Not PC, Not High Art
For all you Radiohead lovers who declare that pop has entered the classical stratosphere, let this video be a lesson to you. If you think this is good, I suggest seeking medical attention.
PS: My opinion is strictly re: the song, not the performance or arrangement by the folks over at Berkeley in this vid. Those aspects are both great. I’m referring singularly to the elements in this Radiohead song. Even if we resurrected Bach from the dead to score it for these instruments, it would still sound horrible. Sorry Radiohead.
Refining the Concept
Online Improvisation Friday
Regarding improvisation night on Friday, I’ve decided to leave Twitter out of the title. The fact that we do this on Twitter is insignificant. In the future there will be many more Twitters and Facebooks with new inventions that will allow for greater participation and immersion. 3D and holographic imaging is becoming a reality. NVIDIA just announced a 3D video card with glasses. And not many people know that most games are prepared and set up for this. In other words, its not the game or the environment that creates the 3D, its just the video card and glasses. Jeff Harrington mentioned we could use Adobe to coordinate live audio.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not proposing we all turn into hermits, but if you’re saving your money and staying in on Friday, you will have the opportunity of performing and getting heard. What’s not to love about that?
