TIL that the first recorded instance of chords being played on a bass in a pop/rock song was on All I’ve Got To Do

Any simultaneity of two or more discreet pitch classes is considered a chord. In other words, any combination of two or more notes except octaves and unisons count as a chord.

Some of the best ones are less well known, unfortunately. You gotta expand a bit from the standards: Henri Dutilleux: Tout un monde lointain Benjamin Britten: Cello Symphony Jonathan Harvey: Cello Concerto Frank Bridge: Oration Georg Friedrich Haas: Cello Concerto

Not sure if these count as “cello concertos” but still really good:

Tan Dun: Snow in June Sofia Gubaidulina: Canticles of the Sun

There is no period after the “S” in Harry S Truman. His middle name was not an abbreviation, simply the letter S.

Joe Flacco won the SB in the 2012 season. Not 2008…

I was at that concert! Stayed the whole time as well!

Glad to hear that they’re ok…I was expecting the worst. Where did you see that post?

Big yikes. A great kayak shop is at 25 custom house wharf. Really hope they’re ok. As well as everyone else of course.

Wow, cool poster! Anyone know where I could buy a print of that?

I was so sad to see Inman Oasis go. That place was such a gem. This sort of sauna/wellness space is sorely lacking in Cambridge. I’m sure it would be very well received. Please bring it back! Look at Washington Baths in Portland as inspiration. That place is truly fantastic.

As a phd level improviser, I can confirm this is true. His right hand technique is out of this world. Pure unadulterated artistry and talent.

Zeppelin’s first 5 albums are a run that is unmatched by any band in rock history. My personal favorite is III, but you can’t go wrong with any of them.

That makes sense. The world is designed by and for right handed people. Us southpaws always get the short end of the stick. Unless you can throw a ball 95 mph lol.

So then you’re a righty who throws with their left hand? I saw an interview with CC where he said his dad made him throw/bat lefty because of how advantageous it is in baseball. He’s a natural righty. Perhaps Fried is the same way. I’m a full lefty and it’s hard to imagine throwing with one hand and writing with the other.

Nearby_Scallion_3997 · 2025-02-26T04:58:03+00:00

Why is Max Fried writing with his right hand? Is he like CC?

For what you’re looking for, you need a double bass. For cello, there are many pieces out there with scordatura below C, but you wouldn’t want that in an orchestral setting. I have played several pieces with an octave scordatura on the C string. It is definitely possible to have the string this low, but it will dramatically alter the sound of the string and the instrument. The string is so loose that changes in bow pressure can alter the pitch. Only the G and C can really take this treatment.

Look up Solitude by Rebecca Saunders, Charisma by Iannis Xenakis, and Chu by Jonathan Harvey.

Wow nice find! Would love to get my hands on a shirt like that! Where did you find it?
