In this video I show you some of the many sounds that can be obtained with superball mallets in the piano.
Be sure to visit the video in which I explain how to make them:
• How to build your own ...
Thank you, this was very informative!!! I've heard contemporary pianists make whale noises inside their pianos and have been looking to try the technique myself.
Great. So happy this is of help…
which pieces?
@@alacatooo just free improvisation!
THANK YOU. As always, Ricardo, fascinating and instructive!
So happy…
It's like whalesong, I love it!
yes...it's amazing...🙃
Fantástico conhecer esses novos recursos sonoros do piano com técnicas estendidas. Parabéns Ricardo.
me alegro mucho de que te sea de utilidad. un abrazo
Amazing sounds! I'm sure John Cage would have loved this.
I'm sure too. Have you listened to Michelle Agnes Magalhaes homage to him (Mobile)? He would have loved magnets as well...
@@RicardoDescalzo No, thanks for the tip. I'm also going to try superball mallets on my Monster Lyre, which has 8 foot steel cable strings.
Cheers from cloudy Vienna, Scott
fascinating!
very beautiful, greetings from Germany, Frankfurt
Many thanks. Greetings from Spain…all best
THIS IS INCREDIBLE! :o
I appreciate it...
Bravo!!
abrazo
Great video Ricardo, very helpful! Thank you!
I'm happy it's been helpful...greetings..
Very nice video! Can this kind of playing on the piano be damaging to it in any way?
Many thanks. I can’t imagine how can it damage the piano. Take always care with the dampers (don’t get close to them). It may leave traces of the rubber of the ball. Avoid using balls that leave traces and always clean afterwards if that happens…that’s all…
Whales singing 🤩 (or crying, depends on the timestamp)
Sometimes it sounds like laughing too…
Amazing sounds !! Those wouldn't work with a regular superball ? I wonder why..! :0
Hi there. Many thanks for writing. Yes, they are like regular superballs? Why you say those sound would not work with a regular one?
@@RicardoDescalzo Hi ! No I was just wondering because those superballs are cut in half that's all ! :) but yes that makes total sense that it would work with a regular one too! thank you
@@alyssaregent-composer9713 It is something a percussion player told me. It seems strange, but for some reason, cutting the head in half works many times when the full head doesn't work properly....
This is epic as fuck
Beautiful! Where exactly did you buy the bouncing balls and the fiber glass sticks?
Best
Hi. You may buy the fiberglass rods in a department store. In Spain it would be something similar to Leroy Merlin (look for it in the internet). For the bouncing balls, try in cheap toys shops. Through the internet you may find both things too. Good luck
thank you for making these videos! do you know any good examples for notation?
Hi. Many thanks. I will do a series about notations soon. It's the most important issue for me...stay tuned
Superb! May I ask you permission to sample some of these sounds to create a sonic collage? M.D.P.
Hi. Many thanks for your feedback. As long as it is a free product, I’m very happy with you creating this collage. I’ll love to listen to it when you have it. Best
@@RicardoDescalzo many thanks Sir. I will make sure you are the first to hear it! :)
They sound like whale songs! Fascinating…
Yes. They do. It’s crazy…
@@RicardoDescalzo I'm getting more and more interested in the idea of composing for prepared piano in the future. My main question is: how much does each of the techniques change from a piano model or a piano brand to another? Is the composer safe enough to assume that the piece will reasonably sound almost the same on a different instrument? Since I tend to be a very "deterministic" composer, who likes to have absolutely everything under control in detail, a video on this subject would be very interesting, in my opinion.
@@GiovanniGrosskopf Dear Giovanni...yes, it's a very important issue. I'm planning to release a video about this topic. Many thanks for the advice...
At first it almost sounds like a far less 'scratchy' nail violin.
beautiful. Never thought of it...
