Besides our old friends "the camera died", "the camera is out of focus", "microphone died", we now have a new friend "we forgot the turn on the lights". Let's see how many times we will greet this new dude lol
😭😭😭
It's that Squirtle meme LOL
That's a good one! I noticed the lights weren't on when they started but to give them their due, we're looking at them; they're not...
i was just about to say that lmaoo
As an Indian, Bollywood Violin scenes have made me want to throw myself out of the window several times --- The songs are AMAZING -- The violins : sacrilegious
but like you said, the music is phenomenal. almost makes up for the sacrilegious playing of the violin 😂😂
Like in Mohabbatein, when Shah Rukh Khan plays it :) or in Main Hoon Na :D
But yeah, songs are epic :)
Kuch kuch hota hai really needed a violinist on their team
Most songs in Bollywood are copypaste garbage
TRUE DAT!
Bro, imagine if an actual movie production hired two set violin that would be so 😎
Ikr!
Wanna do an indie film about violinists going undercover as pianists? Lol.
EPIC
I can see this happening in a year or so, like fr
Yes
I always feel so bad for not practicing while watching TwoSet videos. Then I remember that I don't play any instruments.
You should feel bad. You’re missing out on the agony of getting it wrong and the ecstasy of getting it right.
@@gatesurfer I have played piano, guitar and erhu and sang in a choir previously. Now I only fail and succeed in sewing lol
@@gatesurfer I’m learning to play the guitar and I’m stuck on the agony of getting it wrong. I hope the ecstasy comes soon 😂😂😂😅
OH lol. That comment is really funny. Thanks Kaisasha😄
I've been dere buddy

Seeing you try to break the triangle hurts every triangle player's soul
they are just "experimenting"
HOLY SHIT hello
damn all three of them?
In their defence I don't think they were trying
Yeah...imagine if there was a violin in its place...
I was so sad to hear how long Eddy's mom was doubtful about twoset's vision and achievements (or maybe even about his decision to become a musician, if this kept going for eight years up until their first world tour?) Just think about how much determination you would need to do what they did. And Eddy did it all while his parent doubted him. Imagine how much brett's support and their shared vision must have meant to him. I mean they pulled off a youtube channel without funding, they slept on the streets and busked all day long to get crowdfunding for their first tour. They have been working their asses off all these years. Both of them have put in so many endless hours of practice, filming, editing, planning, logistics, and all the stuff that we don't even know about. Imagine doing all that without a supportive parent while still being quite young (and didn't they say in another video that none of their friends thought twoset was a good idea?). It seems that it was the two of them who supported each other and their vision, and only the two of them. I have maximum respect for what they did. And I don't even know if they give themselves enough credit. Please celebrate with bubble tea 40 hours every day.🎆
This is all true. But I also think they were having a really good time doing it.
As for defying their parents, well, bottom line, parents want their kids to be happy and safe. Even Asian parents. (I'm Asian and followed a fairly unconventional career path myself.)
And the other thing is, they want to be able to BRAG about their kids, which is an automatic if your kid becomes a doctor, but more difficult if you're just launching a UA-cam channel. But I can hear Eddy's mom now: "My son, so popular, la. Got 3 million subscribers, la. On magazine cover, la. Almost like top fashion designer, with apparel line, la. He know so many famous peopoe, la, and so many famous peopoe want know him, la."
@@gatesurfer 😂 thanks for the laughs and your perspective! adding to what you said, i guess youtube is just a pretty new type of career as well. most parents did not grow up with yt, and i guess it's hard for any parent of eddy's mum's age group, of any culture, to associate or measure success with something that is probably quite unfamiliar and not tangible to them. so the concert posters helped for sure. still, what an accomplishment 👍
Look there's a lot worse things in life than a parent disagreeing with your life path. There's horrible, horrible parents out there who fuck up their kids in so many ways, it's just good to have some perspective. I'm all for empathy and yes lots of situations are tough but this one definitely isn't the end of the world.
The pitch of the triangle depends on its length and technically heating and cooling it will change its length, although not by very much. The only way to really change the pitch is to sand it down or cut it.
Or add some weight to the triangle, e.g., solder or duct tape, to reduce the frequency, I e., lower the pitch. Cutting off some of the end will raise the pitch.
Went looking for this comment. It's like altering the effective string length with fingering to change pitch on an instrument like, say, the violin.
It also depends on its mass and stiffness. Temperature affects the modulus of elasticity. Steel becomes more "floppy" at high temperatures. As a result, its pitch should decrease (a tiny bit).
That effect goes in the same direction as thermal expansion; expansion has an even smaller effect.
@@runrig97 Maybe magnets could be used to change the pitch quickly.
I certainly did not expect The Spanish Inquisition on this channel
As an actor (and singer as well) I really appreciate your comments about the importance of interpretation. The things that I hear people say are "how do you memorize all of those lines" as if memorization was it takes to act. Believe me, memorization is the easiest and least important part of acting or singing.
Same for playing music. Memorizing your part can be pretty simple. Playing the part is more difficult.
Yes! People really seem to think that remembering lines is the difficult part of acting... Even as an amateur actor. I once complained that I had no idea what I was doing on stage and the others in my theatre group were like "Oh, you're good though, you remember all your lines!". I'm like "thanks, I'm very good at holding a pencil as well. Does that make me an artist?"
Although I once went to a theatre show where the script was so weird and incoherent that I told the lead actor afterwards "I know this is usually a stupid 'compliment' to professional actors, but I applaud you for leaning those lines!"
You’re an actor!? That’s amazing! What films have you starred in?!?!
@@malyndahsexotics1543 There are acting venues besides film, and roles beyond the lead. A person can be an actor without ever "starring" in a film.
@@elissahunt Why are you telling me this? I said what films have you started in, if or when this person responds to me, they can literally just tell me what they’ve started in, I didn’t say it had to be a film and I NEVER said he had to have the lead role. I was genuinely just asking him what he’s starred in.
"it's better to do what you love and fail but at least you know you live life on your terms"
wise words Eddy.
You beat me to it, quoting this one...
the mandatory unwritten rule while watching most of Bollywood movies is that you keep you brain and logic in a safe deposit box and then watch the movie. 🤣🤣
The “you’re not a real musician if you only play and don’t write your own” thing hurts my brain. That’s like saying any kid who makes up a little dance of jumping and kicking is a more valid dancer than a prima ballerina who learns ballets but hasn’t written one. Truly the worst take lol
Petition for Brett and Eddy to actually make a non-sacreligious music show
Wow, Hermione is using UA-cam now.
Yes
@@MR_C0D3X hogwarts is too easy for me. Gotta study the magic of lingling
I would sign.
We need thissss!
I totally agree with what Eddy said at 6:07 (they actually addressed this many times already, they even made videos to prove how important musicality is). As a violin newbie, I normally just play notes and practice techniques and intonation. Only recently I'm going to have my first recital so my teacher started to instruct me on musicality, and I began to realize how one note can be played in so many different ways. Like you can do different types of vibrato of course, and also you can add gliss between some notes to give it more taste, you can change your bow speed to do a quick crescendo or diminuendo, etc. I'm still a newbie so there is still a lot for me to learn, but I do feel, for the first time, by myself, how to add different colors to the music.
Good luck on your recital!!
why are you on every single video
@@reallettuceforlunch2192 look at the name lol
My first reaction to the person saying "a real musician writes music" was... a robot can do that too ? I think Two Set litterally made a video reviewing a symphony movement written by an AI.
They have indeed. There's playing the notes and playing the music.
Wow, you seem to be making rapid progress and as we know, practice is the key... so you shall be confident for your recital. All the best!
As an Indian, I can confirm my brain cells actually dying when watching many Bollywood films.
If you are depressed composers, you write great music. --Brett Yang 2022
I mean he’s not wrong
Oh, when I hear people say playing classical music isn't a talent I feel it as personal offence even though I'm not a musician. As a writer it reminds me of those situations when someone say literature translation isn't a form of art. It's in the same category. You HAVE TO translate works to another language (in terms of music it is from sights to sound), express to the audience all emotions creators put in their works, make people feel what exactly someone from another country felt a lot of years ago. HOW THE FUGE THIS IS NOT A FORM OF ART AND NOT A TALENT???
As someone who is now working as a translator, I tip my hat off for this comment. Also, it really hits translators because the translation work field is really wary of machine translation lol
As a person ehi read novel written in other language like SCOG can't explain how glad I am when I see quality translation.
People really don't appreciate how translation absolutely is an artform and takes serious skill!
Saying that if you don't compose, you are not a musician is like saying that if you don't weave fabric, you're not a fashion designer. Or that if you don't manufacture paint, you are not a painter. Saying that is silly.
all the TV painters sold their own paints. Merch.
I agree it's silly, but I think it's closer to if you don't make your own clothes and if you don't make your own sketches before you paint.
hi twosetviolin,just wanted you to know that you guys are the main reason why my depression curing progress is doing so good,i used not to laugh or even have fun doing anything,but you guys have changed it all thank you soo much.
This is so nice to hear... twoset are really so comforting... my happy place
omg so nice to hear that
🥰
glad to hear that twoset has been making you feel better! Twoset really is amazingly hilarious and never fails to put a smile on my face. They just exude positive energy.
@@chopinetudeop.25no.5 thanks bro,im listening to brett's 2 mill drop of tchaikovsky atm:)
Ah yes the best violin technique, not holding the fingerboard
Berg be like
Amazing
Twosetviolin : "trying to destroy triangle"
Triangle players : "SACRILEGIOUS"
My worst fear just came true lol! TWOSET reacting to Bollywood 💀💀🤌🏼
lmfaoo. ikrr! on one hand i want them to react to it.....but nahh. it's too embarrassing 😅😅
Yeah and they reacted to the song, "Ladki badi anjani hai", starring SRK, Kajol, Farida Jalal and Johnny Lever as it showed..
@@debadritaghosh1531 can you tell me the video name please?
@@booksandmusic2526 its a song called ladki badi anjani hai from a movie called kuch kuch hota hai
I was literally listening to this song other day and thinking "man imagine if twoset watch this, they are gonna faint"😂
Looks like it came true
As an Indian,this was hilarious, assuming that the actual scenes of the violin are soooo sacrilegious that it’s hilarious, but the actual music is
*Cheffs Kiss*
literally rewatched kuch kuch hota hai the other day and wondered how i didn’t notice the violin part when i first watched it 😭😭
Twoset subtly giving hints that they’ve recently paid for a recording session that stressed them out 🤔
Is the sequel to Prelude finally coming out 🤔🤔🤔
omg i did not realise that thanks for pointing out the hints :00
My exact thoughts. We all have been waiting for so long, can't way to listen to another professional recording of them ! (Hopefully more than just one piece...) 😀
I also wonder if this has something to do with the thing in the background about which they talked in their set up intro video? 🤔
@@booksandmusic2526 yeah it’s most likely the cover of the album, Prelude’s cover was flower-themed so…
petition for Brett and Eddy to be in a Bollywood movie
I actually want them to be directors of a movie, dedicated to classical music and musicians. It would be so epic. Just imagine, it will be the most accurate music film ever
Director may be too much, but it sure would be awesome to have them as consultants/advisors on a movie or TV show.
True, I could see how how quality it would be
Someone who writes music: a composer
Someone who performs music: a musician
Works the same with the acting analogy
Someone who writes a script: a script writer
Someone who performs a role in the script: an actor
They're two different things, how do people not understand that? I really hate elitist, gatekeeping by people not even involved in the industry they're talking about.
Brett can flawlessly read a music sheet without skipping a beat but anywhere else, 83 sometimes become 87
I love Eddy's analogy. As someone who has interest in acting, i can attest that the styles in which actors bring the scripts to life varies. That's why it's amusing to watch different renditions of theatre play characters. It's similar to listening to Hilary Hahn or Ray Chen playing the same piece. Or people making their own covers/renditions of Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever. There will always be something different in their interpretation and vibe. There's authenticity in that, too.
Welp i’m from india and i have no words, really bollywood needs help
"It's a temperature thing, like, if it's super hot...put it in the freezer!"
I love you guys ❤
its adorable how excited they are about the lights
Love how we get educated even during LingLing fourty hours about how to determine the right size of the violin.
I was born in India and am ashamed of the violin acting in Bollywood. There are many great Indian songs, traditional and even modern Bollywood has some good songs but the violin acting is downright sacrilegious 😂😅 by the way, love the new set up two set!
Same here..
I think I'm the only person who was born in India, and also lives in India, and is also passionate about Western classical music.. Other all Indians which love western classical music are raised in abroad or moved abroad...
@@sarkarpianist5540 its hard to find someone who would even listen to western classical music while sitting with you without calling you weird amd boring.
@@sarkarpianist5540 I'm a lover of western classical haha. Though I live in America now...
Same
As someone majoring in music composition, I have SOOOO much love and respect for performers. There is so much technicality involved in performing. The amount of ways you can interpret and play just one note or set of notes is insane. There’s so much time and work put into the most subtle changes. Performers are such an important part of what makes music great! Anyone who thinks that performers aren’t real artists has no idea WTF they’re talking about. 😤
to tune the triangle youd have to file off some metal from it decreasing its mass and making the pitch higher, to make it lower you would have to add more mass to it like welding on a bit of metal
You can tune triangle by cutting off the ends, making the rod thinner or drilling holes. Before a triangle gets into a shape, they would make sure the rod plays a certain pitch (there are triangles for each pitch), if it’s too flat, they can trim the ends, if it’s too sharp, then they can go up to the next note with it. Then they bend it into shape.
The day TwoSet gets hired for a 10 second violin scene in a movie, i'll give up milk tea
do better, drink double what you usually drink
Nooo! You should rather be drinking 40 !
i love how they mention Benedict Cumberbatch everytime they talk about actors haha
To be nitpicking: at 7:20, these instruments are not a Tuba, they are Tenorhorns, similar to Baritones or Euphoniums.
As a percussionist, the waiting for 83 bars hit me hard lollll
waiting for half a piece and hitting the triangle once is so typical :)
seeing you guys react to more and more indian content is making me soooooooo happy (even though most of it is making me die with shame)
i would love love LOVE to see a video where you sit down and analyze carnatic music and the violin posture etc
as a carnatic musician, yessssss!!!
Waiting for the day when theyll make a video reacting to Carnatic styles of playing the violin :) It wud be so cool!
i have been wanting that forever
YESSSSSS
Actually yes.. that what i’ve been wanting too, hope they do in the future
the synchronization at 10:45 😂
4:29. POV you are Tuning The E-String😂
Lmaooooo
Me: *taking a break from studies and enjoying the video*
My brain: This is the periodic table~🎶
I don't know who makes the decision for what piece to play in the background but it's not only effective it's also accurate! The meme about the Shostakovich symphony was specifically referencing Shostakovich's 9th symphony, which started playing in the background.
This would have been in 1945, after WWII had ended and less than a year after Prokofiev's own 5th symphony, which was written at the turning point of WWII and premiered to huge critical acclaim (after Prokofiev's own difficulties with Soviet censorship, although I think Shostakovich's struggles in that area are more infamous). At that point the curse of the 9th was well known so Stalin wanted Shostakovich to write an enormous, bombastic 9th symphony like Beethoven or Mahler (or prokofiev 5) to celebrate Soviet victory and strength. Instead Shostakovich wrote.... that. You can hear in the video around 9:12 the theme from the first movement - quick, sardonic, and a little sarcastic. Then, after 8 years of NO symphonies from Shostakovich, Stalin died in 1953 and Shostakovich immediately wrote his 10th symphony, the second movement of which is supposed to be a musical depiction of Stalin. Personally I believe Shostakovich was able to evade the curse of the 9th because he transferred it to Stalin.
I don't know if you have seen any references to "Editor-san" in the comments, but they are a big reason for this channel's success. Often when one of them are describing something about a particular piece of music, it shows up, as if by magic, in the audio. This allows 2 Set to concentrate on their verbal description because they know the audience will hear a realization of what they are talking about without having to break their concentration in the moment.
Again, people project their own ignorant anti-Soviet prejudices onto Shostakovitch, and get their "facts" from faked memoirs and ridiculous speculation.
4:58 "a person who plays a musical instrument, especially as a profession, or is musically talented." That's the definition of a musician
1:34
I literally laughed for 5 minutes straight. The dumb ass producers were probably like "No need to even touch the neck it's not like the peasants watching will have even the slightest clue what a violin is" and rolled with it.
You guys are the best violin instructors :)
Ayooo slugterra
@@vedanttoke20 yes :)))
I like Eddy's crumpled shirt, like he was in panic when Brett shout "Come on Eddy we will shot in 2 minutes, and make sure you use beige color merch" then he grabed his shirt from his chair.
You guys are the best! Thanks for the laughs, tears, and music knowledge¡¡!!!
4:50 they just begining a whole scientific experiment here 😂😂
That bonus segment is such a boomer moment.
Man, I love these two boomers😂
Bollywood in title: summoning indians.....
.......... Jujutsu
As an Indian, that was SACRILIGEOUS
I can totally relate to the meme about making mistakes you never have before, because I was practicing piano today in prep for an exam I have in a couple months, and I randomly just blanked on a piece that I've been playing and practicing for almost 2 years now
"It's okay fam, I gotchu" 1:23 is just-- no words but thank you, Editor-san!
Most percussion instruments (like a triangle) have different overtones than string/piano/voice.
So you're hearing two notes because it literally is multiple notes at once! It's just normally you condense them down to a single one for comfortable timbres.
4:11 Eddy's tripping, that definitely sounds like an A, then he hums a C and says its a B
So glad I checked for a new video! I looked 2 minutes ago and was a bit sad I didn't see a new video. But hey?! A new video a minute later! :D
Loved the triangle experiment 😌 And the scroll tip! So simple, yet so useful
Regarding the light- I'm pretty sure that throughout the vid you had both the regular light in your apartment and softbox on (like at the beginning of "Guess the Violinist: Brett VS Eddy") and I must say I like it a lot. Please consider not turning off the light in the room in future videos! :>
I saw this on google and wanted to share it with you fellow twosetters!
(Not written by me)
You can Tune a triangles pitch by shortening the space on the bottom part that you strike, with electric tape. This will raise the pitch, my triangle has an unaltered pitch of B, using tape I now have one side tuned to C (blue) and the other side tuned to G. It seems the area of exposed surface (no tape) on the bottom side determines the pitch, so for G, I had to raise the pitch 5 steps, thus the tape on both sides of the bar. This is easiest to do if you can match the pitch with your voice or another instrument, a tuner won’t get it so you need a pretty good ear. So now my triangle plays in C or G depending which way I hold it. I also have tape across the outside bar only to mute the instrument a bit, as my triangle is very loud. I actually stumbled upon this this evening trying to mute my triangle and quickly discovered it changed the pitch, went to see if anyone else knew about this and it appears not, so happy to share a new discovery, happy playing out there!
You two are killing me with the lights 😂
When the triangle is the same length and the professional musicians expect the pitch to change. SMH
10:30 now leave it in the oven for 40 hours.
guys to tune a triangle you need to shave off metal for a higher pitch and add metal for a lower pitch you can also hit different spots like for example the actual beating spot in the triangle instead of the outside
ANOTHER VIDEO AHHHH LOVEE
I was really waiting for this one !
7:12 I really searched why happiness is overrated in Google yesterday 😂
Imagine if twoset made a movie showcasing all the techniques the movies get wrong
Just one movie? Really?? They’d have to leave soooo much out. Maybe in a trilogy they could cover most of the musical stuff, anyway.
Man seeing you try and bend the triangle made me feel the same level of shock as the violin bow sword fight 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Somebody needs to hire twoset for the next violin move premiere like rn
Fun fact on the topic of pitch and cold: you can actually hear the difference between hot and cold water being poured in a glass
The velocity of sound in water depends on temperature, changes by some 10% from cold to hot. That affects the resonances that occur.
Similar when stirring foam into coffee, and then letting the tiny bubbles rise. Tapping the cup will give a rising pitch.
5:14 there's an artificial intelligence that composes music and has passed the Turing Test. Experts in Bach music couldn't distinguish if a piece was made by the AI or a Bach himself
Then by that person’s logic, composers aren’t “real musicians” either because a robot could do that too lol (jk)
@@user-et2mn1tc3x exactly. It is stupid reasoning
I love the new setting!
I love that you're playing Le Nozze di Figaro in the background 🙏🏻 my all time favourite opera, I used to sing Cherubino
I love TwoSet’s content never failing to be sacrilegious
y'all are the best instructors! you should teach people. :)
super well-said on what TRUE musicians are!! it's ALSO about their performances/interpretations!
Hi Twoset, you guys are my faves
wow. That little Sikh boy must be a wizard and his bow is like the magic wand because he can play a beautiful tune without his fingers even touching the strings 😂😅
At 5:00: "you're not a real musician. A robot could do that." Well, robots write music these days, so now what????
The acting analogy was so clever!
You guys are so silly, I just love it so much! Thanks for all your hard work and enthusiasm!
Guess who forgot to turn on the lights again?
jokes aside, Thank you guys for working so hard to feed us -linglingwannabes- with great quality content!
1:05 the saxophone in an orchestra
who also plays the transposed French horn part with incorrect notes because there are no french horns
Its me watching ur videos after 8 monthssss and im so happy to finally get the time to watch ur channel. Like im happy uk anyways.Good to see u guys with a new setup
The new setup is still really cool, with or without the lights on
Five seconds in and my reaction was 'oh they forgot to turn on those LED things again' so I was like 'yay finally' at the end of the vid😂
P. S. Didn't expect to see a new vid so soon! love you guys
I love ur vidss twoset!!
HAHA IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
that thing about musical talent!
Not a classical musician, mote into the jazz realm but i can relate to the recording meme. Actually for me , it sounds amazing when i practice what I have to record, perfect tone, the groove is there, might add some tasty stuff that i didn't plan. Press record, poop sound, out of time, bass goes out of tune instantly (if it ever was in tune :p )
Off topic but I love how Eddy is wearing the shirt from their tour and I’m using mine too 🤣
please come to india twoset, it'd be an honour to breath in the same nation-air as you
I love these guys!!!
TwoSet should be hired by the film industry lol
1:40 Bro's not even touching the fingerboard wtf
love the background upgrade
I WASSS WAITINGG FOORRRR THISSS
