#string performance

[freakinflipflop]

I imagine Kristoph Gavin was a 2nd violin in a string quartet when he was in college. He's absolutely the kind of guy to have played violin, and I would imagine he LOVED like. Haydn. But he's not showy enough to want the first violin position. And he gets SO perfectionist about the whole thing that the quartet ends up falling apart after 6 months.

So when his little brother is the lead musician in a successful band? AND has passed the bar and is about to debut as a lawyer? It makes Kristoph So Fucking Mad. Why does Klavier get to have everything Kristoph has strived to have. Why can Klavier do what Kristoph couldn't.

Kristoph doesn't know that behind the scenes Klavier is just as much of a control freak with his music as Kristoph was- Klavier is just able to keep his relationships based in kindness enough that it doesn't all fall apart.

woke up and Immediately chose to be a yapper again. i was thinking about delta and remembered something from the q&a sections in the manga, which i think might also be lesser known delta info??

upon reading this the first time i was ready to give myself an ass whooping because even though i'm a samulnori enjoyer i completely missed the reference delta's launch was making. i genuinely thought he was just being a bit of a clown. shame on my whole family /j

what is samulnori though? samulnori is a type of traditional korean music involving four types of drums:

janggu (장구) - mimics the sound of rain

buk (북) - mimics the sound of clouds (?)

jing (징)- mimics the sound of wind

kkwaenggwari (꽹과리) - mimics the sound of thunder

as a whole, everything together mimics the sound of a storm. it's a modern adaptation of ancient ritual music koreans would perform during holidays, but it was probably used to tackle periods of drought in agriculture as well. alongside the music comes traditional dances too (sogo dance, or "drum dance"). i'll only dive into the move delta's launch is referencing - 자반뒤집기 (ji-ban-dwi-jib-gi, roughly translates to tossing/writhing in pain. as a verb it can also be used to say "to change one's thoughts or actions in an opposite direction")

"수백, 수천 번을 연습해야 좋은 소리와 몸짓이 나온다."

"it takes hundreds, thousands of hours of practice to truly master the move and sounds." and this sounds pretty accurate for delta's experience too, since it took him 3001 attempts to perfect this launch. the kkwaenggwari players, which represent thunder as mentioned previously, are the ones performing the move and they're usually the main highlight of the entire performance.

i believe oh jin koo did this reference as a funny jab because the name of delta's best friend is quite literally drum, but there's also some other layers to it. the performer (delta) and the drum (drum/dante) - they go hand in hand. the show cannot be if either of them isn't present. the meanings behind the name of the move itself are also things delta goes through in the show. he does writhe in pain while trying to be "the brightest star in the sky", while trying to satiate diabolos' endless hunger. and in the end his mindset does change into the opposite direction, this time for the better

in summary: the way the animation studio was cooking with this is not to be underestimated
