Carolina Eyck and Clarice Jensen: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@bogscholar691]

YES I am so excited that Carolina got on here!!!! Such an incredible performer, and her compositions are so unique. I have never heard Clarice before, but I already adore her! NPR is simply the best for giving exposure to so many wonderful musicians. Love this!!!

[@elroytoelle2784]

Science and music has always been mutually benefiting each other and it's incredible that she is able to play the instrument in such a way to create tones. Just... Wow

[@sethewing15]

Well that's because music is science!

[@juddhamilton3053]

my friend VDP says that music is the highest math and I believe he's right.

[@Cavball9]

They say one should learn something new each day of existence. Today I learned how it feels to live inside an Escher painting. Fantastic.

[@SteveG123]

The primary reason I like it as much as I do is the self-restraint & musicality demonstrated. It's very easy with FX laden instruments to go off the deep end & not in a good way. Very well done & beautiful to the ears.

[@supperpuppy8]

Sometimes I forget how absolutely insane and otherwordly music can sound. God this is so refreshing a free form kind of way

[@duathani]

the next generation of classical is going to be wild

[@francissadleir9805]

It really is going to be exciting to see what people are able to come up with, with all this new technology.

[@francissadleir9805]

David Guyette depends on what you define classical as

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

David Guyette how is it ”obviously” that? Is, say, Steve Reich and composers form his generation, which the first piece reminded me of, ”extremely avant-garde”, ”extremely far from classical”? Hell, the cello piece even made me think of someone like Johann Johannsson / Hildur Gudnadottir.

[@buggyfanatic6918]

@@francissadleir9805 The theremin has been around for like 100 years one of the first electric instruments.

[@jules6631]

@@davidguyette2586 Shostakovich literally composed for the theremin.... it's classical

[@empress_josie]

I love this recent showcasing in the variance of avant-garde not just being noise but a spectrum of the construction of different ideas through different...frequencies ;) but seriously, I love this. Both are fantastic performers with an obvious virtuosic-level grasp on their respective instrument. The way the piece, "Frequency" showcases this between the ear-grabbing melodic passages to the more abstract ideas in which the work is enveloped is phenomenal, and is a wonderful synopsis of contemporary music as a whole; the idea of "organized sound" (an interesting perspective of music coined by Edgard Varèse that I highly suggest people look up). Also, I love the theremin and Eyck plays it with such confidence, which could obviously be said as well for Jensen. Well done! Moar plz

[@boburiinchankludho]

The third song was so beautiful and mesmerizing, it made me shed a couple of tears

[@walterthemusician8741]

I love seeing music pushed to the boundaries. This is so creative. Thanks NPR for being a place where musicians can see everywhere music can go!

[@lulukallinen6670]

Oh my god..i never Heard Clarice Jensen before..But this really went really straight to my heart and Bones..i think you only can write those pieces if you can dig verry,verry deep and View the world from a Million perspektives that it's nearly become exhausting.. its Like the melodys would Talk to eachother in a diffrent Perspektive Like at the Edge of something old But something new. I really loved her Piece.

[@roseopheliashepherd8379]

I see in this a bright glimmer of an electro-acoustic future

[@joserosales7219]

Yessssssss I have been following her for ages and it is so surreal to see her get so far!!!!!

[@Loloratura]

Amazing seeing two of my favorite channels combined. Glückwunsch, Carolina 🌟

[@ahdbiker]

When one can keep their mind open music can becomes the essence of the breaths of life. Today in America an open mind is the only way to survive and breech the closed and walls. Music in more than a wooden box with strings, thanks so much for music like this ... !

[@jesusfranco4762]

Wow Girls....! Se compenetraron en mi intimidad, qué extraordinaria experiencia. Felicitaciones a NPR por compartir su exquisito gusto ...

[@joserosales7219]

Thank you Tiny Desk!!!!!

[@RikardPeterson]

I haven't heard a theremin used the way she used it at the very beginning before, blending in with her voice like that. I like it!

This is like the opera scene in the fifth element, so futuristic and enchanting

[@atabutter440]

That cello piece at around 8.28 minutes is delightful, beautiful and mesmeric.

[@jimbodini35]

That first tune started out so amazing. Then the rest of the music joined.... not what what I was expecting. The beginning was so serene and beautiful.

[@vblake530530]

Hauntingly Beautiful.

[@octacorazza]

"frequencies" reminded me of the artist "sigur ros" Really very beautiful what you do, thanks!

[@joebrown6339]

Definitely a Sigor Ros vibe with the hovering, nearly overtones.

[@subtronika]

Definitely, The second half of this piece instantly made me think of Sigur Ros

[@dtheengineer2746]

It's funny how people dont realize that instrument (Theremin) is really old. It's the first electronic instrument ever used in classical music

[@chrismathewsjr]

way to erase the Orchestrion's history

[@iankellymorris]

chrismathewsjr The Orchestrion was essentially a bunch of acoustic instruments played automatically by mechanical means. Certainly not electronic in the way a theremin is.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

@@chrismathewsjr that's not an electric instrument, that would be mechanical which is very different

[@chrismathewsjr]

​@@Dell-ol6hbThank you captain pedant

[@cosimopiovasco8196]

Touching from a distance... love it!

[@nielsott]

Thank you for this experience. I do experimental/"new" music myself (I have a bit of difficulty with all those labels people put onto it). It's nice to see this kind of music here on such a popular channel.

[@NickSBailey]

"That's how simple it is" no it's not at all, a great demonstration of a difficult but fascinating instrument.

[@jimlawton4184]

That was really beautiful!

[@jj9533]

Theramin bars! Wow. I only just recently learned about the theramin. Its a skilled art.

[@joebrown6339]

Bravo! What a moving third piece!

[@marcosorrentiakaditirambo9306]

In my opinion the last pice has an OA ambientation, somehow.. Really enjoyfull. Thank you.

[@mistery-ed7900]

Best theremin player since Clara Rockmore!

[@wendelynmusic]

I've been following Carolina for a few years now. Definitely one of the better players out there. I hope they do an album as a duo. They are good together

[@snazzback]

Beautiful! However the pedant within must point out that electromagnetism has nothing to do with the operation of theremin. Each 'antennae' forms one plate of a capacitor, the other plate being the players body. Completely different scientific principles!

Damn guys the hell is that instrument??? I wanna try it tooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭 btw dat cutie has nice musicality :3

[@somegeezer]

It's a theremin.

[@ronsmith1364]

Try a KB synth with a theremin sound function. She has mastered a very difficult instrument and creates ethereal music with it. Ms Eyck also has her own channel. And finding one is like having an original handpan. BOL tho

[@NickSBailey]

They still make new theramins give it a try if you can.

[@parix85]

i really wish they get lil pump on here...

[@burger1113]

Intro sounds like some calling out in Korean "Mommy!" when they are scared. Dunno why despite knowing how hard it is to play theremins, I can't take its music seriously.

[@thartwig]

Honestly you can only layer stuff for so long before it really gets repetitive. Her theremin is super impressive, but the song structure weak.
