    @Luk3r 2 года назад +1302

    Crazy how her saw playing has led her away from the idea of set keys and scales since the semitones aren't a linear progression of a single variable for her; to get from one note to another involves tweaking enough variables that it's not even worth thinking of things in terms of set scales. She seems to have developed insane muscle memory to find the right sound she wants on the saw, and combined it with perfect pitch hearing. Jamming for her must be such a cool experience, like dancing to the other instruments instead of thinking about the scale and "I IV III IV" type stuff. Rob's a legend for not only given these people a platform but being so damn talented himself that he can really show us how they think and work relative to other musicians.

      You know what's ironic? You wouldn't write this kind of wank for a fretless guitar or a trombone even though a lot of what you said would still apply. You realize instruments without predetermined intervals are common, right?
      Most of your comment honestly doesn't even make sense. Microtonality doesn't mean chords and intervals don't matter. It could actually make it matter more, since you're using unorthodox intervals, which matters more than actual pitches/frequencies. It's the ratio/intervals that give the chord its sound, NOT the notes/frequencies. That's why 432hz songs still sound musically coherent when it's "out of tune." The intervals between notes are still the same. The only possible exception I see is if you have perfect pitch.

    On one of their first dates, my grandparents realised that, even though they grew up eleven years apart (with a war in between) and in different cities, they had the same music teacher who would play bis musical saw for them. A few decades later, my aunt met the guy at university and told him the story. When he died, she inherited the saw from him.

    Having made a few steel drums the S curve of the saw makes a lot of sense. You also need that curve around each note in the steel drum to get them to ring. The real skill in steel drum making is getting the harmonic notes to be in tune, which in this case I guess you can just avoid playing.

Myself as an example, I've done all sorts of things in my life from music to martial arts to mechanics, pretty much anything I want to do, I can gain a base level of competence in very little time. The impression I get is that Rob is like that too, he just happens to do mostly musical stuff with that excellent ability to learn.

    When they played You Are My Sunshine, I thought she was singing and only the strokes were the saw. I didn't realize _that whole melody was just saw._ Incredible! The saw as an instrument has always reminded me of the high lonesome prairie. It really does make you feel as though you're on a cattle drive with howling coyotes in the distance. An awesome acoustic precursor to the theremin!

      to be fair those people who made the electronic versions weren't actually basing it on the analog version... like the person who made the theremin wasn't trying to make an electronic version of the musical saw, the two just make the same sort of sound because of the way they function
