Composer Tan Dun's three-movement Water Concerto is hypnotic, both visually and aurally. Using water as a musical instrument, this extraordinary piece uses innovative techniques to explore "organic music"

No. This is like the version of modern art, but in music. Hard pass

Cypress Hill's Hits From The Bong is another good example of using water as a musical instrument 😆

That is just noise, not music.

This could be interesting in a different arrangement, but in presence of a classic orchestra this seems… bizarre and unfitting Also really doubt this is innovative, this is probably how music was shaping up centuries and centuries ago

Pretty cool stuff. Banging on random things is how most instruments were invented.

After the concert

Look ASMR made it into the symphony 💧

Very theatrical 👍

Why did I always get in trouble when I tried this as a kid doing dishes

Will give front row seats a miss

I like it.

next morning i would be making sneezy music

this but in an elegant evening dress and accompanied by an orchestra.

Wonder what she could do with a wash board...

I’ve got some linguini that needs rinsing

Oh so this Is what they were always calling autism...fascinating

and the relationship between nature and music. The first movement of the Water Concerto features the use of water bowls, which are struck with mallets to create a variety of sounds and tones. The performers manipulate the water in the bowls to change the pitch and timbre of the sounds, creating a mesmerizing and ethereal atmosphere. The fluidity of the water adds an element of unpredictability to the music, as the performers must constantly adjust their technique to control the sound. In the second movement, the performers use water-filled tubes to create a haunting and otherworldly sound. By blowing air through the tubes and manipulating the water inside, they produce a range of eerie and atmospheric tones that seem to echo through the concert hall. The combination of the water's natural properties and the performers' skillful manipulation of it results in a truly unique and captivating musical experience. The final movement of the Water Concerto features the use of water drums, which are filled with varying levels of water to produce different pitches. The performers strike the drums with their hands, creating a rhythmic and percussive sound that is both powerful and evocative. The water adds a dynamic element to the music, as the performers must carefully control the amount of water in each drum to achieve the desired pitch and resonance. Overall, Tan Dun's Water Concerto is a groundbreaking work that pushes the boundaries of traditional music and explores the potential of water as a musical instrument. Through innovative techniques and a deep connection to nature, this piece creates a hypnotic and immersive musical experience that is truly unforgettable.

Cos'è sta cagata? 🤭

If I say anything negative about this I'm looked at as uncultured and uneducated who doesn't understand art

The same somg can never be performed twoce.

This sounds like the soundtrack to a SuperMario game…

Was ok to watch the creativity one time for 40 seconds, but that's it.

Crap

I heard Tan Dun's "Water Concerto" live in March 2005 performed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert Spano, with percussionist Tom Sherwood as the soloist. Excellent performance, fascinating piece. Huge difference in impact between live and video.

Υπέροχο !!

Water we listening to?

Nah, that just Street Performance. good street performance, even creative. For Street Performance. NOT MUSIC.

Bet she enjoys a good bath.

Everytime I watch this, I have to pee more.
