THIS IS SHITE! spoke Zarathustra
>> ^grubert:
This is not played by some unknown high school orchestra, what you hear is the great Portsmouth Sinfonia: "Players had to be either non-musicians, or if a musician, play an instrument that was entirely new to them."
There's more on YouTube, like the William Tell Overture.
Thanks! Updated Tags and Info accordingly.

2 Rubik's Cubes + Guitar Hero 3 Advanced
Pretty redundant , its like playing a unicycle and guitar hero at the same time , if you know how to do each its not a sceptical to do both together , like singing whilst playing an instrument.
Starwars, solo.
This looks real to me.
Patch changes - You can program keyboards to follow music and change patches at appropriate times. You can also layer patches, so that you can play several instruments at the same time. Combine the two along with some skill and you have the ability to play an orchestral piece with two hands and two feet.
Sped up? - No. This isn't as difficult as it sounds. Try turning off the volume and just watching the performance. This is well within the grasp of a decent organist.
Percussion? - It does sound like some of it is tracked or perhaps triggered via patch changes.
Starwars, solo.

All the VST's I currently use sound really good With Manny of them used in Chart music and some Game/film scores
Granted over the last 6 years i have probably spent over 1,000 on music software But its all worth it as it as you only have to produce 2 hours of music to have repaied that cost and u have complete freedom to make any sound you want ie a full production setup.
Other than the lay out and automation for playing stuff live these eltrnom organ synths seem very impractical, Expensive and large. watching people play it its not that remarkable as any one can learn how to play an instrument to a reasonable standard within 6 years. ( if you go on you tube u can watch many clips and see how these work to see its not that remarkable to play something like Jurassic park / star wars theme ) , no more remarkable than jumping a motocross bike getting a 2.1 degree , winning some county level tennis matches.
the problem with music instrument industry is its full of pompous twats that buy into all the overpriced shit , its like photography to some existent where it costs me £50 to get something for my canon SLR that is cheep and mass produced.
Young Harpist Gets His Groove On
>> ^westy:
what a stupendously inconvenient instrument to learn far better off learning a keyboard
Unless, of course, you want to be a harpist. Or maybe he just gets an extra rush from playing an instrument that could kill him if it fell over on him.
why bother learning other peoples music when u can use a CD player for that , if u can play an instrument u might as well make u own music.
That might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone write on VS.
Young Harpist Gets His Groove On
what a stupendously inconvenient instrument to learn far better off learning a keyboard ore something that can then be used to control Manny instruments/sounds . also why bother learning other peoples music when u can use a CD player for that , if u can play an instrument u might as well make u own music.
Will Rock Band Drums Teach You Real World Drumming?
Yea that was utterly and completely a setup. I've put rock band drummers on my 9 piece Tama kit and they had no idea what they were even doing. They tried to hit the drums in the same patterns they had taught themselves from rockband and were constantly loosing timing, didn't know the first thing on how to use the highhat properly. My nephew and his best friend.. it was rather funny.
However they did learn some basics from it such as a skill many have terrible trouble, learning timing and to teach how to make their appendages do different things at once. They were able to learn some very basic beats right off the bat, but anything with an ounce of difficulty they could not do what so ever.
Still with rockband their only experience they could learn to actually play the drums significantly easier then someone who had never played an instrument in their lives. (Which, coincidentially, are often the same folks who think drumming is the easiest thing in the world.)
The Slayer track in Guitar Hero looks really hard
>> ^LadyDeath:
That is what I call a future "Metal Band", I can see their expressions, even the dog is metal hell yeah!
Thats a possibility. Though if they are like most Guitar Hero/Rock Band players, not a one of them has the first clue how to play ACTUAL INSTRUMENTS. So no.. they will never be a real metal band if the above is true.
Though the double petals are pretty cool. Still I'd stick with my own 9 piece Tama set any day. Playing real drums is a hell of a lot of fun then tapping on plastic pads along to someone elses music.
Do Schools Destroy Creativity? - Ken Robinson
Isn't it a *bit* unfair to blame the school for not being able to pick up on Paul McCartney's musical talent as a kid in a class of roundabout 30 students, in a subject that's not meant to foster child prodigys but to get everyone to get a feel for music and to stimulate their artistic sides by playing instruments, sing and create sounds? Seriously, this talker seems to believe that the arts class should be some sort of talent show for youngsters.
If McCartney hadn't gone to those classes, he might never have had the inclination to play in a band. Who can say for certain what made him go into music? I can tell you this though, the school bloody well didn't supress or ignore him by "not spotting anything".
That music teacher, who "had half the Beatles in his class", most likely had well over a hundred students a year. He/she would have had a strict curriculum stating that all the children would have to preform certain things before each school year was out, like for instance sing a song and play an instrument etc. That's what the music class is for, not spot the most musically gifted students and make popstars of them! And let's not overlook that neither McCartney nor Harrison at that time might've had their musical talent developed to any degree at all.
No, from my perspective it seems as if this talker needs to bring his expectations of teachers to the reality-based world and maybe try teaching gradeschool himself, or just stop talking to think for a second, before creating impossible demands like that.
Fleet Foxes - 'He Doesn't Know Why'
i don't know whether mykonos has been sifted, but that's my favorite song of theirs. both releases are great music for sure, and the jacket liner notes are neat too. i think one phrase is "we all played some instruments to make these sounds" heh.
i'll check after i finish listening
edit: couldn't find it on the sift so i added it here:

7-year-old sings Piano Man by Billy Joel
Jesus I want to adopt this kid! Reminds me of myself at his age *sniff*
My first favorite song I memorized and sang was called "Bawi Sum" (rock island). It's a real oldie, which even my parents thought was 'old'. And I was 8 at the time.

But this kid has me beat. He's already playing an instrument!!!!!
Christopher Hitchens is Waterboarded
^no, a better rule is to criticise him only within the boundaries of your own experience and research. but always criticise. and always experience. and always research.
otherwise what, you only get a vote if you've been president before? You can only dislike music played on instruments you know how to play?
Jethro Tull - "Locomotive Breath" live, 1978
*throws his bra at the stage* Seriously good stuff. And hooray for the days when musicians actually played their instruments and sang without the aid of pitch lockers.
Daxophone (short demonstration) - by inventor Hans Reichel
Another demonstration where a daxophone enthusiast shows differently carved wooden tongues for the daxophone and a both smooth and fretted oblong piece of wood used to play the instrument:
