I love what she said about a single note containing a whole microcosmos. I think it’s true, and it’s why some of us can listen to an hour long drone piece and not get bored.

"you only need one note" this is my entire career. every song i make is based on this fundamental principle. i like to make a composition on a single fraction of a second sound and then modify it into a pallette of sounds and start from there.

Oh I didn't know about this series by Björk and BBC, but stumbled upon it now, suggested by the KZfaq recommender algorithm. Nice, I've always loved minimal music a lot, and Mika Vainio and his project Panasonic have been an inspiration to me. Funny, I lived in Barcelona for a while (I'm from Finland, like Mika too), and accidentally walked to a little showroom/record store at a block party I stumbled upon, where Mika was playing a gig with Jimi Tenor. From Barcelona I also bough one of Ø's records (Ø is also Mika's project) called Metri. Thanks for posting this. Keep it simple folks, and appreciate the nuances :)

For me, Björk is the greatest musician of all times because her work is a perfect balance of complexity and simplicity. That's why her songs can sound primitive and modern at the same time. What a fucking genius!

1:54 "I think the thing about the instrument that fascinates me is the fact that the vibrations are set up directly by the player's touch. I can't think of any other instrument where that happens." Bear with me, but I'm going to hit you with a few obscure ones here: classical guitar, banjo, ukulele, double bass, anything you can play pizzicato...

@duncanmarshall2742 2 жыл бұрын

He means “stroke” or contact, I think. So not quite as naive as your comment suggests.

@totallynottrademarked5279 Жыл бұрын

none of those are directed by your touch. Your touch is used to generate a reaction between two differing materials. Like a string under tension vibrating the box it is attached to. Once your finger is no longer present is when the sound interaction happens. Not when your finger is on the string. I know its really a semantics game but without your plucking finger your bridge fingers dont matter. No sound will be generated from you simply holding down a G chord but never strumming. You can initiate that pluck with your bridge fingers but again if you put your fingers on the string it will no longer transmit sound. As in all string instruments your bridge fingers are doing nothing more than changing the lenght of the string but the string itself is what is creating the sound.

@BPandTyler What he meant is that as long as you keep moving your fingers it won't stop. If you blow an instrument (e.g. woodwinds) you'll run out breath in less than a minute. When you play strings the bow is quite short so you can't just go on with it and if you pluck it will sound for an even shorter amount of time. Pretty much the same thing with percussions, you "hit" them and it goes down from there. But with this glasses you can go on and on and on and on...

2:00 the guitar, played without a pick, is an example of an instrument played by creating vibrations directly with your finger. a Fretless bass would be the best example other than wineglasses, id guess

@renatoloureiro9103 4 жыл бұрын

I believe this is not what he meant. What he means is that with the glass harmonica, the sound comes directly from your fingers, without any kind of accoustic box or amplifier. In addition, when you pluck a guitar string, you start a reaction that makes the string vibrate and the string creates the sound, whereas with the glass harmonica the vibration is generated by your own fingers, that work as a violin bow.

Traduction française (approximative ^^) : Minimalistes modernes avec Björk Ces derniers siècles, dans la musique européenne, les gens se sont dirigés très lentement mais très sûrement vers la complexité et l'ingéniosité. Et à la fin, à mon avis, ils créaient de la musique comme de la nourriture pour pensées, pour le cerveau. Puis au milieu de ce siècle, depuis des angles totalement opposés, de la musique pop ou musique folk, peu importe comment vous décidez de l'appeler,

@tHoM0r 14 жыл бұрын

Yes, but the fretting hand has complete control of the pitch (by fretting and by using bends) and the tone of the sound (using vibrato, picking at different sections along the string) which all correspond to different vibrational modes. I remember David Dilmour saying thats why he likes guitar so much, it's very connected to the body Thats what i mean by what i said. But sure, technically i suppose the infinite vibration caused by the glasses is different in a way :)
