Guest blsked Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, not really conducting, but I guess there's no other word for this kind of stuff. Cool idea though.

Guest rotchnock Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sounds like a cool concept, too bad the output wasn't half as good. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/69722-remote-conducting/#findComment-1685817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yikes Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 once again this is a massive prank and he is laughing at all of us i'm sure he got paid to do this right? this must have cost …what a half a million to put together maybe more? he's got hundreds of musicians forced to play with headphones and color coded drone charts to make what is essentially droned out ambient these are most likely the people who have to play redundant classical repertoire their entire lives. it sounds like steve roache to me meanwhile richard is splifing out laughing remotely in a studio …pushing faders brilliant Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/69722-remote-conducting/#findComment-1710201 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DotRR Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe theres a pattern here? Squarepusher is sorta doing a live setup thing albeit on a much smaller scale with Alex Thomas (he said they're both doing the work of like 4-5 people). Maybe there is a sort of push for this sort of thing. RDJ has brushed classical music in the past anyway.

Guest Wall Bird Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Does it bother anyone else that you do not actually see the person conducting the musicians?

Guest blsked Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think what makes this so strange is the fact, that the conducting part (in the way it is performed) is somewhat insignificant. Of course the arrangement of the chords they played might be unique, but then again a more "human" conductor could make way more subtle changes and also I don't think that Richard - while conducting - could come up with something that is more brilliant than a prearranged piece. So what is left here is a nonetheless very interesting piece of music and an all the more interesting musical idea (as Wall Bird pointed out - absent conducting). What this needs is way more technical features. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/69722-remote-conducting/#findComment-1722493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 the concept is pretty simple (if a little pretentious) but doing it live with a real orchestra must have quite an eerie experience to hear in the flesh from a sonic/textural point if view Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/69722-remote-conducting/#findComment-1722508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
