Johnny Reinhard - Zelig Mood Ring

[xenotoxette]

Does anyone know exactly how one would notate microtones in traditional notation.

[RSwordIAAA]

to xenotoxette, you could write "+1/4" or " -1/4" above a pitch you want raised or lowered by a quarter tone, or whatever - 1/12 etc. That is a simple way. You can study hundreds of notation methods in traditional notation from past composers or make your own. adding or taking a dash away from sharps and altering the flat by filling it in or reversing it are other ways it has been used.

There is a old sort joke of quiz trivia: how many positions does a trombone have. answer: an infinite number-- not merely seven. He could have made art work to go along. this already seems to combine peotic or rage literary, with slight dance, with of course music.

Fantastic performance!

This man is a great artist

[tubafatness]

I second these sentiments!

[hallum11]

that was very strange

[eldcampo]

Have some respect for a great artist

[shoegazer666]

some avant garde stuff there

[SuperJox]

It's sad how you guys try to find the negatives in people. This is THE Dave Taylor. You guys should research him. He is one of the world's top bass trombonists out there.

[MattDenney]

EXACTLY! THE Dave Taylor, I have such an immense amount of respect for this man, and I have never met him however.. It'd be unreal to actually meet the man. What a fantastic musician/bass trombonist/guy! Respect!

[logenisti]

I've had the pleasure of writing 3 pieces for him for which he premiered. He's a great musician and a great guy in general.

[cstrange12]

David Taylor is the man, there is nothing else to say

[cjnort3]

Damn right. . .

he is from the fourth ring of saturn, I mean honestly, a guy that has a B.S. and a M.S. from Julliard. . .hmmm what else do you expect

[irishminority07]

i must admit...im not a big fan of atonal.

but bass bone rules

[julietrombone]

yeah man look at your posture...

[jaredsfa2004]

just a couple more comments...your tone is amazing...tuning as well, i love the dynamics...and i "think" i heard soem multiphonics, not sure...but yeah excellent...i was wondering about your posture though, is that expected of this piece...I'd like to know more information about it. This reminds me a lot of Berio...LOL

[cjnort3]

Dave's posture stems from the awkwardness that the trombone puts on the player. His posture is meant to counteract this awkwardness.

[jaredsfa2004]

I'm just curious....is this where the trombone world is going? because it's getting kinda weird...

[mechbone]

I think it had more to do with this specific sector of the music world, rather than trombones in particular. notice it's from the American Festival of Microtonal Music. Not sure exactly what that means, but with a name like that it's bound to be wierd.

[tarhun]

"Microtonal music is music using microtones — intervals of less than an equally spaced semitone, or as Charles Ives put it, the "notes between the cracks" of the piano. "
