perunamuusi Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nobody seems to have really paid any attention to, or at least noticed, Willemjam's 2 posts linking to Lunapark Ensemble's beautiful rendition of Flim, aired on Dutch TV last week. Also featured in this clip are Prep Gwarlek and a wonderful take on Jynweythek Ylow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc8C63JffLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks hehe. For dutch users; the rest of the broadcast can be found here: http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=10257946 Before they play the last track, they talk a little about Richard's unpronouncable tracktitles being similar to his rhythm sections, and then the host falsely introduces Jynweythek Ylow as "my beer has been spilled", which was the loose translation for Hy A Scullyas Lyf A Dhagrow I think?

Guest Barricade Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 and then the host falsely introduces Jynweythek Ylow as "my beer has been spilled", which was the loose translation for Hy A Scullyas Lyf A Dhagrow I think? yes it seems whenever the name Aphex Twin appears, people tend to make mistakes about song titles, their meanings, etc. They should ask watmm first to confirm ANYTHING about Aphex Twin. I was surprised the host even pronounced "Aphex Twin" in the best way he was able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I know this is totally off topic but what the fuck is with pro musicians and the need for sheet music in a performance? When I was in band and orchestra and in numerous bands I had that shit memorized! Fuck, even aphex drums at their most complicated is memorizable. Leave the sheet music for rehearsal. LOL at the electric guitar player in Prep Gwarlek. He sure looks intense when he plays that 1 note! I don't mean to sound like a negative nancy, as the vid was quite good.

sneaksta303 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 but generally i agree.. i've known a few musos who, while they can play all sorts of technically amazing stuff, lack the creative ability to be able to just play or improvise... seems a bit backwards to me yeah, as do I. I can't read music anymore lol . I can SORT OF still read rhythms but I forgot most of the notes. Fuck it. But I still can pick up a guitar with a band I've never played with before and just kind of wing it nicely, although my soloing has decreased in speed over the years as I play less and less. But saying that these guys had never heard/liked the original doesn't matter because the players would have THEIR version memorized anyway. That's what rehearsals and practicing alone are for. You can't help but memorize it in those situations. There is no way they were onstage for that show playing together for the 1st time, so there should be no excuse to have sheet music for a song of "pop" length... They should be concentrating on the conductor and extracting as much emotion out of the instrument as possible. The notes should not have to be something you concentrate on ideally. Jesus christ I'm rambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba69 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 really good version of flim. but why the fuck do they try to replicate prepared piano pieces with an ensemble? I just think it is funny. A lot of the sound of prop garlic happen by chance. They go so far to try to match timbre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Don't know why anyone cares whether they use sheet music or not. I don't exactly want to see them rocking out with one foot on the amp playing the woodblock solo. They probably rehearse hundreds of songs because they are professionals, no wonder they bring a few reminders with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest call me cookie Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'd say Flim was on a par with Alarm Will Sound standard, awesome vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
