He failed at failing, but succeeded at the piece called "Failing", which is a piece about failing to read and play solo bass at the same time, therefore he failed to fail at his performance, and his parents, fellow peers in music and friends all think he fails at failing to fail at this piece. Or in other words, he succeeded.

Diz, Max Roach, Mary Lou Williams, Eubie Blake, Willie the Lion Smith, and other greats waited outside. Mingus refused to be evacuated. He denounced police and firefighters from the stage while playing double and triple fugues in cut time and offering his own one of a kind social commentary. "If I’m going to die, I’m ready. But I’m going out playing ‘Sophisticated Lady!’ ” No warning. No rehearsal. That's just Mingus pissed off. Kidding aside, THIS was an amazing performance. Bravo, sir!

Hey Corey!! What a pleasure to see your Bass skills and introduction of an art form that can grow into a great presentation for the future of the stringed instruments. I was brought in greatly after your introduction.. good for you!!

I simply loved this.

The thing with this piece is, though, that as an audience we have no idea when there is failure happening, as we don't know what is 'supposed' to happen. With no criteria of success, there is no failure. I can't spot any moment of failure as such, despite the text on failure making perfect sense. So, although the performance is superb, the piece doesn't actually stage 'failure', if that is what the purpose was (it may not have been, I'm not sure).

@drakebloedje

10 жыл бұрын

The whole piece is a paradox. The general consensus of success is playing a piece exactly the way it has been written. But the text states that the goal of this piece is to fail in the first place. So he fails either way: be it by playing the whole piece perfectly, thus nullifying the statement of the text, or failing at playing it well and ending up with a subpar performance. Which means he can only succeed.

@flameguitarcody

10 жыл бұрын

Pelle Kuipers all in all isn't the text just that, text? It is just an opinion on the subject by the composer not definitive. so long as he stays true to music theory he technically is not failing, he would only be failing if the text was absolute, which music theory itself is not even absolute thus the "theory" it is simply the highest definition of understanding we have compiled so far.

@drakebloedje

10 жыл бұрын

cody rowe The composer does decide how and when his piece will be a success or a failure. And it seems that the text isn't just text, otherwise it wouldn't have been there in the first place. By simply stating that text is just text and looking at music theory, you ignore the fact that the composer must have thought about the relation between the text and the music.

What I am getting at though is just because they are words in the piece doesn't mean that those words are directions specific to the song.

Posted on my first day in high school! Ever so motivating!

This is fantastic I am amused and highly impressed at the same time

How fun!! And impressive!!

I like to imagine he's actually a very tiny man playing a regular violin.

I see some people fighting about wether he should have revealed a blank piece of paper at the end. What I would have done as a composer is deliberately leave 2 blank pages at the end, and a note for the performer explicitly telling them to show the audience a blank sheet. After which, it is the decision of the performer to reveal the truth or not and either truly succeed at 'failing', or fail at succeeding failing. Boom, now everyone's happy.

Although, I did have to compensate for the scale length of the upright, and I doubt that they would be used in a professional setting (same as guitar tab).

TheNerdyGeek Why not use bass clef for both? Ironically, I think tabs are more confusing than the bass clef, partially because I learned it before I picked up the bass for the first time.

+Nicholas D'alterio what is Primus?

suppose hes memorized the entirety of the text and music by the day of this performance. im no expert, but it seems to me that theres not much left for the brain to actually read, he must then simply play and speak out of memory, is that not whats happening?

Zimbo no, because you play guitar, it's different

Zimbo however, maybe he memorised the speech, but not the notes

Note that some people usually do memorize a piece as preparation for performing.

Pretty incredible, it's hard enough to just follow the chart, I can't imagine reading text as well! My hat is off to you dude! Bravo!!

While the concept is novel, and the challenge it presents is fascinating, I think the idea behind it is also brilliant. I think most people miss the concept it faces the performer and the audience with: in order to succeed in the act of creation-real, human creation-we have to fail to some degree. But in order to fail, we have to try to succeed. Otherwise it isn’t truly a failure. And if we try to succeed, and fail along the way, does that mean we succeeded in a more true sense? A piece *designed* to be failed is fascinatingly paradoxical and stretches your brain and its perception of success, failure, and everything in between and beyond. I can’t quite wrap my head around every facet of its statement, and I think that makes it even better.
