Ah Ferneyhough

Who does he think he is?Discussing rhythm with percussionists!

I wonder if he even understands the tuplets-notation that he uses... seeing how he is here busy trying to explain the rhythm, but ends up showing unrelated, simple linear beats.

So Ferneyhough's FIDELITY to himself: absolute zero.Complete Fail.

But.. even if Ferneyhough were capable of giving (not a literal, but a) "fidelious" performance of the rhythm; it's still not my def.of music - click on my channel to see why

I heard a similar piece played by drainage workmen on assorted hammers and shovels while stuck in roadworks on the A27 Chichester bypass on 22 July 2005. They appeared to be playing without sheet music, having committed the piece to memory - a staggering achievement - though at one point the foreman shouted to a young lad "Keep up, ye fookin slacker!!", indicative of the immense challenges faced by even these seasoned Ferneyhoughian contrapuntalists.

Ferneyhough is boss. Haters are just mad cause they're confused.

@fremsley001 It's this kind of verbal diarrhoea that makes me very suspicious of Ferneyhuffandputf. I think "contrived shite" sums it up rather well.

Mr. FraudyHuff's singing won't get him on X-Factor.

@JonathonNotely why wouldnt he explain the rhythm to the precussionists if they are doing it wrong.... and also... if you see that the musicians arent able to do what u want... then you have no other choise than to simplify things for them....

@fremsley001 possibly the most lolworthy thing i have seen today

Ferneyhough writes of "creating a dynamically fertile perspectival multiplicity which would both intensify momentary expression and negate any tendency to dissociate the fragile contingency of local events and larger-scale formal organization from the effortful work involved in traversing (rather, that is, than leaping over) the disturbingly unstable and eruptive landscape of middleground speculation."

Pffffhh!! - and there was me thinking his music was just contrived shite.
