Contemporary Violin Techniques - Guide for Composers (1/2)

[@kangyiflute]

those are usually provided by the composers before the score. in fact, because every composer have different preferences in notation, it's important to have a 'performance directions' page before each score. if you want a good guide book, I recommend Kurt Stone's 'Music Notation in the 20th Century'. Good luck!!

[@ger.lieder]

thanks i dont have this book

[@timcox5373]

My favorite part of this, as an (almost) film composer, you're talking all about how bad some things sound and I'm just like "...I need a string orchestra to do this" ;) Thanks for the great insight!

[@MemoriesOfTheSummer]

You have no idea how happy this video made me. Cheers from England X

[@JennaBagpipes]

This is SO helpful, thank you for posting all these videos! I love to imagine what non-musicians must think when they watch this too... especially to parts like "This is really nice, I like this:" *SCREEEEE*

[@themusictrip9822]

non-violinists u mean, because i annoy musicians with this haha !

[@kitkatvantass3104]

four years late to the party, but i'm gonna spoil everything anyway; as a non-musician i can say it sounds like real good soundtrack stuff. v scary (i mean this in like a genuine horror movie suspense way, not a sarcastic insult)

Glad you like it. There are two good websites provided in the video description of my piece. Please check them out under the video 'Belated Birthday Rhapsody'.

this is so helping. thank you!

[@kikkimaki]

"Because of the mathematics... Oscillation... It is like cooking... Bow weight or speed, there are three variables... It is a complex equation..." I liked the violin player. :)

[@ernestoalaimo]

[@AugmentedOctave]

Very helpful upload! Thank you. Composer

[@MthokozisiKhanyile]

NB... for the first one (white noise) you have to have longer note durations it's not necessarily a quick action. try to replicate the sound of a radio that has lost signal

[@mjanocha]

Brilliant idea. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@Friedbeer]

Thank you for sharing!

[@kangyiflute]

Thank You so much...Love you

[@_syrlane]

This is amazing, thank you! Now, how can I have access to the paper you are reading from? It is so important for composers to have this kind of material as a reference.

[@kangyiflute]

Hello. Just search for Ashley Fure. The piece is Aperture/Iris.

[@_syrlane]

Thank you very much!

[@87linceed]

thankyou very much!!! can you do one on flute??

[@kangyiflute]

Thanks for the suggestion! I did two videos on flute extended techniques.

[@geraldillo]

great video!

[@AndreasvanHaren]

great information, thanks so much!

[@nmitchell076]

On some parts there was a piece of paper that appeared to have notation examples, where'd you get that?

[@kangyiflute]

those are usually provided by the composers before the score. in fact, because every composer have different preferences in notation, it's important to have a 'performance directions' page before each score. if you want a good guide book, I recommend Kurt Stone's 'Music Notation in the 20th Century'. Good luck!!

[@llamasama4458]

could you maybe play it in a higher register where it would need to be closer to the bridge and use a dampener to make it soft?

[@kangyiflute]

Good comment. But Note the sound quality using mutes is different from playing softly.

[@llamasama4458]

thanks for the super fast reply

[@kangyiflute]

Leo Kitajima replied, "Sure - you can certainly use a mute, perhaps even a metal practice mute. But composers should know that regular mutes are used to change the timbre/color, not necessarily to play softer because you can still play quite loudly with a regular mute."

[@JennaBagpipes]

How is circular bowing notated? With the pitches repeated at every bow direction change, or every full circle, or...?

[@kangyiflute]

+Kiri I would recommend using a different noteheads or some form of explanation above the passage. Then upbow (semi circle) and downbow (semi circle) notes should be indicated. If the notes don't change, then simply hold long notes and write "Circular bowing" and explain in performance directions.

[@JennaBagpipes]

Kangyi Zhang thanks!

[@MERWYNBETANCOURTH]

hi you have scores???i need to know how to write

[@kangyiflute]

If you want a good guide book, I recommend Kurt Stone's 'Music Notation in the 20th Century'. Good luck!!

[@cajonaconaquetebotou]

2:55 I heard all this sounds on Looney Tunes.

[@ComponCar12]

el violin tiene muchas sonoridades inexploradas porque el violinista promedio esta siempre aferrado al mismo repertorio,creo jeje.

[@moutopet]

this is another way of doing the 1st one (i think?) watch?v=ky0d8AVBPgE
