Tan Dun: Paper Concerto

Paper, normally a utilitarian material, becomes a solo instrument in Tan Duns ingenious and inventive Paper Concerto, fusing orchestral music and organic sounds to create accessible, even melodious, music that is almost beyond imagination. Intriguing sounds are created by all manner of different papers, so that they appear elemental rather than simplistic, tapping into something basic in the fabric of our lives. In a remarkable and unforgettable concert experience, Tan Dun directs the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and soloist Haruka Fujii in a vivid demonstration of his belief that orchestral music, far from being static and traditional, still has the capacity for experimentation and the power to stimulate in extraordinary ways.

I am going to be bashing someone's comment lol

Comment-assery aside, I really wish this video was a bit longer. It certainly sounds interesting, but is not quite long enough to convince me.

@ethanyounggg You may disagree with chopinandliszt's opinion, but saying "are you as good as this guy" is pretty dumb. The fact that the comments feature exists makes it clear that both negative and positive comments are welcome on any video.

@chopinandliszt A clarinet is a wooden, tuned, tube....Without someone to play it, it isn't musical and it has no 'potential' as an instrument. Found instruments (paper, water, basketballs, etc) are just the same.
