I've fallen fatally in love with Arctic Monkeys.

RE: Music Discussion thread

This is dying music and dying language. Such a shame, it sounds good imo.

RE: Music Discussion thread

Do you guys know where the wolf tone is on the Violin? I've heard it's most commonly on the G string. I wanna hear it in person not in a YT video. Seems really cool.

Learning this piece right now.

That bassline at 1:17 is glorious.

Had to look that up, very interesting. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hba...iores.html - somewhere around these resonance peaks should be your best bet. Tongue

Yeah, but it doesn't give me any clues about what the notes are. I've heard that it's commonly on the G string, 7th position between B - C#, but no luck so far. Although sometimes the wolf tone could be on the D/A/E strings aswell.

....

I need to check the other strings.

BTW I'm quite wondering whether what it'll feel like playing the Violin WITHOUT a Chin-Rest(I don't use the Shoulder-Rest).

RE: Music Discussion thread

2 month bump. Awesome.

Spoiler below!

Nathan Milstein's bowing is actually quite odd. He uses the Russian bow grip and what I notice that his bowing IS NOT straight at all! In this video, you can sometimes see a straight bowing and a crooked one. But the sound produced is amazing. Also he didn't use a Shoulder Rest.

You can see Milstein's crooked bowing in this video as it's more evident. I've read in Violinist.com that the Auer's students move their shoulder backwards or forwards so that the wrist is in it's natural Russian bow grip shape like the one in Mendelssohn's Concerto above.

Also, it seems like that the wrist of the left hand is slightly bend but still nearly straight. It seems like that people who used the Russian bow grip can't go slow, only fast (Evidenced by Heifetz. I mean his rendition of Rachmaninoff's Vocalise is fast. Over 60 BPM as originally marked.)

Not sure if serious, since Kanye gets a lot of flak on the internet, but yeah, if you really think that, I agree. He's really good.

Really enjoy his producing, especially his samples, melodies and song structures. They're easily accessible, but at the same time, pretty interesting.
