Wish it would show at the bottom of the screen or something how these effects are notated.

[@snugglethorn]

no kidding!

[@oliverdubon5438]

The piece they're working from at the beginning is the sixth movement from Saariaho's Sept Papillions. You can find this piece here: ruclips.net/video/8j0LcmdG1kI/видео.html It'll take a bit of looking around to find exactly which parts they are talking about in this but the piece is there.

@@oliverdubon5438 I'm guessing it's at bar 24 around 6:49 isn't it? And especially bars 9,10,11 at 7:35

If one is able to think and feel, this makes you feel and think about music in a different and refreshing way

[@MrInterestingthings]

Wonderful . We hear these things now quite often . Film work is about what we can't express in words so visuals and music give us new ways to express current life .

Which piece is this from? Would love to see the harmonic trill notation from 1:05

I believe it's the beginning of Saariaho's Sept Papillons!

We don't need this kind of noisy music!

[@bleuheliotrope]

But we certainly need this kind of noisy comment...

+Caroline Cohen Let's make a deal. We won't listen to Justin Bieber, and you won't listen to that, and everybody's happy!

[@TheMikkis100]

The music of next century will be fart and street drill noises. Remember that it's the new century so we need that type of music!

[@garykuovideos]

Hi, Caroline. These performance techniques, while unconventional and infrequently used, have been very pivotal in film music where traditional writing is limited. If you think of them as a color or spice, they can allow a composer to be very effective.
