What are ( or Who is) "2 Cello's?" Are
they merely 2 acoustically mellow musical instruments the sounds of which are generated by a bow held in the hand opposite the hand which manipulates the strings along a 'board' somewhat similar in appearance to a fretboard on a guitar? In the hands of ummm... say YO YO MA this instrument is transformed into a gateway of a world filled with the sublime. We think of babbling brooks, waterfalls, sunrises and sunsets, and perhaps even lying down on a dark night void of light pollution and beholding the Awesome Wonder of a Creator Who could possess the power to create all of these wonders; and on top of that gift us with the splendor of music & and iTunes to make music so readily acquirable then WOW!!! Yeah, I get excited because as I watch endless science TV Shows. And without exception whenever a scientist used the words "Beauty, Sublime, Elegant, etc," He or She is 100% of the time referring to a mathematical equation.
So, you must be thinking, what's all this gibberish to do with 2 Cellos?" We'll then . . . Here Goes:
1) Dare I touch bow to strings on any
Cello I"d be lynched by the entire
Hood. (& rightly so)
2) While my earlier description of
2 Cellos was indeed correct; 2
wooden instruments remain useless
Unless taken into the hands of
someone who can create artful
Self-expression with them. And
then to share that art in a relational
Way with the society of which they
Are a part,
3) 2 CELLOS is a hep new duo whose
approach to playing their chosen
Instrument is in itself quite daring.
Not having heard much of their
stuff I feel confident that will not
Disappoint. While their weapons
are acoustic their record is
definitely NOT! These guys are
backed by musicians packing
beacoup amps.
4) About Yo Yo Ma < > About 2 Cellos
Different styles...(I grew-up on
Rock, Soul, Classic Rock [that
whole '60s thing], both artfully
creative.
And in the end I give 2 Cellos the highest possible rating for talent, originality, and because they are another band that confirms that whatever awesome, necessary
Self-Existent Being created all time,
space (time-space), and matter in the
universe, It must be a Personal Being.
Why, because it becomes very clear that this Being truly digs music! That
is too awesome to comprehend. Just like when you call your buddy and tell him about this awesome new band you
just found on iTunes; The Creator has made certain that we would have music
here during our lives on earth. And any
artist that can communicate on that
level is a 5 Star Artist! So get 2 Cellos
on the download, plug-in the earbuds, and enjoy.
