@plainobase Same here, amped instruments really do not fit well into the texture of the orchestra, and I felt like the first two solos were not horizontal enough; they didn't go anywhere.
@malikrox yeah, in the ytso the violin and guitar improv didnt fit with the orchestra like they thought that they could play whatever with no regard to whats going on around them
This piece... is truly magnificent. The emotion that I intake is full of not just the feel of abduction, or flying through space. The solos paints an image that shows the boasting of the aliens to the inferior. Then as we slow, we notice we are not just cruising through space, we are taking in breath taking views we may never see. We see our universe. But our journey is interrupted with our speedily return to earth where we are dropped off quickly. They speed away, like nothing ever happened.
@xSke7ch u r very right, it does feel off. especially when they show the conductor, in my head ill be counting beats then i see the conductor and it feels off.
@Hector95100 It's because the audio was recoded separately in a studio. But filming that is boring, so they filmed kind of an action-like scene in the auditorium, where they could make as many camera angles as they wanted, and could start over. So when they finished getting all the angles they wanted, 9 minutes worth to be precise, they compiled them, and replaced the audio with the stuff that was recorded in the studio. Voilla. But obviously whoever edited it did not care for A/V Sync.
@dsavix4 i listened to it. and hey it's cute & good. its likely more similar, most probably because they are having the same theme - "Spaceship" thing :D thanks for the info. God Bless You!
@Lucasacarone o nome é mothership - mason bates, (the name of the music is mothership by mason bates) i also recommend you to watch the YTSO version: /watch?v=PFh7LAFel4w
This sounds fantastic. Truly beautiful, elegant, and excellent. THIS is modern classical music. Good job to everyone who composed it and performed it!
@blasenbaer Some of Frank Zappa's orchestral works maybe (yellow shark for example), other than that some movie composers like Danny Elfman. Also the cooperation of the Royal Concertgebouw orchestra and Cocorosie gave some tracks that combined electronics with orchestral sound.
@musicissofly wow. at 7:59 , you can still clearly see he's wearing the jacket still. He must have taken it off in... well, 5-8 seconds... but during that time there wasnt a part that didnt need conducting! :O
must be cut! it must be!.
... and yes i watched the entire thing waiting for parts of him so i can check his clothing... :l
@mrs1man Also, at the end he is wearing his jacket again! Why take it off and put on in less than 30 seconds, whilst conducting.... Definitely cut and compiled... Still amazing though. Shame it wasn't filmed properly.
I'm not as concerned about others about whether the music is "cutting edge" or whatever (was Brahms cutting edge?), but this just isn't overly compelling. There is a lot of thinness to the sound and there isn't much going on. (I find the tapping beat to be aggravating, but that's a personal preference.) Background music for TV programs and movies.
@pterodacthylus1 Go back to your metallica. We don't need your kind of comments here. This song represents the very rare creativity of human beings. Enjoy it or leave it.
@deadcoww Creativity? where? Be sure I'll leave it... but I reserve the right to make the comments I want. By the way, I don't like Metallica, I prefer Mahler, that's creativity!!!
Everyone on both sides of the fence, please LIGHTEN up. Yes, it is:
good movie music / very trad / old fashioned / severely Lite / not profoundly deep or shallow. Yes,electronics can be soooo much more integrally part of the music and that much more interesting, but...... it is very well done and orchestrated Dance Music.
Wow, this is amazing! When I watched this video a couple months earlier I didn't think much of it. Now that I've picked up a new instrument (the viola), I can respect it more. You just need to have an ear for this stuff. Amazing performance!!!
This is a very nice piece and provides space (and apparently inspiration) for so many beautiful improvisations. I've been looking at all the entries and some of them are just gorgeous!
My fav is the pianist from argentina. That one is so good its funny.
it sound to me a kind of stars wars by the boston symph. orch. I can even see the Orkos chasing me around :P Im sure Chewbacca would like tha jazzy part with the clarinet kind of ... kind of ... Elgar, NO, waitaminute, it was not Elgar :P but Gershwin ... but where is the Dark Side here ? :P
@macaroniman2000 Wow, you sent me a personal message, i'm honoured! You are entitled to like this piece of trash, the same as the other 689 small minded people...Have fun ; ) x
@MegaDonkeyBalls let me ask you this, would you be able to come up with something better?
I bet not, no one can write music that fast, it takes time and your saying you could do it at freakin' warp 9. you are a waste of my time I shall discontinue efforts trying to persuade you on what is and isn't good music, everyone is different.
Its like a soundtrack from a SciFi movie... While I was listening to this beautiful music I could imagine a real mothership, traveling through space.. A truly amazing feeling
god, sometimes i think that this initiative is kind of wasted on the classical community. i mean, you'd have to search far to find a more close minded group of elitists. :/
Another typical rubbish Minimalist American composer, surely Glass is enough to commit suicide! And they call this guy an innovative orchestral writer? Harmonically? Nope! Rhythmically? Nope! Structure? Nope! Oh how cute a Laptop with some electronic sounds...what a HUGE waste, you have the LSO and a famous conductor and he composes this trollop! The Yanks haven't a clue, no culture, no history, no folk music..completely shows here ...sorry to all those Americans that aren't simple minded!
@Juliusthebastard I'll take that as a compliment. Unless you think this is a good piece? Where's your composition degree? I earn't mine at Royal Academy of Music.
@MegaDonkeyBalls Look mate, you don't need to be good at anything to get a degree in it; money can buy anything now, including degrees, even people who can't spell words like "earned" right.
Now, I'd say you didn't like that, being insulted on YouTube. So, don't do it to other please, not at least until -you- write a piece that is selected for playing by the YSO and is played by the LSO.
@Juliusthebastard Wow, such a moron! Its always obvious when somebody is losing an arguement when they refer to anothers spelling. And i can assure you, money cannot buy you a place in the RAM! Try it if its soooo easy! Plus i'm entitled to my opinion and its not my fault that mine is worth more than yours! hahahaha
@MegaDonkeyBalls One, you are a dumbass. Two, Just because you think it is unoriginal doesn't mean that you can paint this nasty picture of a piece that I for one like. If you are a professional music critic, I might take your opinion more seriously. But, you are not. you are nothing more than a person with a degree (which doesn't mean much, everyone had a degree these days), who thinks you are better than everyone else.
@empyre3061 Its not the degree speaking, its the years of study! My opinion isn't absolute but its certainly worth more than yours. So....1. Stfu 2. Get a degree loser! hahahahahahahahahahaha
@Aaron128920 Channel name........?..... My work would contain a lot more harmony and better use of Orchestration for starters....and if you want to say its "ART" well a blank canvas to me is an up close star....doesn't have to have anything on it but it doesn't mean you have to like it. this piece is pretentious, boring and unoriginal! End of...Bored of this conversation now!
@MegaDonkeyBalls Man your such a waste if you really do hate this certain composer and piece then why watch it? This is an example of what a complete idiot your are......
@Aaron128920 Look.... this is going to be my last reply. I don't hate the composer/person. But the last time i went to the toilet was more productive than this piece, rhythmically and harmonically. End of!
@MegaDonkeyBalls Alright. I'm not defending this piece, and I'm not a huge fan of minimalism (though I do enjoy some of it) but I do take issue with you saying America has no culture. Ever heard of Charles Ives? Samuel Barber? Aaron Copland? Frank Zappa? George Gershwin? Scott Joplin? John Cage? Henry Cowell? America has a rich musical history just as all countries do, and thats just staying within "serious" music (though I resent that term).
@DarkZekeX So other than the disagreement of cultures, even though I do not remember saying America has no culture? We are both agreeing this piece is shite! Ives is ok, Barber was a one hit wonder, soon ruined by Trance music, Copland is ok, Gershwin is AMAZING! (more blues and jazz then classic music). I would hardly call it a rich history in music, I think the jazz, delta & urban blues truly defines American music. Plus, how can u compare any of these composers to European composers?
This is much better than the recording at the opera house.
The violinists' solo here is beautiful.

@MegaDonkeyBalls One, you are a dumbass. Two, Just because you think it is unoriginal doesn't mean that you can paint this nasty picture of a piece that I for one like. If you are a professional music critic, I might take your opinion more seriously. But, you are not. you are nothing more than a person with a degree (which doesn't mean much, everyone had a degree these days), who thinks you are better than everyone else.

@empyre3061 Its not the degree speaking, its the years of study! My opinion isn't absolute but its certainly worth more than yours. So....1. Stfu 2. Get a degree loser! hahahahahahahahahahaha

@MegaDonkeyBalls Fuck you is all I have to say. To me this is a work of art unlike your masterpiece channel name........

@Aaron128920 Channel name........?..... My work would contain a lot more harmony and better use of Orchestration for starters....and if you want to say its "ART" well a blank canvas to me is an up close star....doesn't have to have anything on it but it doesn't mean you have to like it. this piece is pretentious, boring and unoriginal! End of...Bored of this conversation now!

@Aaron128920 Look.... this is going to be my last reply. I don't hate the composer/person. But the last time i went to the toilet was more productive than this piece, rhythmically and harmonically. End of!

@MegaDonkeyBalls Alright. I'm not defending this piece, and I'm not a huge fan of minimalism (though I do enjoy some of it) but I do take issue with you saying America has no culture. Ever heard of Charles Ives? Samuel Barber? Aaron Copland? Frank Zappa? George Gershwin? Scott Joplin? John Cage? Henry Cowell? America has a rich musical history just as all countries do, and thats just staying within "serious" music (though I resent that term).

@DarkZekeX So other than the disagreement of cultures, even though I do not remember saying America has no culture? We are both agreeing this piece is shite! Ives is ok, Barber was a one hit wonder, soon ruined by Trance music, Copland is ok, Gershwin is AMAZING! (more blues and jazz then classic music). I would hardly call it a rich history in music, I think the jazz, delta & urban blues truly defines American music. Plus, how can u compare any of these composers to European composers?
