Being part of this video is one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me.
Wow! And you were one of the coolest things in the video Ben! Such a joy to have you be part of it.
Bravo to all involved! But then, Ben, I have to ask - what was happening off screen that seemingly distracted you all the time? Was there, perhaps, a giant cat?
And you had to keep it from... l i c c ing itself?
sorry.
You cool Ben!
"Super expressive - you're the diva" LOVED that!
Ben, you're awesome!
Also, pimp isn't a compliment, at least not where I come from lol
this was an absolutely amazing experience! Thanks David!
😊 hello Adam
Thanks Adam. I think you were joint first place for laugh-out-louds with Tantacrul!
Friccen thicc licc m8
So, when's the vid on jazz accordion coming out, hmm?
never been more proud to be a patreon supporter than after I heard your work. brilliant.
I like how Ben was like "My instinct is to be ironic, but I decided to take this one seriously and disguise it"
Then immediately after, Tantacrul was like "My instinct is to disguise this, but I decided to have fun with this one and be ironic."
"I've been drowning in irony lately. My whole sense of humor has become basically just lying."
dude... i felt that
me too. specially coming from Ben. he always sounds sincere in his work. he's very funny, and often sarcastic, but also is always creating and expressing beauty in a very sincere way. this comment made me realize cynicism is ok sometimes. it's a valid defense mechanism and we can work around it if it's getting in our way. if the less cynical guy in the world feels bad about it sometimes, i can too LOL
@@LulaRMunizI was just about to type up that exact same line. I laughed really hard at that, had to pause the video.
well obviously i love this, great job everyone!!
It's happening. They are all here OMG
Yay andrew! Thanks for the inspiration!
I would have loved Andrew in this. Great change from "take the weirdest sound sources" to "now let's explore the traditional gizmos" and then maybe giving the players an extra day off, "this glissando is impossible, I will kill you".
Same goes other way round: Have classical musicians work with a fistful of samples and hear them freaking out with joy, "I dithered this down to 4 bits and this is heaven! Now how about 2 seconds reverse reverb, yaaaa!"
🧸👌🏻💕🎹
Bless up Andrew and David. Both of you inspiring everyone around! Both amazing. Them videos they're just great!
Wait what no we could barely handle 5 composers now we have another one you guys are going to create a music youtuber singularity if you don't stop
This was a joy and thrill to be a part of!! Thank you for including me David 😊 Bravo to everyone involved.
Thanks Nahre! It was so great to have you be part of this.
Hey @Nahre Sol could you recommend some piano pieces with a similar mood to what you were playing? I really enjoyed the lighter twinkly aspect, and I'm used to hearing it in other instrumnets. Would be great to hear some piano!
Your playing is beautiful! What made you decide to add your own performance to the arrangement?
At first I thought inserting piano was kind of cheating, but after going over the rules/conditions I wish there'd been kettledrums as well.
Your pice was my fav! Felt like your piece could go on forever! Aw esome sound world you have, thank you!
He really made Adam compose music around the lick. Literally the most qualified man alive for the job
haha exactly
David Bruce.. what can I say..
My review:
Adam Neely: a moist slap/10
Ben Levin: a moral heartbreak /10
Tentacrul: a gourmet cheese platter /10
Nahre Sol: a gently glistening but deep ocean /10
David Bruce: a granite carving /10
You absolutely nailed it all.
Your visual art prowess seams to allow you to reduce anything to a mere mental picturesque event!
I love your art by the way! I'm jealous of your painting ability. Because I have yet to put in the practice time.
Please paint more, I checked out your channel and subscribed!

"My whole sense of humour has become basically lying."
I can relate my friend.
wait, this is a joke, so it's a lie, but that means it wasn't a joke because it was a lie because it a joke so
@@squelchedotter Is this another one of those this sentence is false situations
Being that there is always someone or something that is the brunt of a joke, it's hard for someone with any sense of compassion to not lean towards jokes that are a lie. That there is a brunt to a joke, and that we feel compelled then to make up jokes that didn't actually happen, are both intrinsic to our growth as humans. Just like mistakes, and corrections are super important to us.
Irony isn't lying - it's just telling the truth, at a slant.
@bighugejake Ugh, the burden of my existence. You've nailed it.
Everyone in this video: "Oooh, I'm going to steal that."
Ah, Musicians!
it's a bit like coding in that sense. Its one way to learn and add to your repertoire
*artists in general
Good artists borrow, great artists steal
Same for designers and illustrators. It's part of the fun.
Reads this comment: "Ahhh, I'm going to steal that."
Shit, I'm a bloody musician!
Adam Neely's composition makes me wanna go on an adventure and save a princess or something.
EpicBlur SJC I was thinking Adams sounded like a video game thing.
Nobody Watching Adam’s really gave me Breath of the Wild vibes.
It’s very zelda-esque
Medieval theme
its like a jungle/forest boss from zelda
Tantacrul's is the theme to an artist trying to cope with the stress of the fact that coming up with something original is impossible
adam hears the licc in an odd time signature: *starts aggressively hitting his thigh*
search up playing the licc for five hours straight... he’s coping from ptsd
oyonggo fomocci one like = one prayer
being an obvious asshat - he is trying to figure out the time signature

This is the pinnacle of Music UA-cam.
Have Rick Beato or 12Tone do a video analyzing these in detail and we can all go home.
Please!
Why not both.... In a collab?
or sideways!!!
The ultimate circle jerk.
It really was the pinnacle, a class apart.
5:15 - Adam Neely: the licc, but vaguely balkan, or maybe celtic, idk
9:18 - Ben Levin: Memes Underneath Our Pleading Feet

18:15 - Nahre Sol: 4 Composers Piece
21:59 - David Bruce: Elise’s 5th Little Overture
There are five kinds of composers...
She meant that 4 composers created the 5 motifs, double up by Beethoven in fur Elise and symphony 5
Ben takes the price!
THANK YOU!
I loved the “Super Expressive, you’re the diva” annotation for the accordion in Ben’s score :D
Yesss :D
The Lick: exists
Adam: *laughs*
If anyone deserves any laughter on that its him 😂
laughs, acts like he hates it, but uses it
It's contagious, it started a few months ago for me...
Adam: *ehehehehhehehehhe*
How to separate good band kids from bad band kids:
Play the licc, and if they laugh, they're good, and if they don't, they don't know anything.

@@DBruce Next you should try getting 5 musically illiterate people to write themes for an ensemble
"Why aren't we writing for accordion always?"
As an accordion player struggling to find anything interesting to play these days, please write for accordion always!!
Korpiklaani uses a lot of Accordion, especially in older albums. Not sure if it's original or just them messing around with traditional songs as a lot of folk metal groups do, but maybe worth looking into? Not exactly the same kinda stuff played in this video. Example ua-cam.com/video/rbTDy4PVz20/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/mLoF4eI8-MI/v-deo.html
Mac Gallagher Try euphonium.
Have you heard "Farmer's Market" (Norwegian band playing mainly jazzy balkan music)? They have the sickest accordion, man. Stian Carstensen is his name and he is equally nuts on guitar and banjo (and even more, i believe). I dunno, it might inspire your accordionesque ways ;) Killer band, for reals!!
You ever heard of "Vallenato", Colombian traditional music in wich the accordion is the main instrument
Haven’t you played all the Finnish folk music? Can’t go wrong with that
It's not a competition, but my favorites were Adam and Ben and Tantacrul and Nahre and David.
Ben, Tantacrul, David and Nahre were obviously the winners.
Sup youtube? No ears? No sense of style? Clearly tantacrul, nahre, adam, ben and david won this one
Oh c'mon you guys are such idiots, it's fairly obvious to people that know about music that Ben, Adam, Nahre, Tentacrul, and David won!

i feel guilty getting to watch this for free
Yeah they are all so geniuses. But we can support them on Patreon.✌
Please, we need to also hear Chroma's side on how they felt while playing each piece!
Yes. This should be something like a three-hour long documentary.
I wouldn't watch a 3 hour version. Maybe on 2x speed? 10 or 15 minutes woulda been cool, but hey.
Ben Levin: "I tried really hard not to make something ironic-"
Also Ben: "Memes underneath our pleading feet"

It didn't sound ironic, just the title did.

I thought you said Tantacrul was "irrelevant" and I was like WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT OUR KING?!
Even though he may be irreverent, he’s still a king to all of us. He’s the head of design at MuseScore so we must treat him nicely.

In which David Bruce ignites the youtube accordion revolution
Oh gods...
The accordion is amazing. My first professional job as a musician was working in a music/furniture store in Oakland California that Dave Meniketti's (singer/guitarist for the 80's band _Y and T)_ grandfather owned, who was quite the accordion player himself. He had horrible taste in guitars though, most of them were total junk and I sold the only 2 good guitars he had the first week I worked there. So after two weeks he made me the in store guitar teacher instead.
But I still remember listening to Mr Meniketti ripping on the accordion back then, and thinking how great it was that there are so many different instruments to make music on. Though it only lasted a few months before I got a better paying job, thanks for the job Mr Meniketti, you helped a young musician out in ways you may never know.
I want one now. Help me before I pick up 10 more instruments on impulse.
i for one welcome our new accordian overlords
Man, I've listened to music all my life and never really got into classical music. Now out of nothing UA-cam throws David's channel at me and I'm hooked. This was amazing.
0:19 "and the idea occurred to me that in the tradition of all the best artists I should steal from him as well"
20:40 "man, I'm gonna be stealing so many of these textures from all of these people"
24:05 "violin writing is just bloody brilliant and I'm gonna um.. take and um... steal it quite frankly"
25:19 "this very complete groove even when there's no drums, it's something I'm taking away from this"
man, you can tell these are some mighty composers right there
Such a joy from start to finish. Hard to believe we were both nervously setting up mics this day last week! (How on Earth did you edit this so quickly?)
coffee!! But seriously dude, couldn't have done it without you!
I love you're software rants, but I have to say you knocked it out of the park here!
Sir! What notation software did you use for this video?
@@AndewMole Sibelius xD
Did u consciously choose to aim the null points of the violin and accordion mics that way?
Sounds like Adam inadvertently made a Legend of Zelda Wind Waker score.
Frankly everything besides Nahre's piece sounded like a recent Zelda score, frankly I have to wonder if that is mostly due to instrumentation and some of the usage of this music.
his piece sounds so RPG-ey, feels like 1st town music
Nahre sounded like nier automata!
I thought this the second i heard it. Brought back so many memories of the wind waker when i was a little kid. Measures 16-18 sounds similar to zelda and also some other parts.
I was thinking this to myself simultaneously upon scrolling to this comment
I came for Adam, knowing he’d do something interesting. But I knew a bit about Ben from adam’s videos and was like oh boy, this should be funny! Then he absolutely knocked it out of the park with beautiful sincerity. Everyone did a great job but holy moly did Ben really exceed expectations and find a way to be clever about it. Where everyone else was purposely being derivative (per the challenge) he somehow made something that really stood on it’s own and didn’t feel like just a flex on the themes. I don’t know man, Ben just really mad something gorgeous.
Nahre's reminded me so much of Joe Hisaishi- the way she used the piano with the other instruments made me feel like I was listening to a ghibli soundtrack. I almost cried- and I actually did cry at Ben's haha
The phrase "Memes Underneath our Pleading Feet" is embedded in my heart now.
So tango!
Shouldn't it be "Beneath"?
@@Tmanaz480 I just took the title from 9:16. Ben went with 'underneath'.

Why are you so nice and collaborative?! My own professors at the conservatoire destroyed my own motivation by destroying each other with slander from one lesson to the next. Congrats for this accomplishment and thank you showing a sweeter, kinder side of music and composition to everyone.
Academics can be their own worst enemies
I’ve noticed there’s a growing change in musicians to be less competitive and more supportive to eachother, especially among younger people, and I’m very happy to be going through music school now instead of in the past
I love all of them, but I can't stop saying ''DAAAAYYUUMMM'' during David's arrangement
By god, it’s the crossover we’ve all been waiting for (and I like the reference to 4 producers 1 sample! hehe)
Most ambitious crossover of all time?
@@Rohishimoto More intense than endgame

That's certainly not the original reference of the title.
"My whole sense of humor has become basically lying."
"I'm gonna make something sincere and beautiful"
*_names song Memes Underneath Our Pleading Feet..._*
_I see what you did there_
I mean, the bass line (the low part) is very memetic themes. So it makes complete sense.
He writes music over the constant onslaught of memes driving the beat. The name of the song is perfect.
I loved all of these unique arrangements and Adam's arrangement was amazeballs, but Ben's (had never heard of him til now) took me on a whole journey and left me gently right back on my bed. That shit really spoke to me lol amazing job.
He has quite a few vids with Adam, they're great to check out. He has a unique way of discussing his music philosophy and approach. And cool hair.
The ending just made me want to see more of the bands reactions to the different pieces. What an awesome video. And brilliant musicians!!
We need that vid
I love Ben's instruction for the accordion in the sheet music: "Super Expressive, you're the diva". Definitely nailed it!
David: here's a bunch of music memes
Composers: *makes beautiful art*
What's the opposite of nihilism?
Memes are art

Hey!
Master's student of the Bulgarian wedding music here.
Cool project, and a lot of fun solutions! Great to see that I'm not THAT much of a lunatic, and that there are other people in the world sharing my humour.
The first idea about the clarinet+accordion=Balkan is a cool way of thinking it, but I also notice the very typical Western approach to it, and I would prefer if the musicians and/or the composer had dug much more into the stylistic choices of the music. A 5/8 on the Balkans is always 2+3, called a "paydushko" (pajdusko/пайдушко), and the ornaments were far out, making it still sound like western musicians. Which is fine, I guess. But one should be aware of these things when writing for musicians that might be very unfamiliar with the styles of the music. I think this is a general idea, no matter the style. Get a classical musician to play any type of folk music, and it will sound weird and awkward to a folk musician who knows the music. Same way, get a folk musician to play NY jazz, and you get something even more strange. I have my background from Norwegian folk music, Nordic jazz and the Balkan folk music, and I've played in projects where the approach is from a more western classical point of view, and that became very awkward for all of us, I think. Same the other way. Notation of folk music (or jazz) is something that I find interesting, and close to impossible if one want ANY musician that is trained in one tradition to do something else, with only reading the scores. How detailed would it have to be, and when does it become too detailed, where it becomes unclear?
ANYWAY, cool project, would love to make something with you guys, even though I'm not Paul McCartney, Mozart or Charlie Parker.
Ben Levin’s composition was sooo beautiful, holy shit!
This was the original intention of Anton Diabelli: take a simple melody (which he happened to have composed) and ask a whole lot of composers-some great, renowned composers (Beethoven topping the charts,) some teachers (Czerny, Hummel, Kalkbrenner,) and even some fledglings (a ten-year-old youngster by the name of Franz Liszt)-all of Austro-Hungarian background-and publish the crazy array of ideas, fifty-one of them, that could come forth from all these brilliant minds.
Beethoven, of course, decided to write thirty-three variations, instead of the requested one, on his own, which became his Op. 120, and that set is the most famous of the project; but it’s fantastic to hear the other approaches that come from the best of the best of the era, as well.
Watching this video, where some really talented composers critique each other’s creations based on a common theme, just hearkens back to the 1820s when fifty composers were kicking back, and playing/listening to each other’s ideas on a common theme.
Thanks for that fact. That's just a super cool thing to have learned. Thank you a million. Love you three thousand.
Thats very informative. thankss
thks for info
this could be an amazing series! Please do more! :)
love the generous spirit of this interaction
This was too good, I've watched it several times. There MUST be a part 2 to come in the near future!

Ben Levin's submission might very well be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Knowing some of his other work I did not expect him to take it in this direction and I think Adam Neely's reaction sort of illustrates that. Absolutely breathtaking.
Absolutely blown away by Ben's piece.. shivers all over. That vulnerable theme... shit. Amazing

David: Accordion should be in orchestra

Same, though unfortunately it probably won't happen soon. Somebody out there should write a concerto for accordion and orchestra or something.
Also I keep seeing your comments everywhere.
LifeOnTheEdge lol, I have been having good luck with having top comments on music and food related videos lately. I guess I’m just a cool guy.
Gubaidulina's Fachwerk from 2009 (for bayan); her concerto from 2017; or Henry Cowell's Concerto Brevis are all good places to start! My favourite use of the accordion has to be in Alban Berg's Wozzeck though... I find it difficult to listen to an accordion swell without hearing "Lustig, lustig... aber es riech".

I TOTALLY enjoyed these pieces. All of them are brilliant.
This is great! When I was in the NATO band we always talked about a project like this, but never found the time. Awesome.
Forgive any pretentiousness, but as I was listening I wrote down some of what these pieces made me think about. Thanks for making this.
Chroma: The versatility and sensitivity of these musicians are astonishing. Heroes.
Adam: Technical, playful, confident. Utterly assured as to where it's going.
Ben: Lovely, creative, intense, with an underlying melancholy. As with everything he does it touches the numinous.
Tantacrul: Witty, folky, and unafraid. I never heard of him before I watched the video but he's damn good. Subbing.
Nahre: Pensive, contemplative, the soundtrack to a restless but solitary evening listening to the rain.
David: Joyous, earthy, sensuous. His humanism (and humanity) add depth and wisdom to every note.
This is one of the most inspiring things I've seen on UA-cam, and an example of what you can do with this medium that you can't do with anything else.
Eric Mattingly go watch tantacruels critique of sibelius. Legit one of the funniest things I’ve seen.
This is truth.
You know what NOT to do here, right? A poll as to what version "is the best one"/"I like the most". Just loop this video again and again and revel in what the 21st century has bestowed upon us: musicians working with one another in what is basically no time. Well, to us viewers, at least.
This video is in my personal pantheon of what UA-cam can be about. Thank you Mr Bruce, and please forward my thanks to your "accomplices". This is simply stunning.
I'm stealing your personal pantheon.
This was so awesome. Wonderful composing, creativity,and the ensemble was fantastic! Thank you!

Well this is without a doubt the most ambitious anime crossover in history.
This composition was stunning and lovely. I am so impressed. All of you were fabulous.
I watched the most recent one of these a couple of days ago, and got this one recommended today. This is such a cool idea, and I love hearing all the different approaches. The best bit though is seeing the reactions from each of the composers to the work of the others. There’s a spirit of generosity and joy that’s infectious. Thank you!
Can't wait for you guys to try this using the Marble Machine X ;)
You just have unlocked a whole new level of goosebumps man... 😍
It will be amazing...
Someone tell Martin about this comment. He'd do it you know, he's all about those crossovers!
I was about to comment that it would be great to have even stricter constraints (because then the differences of approaches would be more emphasized by making it easier to compare), and using the Marble Machine X would be an amazing way of doing that (altough it still has endless possibilities)

me: 5 COMPOSERS 1 THEME (ft. Adam Neely, Nahre Sol, Ben Levin & Tantacrul)
They were like "Hold my Lick"
This has enriched my existence. I can't think of a better compliment.
I never watch long videos, but this made me stay and enjoy life, thank u so much for such a good content. Inspiring!
The way you worded that reminds me of Marshal Rosenberg, Ph.D and author of Non-Violent Communication. You feel me? No... Okay!
Have a nice day! And thank you for enriching my existence by giving the most heartfelt compliment to content I also love.
@@tronkiechannel You have piqued my curiosity with regards to Marshal Rosenberg. I am not familiar with his work but I plan to rectify that soon! Thank you for the nice complement and have a great day!
@@Antilles1974 Only if you do!
If you get the Audible audiobook of Non-Violent Communication, Marshal reads it himself. I've read it over 5 times now audio and physical. It's my #1 book I want to reread and reflect upon the rest of my life.
All the best my friend.
Your Pal,
Connor.
This was honestly one of the most impressive projects I saw and had the honour to listen to in ages... thanks to everybody who was involved in this masterpiece.. greetings from Germany
This video made me so happy. Thank you for this. I subscribed for every participant's channel.
I love how the overall sentiment is just "Ah! I love how they did xyz and blended it with abc. I'M GONNA STEAL IT."
Remember the Seagulls from Pixar's Finding Nemo? That seems to be symbolic of artists.
Wow. Talk about A+ content. I am floored by how good this is, as a UA-cam video, as a community piece, as a collection of new compositions, as a completion of an ambitious idea. The amount of work that has gone in to this and the number of talented people involved is incredible.
If music and videos are meant to make people happy, then you have succeeded. Bravo one and all.
Exactly my thoughts, especially in contrast to so much of mainstream media, which tend to cause rather misanthropic emotions.. stuff like this is like an antidote.
I concur! These videos of Andrew Huangs, this one & ZHC have become my benchmark for premium content, plus they support the community of creators.
Have a nice day Sonny!
I've been video binging. This was the absolute most inspirational . I will watch again and again. Thanks!
This is one of the very best things I've ever seen on UA-cam. So interesting to hear how different everyone's compositions were and the band was amazing. The amount of work, talent, and skill that went into this video is incredible. Thanks to all involved for sharing it with us.
Ben Levin is a precious human being and we have to protect him.
I think we need to educate him.
Adam's piece sounds like a jig from Zelda on jet boosters.
Briliant. Every single one of them.

Feels like Octopath traveler
That's what I thought about Nahre's part - the quick piano reminds me of the field theme from breath of the wild.
KingBobXIV exactly what I was thinking

This video brought me more joy than anything I’ve ever seen on you tube.. great effort all around. And amazing ensemble..

Outstanding arrangements! Each was original and compelling. Hope to hear something like this again soon!

"There was an idea, to bring together a group of remarkable composers, see if they could become something more."
Okay, this was amazing, loved the diversity of the pieces and the great musical ideas overall.
Now, I know that is way more difficult to set up than "4 producers 1 sample", but I'd really love if it became a series!
Anyway, keep up the good work you all!
Spectacular writing. And Chroma... outstanding! All of you are awesome. Thank you!
What a wonderful project! The compositions, the band, the reactions ... so much fun, artistry, depth and collegial cherishing! A big thank you to all involved! Things like this are giving me hope for the future of sophisticated but sincere down-to-earth music.
Sol's was so ethereal, it felt like the moment was solidified briefly and then slowly slipped away.
The way everyone pronounced "Nachtmusik" made it sound like "Nacktmusik" which translates to "nude music"
I laughed way too hard at that^^
Super cool video kudos to everyone!
Needs more phlegm.
Also all the Fur Elise (like, animal fur).
Musicaloris More like “foor” right?
@@MrNikolidas Correct would be Für, I'm not sure how to phonetically mimick that for you but I'm sure you can help yourself.
Musicaloris Jonathan Charles The way I understand it (and I'm not a native speaker, so correct me if I'm wrong) is that it makes a sound similar to the sound before the r in both "girl" and "worker." Icelandic has a similar sound in their letter ö, if I'm not mistaken (I know the Icelandic sound is correct, not sure of the German).
I keep rewatching this! Amazing how much work all of you put into this! The enthusiasm is just addictive! And I fully agree: the band killed it!
This was a ton of fun to watch and listen to. Glad you borrowed and expanded the concept! Thanks all!!!
