i would have been very interested to hear a legitimate explanation of how you created the fugue.
an earnest attempt on your part to describe your methods to, perhaps, an audience of intelligent and interested unschooled musicians would have yielded a stable platform for your humor.

instead, you chose to make a joke of the absence of an explanation, which i find to be prankish more than humorous, in that it renders the title merely a cheap ploy to garner an audience.
in your overlapping ... ( 2 weeks ago by SvenTwelve)
in your overlapping the explanations into a mish-mosh of unintelligible jibberish, you are snydely and sneakily implying "the theory behind this is too complicated for you fools in the audience to understand". seeing this, it is clear your ulterior motive in creating this video is simply to exalt yourself before others.
in light of this, your humor is shown to be merely camouflage for your narcissism.

nonetheless, i was very impressed with your humor, your fugue, and your performance of the fugue. it was quite excellent overall, and it truly shined in many places.
i apologize for being harsh, and i truly hope that you won't be offended or hurt by my criticism, and that you will rather find in my criticism some realistic insight that will help you create even better art. keep up the good work. - sventwelve

I have to admit, the best part of that video was the Brandenburg 4 fade out. Only Bach knows how to write Fugues :P

Sven -- This was a film school project. There was a 5 minute time limit. You can't really explain how to write fugues in 5 minutes. The only intended audience was a class of 30 fellow film students. I did not initially intend to post it on youtube, and I certainly didn't expect to teach 156,000 viewers how to write a fugue. It's always more interesting to show than tell, anyway. That said, I might actually do a genuine "how to" at some point, considering the interest this video has garnered.

Or, perhaps, he was merely making light of what many consider an impenetrable discipline. It's ironic how little self-awareness some people have. You, for example, are utterly oblivious to the fact that this entire pathetic pop psychology explanation reveals tons about your own insecurity (based on how you interpreted something whose reasoning you could NOT HAVE POSSIBLY KNOWN) and nothing about his "narcissism." In other words, you just announced to the world you're a touchy, insecure wreck. :)
Incidentally, I ... ( 2 weeks ago by shpua2010)
Incidentally, I just realized, I wouldn't be shocked to find out you're one of the has-been "professors" who teach this stuff in universities 'cause they can't accomplish anything in the real world.

please apply your own reasoning to your interpretation of my prior comment. inasmuch as you are correct in stating that i have no way to know the reasoning behind the video, you have no way to know the reasoning behind my comment. perhaps i was making light of [substitute anything].

thus, you can't simultaneously assert that, (1.) i have no basis for extrapolating information about daniel from his video, and (2.) you do have a basis for extrapolating information about me from my comment.
how little self-awareness you have, you touchy, insecure wreck (;

in actual fact, all of my youtube comments are strictly rhetorical performance art.
i'm presently experimenting with a new tack. whereas previously i would have tried merely to be obnoxious and cleverly obscene, i am now attempting to dig deeper for pain by plumbing the depths of my intuition for clues and then spouting a raft of nasty, seemingly plausible psycho-babble.

i loved the bitchy logic of your response, so i have endeavored to address your comment openly, honestly, and faithfully, you hard-up, goat-penis milker.

It's called matting. Any video editing program can do it. You can do it with three photos and a pair of scissors. Put a still camera on a tripod, and take three photos, each with you in a different position against the same background. Then cut the three photos and paste together -- the backgrounds will match, because you didn't move the camera between shots. Stupid and easy, no?
