My expression watching the whole video 😆

Thanks Fred, we had a blast making these, so glad you enjoy them!

In his Downbeat Blindfold Test, Julian says he and Mary used to be neighbors.

😱 🤪 🤪 😱. 🤣

We always say our latest is our greatest, so the 2021 or later LCD-X is the one to get.

@@AudezeHQ So, if I bought the older LCD-X model for the 1700$, I should put up with them and my stupidity?

Really, that pitch pedal is genius?

Nope

@@leoosiku Which one of them won a MacArthur Fellowship? Trying to remember.

@@bevinroue5788 That comment might be everything that is wrong in music and other endeavors.

You're definitely projecting your own feelings onto Julian. a) He and Mary are old friends and he's expressed great admiration for her playing, and b) Julian has become a fixture in the New York avant garde scene himself in recent years (check the number of albums he's recorded with John Zorn). On that topic, he said, "[There's a sense in academia that you have to earn the right to play free]...Playing with Yoko, or Zorn or Nels, it's kind of like ‘forget that, we’re freer than we realize!’ I love it, I feel increasingly drawn to it, increasingly like I want to be part of the community, and contribute, and write, and take some more chances. I feel extremely privileged to be in the neighborhood of these people and to get to work with them.” "No one could talk about the music they just played"? What's to talk about? The playing IS the conversation. As that old chestnut goes, "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture." The smile on Julian's face throughout the video says all that needs to be said for his feelings about this improv.

i hope so

This is what the diametrical opposite of communism sounds like

@@westerbeck8229 🤢

@@jthiessen4157 aahhh... are you sure? 🧐

so funny! that sounds nothing like communism. It's on the the different pole than communism. Check the meanings.

Julian's intro was very nice, I don't mind his more chaotic and free stuff because he always applies his impeccable technique to it, which makes it far more impressive and palatable. Mary is a good player, but seldom shows it and relies way too heavily on the pitch effect, which is just obnoxious. Look at Julian's face at 1:24 and tell me he's not thinking "What the fuck am I even listening to? How did this person get an $800k grant from the MacArthur Foundation?" lmao

I’m just glad Julian decided to become the rhythm section at around 4:17 in the vid :)

lol yea when he was like "lets do a blues" i was not expecting this avant garde music haha

@@crosbycofod5052 They managed to strip all the blues out of it, that's for sure.

Or, ya know, it’s three musicians messing around on a gear channel and having some fun. And it’s not really sad at all.
