  • Dynamic Invisibility

    Posted by jumpinjeff on March 15, 2022 at 10:06 am

    I found dynamic invisibility doing today’s lesson. I was able to strike the string in a manner and at the same time as Tony’s video so that regardless of what volume I had the video playing I could make Tonys’s sound disappear. Doing this at will is a huge win for me. I have been walking down the path towards this for a long while and I am just super pumped to have come to this clearing.

    Glad to hear that you see some progress. It just takes time, it all gets better from here. 🙂

      Just when I think it can’t possibly get any better, it does. This is such a useful learning method.

    Great job @jumpinjeff . I often try this same feat when using the metronome. You know you’re on beat when the sound cancels out.

      So so right Loraine. I have been able to do it for a while in fits and starts but being able to do it at will, with different volumes, and for 10 focused minutes is new and exciting.

    This is actually a pretty big win. Getting control of dynamics is really essential to playing well. Good going

    Why did you wanna make Tony’s sound disappear…? What you saying Jeff…?

      When you put it that way I see what you mean @Fletch . I love those atonal chromatic tones that play over and over, almost monastic, if you will. And in the end…who’s tone disappears? Maybe both tones disappear and simultaneously neither tone disappears, the tones are reborn as a single unified sound each indistinguishable from the other in perfect harmony. Kinda like how it was when we played Mother together. Thinking back, that probably is not a good comparison as it was more of an exercise in perfect imperfection. Still made me cry when I heard the finished result. Tears of joy my friend in case you were thinking otherwise. Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb?

        I think he’s crazy enough Jeff… 😟 Especially if we don’t give him an Out… (Never back an angry animal into a corner if you don’t want it to bite you…)

        The canines are already in, how much shaking will occur remains to be seen. In today’s world sometimes having the wound is better than inflicting the wound. Turn the other cheek and all. Not to be confused with cheeky. Still is feeling like a bit of a mouse trap in the most disassociated way. Life and death are real but not in a simulation. Still feels like Schwaub is playing a big Xbox game and I am trying hard to avoid being linked into it where I am moved around by him. Gotta be a song in there somewhere. Hiding in electronic shadows.
