Amazing Video of a Song Composed Entirely of 37 Cello Parts

[lvleandro483]

this is a good man.

[agamo111]

240p does not do the cello justice

[billysexton]

WOW, great composition, Great video!! Think I'm gonna wipe the dust off my Cello after seeing this !! Great job !!!

[dcrock116]

this sounds like the sims 3 theme a little bit

[cy750]

what a boss

[Lodovicoize]

this a very talented man!

[freedomduck9]

@winterwolf498 same although I'm still in the learning process, I cant wait to try some of this stuff.

[professorzerocool]

Loved the cat lol

[kioren77]

This sounds like a final fantasy song..

[Miukus1]

This is TALENT! I like so much!

[CoD6Cristi]

this is very beautiful videoclip and who made it was the best who play the violincello BEST VIDEO

[chipikao24]

Genious!

[robcat2075]

I enjoyed that very much.

[iliefdebananen]

i hate wen peolpe dislike its stupid they just do it for status

[webcamfan2569]

@iliefdebananen WRONG! WE ALL HAVE OUR LIKES AND DISLIKES!

[xVxcuatrosupremoxVx]

Forever alone Band



[IssieAndLife]

i like my cello, but he's good! if you play, you'll know how long it takes to get a perfect thing and to do it for this number of sections, WOW he's lucky ! 0.0

[WootCookies]

why do i feel like im watching tim and eric..

[KlousTheClown]

I have wanted a cello since I was

[csjasonau]

Wow these songs are probably going to be the music in The Sims 4 buying or building mode!!!!!!!!!!!

[JustinCase10261]

let see a rapper do this lol.  They're NOT musicians...poets to beats is all. THIS is music...this is talent. Rock and roll, R&B, jazz etc. THAT is music as well. rap is not played by musicians..its tracks of beats to lyrics..not quite qualified as music lol. just sayin! nice job btw.

[ChibDibs]

@JustinCase10261 Music is music. A vocal and / or instrumental interpretation of emotion. Music is being created in various parts of the world using various methods. On what grounds is your definition of "music" justifiable? The English definition is most certainly capable of identifying music. Although not to your liking music is still yet music nonetheless.

[ExsuflaTora]

even a dead cat is listening to him (2:00) so good is he.^^

[imagewestmedia]

Haha!! I love the 'holy cat' at 2:01. Wicked halo!

[jujuhaajujuand]

your cello playing rocks

your video effects suck!

:D

[QueenAwesomenes]

@SoccerKid696969 why would you want to stick with the synthesizer? The cello is one of the greatest instruments ever, and a synthesizer is barely one at all.

[SoccerKid696969]

ok gramps good work but lets stick with the synthesizer

[kence36]

how did he have so much time i hardly have time to use the crapper

[latinboy211]

This song gets me high

[jupitler]

The editing is very nice too!

[LBoeserZwilling]

amazing! amazing! amazing! my greatest respect for this project and for this man!

[tania38513]

Desocupado!!!!!..

pero le quedo bonita!!!!

[kimsanleanne]

I just love how he pokes fun at this. That cat with the halo just sleighs me. I love the piece, and I think he is amazing, I wish he would make more videos of this nature. I told my children I want to marry him, LOL.

[EthanWiner]

@kimsanleanne Thanks for the nice comments. There's a high-res version of this video on my own YouTube channel, and also a second music video called Tele-Vision.

[ElFrijoleroMang]

wow this is absolutely amazing! you wouldn't happen to have this written down in sheet music would you?

[EthanWiner]

@ElFrijoleroMang All of the music for this video is on my web site Ethan Winer dot com. It's the first link on my Ethan's Tunes page.

[mikeonex]

sounds just like the deep cover soundtrack

[ChrisTheRockGod]

i'd like to see it live....

[EthanWiner]

@ChrisTheRockGod My Cello Rondo will be performed live by a full string orchestra on July 30 at St. Luke's Lutheran Church, 109 Oak Avenue, Ithaca, NY.

[tytysmiff]

search "dj k-ro heigh ho" for that new age music

[musicANDfornication]

this guy is amazing...it just makes me love my cello even more

[adram3lech]

How many cellos does this awesome guy have?

[camouflauschig]

When I hear or see something beautiful, I start to cry ;__;' I hate it.

[gonerogue85]

i thik so cymbal smasher

[TheCymbalSmasher]

2:54-3:06, am I stoned???

[yetweng]

I'm a Filipino musician & I call you a "Henyo". I wanna buy your book when it's out. Time to hit zero again!

[reegan1040]

some of the parts are balanced to the right while the person playing that part is on the left it hurts my brain....

[EthanWiner]

@reegan1040 I don't think so! Where does it seem that way to you?

[InfectedxXxFlower]

shit gets trippy

[NotAnothrPuppet]

GEEZUS!

[VoyagesinMusic]

very clever!

[dannyboy54w]

At 3:46, middle guy comes in and grabs left guy's cello

[swimmeringer]

The video wasn't for me. But the song was perfect. The man-hours that must've gone into this...

[aaguimond]

The mostly percussion-less sections sound a lot like the chorus from Pretty Penny by STP

[richcan27893]

It's good to know there are elderly people who are also technology literate out there...

[EthanWiner]

@richcan27893 Thanks Rich. I'm 62, and more than literate with this stuff. In fact, I'm writing a book about advanced audio, video, and computer technology now for a major pyublisher.

[QueenAwesomenes]

i feel sorry for him having to put all this together!! did an amazing job, though!!

[zappynesser12]

this sounds like finding nemo

[samucellito]

It's good, very good music!

[Scampfarmer]

Some of the bass is Geddy Lee-ish.

[ironmaidenguitar]

0:26 to 0:39 the guy on the right is doing something.. not right

[222ronjon]

Dude, he has to get SO MUCH POONTANG

[firefly4772]

Oh my God...do you have any more videos of him? He is great!

[EthanWiner]

Thanks guys.

@firefly4772: Click my name to find your way to my YouTube channel, and you'll see my other productions. There's also a high-def version of this video there.

[2ANGELSXD]

this is why cello is the best instrument :P

[baconmanya]

Sounds like this guy makes the sims music LOL, That game would be better with him in it...

[SrtaCapitana]

GENIOOO :D

[IrishPotatoSack]

The hardest part was probably that he had to change his shirt so many times

[Vickywonka7]

@IrishPotatoSack jajajajajajajajajaja, más bien yo creo que la parte más dificil es ponerle una aureola a un gato! jaja........ que hombre tan talentoso!!! lo admiro.

[dmcdaniel2009]

MORE, we want MORE Ethan! 

[Cellokicksass]

@ 0:25 he makes this hilarious face

[LateNightPhilosopher]

this is truly incredible

[blueflowers98Jr]

169 stupid cello-haters just made my enemy list...

[blueflowers98Jr]

I love you.

[JokaCola]

Loving the WOW! graphic - goes with the phsycadelic backround and cat with halo...

[minx767]

It makes me insides feel happy. X3

[MrFantabulouslife]

haha lol this guy looks like a professional with his squareish glasses and grey hair. perfect. :D LOL

[MrFantabulouslife]

hey dude wow! i would even be happy if this dude wwas more famous than justinn bieber. its like even better than jb. oh wow!! jb just sings and half the time his voice just craks .... eeewww like a girl. anyone agree? EW

[Vermiguello]

could be better if you took it seriously

[shadowofmerlin]

This is by far the most brilliant thing I've ever heard and seen! Its impossible to be that good without selling your soul. Him and Jonny Greenwood obviously sold their souls to the devil.

[runtime40]

I just acquired a cello. Piano has been my forte for 40 years. I am totally impressed!!!! Thank you so MUCH for this video!

[WullopPornruangwong]

Great 'one man' orchestration. Your video inspires people around the world to learn, listen to music. Thanks!!!

[RandaDandaDoo]

I love this... but i just have to say that i swear i have heard this song on my sims game. ^_^ But I really really love it!!! U did amazing!! ^_^

[turtleface77]

Haha,love the song and the editing... especially the halo over the cat

[live4music12321]

amazing creativity. but the backgrounds and video editing make it hard for me to take him seriously. which is too bad because the song is really great.

[giannine18]

Insanely amazing!

[rlfmoba]

Would be great to have a score of!

[EthanWiner]

@rlfmoba The music for all the parts is on my web site. Click my name to find my site, then find your way to the Cello Rondo page.

[BozoMeFatty]

dude, RESPECT old dude <3

[bajubner]

I want to get together 37 cellists, and assign them each a part so this can be played live.

[EthanWiner]

@bajubner This was played live with a string orchestra a few years ago, using an arrangement a friend did. It will be played again this summer in Ithaca, NY on July 30. If it comes out well we'll post a clip here on YouTube.

[Alisongabrielle]

@bajubner I'm one!

[SCHIFFLIEBHABER]

FETTTTTTTTT!!!!

ganz dickes LIke!!!!

[MusiqueAllure]

This is amazing!! And THIS is why stringed instruments rock =) Makes me glad I play the cello (and puts me to shame as well haha)

[varnex]

We have a Winer

[Aepotheosis]

Whoaly shit.

[calebduun]

[VomBudd]

Now that, boys and girls, is known as musical talent.

[cornzplosion]

@VomBudd no its what guy poeple masterbate to

[KatyKatetheLeeKaylee]

[KatyKatetheLeeKaylee]

[tools747]

[Polkadotlovagirl]

WOW!

[ajsterisk]

2:10 i didn't know a cello could go that high

[TheJbach]

Wonderful and amazing to be sure!!!

[exalantstar]

[MiteGothique]

Absolutely love this.

[ildiko1pa]

Super Cool! What a feat!

[SasaYamaoka]

[jm4ika]

This man is genius!!!

[PunchyBot]

i personally thought the  guy with the cello was the best

[twinspeaksful]

cue Base...!!!!

[chilean1]

Some parts of this remind me of John Zorn.

[xois2]

which part did the cat play?

[JonValkenberg]

very nice!

[cayoharksen]

Ja gravou o disco, não , me avisa,...OK?

[OmgItzMillerTime]

at first i thought he was playing cowboy bebop that anime? anyone know what im talkin about? the melody he started playing at :32 sounds like it kinda

[ZachTheFastJones]

@OmgItzMillerTime It's called Tank, and it does sound like that, right before the guy goes "Okay. 3, 2, 1. Let's Jam"

[OmgItzMillerTime]

@ZachTheFastJones haha yeah i know, i loved that opening just cause of its melody

[juspasenthru]

Nice sense of rhythm for a white man.

[joshthegreatllama]

Can anyone suggest a good, free, simple track mixing software? I've been trying to do something like this for a while but I can't find a good program :(

This guy is really good though!

[kmr68639]

最初に見たのは2009年でした。何度見ても格好良いですね。

[syglotis]

woooaahhwwwww very very good :)

[BlackRozImmortal]

strange, but I like it!

[david2347]

Sounds like Bleach

[nanarocxie]

@david2347 it really does sound like Bleahc especially when the battles get intense

[toadallyscuba]

Awesome man \m/

[marimdq]

TE QUIERO man! Love you. Great job, really amazing. Made me cry. Huge hug from Argentina!!!!

[hark2e]

A Cello Rondo... I see what you did there!

[Taimaishu92]

You know this guy gets laid.

[cosmosmariner]

@Taimaishu92

Yes. And he does it ALL by himself.

[RockyThe6]

This need's more view

[MrSpinmast3r]

I think they made this to trip you out... Cause man, that tripped the shit outta me out

[popitinpete]

Great ideas! Reminds me of some of the stuff Godley & Creme were doing before they went into pop videos.

[elvein1]

wow

[ruagamer]

Wow, what an amazing collection of musicians. Use of the cat to absorb some of the tenor and give the overall tone more warmth was brilliant!

[daltonsskatevideos]

It's best to watch when your baked!!!

[noahlittlejohn]

The cat gets me every time.

[luckyjinxer]

Aww its been so long since ive seen this, Great composition.

[EthanWiner]

@luckyjinxer Thanks. I recently uploaded a wide-screen HD version of this video. To see it, click my name and find your way to my video uploads.

[SRR023]

i play cello, this is deffinetly possible :D

[bigthunk]

What a goof ball.

[JoshWMyers]

I like the Classy Ethan at 1:07. Screw the nasty Ethan in in pink at 0:26. That bastard has been riding the Classy Ethan's coat tails for years.

[1sammyboy100]

WOW



[1sammyboy100]

[luvisluv13]

I don't care how old he is. I want to marry him.. This is sweet. I wish I was that creative!

[SoundofSilence501]

attack of the clones!!!!!!

[Yellozzhi]

Wow! :O

[xJulianax]

LOL I enjoyed listening to this. :D

[sardonnyx]

Excellent! That had to be amazing fun to write and record.

[Antidoxy]

GENIUS! THATS SO COOL! :)

[essentieVM]

hola my chido video, con que programa fue editado, sabes?.. responde porfavor

[Baphomet66669]

Standing ovation,maestro!!

[MrBunyRabit]

oh man.. MysteryGuitarMan has some major competition...

[jigo53]

@MrBunyRabit not even a competition -_-

[ImprovisEe]

@MrBunyRabit

He should change his name to Mysterychelloman than ...

[scottishcello27]

@ImprovisEe *mysterycelloman

[ImprovisEe]

@scottishcello27 oh my bad, i should realy use grammar sometimes.

[scottishcello27]

@ImprovisEe haha its cool, people spelling cello "chello" is just one of my pet peeves. carry on...

[PVTfluffy]

lol cat. halo

[yoashuain]

Awesome! always good to hear from a fellow musician who truly knows the instrument! TITS! as apposed to Chears

[bindenco2]

Absolutely touching. Thank you for doing this.

[papa1971jon]

so cool

[genmama1955]

This is so awesome! More please!

[EthanWiner]

@genmama1955 I made even more elaborate video using electric guitars and many other instruments. Click my name and get to my YouTube channel, then scroll down to Tele-Vision.

[Surprise9405]

what a genius.

[guitarherownz]

You dont have to play those farther down like off the neck? Thought you would have to...=o

[tyinykiller5]

can anyone tell me what program to use to do a similar thing?

[EthanWiner]

@tyinykiller5 I used Cakewalk SONAR to record and arrange the audio, and Sony Vegas Video to edit the video. These programs are great! But there are others that do similar.

[MidnightSt]

great one. sorry, great 37 :)

the only thing that distracts me a little is that parts of it sounds like the music that plays in The Sims when you furnish your house (which was pretty nice, but it's kind of inappropriate association)

[MidnightSt]

[MrKdnas]

2:01 haha love this part with the cat

[TheNinjawizardman]

man that's just beautiful the cello is my favorite stringed instrument and this just sound delightful and you even went so far as to turn it into a percussion instrument too awsome
