The Saddest Instrument of All Time David Bruce Composer 2021-12-07 | Musical instruments come in all shapes and sizes, but which is the saddest? This is the first in a 3 part series, which started when I was listening to a piece I felt was 'the saddest concerto of all time. Part 1 here looks at which instruments are saddest, part 2 looks at the concerto and why it's not particularly well suited to sadness, and part 3 will introduce the piece that started this journey off - the saddest concerto of all time.

The Musical Wizardry behind the Jazz Turnaround David Bruce Composer 2021-04-12 | I take a look at a technique used in all kinds of music, from jazz turnaround, to Indian classical music, to Beethoven Sonatas.

The sonata featured in the opening is Beethoven's Opus 49 No.2, with a beat stolen from Jacob Collier :-) Check out June Lee's fantastic video on 'Harmonic Arrival' which inspired me to start thinking about this whole topic: youtube.com/watch?v=Fji493S90go Support the Channel on Patreon:patreon.com/davidbruce Dorian will get a new bird seed bowl if we hit 600 Patreon supporters ;-)Buy Merch! teespring.com/en-GB/stores/david-bruce-composerFollow me on Twitter:twitter.com/davidbruceFollow me on Instagram:instagram.com/davidbrucecomposerDavid Bruce Composer Spotify Playlist:tinyurl.com/y798swcyMy 2nd YouTube Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCHjcEVdMjIOOlVhtTRq4sDwMark Ronson - I Can't Lose ft.

How Jonny saved the Ondes Martenot David Bruce Composer 2021-01-29 | In this video I tell the fascinating story of Jonny Greenwood's relationship with the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument most famously used in Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie. After its creator's death it was in danger of disappearing, but the spotlight Jonny shone on it have helped completely reverse its fortunes.

How Ravel Writes for Orchestra David Bruce Composer 2020-11-02 | Maurice Ravel is one of the masters of orchestration, and in this video I look at his 'Alborada del Gracioso' which started life as a piano piece, but was then orchestrated by Ravel 15 years later.

The Map of Music David Bruce Composer 2020-09-09 | Have you ever thought about all the different ways people make music, or the reasons they have for doing it?

The M.C.Escher of Music? David Bruce Composer 2020-07-14 | Who is the master of musical illusions? The Music equivalent of M.C.Escher? Escher himself would probably say J.S.Bach but in this video I make the case for Hungarian composer György Ligeti, whose work is full of Musical Illusions. In this video I look at the following musical illusions:03:36 The Infinite Loop Illusion (The Shepard Tone)06:37 The Risset Tone07:31 Multiple Speeds illusion09:20 The Imaginary Melody Illusion11:22 The Negative Space Illusion12.54 Frozen Time Illusion15:15 Fractal Spiral IllusionFinally I question why there is a difference in reception - Ligeti highly respected in the music establishment, but less well known to the general public, whereas Escher is hugely popular with the public and somewhat looked down on by the establishment.

Electronic Music for ORCHESTRA David Bruce Composer 2020-03-09 | What would a piece of electronic music sound like on an orchestra? Or a piece of orchestral music sound like on electronic instruments? I collaborate with Jeremy Blake from the channel Red Means Recording and we swap roles. In this video I take his electronic track 'Aquamarine' and create an orchestral version of it which we hear performed by the fabulous Orchestra of the Swan conducted by Jason Lai. The video compares the two versions side by side and we hear Jeremy's reaction. Meanwhile, over on his channel, Jeremy takes my orchestral piece Fanfarrón and makes an electronic version of it. ⦿ Support the Channel on Patreon⦿patreon.com/davidbruce⦿ Follow me on Twitter⦿twitter.com/davidbruce⦿ Follow me on Instagram⦿instagram.com/davidbrucecomposer⦿David Bruce Composer Spotify Playlist⦿tinyurl.com/y798swcy⦿My 2nd YouTube Channel⦿youtube.com/channel/UCHjcEVdMjIOOlVhtTRq4sDw____________________________________Hear the original version of both pieces:Jeremy Blake: Aquamarine (original version) soundvision.bandcamp.com/track/aquamarineFanfarrón - David Bruce (original orchestral version)youtube.com/watch?v=YwawS6f-m40Jeremy's video making his version of Fanfarrón youtu.be/Z0qLpl3VF5Yand here's the original video where Jeremy created Aquamarine youtube.com/watch?v=-8sMk5KeWvgJeremy's channel:youtube.com/user/jjbbllkkMy reaction video to Jeremy's version of Fanfarrón youtube.com/watch?v=k908JMLq4oIAnd if you want to watch just the finished arrangement by itself: youtube.com/watch?v=uuSvosav0sUHUGE THANK YOU TO: ORCHESTRA OF THE SWAN orchestraoftheswan.orgJason Lai (Conductor) jason-lai.netPaolo Pezzangora (OOTS)Clave Flatau (camerawork)Eleanor Turner (harp) eleanorturner.com#collaboration #redmeansrecording #aquamarine
