*When your orchestra teacher pulls out a piece written in pi/4 out of nowhere*

[asherrubenstein]

ling ling doesn't need to sight read because he knows every piece

[mayukhbera]

Friend: "So are you a composer or mathematician?"
Ligeti: "Yes"

[Mystic_Gateway]

The last piece's time signature is something I would see on one of my physics exams.

I love how in their last episode they were warning people to be careful when using the bow because they might hit someone, then in this video Brett proceeds to hit Eddy with the bow

[invalidargument]

Nobody has mentioned that they're putting an expensive piece of tech on a not-particularly-sturdy music stand

[blueberry]

Eddy while Brett sightreads: helpfully counting the weird rhythms for him
Brett while Eddy sightreads: laughing uncontrollably, falling asleep

[Oblivion]

Eddy: "That's not even music!"
Ligeti: "Shut up Mom, it's my _art!"_

[sherrygorse]

When Brett is playing a very difficult piece, Eddy exuberantly helps him count.

When Eddy is playing a very difficult piece, Brett melts into the wall and dies.

EDIT: Thanks for all the likes and the spell check. :)

Brett: I feel like the notes have taken over.

You know what else has taken over? Us not being able to practise because you keep on uploading daily videos. 😂

"Complicated time signatures eh? Can't wait to see them tackle 6/8 or 7/8"
>Sees 32/44 and 3/32
"Oh."

[viktorkrumapotheosisenthus]

9:30 that’s a damn math equation that ain’t no time signature

[evancrazyerror]

9:32 When your music becomes Algebra.... it’s time to stop...

[hening]

9:30 When you want to be a composer but mum wants you to be mathematician

[WinglesDragon]

You call these time signatures hard? *laughs/cries in percussion*
Okay but what actually is the purpose of that 3/32 time signature? The only time those time signatures make any sense is in pieces where the time signature changes constantly. Otherwise the composer is just trying to be edgy and making their piece look complex and innovative, when in reality it's just in 3/4 with extra lines.

Jazz musicians: "first time?"

If you're singing in the shower and get shampoo in your mouth, does it become a soap opera?

[Ramberta]

01:35 "Oh yeah, [new strings] change the rhythm" Eddy needs an ice pack for that BURN lmaoooo

[bleemblargo]

"That's not even music" for composers is roughly equivalent to "if you can play it slow you can play it fast" for violinists.
