I say I’m not that southern but as soon as I hear intense string music I know it’s time for a demonic fiddling contest in Georgia

Quick little string piece today, some practice in recontextualizing a melody. Both parts use the same melody, but with very different surrounding texture and context, giving both parts of the piece a different effect.
As always, these pieces are welcome for anyone and everyone to play! All I ask is that you share it with me, because I'd love to hear it done by live players!

The Hurdy-Gurdy Player (Le Joueur de Vielle) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Did you know that the hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that has been around since the Middle Ages? Initially, it was used for sacred music, but over time, it became famous for playing popular and folk music.
It even found favour at the French court! Although it experienced a decline in popularity, it is currently experiencing a resurgence and can be found in various genres, from traditional folk to progressive rock and avant-garde music.
Interestingly, the reason for its name is unknown, but it is speculated that it may be related to the sound it produces.
Unlike other string instruments, the hurdy-gurdy creates sound by rubbing its strings with a rosined wheel. It also has drone strings that create a buzzing accompaniment to the tune, similar to bagpipes that create a buzzing accompaniment.

 LECTURE 15: THE BARDS OF POP: If you haven’t seen the 1968 animated film YELLOW SUBMARINE, you’re in store for a trippy cultural experience. It’s definitely an uneven work of cinema, but one of its better moments is this scene matched to “Eleanor Rigby,” Paul’s haunting 1966 song about alienation, unfulfilled expectations and, ultimately, death. In other words, it’s about as UN-BEATLEMANIA as you can get! Interestingly, The Beatles did not play any of the instruments on this track. Instead, George Martin hired a string octet, which  featuring four violins, to furnish the musical accompaniment. The song was recorded on April 28 and 29, and June 6, 1966. A song expressing deep empathy with lonely elderly women was unheard of in rock music at the time. In 2008, Paul told an interviewer for Observer Music Monthly what inspired him to write the unforgettable song "These lonely old ladies were something I knew about growing up, and that was what 'Eleanor Rigby' was about - the fact that she died and nobody really noticed. I knew this went on."

Strings again today, this one featuring the second violin. I experimented with some ways to use glissandi as a melodic device rather than an effect, and I think it turned into a neat motivic idea for the work. I also played a bit with doublings, at the octave, fourth, and fifth.
As always, these pieces are welcome for anyone and everyone to play! All I ask is that you share it with me, because I'd love to hear it done by live players!

Turtle Takedown Teamwork.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#tulu xuanwu#Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me.#The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.”#don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things.#We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play.#There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'.#The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice.#The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing)#A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard.#And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX -#LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together.#And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped)#But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone.#Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ.#It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing.#Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters
