Wild Up: Tiny Desk Concert

[@MrFvasconcellos]

I know the Tiny Desk team always gets a lot of love but can we just appreciate how well miked/mixed this was considering the space. And what amazing dynamics!

[@ScaryDairy15]

The flute player in the back is on Big Brother this season ❤ our Izzy

[@tomas5376]

OMG! Enthusiasm personified! What a group! Bravo🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵👏👏👏👏👏

[@derektanner6836]

Lost me and reeled me back in like 4-5 times! Weird and wild and full of feeling. I’m not sure what I’m feeling but I’m feeling it!

[@allenshively6374]

Such a fine line between brilliance and madness !

[@Beeplesnorb]

I love it when an ensemble like this shows up with music that calls for discordant barking and meowing. One of my favorite tiny desks!!!

[@faunheartist6680]

Omg! The skills, the time, the individual & overall sounds, harmony & dischord....ah hmm Delicious! Thx 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉❤

[@vec875]

Brilliant performance. To my ears, and soul, the piece demonstrates that beneath the chaos of life there is beautiful melody waiting to be experienced.

[@Siris35]

The Cello and the Baritone Sax are just superb.

[@larobfaithful]

Transitions and precision were impeccable! This was a great piece to watch. NPR is living up to expectations.

[@christinajackson646]

I'm going to look up Julius Eastman because I sure didn't hear of him in my music class in college. Go figure. 🤔 I learned something new this morning though.

[@monicabarrios8206]

How beautiful!!! Thank youuu!!! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@RikardPeterson]

Nice! I didn't know what to expect, but the music kept my interest all the way through and I really liked it. I should look for more from these people.

[@sallysteinwachs2245]

Thank you NPR for not allowing commercial interruptions

[@ktthequeen]

Maybe you're being sarcastic, but I def had commercial interruptions. Ironically, cat dental care, right in the middle of the 'meow's.

[@lsrocke]

Thank you so much for presenting this wonderous music. A joy!

[@pauldavisthefirst]

A piece that manages to span the distance from Riley's "In C" (1964) to Reich's "Music For 18 Musicians" (1976), while remaining very much it's own thing. I am indebted to Wild Up and NPR:TDC for the revelation of Mr. Eastman and his work.

[@addiewoolliscroft9723]

Always excited to see a new tiny desk performance has been uploaded!!!!!!!!!!¡!¡!!!¡!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@crosscompiler]

Glad to see they (label and group) are available on hassle-free Bandcamp.

[@Tash7809]

I enjoyed the chaos & beauty. I listened with eyes closed to not be distracted by the musicians. This could be used as the score of Catwoman’s origin story.

[@mattnieri1202]

The ending really surprised me! Loved this performance so much!

[@speight501]

A symphony of euphonic cacophony? I had to look up words to try to describe what I experienced with this music. I'm smiling-

[@Helaw0lf]

I am glad to see this group is finally getting recognition on NPR. I remember two years ago while listening to KUNM, the nightly Sunday show, known as, Other Voices Other Sounds played Julius Eastman's work under the name of an ensemble called Wild Up. Between driving to work and relaxation, I would binge this song and play ot loud on my aux cord. What a lovely treat for these chaotic times we are living in.

[@corenchiereynaldo2417]

Organized Confusion ❤❤

[@JaboRuizLuque]

This was great! Definately out of the norm but super captivating.

[@suzettetaylor6803]

WOW!!! This is the best thing I've heard in a long, long time! I kinda gave up trying to stay on it about halfway through, and just let them pull me along for the rest of the ride. How do so musicians DO this together? Just astonishing!

[@samuelbrisseau2694]

Nice to see Darian Donovan Thomas again in a Tiny Desk Concert !!!

[@Yarglish]

A-ma-zing ! I discover them, waking up (in France) and this is realy good !

[@sofiamorehead418]

this is such a breathtaking performance. never knew i needed such a chaotic piece of music in my life, but i’m glad to have found it

[@tamrahrane3349]

I feel it is actually a nervous system release. It brings up the chaos and then releases it…. It’s brilliant. Keeps you so focus you enter a different state.

[@fideliusconcrete4871]

When everything is great: the composer, the conductor, the orchestra - and every single one of them is amazing. This stuff makes me happy and especially curious, like what's next around the corner after the melody went this way instead of that ... THANK YOU!

[@User-g28vZ9Een7fSUT-]

this music is like cheerful sorcery reminds me of the movie "MIDSUMMUER"

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Joy, joy, joy!!! Brilliant! Best wishes, health, joy, wellbeing...

[@ayysweetstea9339]

Yessss people play those instruments 💥💥💥👌🔥👌🔥

[@thutsman.]

The first non verbally focused song to make me cry. Rough and joyful. Thank you NPR for opening my perspective in more than one way.

[@veloopity]

fantastic, many thanks for this performance !!

[@rodrigosalgado3187]

Que tremendo shows en ese espacio con instrumentos muy especiales una sinfonía lo felicito por su trabajo por su organización con el coro que caótico 😮😮😅😎😎

[@jasonrosenholtz-witt3580]

I love to see Julius Eastman celebrated so fully and beautifully by this group.

[@dbadagna]

The Chicago-based marching band Mucca Pazza had 23 members when they played their Tiny Desk Concert in 2015!

[@AmsoulIllustrations]

This is how I feel when walking in the streets of Miami, Florida

It's the first time I'm hearing something this awesome. Can anyone give me similar pieces?

[@JeanneW777]

Hi, Alexia. Give a listen to Gentle Giant. They are awesome. I commented in this video about the similarities between the music WildUp is playing and Gentle Giant's sound. GG is very inventive, have a very unique sound.
