.
Sorry but I did not like it. Just one man's opinion.
You asked for comments and you got it.
