That was an incredible explanation of recreating a sound. It kind of reminds me taking a guitar pick and slowly grinding it up the length of the top E string. I think I will have to practice the frog rattle.
It's very similar to that! It's also just about finding interesting new things to do on the instrument! Mostly not good things, but useful for that one time you need the effect!
This is @bengy at his best! Bringing us something interesting, entertaining and challenging all at the same time :) Now I have a little challenge for my violinist friends (hehehe)...
I think too many of us humans take life and work too seriously. Love that you're showcasing this fun and unconventional bit, showing that even something as refined as a violin can be used to be silly and create sounds that mimic nature. :)
It was an older notion, when the violin (and "Classical" music in general, wasn't the "refined" art that we now take it to be! Anyway, finding interest and joy is a great way to try and keep the creative interest alive!
ahahahahahahaha common, you did not just DO THAT! :D That is amazing, your daughter in the background seems to enjoy it too. lolololol, when I read the title I was thinking "ooh, he is not going to..." and then I heard and you completely blew my mind! :D
How amazing, I never even realised a violin could sound anything other then...a violin! But your description makes perfect sense - when you treat the instrument in a different way how it sounds will change - musicians always fascinate me you have to know so much to even create a single note - and then even more to change it how you want.
Sometimes our instinct about what is correct or expected is a good thing to have, other times it is a limitation to our imagination. In this case, it is definitely the latter, but it can be difficult to be brave enough to break the rules of good sound!
That sounds SO like a frog - your toddler was clearly impressed! But the "fake frog" is just pathetic! I love hearing surprising animal noises in music.
Yes, the fake frog is pretty lame... But so many people do it like that... Just because that is technically what is written in the score. But anyone can tell that that isn't quite right!
Hahaa! This is brilliant, and it does sound like a frog. Nice little tutorial here.
Do you have other violin tutorials? I am slowly learning (very slowly) as I can't find a teacher where I live. Some youtube videos are also hard to connect with...
No... I find that teaching violin over video or online is a bit of difficult problem... I find that teaching in person is the best way, there are just so many little things that need a direct physical hand to show.
It's what I thought and I know it's what I need, unfortunately I don't have that option. Oh well, I will take what I can get through internet and books. ^_^
So, there you have my impression of a frog on a violin... and the thoughts that went into creating it! Apologies for the bad sound recording (and the toddler..) and the funny angle photos... it was all done on a phone.
Very cool. I didn't understand a lot of the technical stuff as I'm not a musician, but I enjoyed your presentation! It does sound a lot like a frog indeed. Also was that your kid in the background? Super cute! Heh.
The concept of making these "frog" sounds are so alien to many of my colleagues... and this is in a piece that gives you complete license to make this UGLY sounds! However, a quick search (and the shocked reactions from some colleagues...) show that most musicians won't be brave enough to do it... it is a sad thing, when a piece that is meant as a funny showcase for making tricks on the violin is taken so seriously that a musician can't throw aside their fear of judgement and make a horrible sound!
That's a shame indeed. I can empathize to a degree in other areas besides music as I'm not in that field and it's unfortunate when people try to conform too much to the status quo so to speak and don't free themselves more to explore the diversity and spirit of life in such manner.
Cool entry bengy! Quite creative and interesting. Music is such a fascinating artform. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed, there needs to be a good balance of conformity and daring to break out... too much of either ends up being disastrous in the long run in different ways!
Yes, that was my youngest child in the audio clip... I had to do the recording at home on a day that she was around... I think she was a bit surprised by the sound!

You should do sheep sounds for all the sheepish scared to experiment people.LoL.
Ha ha... Hmmm, a sheepl would be tricky! I would have to think hard about how to do that!

Haha... torture your violin friends! I love it! Long time no see old Steem friend!

Let's hope he confines himself to emulating frogs. Don't let your imagination wander. Or his either.
Heh?

It's always a funny first impression on a new audience! I think my child was also a bit surprised as well!

way cool can you do bull frogs?
Don't know! I will have to listen to a few audio tracks of BullFrogs!
Probably I won’t even be capable of getting a decent sound out of a 🎻!

It's just as hard to be brave enough to unlearn your habits, so for this you start in a better place!
I hate frogs but I must confess that you achieved a great melody, I think I'm going to joke with my nephews with that
Thanks! I was quite interesting to listen to so many audio tracks of different types of frogs to get the idea in my head to imitate!
That's quite a name! :D
