It's also really great for ear-training and chop-building on one's instrument! Auto-Tune the News #4 on Shamisen: Majestic sunset. Nearly impossible glissandos. Inward-looking degenerative nonsense. The instrument is called Tsugaru shamisen, and it's a fretless three-stringed lute which hails from northern Japan. The plectrum I use to play it with is called a bachi. It is not an ice scraper, but you can think of it as one if you like. I mean, it's fine with me anyway. Ok! Thanks for everything, everybody.

SXSW 2011: "Auto Tune the News" The Gregory Brothers perform Winning
Live performance of Winning from The Gregory Brothers of "Auto Tune the News" at the IFC Crossroads House in Austin, TX, from SXSW 2011.
Auto-Tune the News #9 Note-for-Note on 3-Stringed Fretless Japanese Shamisen.
More shamisen renditions of the Gregory Brothers' ATtN episodes: #2: www.youtube.com #4: www.youtube.com #5: www.youtube.com #6: www.youtube.com #7: www.youtube.com #8: www.youtube.com Lately, I've kind of been obsessed with these masterful compositions by the Gregory Brothers because I'm a geek. Not to draw unnecessary parallels, but their music seems strangely Messiaenic to me. Messiaen's music was rhythmically complex largely due to his fascination with birdsong, right? He considered himself to be an ornithologist, and birds to be the greatest musicians on the planet. While there are obvious dissimilarities between Messiaen and the Gregory Brothers, The Gregory Brothers' songs' freaky rhythmic phrasing (amazing and great, of course) derives, at least in part, from the speech patterns and cadences of the various Auto-Tuned characters. They're quantized and sometimes manipulated (I assume, anyway. I actually haven't bothered yet to research Auto-Tune technique or anything like that, so I'm just a scholastic failure!) so as to create rhythms very different from those originally uttered by the agent. However, assuming that the Gregory Brothers use at least some of the organic rhythms spoken, they are, like Messiaen, creating a new music that derives its musical substance straight from the sonic and visual landscapes that surround them. Birds for Messiaen, television politicos for the Gregory Brothers. Though I tend to listen and play mostly folk/classical instrumental ...

Auto-Tune the News #2 Note-for-Note on Japanese Shamisen/Samurai Debate/Naka Bushi
Nerd learns another episode of the Gregory Brothers' amazing Auto-Tune the News series and performs it on the three-stringed fretless Japanese lute called Tsugaru shamisen. Samurai subsequently debate the legitimacy of his shamisen playing. More shamisen renditions of ATtN episodes: #4: www.youtube.com #5: www.youtube.com #6: www.youtube.com #7: www.youtube.com #8: www.youtube.com #9: www.youtube.com Praise and glory be to The Gregory Brothers for crafting such fine audio/visual works of art! (seamless transition from 3rd to 1st person narrative) Somehow it has become a sort of goal of mine to learn to play all of the ATTN episodes on the shamisen (at least all episodes in the first season). The melodies that the Gregory Brothers create are all so clever and fun to play, ya know?! Nonsense: Life (in terms of everything, yet simultaneously in terms of nothing)! Team A2 seeks thunder as far as one can say. Liken me to you and I'll be appreciative, but I won't die 'til so much later, friend. I do more note-for-note renditions of ATTN episodes on shamisen here: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com Thanks for watching!

Auto-Tune the News #5 Played Note-for-Note on Fretless (lol) Japanese Shamisen.
The instrument is called the shamisen and it comes from Japan. The huge awkward looking pick I'm using (it's not an ice scraper:)) is called a 'bachi' and it's the traditional pick used to play the shamisen. Well, I've held off on doing #5 up until now due to the incredible technical challenges it poses. Number 5 is without a doubt the most difficult ATtN episode I've arranged for my instrument so far, which makes this upload all the more rewarding! Only a couple more to go before I'll have done all of 'em:)! The Gregory Brothers' Auto-Tune the News series is great on so many levels. Musically, it's super sophisticated (great voice leading!), yet accessible. It's obviously topical and culturally relevent, too. Ummm...what else...? Oh, they're all hilarious, too! I totally love this stuff! I guess that's obvious by now. To instrumentalists, I strongly recommend learning these pieces as they are perfect ear-training fodder and great crazy-syncopated-rhythm practice. Sorry 'bout the audio/video sync issues with this vid, btw. Thanks for watching!

Post this video to facebook or twitter, then post a YT comment to possibly get a "TheMagicofCurtis" silicon wristband! I do these giveaways instead of selling the bands, so don't think I'm whoring out views. I hope you guys are willing to post a video to your facebook to probably win one (I should've said possibly...possibly haha). I'm actually probably losing money here, but all in fun =] MY LINKS: OFFICIAL FACEBOOK (who would pose as me, really?) www.facebook.com Twitterz: twitter.com Second Channel: www.youtube.com Thanks so much to Christina for the tweet and follow...and subscription.
