works like an Oboe or any other double reed instrument.

here is how to make one, but you need a lot of practice to play as beautifully as the artist did...

This is very cool.
My only concern is that audio in this video has perfect stereo separation. It is virtually impossible to achieve this w/o recording each instrument separately and then mixing it later. That makes me suspect that what we hear is not what we see.

so because williams uses an orchestra with a triumphant trumpet here or there it's ripping-off anyone else who has composed something using similar instrumentation? Shows a complete lack of understanding about music and how chord progressions are built...

But season's passes are BS, I'll give you that:)

Hmmm. Should the microphone really be at her mouth rather than near the exit of the instrument?

His name is Josh Clark and he was inspired by the Blue Man Group. He's a busker. Some buskers are homeless, some not, and some start out homeless and then get record deals and worldwide acclaim -- like Moondog.

Moondog looked like a wizard viking and once conducted the Brooklyn Philharmonic. He invented the instrument known as the trimba.

@lawdeelaw, I think if the polygraph is used in criminal investigations (and no one seems to be disputing that it is), then it is important to tell people that it's fake.

Also, fun fact: One of the guys who was instrumental in creating the polygraph also created the character of Wonder Woman (hence her "lasso of truth").

I fully agree. It's a good rendition and does the original song justice but the voice is just too autotuned for my tastes. And the whole arrangement is too... pretty. There's no 'live' feeling to it. It's just his voice and a bunch of perfect instrumentals. Like he's singing to a midi track or something.

Edit: part of what bugs me about autotuning voices is that they're actually tuned to the wrong notes, ie. equal temperament instead of the just temperament a good singer sings naturally. There's the whole bit about voice ability but if they just tuned it to the right notes I'd be happy... or at least happier...

On your comment:

The CIA's role in the 1953 Iran ouster is generally exaggerated. Several things - (1) by 1953, the Islamic clergy supported Mossadeq's ouster, something they have been suppressing ever since in inflating their anti-US stance (2) by the time of his ouster he also lacked the support of either his parliament or the people, (3) prior to it that year, he deposed his disapproving parliament with a clearly fraudulent 99% of the vote in a national referendum, (4) strictly speaking Iran was still a monarchy and the shah deposed his PM legally under the constitution, something that Mossadeq refused to abide by.

Did the UK put economic pressure on Iran when it threatened to nationalize its oil and usurp its remnants of imperialism? Sure. Did the UK then convince Eisenhower to mount a political and propaganda campaign against Mossadeq? Sure. Was that instrumental in fomenting a popular uprising of the parliament, the clergy and large portions of the 20m general population against him? Probably not.

Also I listened to it. Really, it's a meandering, probably scripted (the parts where he feigns surprise at the questioning is particularly humorous) that tries to generalize US actions, some of which were obviously harmful and support his argument. Putting Stalin in a positive light relative to the willingness of the US to use the bomb is, amusing? I'm not sure what to call it.

That the US needs a common threat to unite against holds some grains of truth in the present day but is really part of a wider narrative by Putin to construct the US as imperalist and domineering when by all accounts since the end of the Cold War, excluding GWB's term, it has been pulling back. It hardly needed to invent Iran's covert nuclear ambitions in the early 2000s, NK's saber rattling or China's stakes on the South China Sea islands.

Modern US foreign policy largely relies on reciprocation. The US provides a military alliance and counterweight to China's military for small SE Asian nations at a hefty cost to itself, and presumably gets various trade concession and voting support in various international agencies. The key word being reciprocation, something that Russia could learn a fair bit from in its own foreign policy.

Damn right. The perverting of the benefit system in the UK into an inquisitorial instrument to demean and punish the poorest members of society, to the degree that it routinely denies their only meagre source of income for months at a time and on the slightest pretext, is a national disgrace. It speaks of a total, sadistic contempt on the part of our nation's elite for the vulnerable; in many case those who its own practices have impoverished.

This is the mentality of the bully. The barbarian lust to brutalise anyone who falls into your power, and all the while tell them that your abuse is better than they deserve.

Oh man, the uileann pipes are a beautiful instrument but they are ridiculously difficult to play. It's like trying to arm wrestle an octopus. It takes years to get good at them, that kid must have started as a foetus!

This was great. Always looking for bands like this. May I recommend listening to Pelican? Similar, a bit less 'heavy', a bit more prog, but along the same vein of instrumentalism.

man you would get meat up at school if that was your instrument

Cool sift. It's fascinating to see what can be done with a simple instrument configuration to make such different instruments and sounds.

Always good to see people who are genuinely interested in their subject, I think that comes across well in the video. The army guys are obviously enjoying playing with the new toys
