cello classical music playing popular regarded
Because in classical music cello is not regarded as a popular choice, it's always playing the long, boring notes.
cello classical finesse hardest human instrument rock sing takes technique versatile
The cello is such a versatile instrument. It can rock like the hardest rock guitar, and it can sing like the human voice. We couldn't do what we do without the classical training. It's a hard instrument to play. There are no frets, and it takes finesse and technique to play.
possibilities
Don't wait for someone to call you up. You can do anything. You have all the possibilities in the world.
cello sing
A cello can sound like so many instruments, but it's only one, you know, like a guitar; it has percussive qualities. It can sing like the violin, you know, like a voice.
cello good playing sounds tune
We tune differently, and we use some tricks. There's just the two of us for much of a concert, so we want a big sound. We do use some guitar effects, distortion and delay. Playing cello with distortion sounds so good.
cello classical music respect violin
Even in classical music, the cello doesn't get a lot of respect because the piano and the violin get it all.
people
Of course, there will always be, you know, conservative classical people who will judge you, but you know, who cares about them?
family
I started playing when I was 5. I'm from a family of musicians.
bass cello closest high human low range sound
The range of the cello is so big, it can play as low as the double bass and as high as the violin. It has the perfect shape, and its sound is the closest to the human voice.
connect covers mix musical people powerful spin straight surprised word work worlds
We want to connect all these musical worlds together. We just improvise; we know straight away if its going to work or not. They're not covers - I hate the word cover. We do a transcription: mix it up, put our own spin on it. I think people will be surprised how powerful our show is.
acquire classical lack pulse strength
Many classical musicians lack pulse and rhythmical strength and precision, so for us it was very important to acquire and learn those.
cello people possibilities
People don't think of cello as a rock instrument, really, and we want people to know all the possibilities that the cello can offer.
cello classical draw great order possibilities sound younger
We wanted to make a powerful cello sound in order to show to the world the possibilities of the cello and to use it in a different way than the classical way they are used to. We wanted to play something exciting, something crazy, something to draw younger generations to this great instrument.
likes romantic swim walks
I like to swim a lot, while Stjepan likes to take long walks with girls. He's the very romantic type. Yes, musicians are romantic.
