Bo****:

Bet he can't do guitar hero on expert though.

Di*************:

I want my time back.

Iv**********:

I'm don't like / understand all of these modern arts, but the moral of this speech is very valuable.

Ki******:

This man structured his TED talk about music into verses and choruses. Beautiful.

Fu****************:

I just heard him talk about how good he is and then he played a childs toy from a dr suess book

aw************:

"The mad scientist of Music" well that would be Frank Zappa..

Ky*********:

Is Mayonnaise an instrument? Yes Patrick, yes it is.

Ja**********:

Wintergatan: am I a joke to you

Gu******:

I was expecting to hear some interesting good music composed by him
But now i realize why the title is "MAD" scientist

De*******:

sounds exactly like what i hear when im in a quiet room on acid lol

Ni******:

And yet, not a single cowbell.

Me**************:

Zappa explored like this and did similar work, but it was more cohesive.

se****:

oh. when he drilled through the book i cried.

De******:

I really love his approach of "I don't care if they like it as long as I like it"

Cl************:

homie sweatin bullets

Im*****:

I love how he re discovered dancing and called it music

St*********:

did it stimulate my brain? yes. but it did not find resonance.

Gu************:

This inspired me to create my own sound effects for a video. My definition of music is sounds organized to be pleasing to the ear and enjoyable to the listener. The sounds he makes are sound effects and really cool but not my definition of music. Sound effects vs. musical sounds--2 different things. This is not a criticism, just an observation. What he's doing is really inspiring and cool. Not all of it sounds musical to me it but could be used as part of a musical project.

Me******:

This is like when Ross was trying to make "music" on Friends

Ja********:

I like to think of this as a conscious, meta talk on the inherent narcissism and pretentiousness of giving a TED talk, barely veiled as something about musical theory.

Ro**********:

well, a pure intellectual exercise. I like music that can speak to my heart, not only to my brain... Is this music? Depends how you define music!

Da*************:

I really like weird stuff, but I was really confused. Some of his stuff is music, some of it is confusing. I won't say its trash, but I will say he is interesting and like some of the stuff he did, or has done. Not sure why this is listed in Weird al's playlist lol.

Gu**************:

He looks like the mad scientist from Independance Day !

An**********:

I feel he’d make good friends with Les Claypool

Pn****:

The number of people whinging that this music doesn't appeal to them... pretty sure he said he makes this music to keep himself interested...

Al*******:

Three conductors with no players is my favorite piece of his <3

Cy*******:

Guy: "Don't be afraid to take risks and explore ideas you find interesting which may fall outside of the conventional scope of your field."

Youtube commenters: "Different! DIFFEREEEEENT!!!"

Ki***********:

this guy has talent.. I can see his point. breaking the mold in music, at first as in most things is laughed at. then respected and desired.
the human brain and body can and will need more than sound to increase the musical disire

Ti************:

I was a music student when he was at UCSD- I remember the pretentiousness being real but a lot of it is due to him being an incredible musician and working on a level I could not appreciate. I sang in a group on one of his early choral compositions under his direction and it was strange stuff but he obviously knew exactly what he wanted out of us and it wasn't random sounds to him- there was definite order to his apparent chaos. He kept up with Ed Harkins, Phil Larson, Bert Turetzky, George Lewis, and Vinny Golia in improvisations I witnessed at UCSD and that's a tall order. Sometimes this kind of music is like modern art where it looks crazy simple or absolutely random but you realize that the performer/artist can do incredibly crafted conventional pieces- but they choose to do what they do for reasons most don't understand. I think it is funny that he followed the standard "weird music" concert format where the performer/composer/group comes out and crushes a standard (ie his Beethoven piano playing) then does their weird sounding stuff afterwards as a "proof" they're not just bad at playing. It's like a very early realist Picasso being displayed next to his late work.

Bo****************:

Being an artist you have to stand firm next to your vision and Mark stands very strongly next to his . All artist do. And by him doing so puts him out there to be judged and criticized by other artists . How narcissistic and egotistical to gang up against him and say he's wrong .
If you don't agree then just do that and move on. Maybe I'm just a more accepting person of be and let be . I definitely do not judge people who are brave enough to vocalize their perspective especially if they're vocalizing it for for everybody to hear. Thank for reading my opinion and respecting the fact that's just what it is my opinion
