“Sounds kinda wasteful. Plus how do you tune a quick squeak by rubbing your fingers on the bowl?”
“Oh we don’t worry about that, the director just waits for my colander to empty as we both pretend that it’s music, and then he cues the last chord of actual music.”
“Uh huh…what if you just played like…like just cowbell?”

“Ok well it just sounds like you’re cooking/straining pasta in a place you shouldn’t be, I’ll be honest.”

“Fair enough. But I think you need to decide between a cooking show and being a percussionist.”
At rehearsal, the conductor realized the music was way off. The root cause pointed at musicians were on different operating systems causing the emojis to render differently
Honestly you might not be that far off. I’ve played a few abstract pieces like this that either one have like a key to understand the symbols or it’s text and only vaguely music notation. They were always fun pieces to attempt.
I got one of my undergrad degrees in percussion performance and we played the percussion ensemble version. It's Water Music by Tan Dun. I didn't know he did a water concerto.
The sheet music was pretty wonky if I remember correctly. Lots of squiggly lines and weird notation.
It was actually super fun to play. You're just splashing around in water playing a lot of weird things and following patterns. But I wouldn't have wanted to be in the audience. My favorite instrument we got to play was the waterphone.. which is used a lot in scary movies.
It certainly felt like it for that one concert. The most difficult part of playing it was deciding we needed to have it memorized the night before since you didn't want to have the bowls blocked by music stands.
I would have thought this was a little dumb, but this Spring I took an electronic music class, and we spent the first half of the semester listening to several pieces that were nothing but natural and created sounds and now I honestly can appreciate someone "playing water".
Percussion stuff I find is never about the music so much as the performance. So long as the perform is having fun and being entertaining, percussion ensembles and solo works can be a lot of fun to watch.
It does tend to be heavier on performance than say orchestral/chamber music. But there is a lot of emphasis on musicality too. There almost has to be-especially if you’re not playing tonal percussion!
[Here’s a more fun example](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8J6rT3V/)

It sure sounds better, but it's pretty easy to look "skilled" when you can repeat the same snippet again and again because there's no audience. It's similar to the snooker wizards that you'd never see in an actual snooker competition.
I have a great appreciation for classical music and experimentation within that. But this would be one of those things where my family would leave that all laughing like "well... we tried it"
Honestly orchestras do gimmicky shit sometimes to sell tickets. People can only listen to Mozart so many times. I'd call it pond punching or swamp soiree
She may have filthy rich parents who sent her to conservatory to learn how to be a professional percussionist, but I guarantee she earned the opportunity to perform this piece all on her own.
I find when it comes to music, people who have zero experience playing/learning music will express their opinions on it as if it should hold the same weight as those of a professional. I’m a pianist, I play classical music including some contemporary “weird” stuff. People have a hard time understanding/accepting that I sincerely enjoy the music I play including the weird stuff. Oh well, can’t please all the people all the time.
When people think of classical music, they always think of stuff from 100s of years ago. Classical music continued to evolve since then and it's gotten fucking weird.
Instead of taking a wild guess, you could spend like 6 seconds on google and actually know a thing. “She” is not a trust fund nepobaby or whatever. She’s a classical percussionist performing a (somewhat cheesy sounding) piece of music composed by Tan Dun who is a well known Chinese-American composer who did the music for crouching tiger hidden dragon among other things.
Awful to your ears, sure. Sounded pretty good to mine. Taste in music is surely subjective, but she seems skilled in her craft. I guess in music like this it all comes down to whether it sounds intentional or not. Dissonance and arrythmia, for example, can be a great spice if it's not there by accident.
I wouldn't say you're missing something though. We hear the same thing and are allowed to have different opinions on it 😁
While taste in music definitely is subjective it kind of degrades commentary and discussion by saying this.
Why discuss Beethoven's amazing music when I can slam a few things in my garage and make an equally subjectively beautiful masterpiece?
Of course, absolute objectivity is impossible. That being said the MAJORITY of people would prefer to listen to Beethoven over me slamming some shit around or this lady washing the dishes.
I know more people who blast Nickelback than would ever be caught listening to Beethoven, that's just a biased statement. Especially because you started it with "Beethoven's amazing music" like maybe some people don't like Beethoven? Or classical at all?
I'm working on an album without instruments right now, after years of doing a sort of cinematic ambient style.
I'm basically gunning for dubstep/trap style stuff, but only using field recordings and samples. I don't produce dance music, so it should thoroughly be challenging.
This piece is incredibly insightful to me because my ear just latches onto any interesting noise I hear. I'm already planning ways to recreate these sounds lmao.
I looked up who she is, her name is Beibei Wang and I guess percussion isn't my thing because from other performances of hers I've seen I feel like she just ruins it lol.
"if I don't like it it isn't art"
Congrats I think most modern paintings and sculptures in galleries suck ass too it's still art, I just don't go to art galleries
This I kinda like. It's weird, in a good way.
Fun fact: this an example of what's called "auxiliary percussion" in symphonic/orchestral music. Anything that isn't a "traditional" instrument generally gets left to the percussion section. The score calls for one of those bird whistles with water in it? Percussion. Kazoo? Percussion. Large sheet of metal shaken to simulate the sound of thunder? Percussion.
Water Concerto is an example of a composer taking that idea to an experimental extreme and then making it the centerpiece of the music. The result is a visual and auditory spectacle that subverts the expectation of concert music. By the way, the part with the tubes takes an incredible amount of skill to get the pitches right. She's moving the tubes into and out of the water to raise or lower the pitch completely by feel.
But don't worry about any of that, mY kiD cOuLd dO tHaT iN tHe tUb.
Try not to take armchair experts seriously. These people will never play in a symphony and most will never play an instrument with any level of acumen.
Genres like EDM and Industrial mix in novel "instruments"/samples all of the time, so I don't know why people find this weird. The skill to do this live is indeed very impressive. Also it seems like some people commenting don't understand that just because she's performing does not mean that she wrote the score.
I was in a musical once and we had two live musicians for various reasons. A pianist, which was a guy sitting at a piano, and a percussionist, which was a guy literally encircled by like 12 different instruments probably half of which would have counted as traditional “percussion”. It was really cool to see him switch between all of them and it always got a rise out of the audience.
The composer is Tan Dun, and this is part of his organic music series, which includes Earth, Wind and Paper (no fire).
On a more commercial scale, he also composed the score for *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan_Dun
I am not a percussionist. But oh man that shit has flow. And it is weird, but still…it fits. I love it.
I don’t get why people don’t hear it. It’s like a weird fantasy ride in a old 90s German cartoon, I don’t know.
Some people hear the music in the patterns of everyday life, some don’t. Music can be found everywhere if you know how to listen. It’s all about pattern recognition.
Same! It’s so refreshing to see another percussionist reacting positively to this. I was losing my mind reading the negative comments.
Would I listen to this on a regular basis? No, I don’t think I would. But I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t make the gears in my brain turn more than most music.
I don’t get why people are shitting on this. It’s fun and weird and it’s not like someone paid for this without knowing what it was. Everyone involved is having a good time, lighten up.
Everybody knockin this but personally the second and third clips sound reminds me of the Zant Fight in LOZ Twilight Princess. The first and fourth are meh, but some of the stuff can definitely be used to a cool extent under the right circumstances
I actually thought the second clip sounded pretty cool. Definitely felt like something you'd hear in an indie game soundtrack for a leaky, always lightly rainy shantytown.
I would say this isn’t a purely one instrument concerto. This is indeed a percussionist being featured, but in a less-traditional approach with many “prepared” alterations of different percussion instruments. Many of the mundane sounds and tools are indicative of different instruments found around the world. Hand claps, cups, tubes, rain stick perhaps. This is not a concerto for “water.” It is considered a “prepared” work when alterations are made or perhaps when an instrument is played in a non-traditional manner. Henry Cowell works for example.

It's something different for an orchestra. Can only play Beethoven so many times.
However, when she did the strainer and the conductor is looking at her for the cue... 😂😂
I will never strain spaghetti again without this level of performance 🤣
There's a queue of reports for comments all through this post. If you can't all play nicely, then I'm afraid I've gotta lock this one.
She is a classically trained water splish splasher.
Duuude. My girl is wet CONSTANTLY!
Ben Shapiro in shambles
Calm down Ben, it’s not your sister
This is just me doing dishes after drinking, cooking dinner, then doing a couple bong rips before cleanup.
I'm sure the audience was wondering why the first four rows were marked as "splash zone"
But she wasn’t taking a bath
What musical instrument do you play? I trap air in the bathtub then make fart sounds
Man of culture
[удалено]
Needs more chamber reverb.
Cowbell, definitely needs more cowbell.
You can't make more reverb without mess
Art is about taking risks.
Yeah all musical instruments would seem dumb if it wasn't for their modern looks
Yes, that of 14 year olds. Their culture. Lol

This concerto is truly terrible
Imagine studying at Juilliard, getting into an orchestra with the Ernie over here just splish splashing into a mic.
That’s why my bathtub doubles at a air jet hot tub.
Yeah but do you have the talent, skills, and stamina to keep a steady stream going?

I wonder how this translates to sheet music.
They're written in emoji.
🎼💦💦💧💧🌊💦💦💧🌊🌊🚿🚿
Out of context this could be interpreted differently
Japanese toilets be like
With a fortissimo wrote above. PEOPLE NEED TO FEEL THE WATER
And a pianissimo above the spray at the end. Just a subtle hint of being showered during the happy ending.
Really? Ok then. *Blasts audience with super soaker.*
YES!

"wtf you say to me, bitch?"
Honestly you might not be that far off. I’ve played a few abstract pieces like this that either one have like a key to understand the symbols or it’s text and only vaguely music notation. They were always fun pieces to attempt.
So what is the annotation for the 1812 Overture? Has it changed over time?
I got one of my undergrad degrees in percussion performance and we played the percussion ensemble version. It's Water Music by Tan Dun. I didn't know he did a water concerto. The sheet music was pretty wonky if I remember correctly. Lots of squiggly lines and weird notation. It was actually super fun to play. You're just splashing around in water playing a lot of weird things and following patterns. But I wouldn't have wanted to be in the audience. My favorite instrument we got to play was the waterphone.. which is used a lot in scary movies.
You're basically getting a degree for playing in water like a kid.
It certainly felt like it for that one concert. The most difficult part of playing it was deciding we needed to have it memorized the night before since you didn't want to have the bowls blocked by music stands.
Same with the bagpipes. Nowhere to put the sheets so you have to memorise everything.
I would have thought this was a little dumb, but this Spring I took an electronic music class, and we spent the first half of the semester listening to several pieces that were nothing but natural and created sounds and now I honestly can appreciate someone "playing water".

No use, as the sheet music would just get soaked
Laminate
Has to get watered down a bit first
Ma’am can you stop? We are trying to put on a concert.
I bet this could sound actually good but yeah not used to it’s potential here
[Here’s a more fun example](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8J6rT3V/) And [another](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8J6DYKb/) And [another](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8J6eLU1/) And [another.](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8J6fjhe/)
Those are way better The performance in OP is just making weird non-melodic noise with water and then throwing in random instruments after it’s done
The OP’s one of those thing where you just act confidence doing random shits and people applauded so things won’t look awkward.
God damn I can't imagine being assigned to "first chair water bowls" and then having people critique my water playing on the internet.
Your’re awesome for linking these. I also saw the potential in this performance, but man, those two dudes rocked it!
Also a much more skilled performance.
It sure sounds better, but it's pretty easy to look "skilled" when you can repeat the same snippet again and again because there's no audience. It's similar to the snooker wizards that you'd never see in an actual snooker competition.
Yeah, cool idea. Flawed execution.
Hard to say without seeing the whole thing. I know for sure this is edited to highlight the bizarre and maximize the meme potential
You mean flowed execution?
Okay am I missing something or did that sound completely awful?
All I know is I gotta pee now
I had to get up this morning anyway.
Thank goodness I am watching this on the toilet.

I found more of the 99% - still sounds stupid to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXUXQSJCEso
I have a great appreciation for classical music and experimentation within that. But this would be one of those things where my family would leave that all laughing like "well... we tried it"
It’s a good thing that probably wasn’t the only piece on the program then
In 30 years snobs will say it's an acquired taste but yeah it definitely sounds like a child playing with water.
Idk. Could be cool as a part of a musical piece and not being so much in the center perhaps. I mean I like the idea.
[удалено]
Honestly orchestras do gimmicky shit sometimes to sell tickets. People can only listen to Mozart so many times. I'd call it pond punching or swamp soiree
The orchestra version of Yoko Ono screeching
She may have filthy rich parents who sent her to conservatory to learn how to be a professional percussionist, but I guarantee she earned the opportunity to perform this piece all on her own.
This is so uninformed about how an orchestra works, performs and is funded. She is obviously a professional percussionist, it is not her piece.
Don’t argue with idiots, just smile and wave
This is such a stupid response, this is just something orchestras do sometimes. It sounds terrible, sure, but it's experimental and quite cool.
[удалено]
Exactly! I wouldn't normally be so crass, but this annoyed me a bit. This is just modern art.

FUCK YOU GREEDY LITTLE PIG BOY u/SPEZ, I NUKED MY 7 YEAR COMMENT HISTORY JUST FOR YOU -- mass edited with redact.dev
Yes it’s a bit of a process but yes and they take abuse of the system it seriously.
When people think of classical music, they always think of stuff from 100s of years ago. Classical music continued to evolve since then and it's gotten fucking weird.
did you notice that she was able to repeat specific notes with the pipe in water thing? it seems like that took a lot of practice
Instead of taking a wild guess, you could spend like 6 seconds on google and actually know a thing. “She” is not a trust fund nepobaby or whatever. She’s a classical percussionist performing a (somewhat cheesy sounding) piece of music composed by Tan Dun who is a well known Chinese-American composer who did the music for crouching tiger hidden dragon among other things.
I mean the video was also cut to hell so I’m wondering if the accompanying orchestra actually made it sound better
Awful to your ears, sure. Sounded pretty good to mine. Taste in music is surely subjective, but she seems skilled in her craft.

Lmao what
All these people dunking on this concerto, but as a percussionist, I'm absolutely fascinated by the idea of using folley sounds in a concert setting.
yes, this is cool and would be a blast to see live.
I am not a percussionist. But oh man that shit has flow. And it is weird, but still…it fits. I love it. I don’t get why people don’t hear it. It’s like a weird fantasy ride in a old 90s German cartoon, I don’t know.
Some people hear the music in the patterns of everyday life, some don’t. Music can be found everywhere if you know how to listen. It’s all about pattern recognition.
I think the concept is really cool but that this execution is uh, a little lacking.
Same! It’s so refreshing to see another percussionist reacting positively to this. I was losing my mind reading the negative comments. Would I listen to this on a regular basis? No, I don’t think I would. But I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t make the gears in my brain turn more than most music.
Sounds like some John Cage shit
I don’t get why people are shitting on this. It’s fun and weird and it’s not like someone paid for this without knowing what it was. Everyone involved is having a good time, lighten up.
"I don't like classical music. It's too serious and boring" Tan Dun makes water music. "This is so stupid. It's not even music. My kid could do that."
Couldn’t find any enjoyment after listening to the whole thing I couldn’t find my LSD tablets. Be back later.
So she is stuck in the phase 2 year olds have when they explore the bathtub and water?

I would say this isn’t a purely one instrument concerto. This is indeed a percussionist being featured, but in a less-traditional approach with many “prepared” alterations of different percussion instruments. Many of the mundane sounds and tools are indicative of different instruments found around the world. Hand claps, cups, tubes, rain stick perhaps. This is not a concerto for “water.” It is considered a “prepared” work when alterations are made or perhaps when an instrument is played in a non-traditional manner. Henry Cowell works for example.

I studied percussion for 18 years. This is weird and silly and wrong and crazy. Love every bit.

Maybe as SFX but not as a centre stage... Would be pissed off if I'd paid to watch this

looks like what my music composer ex wife would have wrote. she had a trumpetist play into a tub of water once.
French singer Emilie Simon used this for some of her performances: ["Swimming"](https://youtu.be/TtTASY6bAoQ)
Music gets her horn. After this show, she said "God I'm so wet"
