So this is (the real) Death Waltz (actually) by John Stump. Or at least some fun elder folks having a good go at it. I've just been browsing through all the UN Owen videos falsely refereed to as Death Waltz, and it's rather annoying.
1) I'm a fan of the UN Owen music, and it's wrong to mis credit it to John and not Zun.
and
2) A fun "composition" as crazy as this deserves to be known properly. It would be great to see more attempts made at it.
@Zfortsniff Yes---the chair WAS balanced on three legs (I believe the sax player did it) and the big release of the penguins (actually, stuffed puffins) happened on a catapult contraption that sent the puffins-acting-as-penguins up into the light fixture, breaking it and sending glass down close to the violin. Probably the most exciting part of the whole business.
@Zfortsniff It's not a "fail" if there's a small thing left out. If you can do it, one up them. Then, you can say "fail" if you want. You'll still be a jerk, but at least you can back it up.
Oh! A thought just passed me, I bet Frank Zappa would've gotten a kick out of this.
I don't mean to be so spammy, but really I hope you don't take this off of YouTube. All of you should be proud of bringing such a crazy thing like this to life.
Unlike lots of other people (who were mad about how it's not even music), I was disappointed about how they did not have real cattle, explosives, or a duck.
It's very brave of you to even attempt this piece. I value that. Though it seemed like you pretty much paused the song whenever you performed one of the required actions.They could have been more smoothly integrated into the note playing. Oh, and I didn't see any penguins. But other than that, thank you for bringing this to the world!
@shadowlink96 Yeah, but if more WERE like this, they'd get more kids into music. (And secretly, in their own little private worlds, music teachers ARE like this.)
This IS death waltz. Some idiot posted the touhou song as "death waltz" and everyone believed it. Now half the internet thinks touhou is death waltz. This is the real death waltz, a song created as a joke. John Stump has *nothing* to do with the touhou song everyone thinks is "death waltz"... it's very irritating. The song everyone THINKS is death walks is an all piano version of a touhou remix of Flandre Scarlet's theme by Cool&create. Ugh.
If you want to know more about this, please click on the title and read the information.
