when Colin Stetson starts rocking back and forth, you know shit's about to get wild

I can't fathom the literal thousands of hours of practice it took to refine this sound.

Imagine passing the bong to Colin and he starts rocking back and forth...

Please, please, if you have a chance to see Colin live - do it, I guarantee that what you pay for will seem like nothing compared to what you experience. Tonight at the Union Chapel I caught him saying something along the lines of 'I wish you could feel what I'm feeling' - with a mixture of exasperation and elation, a warning as much as an insight into the kind of absolute focus I can only imagine he must have trained himself to be in to perform these pieces. Take away the great playing, the miasma of sonic textures he's able to bring, and then keep in mind that he's having to simultaneously sing, and use the instrument itself as percussion, while maintaining a circular breathing rhythm for ungodly amounts of time - that prolonged tension in his whole body, being released in the playing itself, must be some kind of transcendental experience for him as a musician - to reach that point where you're on the horizon of what your very body is capable of doing, but it's the tension in this horizon that keeps you in the moment - this is the feeling I imagine Colin was referring to. As, daresay, orgasmic it is to experience this live, as mind fuckery exploding as it is, I can only imagine what he's feeling in these prolonged periods of absolute focus.

мне не передать словами насколько трепетные эмоции вызывает у меня эта музыка...при прослушивании во мне бушует буря... нет, целый ураган разнообразных противоречивых эмоций. под эту мелодию можно успокоиться, затем сразу же начать биться в истерике, потом нервно закурить, а в конце начать танцевать гопак. честно, это просто шедевр.. импульсивный, необычный, хаотичный, но шедевр

Господи, как же это прекрасно. Спасибо Вам, Колин! Хоть Вы это, конечно, и не увидите, но спасибо. Это не описать никакими словами, эта музыка резонирует извне.

there is a criminal shame we can witness here, in the thousand views that this has. colin stetson walks among us.

00:52 Spindrift 12:23 Judges

This is literally the music of biblically accurate angels. Colin Stetson is a genius.

I don't understand how someone can play saxophone like this. I played for some years.

Absolutely sensational.

Circular breathing is a special kind of meditation

The best music for speed up video with cats

12:26 this version of Judges reminds me of "the high council will decide your fate" meme

I keep holding my breath expecting him to pass out at any moment

the presence of god

That slow version of Judges is insane

that circular breath tho

this is so moving

I'm anticipating Uzumaki anime, and enjoying by listening to this music.

this is aboslutely amazing

Thank you.

Я очень жалею что живу не в Москве :')

Really wish there was a setlist

Some special spiritual adventure

I would hate to be the set after Stetson’s performance lmao 😂

Absolutely beautiful and horribly disgusting (in the best way possible) 👏👏👏

Was he in Moscow? Damn, I had to be there.

Colin : _ are you ready to be scared shitless ? Audience : _ Yeaaaaaah Colin : no you're not

Is this the real life?

jesus

Давай!

after Life feeling DMT 😵‍💫💚♥️

Does he need to breath? If yes, when? Cause I don't get how he does to create so many layers of sounds without a single feeling of break.

Makes me wanna say this but ... Idk man but, have you think of any your own actions? Does someone still remember the day you did that action infront of him without your knowing? Do you realize someone knows about your actions without you knowing whos them? Whos who? Whos us? Who am i? Who are you? Is the people watching you real? What if it just an imaginary thoughts that the brain process because in real time. You weren't even there. You never knew those guys. Who are the real you?? Which are you choosing? Which has the truth and have the false? Every choice has a consequences right? Do you know the consequences? No, no one does. Everything became so real you thought you are there. Infact. You're stuck here. In a imaginary place where you brain creates whatever he likes. You see square. We see triangle. Your perspective on what is infront of you is different. Everyone does aswell. Well. Which is the truth? We never knew. Who hide the secret? Government? The world? Time? Time will eventually stops. But everything that stop is also a start right? No. Not everything have a second chance. If you die. Whether you reborn as a normal human, or stuck. In a maze of darkness and emptiness surrounding you. Surrounding you life. Was it the worth of living? Is living actually worth it. You gain everything but it all fades away when u die. What the better option? Theres no better. You feel the world is full of pain because you thought the world is pain. Escape from what you scared of. Everything is a lie, even myself. But. Does it worth to die? Its your own life to decide whether is true or false. Don't let someone control over you. Try not to get too much hope for 1 human being. Once that hope broke. You'll be dead inside knowing you just got broken hope by someone you never actually knew. But eh' everyone deserves to be happy :33💕💕
