Couple Guitar Duet
I just thought this was so cool, I already watched it 5 times today. When a composer for an orchestra, you begin to look at instruments different. You write different songs, try and integrate multiple arts into one, break down walls, take chances. This video is a breathe of that vision. I’ve seen (and written) for odd instruments and ensembles. I’ve composed for a pile of bricks, and had ideas for some of my music. Its all in experimentation. Its the only way to grow, by simply learning from your mistakes. “If it scares you do it.” Well, here’s a video that is new, and fresh, and is scary when considering the hours and ‘what ifs’ that they had when they started.
If orchestral arrangements are more your thing, then this reminded me of the Two Guys One Flute video. There is also the Guitar Duet. But this is different, because there’s a connection between the two performers. It draws you in. In addition, it appears to be much more advanced than the other 2 videos – not that the other two aren’t advanced – they are. But this video moved me, both in its performance, and the connection between the two performers. When the performers are authentic and enjoying their work, the audience takes notice. There is nothing more important to a composer, because to write the music is one thing, but leave your audience changed is another.
