Tool, Lateralus - A Classical Musician’s First Listen and Reaction

Video Description

Would it sound pleasant? Or would it be super-modern-dissonant as some other mathematically-inspired works I know? Would it be musically compelling, or would it make me feel like I needed to work a page of calculations in order to appreciate it? This song has been recommended to me so many times in the past months that I simply lost count, and now, finally, I am experiencing it for the first time! Here’s the link to the original song by Tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG63IuaWs&ab_channel=TOOLVEVO _________________________ If you want me to do a First Listen and In-depth Analysis of YOUR song of choice, or if you want an exclusive 1:1 session where I can answer your questions, dig deeper into a topic, or even coach you in your musical experience, such as a music theory, piano, or harp lesson, singing, music reading, etc, follow this link: https://ko-fi.com/amyshaferarts/commissions If you want more, join my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VirginRock Twitter: https://twitter.com/VirginRockMusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginrockchannel/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/VirginRockChannel/ Special thanks to those who are keeping my ko-fi cup supplied: I’ve formed the habit of publishing all the names of my supporters simply because I appreciate your appreciation of my work, and I want to recognize each one of you personally.
