Colin Stetson | A Take Away Show | Part 2

If ever there was a time to not write about music and to simply listen, this is it. Colin Stetson's horns are played with an absolute and uncompromising authority. His accomplishments and collaborations are many and considerable. His discipline is unrelenting. He plays here alone in his home, a man at work to create a powerful orchestra of tones, a hydra-headed sound only to be experienced, not to be described.

  • meh

  • @shuckslbj sounds like he is humming/singing while playing. Neat

  • whatever about his brilliant hypnotic music, he's got a really nice house as well

  • Oh... so THIS is what my Band teacher was trying to teach me... lol

  • dual tones???

  • omg I never thought I would like saxophone music, this is soo amazing

  • @theneedledrop He was wonderful, saw him right before Gold Panda.

  • @kuboaadv Agreed, really all music requires repeated exposure to understand and appreciate. When we all grow up surrounded by the same pop structures, instrumentation, and chord changes, we don't notice it. But imagine what those dudes playing Jojouka or Gamelan music think of Beyonce or Slayer. Hell, Miles Davis thought Ornette Coleman was a lunatic in the late 50s, and 12 years later he did Live Evil. It was noisy-as-hell free jazz that helped me appreciate death metal... You never know.

  • @Oneiricist Well, I think that there is a lot of music that people need an "in" to. Some of those people might be so taken by it that they do their searching and discover lots of things that they wouldn't have in the first place. When I was a kid growing up in a small town listening to mostly death metal and hardcore and the like(pre-internet), it was the one group that threw in the jazz guy that cracked that door and allowed it to be kicked in the first time someone played me Miles Davis.

  • fucking haunting.
