This is the actual footage I filmed while recording this song with Tigran and Evan in the studio at UCLA on September 23rd 2019
The song is called Levitation 21
You can find more about the album here : www.nonesuch.c...
or the single here smarturl.it/Th...
Note on the video (for full transparency) : As I remember, I recorded 2 full takes on that song and we ended up mixing and matching the 2 takes for each section of the song (thus the funny cuts and edits). On top of that, I think I recorded overdubs for a few sections and forgot to film them (my bad). So there are 1-2 moments that look weird since they are the wrong take. Tigran also decided to Mute the drums all together during parts of the rubato section and chopped the song short at the end.
Big thanks to Meinl Cymbals and Sticks, Gretsch Drums (and Mark Guiliana for lending me his kick drum), Aquarian Heads
Thanks Noise Engineering for the T-Shirt :)

I hadn't heard of Tigran or Arthur until a year ago. They are both now among my top musicians of all time. I'm infinitely grateful for how their music pushes the limits of any seasoned player.

@eliasappenzeller785 3 жыл бұрын

@Google Sucks I actually found Arthur through MG videos lolol. In my mind they are two sides of the same coin, one having more emphasis on power and precision (Garstka) with Hnatek being a bit more jazz/improvisational oriented and generally having a lighter touch. They both have an intimate understanding of time, subdivisions and they are both god-tier in my book.

@@JeffPenaify That’s the transparency part. Some people might think this was done in one take (I wouldn’t put it past Arthur, as he is a fantastic drummer). What makes it so special is that Arthur documented the recording process and clearly shows that doing it in one take isn’t always necessary.
