did you watch the youtube video off to the side. it shocks me that people wouldn't notice such a thing.
UGH People don't care cause Josh Bell is overrated. If It was Jascha Heifetz people would stop. Joking. I was gonna post it too!
I know you were joking, but I gotta do a serious remark on how snob is the academic music nowadays... Seriously, people no longer goes to listen, they just want to pay a lot of cash and look snob on their ambient, to the point where a non written code makes the audience intimidate its very own feelings... Not cool for us who really listen to music.
I called a conservatory and asked if they taught electric bass they said "No we only teach legitimate instruments"
...And classical/academic music audiences think most popular/vernacular music is driven by the glandular secretions of post-adolescent amateurs and controlled by corporations to ensure an never ending stream of planned-obsolescent "keeping it real" music fashion that will fatten their own wallets, while clearly proving "no one is really listening to that noise." Ideology in music is a big waste of your time, and mine. IMHO.
