I've been studying Murail's music intensely for a while, for the most part I prefer his ensemble work. Still, this piece impresses me deeply. Kudos to Rafael Andia for his sensitive performance !
@InsertName125 the first time I heard a piece like this was in music literature class. I was offended by it because I realized that I would have to study that "trash". That was about 10 years ago and I'm glad I had that reaction to it - that experience means something to me today; It's a part of the life experience. It's all interesting. Life's not too short to hate something.
Im not the biggest Murail fan (not that its bad music, but it doesnt excite me as much as others) but this piece is pretty phenomenal! Amazing guitarist too!
@Ltlevim it is just his interpretation of itt. I see him use it in his rasgueados. I cant tell if he uses it anywhere else. The string looks like it is attached specifically for this piece. It is a 6 string guitar. The seventh string gives it more resonance. Other then that I don't know. Others play it with six strings. The only way I can think that he atttached it at the bridge is by looping it through the circle of the 6th string and wrapped it around the bridge.
@Ltlevim Playing the bass line to the Barney Miller theme song, in case the other six strings break. Also, it looks cool. I have one too, but I wear it as an ankle bracelet to go with my sneakers.
@Ltlevim My response was the only proper response to the question of "what the 7th string was for". 1: What's the seventh string for? 2: wat Am I getting through to you better? Here's a question: What are the other 6 strings for? wat wat wat wat
@Ltlevim It looks like he might have a small piece of bone sitting on the edge of the tie block at the bridge to hold the string how he wants it. But I really cant tell.
@fingersmccoy I've heard of composers putting calculus in their toolbox: "To effectively render these effects to the ear, the durations have been calculated to the average curves of acceleration" Did you get the sense that it is very mathematical or natural, or was it emotional to you?
Some people enjoy this music. There are limitless ways and reasons to listen to music. I still don't understand why disonant Classical music on RUclips usually invokes this 150 year old debate. Concerning the pretentiousness myth, who would be more likely to talk to you after a concert: a world famous classical guitarist who plays this piece or Paris Hilton? Seriously, why are you here? If you already hate this music how did you sit through ten minutes of it? Life's too short. Move on.
@fingersmccoy This type of music definitely strikes a bad chord in a lot of people. Offensive even. Over the years I've felt several emotions from it. Starting with offense at my first hearing of it, then humor at seeing other people offended by it, and now I think this one is one of the most interesting guitar scores I've ever heard. It would be interesting to see people's reactions to it as a performer. Have you played it? I want to. It will be unlike anything else I've ever studied.
@Ltlevim By the way. Feel free to use the "urban dictionary" to describe your thoughts. I'll stick with English. After all the work it took to "explain it", wouldn't it have been easier to just include the 'h' and the question mark? Don't those characters come with your iphone? That "urban" language sure is a lot more succinct and accurate isn't it? "peace out brohan" Wait, no, I have something more cliché to use. Let's see..... ROTFLMAFO The level of discourse is amazing!
@CrabtreeGuitar Did you learn anything from your experience? Or did you just come back to youtube 10 years later to confirm that your initial reaction was "right all along", and required no further thought? Did hating this piece improve you as a musician or as a person? You're free to hate anything you want, but going out of your way to seek it out, just to say you STILL hate it, seems pretty wasteful to me. Are you on a mission to rid the world of everything you hate?

i love the music of Tristan Murail and these is a great perfomance of Tellur,bravo maestro
Oeuvre étrange et belle,magistralement interprétée.Un régal!
Very thought provoking and passionate!
E' semplicemente spettacolare,emozionante,incredibile.
O god that was mindblowing. Such perfection in that chaos. Just brilliant

Excellent performance, by the way. Thanks for posting!
WOW that ruled.

visualize the sound as an object and listen to it transform from one state to another

@Ltlevim
Oh yeah. You'll also need one of these:

does the piece require 7 strings on the guitar?
It would then probably mean, that Murail wrote it for this player(or his guitar)
no, the score is written for a 6 string guitar :)

Here ya go:

What's dissonant anymore anyway these days? This is pretty mild in that regard. Good point, nonetheless.
