sebastian Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 ouff, insane. I hope he will use this technique in his own live-sets too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blsked Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, not really conducting, but I guess there's no other word for this kind of stuff. Cool idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rotchnock Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sounds like a cool concept, too bad the output wasn't half as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yikes Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 once again this is a massive prank and he is laughing at all of us i'm sure he got paid to do this right? this must have cost …what a half a million to put together maybe more? he's got hundreds of musicians forced to play with headphones and color coded drone charts to make what is essentially droned out ambient these are most likely the people who have to play redundant classical repertoire their entire lives. it sounds like steve roache to me meanwhile richard is splifing out laughing remotely in a studio …pushing faders brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundwave Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 the concept is eccentrically Stockhausen and an amazing technical feat to pull off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DotRR Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe theres a pattern here? Squarepusher is sorta doing a live setup thing albeit on a much smaller scale with Alex Thomas (he said they're both doing the work of like 4-5 people). Maybe there is a sort of push for this sort of thing. RDJ has brushed classical music in the past anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wall Bird Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Does it bother anyone else that you do not actually see the person conducting the musicians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blsked Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think what makes this so strange is the fact, that the conducting part (in the way it is performed) is somewhat insignificant. Of course the arrangement of the chords they played might be unique, but then again a more "human" conductor could make way more subtle changes and also I don't think that Richard - while conducting - could come up with something that is more brilliant than a prearranged piece. So what is left here is a nonetheless very interesting piece of music and an all the more interesting musical idea (as Wall Bird pointed out - absent conducting). What this needs is way more technical features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 the concept is pretty simple (if a little pretentious) but doing it live with a real orchestra must have quite an eerie experience to hear in the flesh from a sonic/textural point if view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDO Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 the concept is brilliant and so simple; mixing an orchestra live. Probably any conductor's dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
