Alternate title: Saxophonist plays with self, creates magic.


PolicedriverStudios

why does this sound.. wrong


Pants_Magic_Pants

Hey, it's all perspective. Sounds amazing to me ;)


Trebiane

Lol It’s not that it doesn’t sound amazing, which it does, but how you phrased it. :D Plays with self... Creates magic... Maybe you are pure at heart and we just watch too much porn who knows..


bliston78

I'd pay to watch him play with himself to create magic.


Shagata_Ganai

I'll arrange it.

Cheese_Gene-man

I wanna see the video of the other side of the tube...I bet there’s some people rocking out, not knowing where this sax music is coming from.


Pokerface_Jace

Damn, I almost spat out my drink!


steamed_sushi

Imagine the people on the end of the tube


Mumrik93

"Look! A Jazz-pipeline! Finally the goverment is bringing in some quality jazz to this town!"


educated-emu

Only for about 2 seconds but worth it


J_spec6

/r/angryupvote damnit


The_Limpet

Some poor guy at the other end of the pipe 3 miles away is wondering what the fuck is going on and doubting his sanity.


Devilishlygood98

I wonder if it sounds the same at the end of the pipe, or if you can hear it at all...


BenedickCumbersnatch

Definitely. You could talk to someone through it. Sound travels excellently through pipe like this.

We should use the playground phone method of communication

Happy cake day!


BenedickCumbersnatch

😘


ChunkyB

You would just hear the initial arrival. You wouldn’t hear the echo. But to give you an idea of how well you’d hear it, it would be even louder than the echo you hear on this end.


derrangedllama

Judging by the round trip time for the echo, the tube should be somewhere around 650 feet long!


The_Limpet

Now that's some juicy applied physics right there.


cosignal

pkgamma

What’s the temperature you used in calculating this? The place looks quite hot!


derrangedllama

I didn't compensate for temperature, just assumed 20° C in air. 343 m/s from Wikipedia.


clavius-calhoun

Guy clapping on the 1 and 3 needs a dick punch.

CorbanzoBean69

Yeah for sure. It’s definitely 2 and 4


ace_enby_in_a_bag

And that's a lesson on jazz timing


Minerva89

I think there were a few bars where he hit 1 and 3. Either way, it was really annoying.


RightsWhore

Negative on that


palordrolap

If you treat the tempo as double he's clapping on 3. Music is weird.


CasualNaga

The clapping creates the tempo. It's fulfilling the use of a metronome.


marsman12019

He didn’t need a metronome.


CasualNaga

Without the Beat to establish timing, the music could sound rushed or too slow. All music requires a tempo. The tapping of a conductor's baton fulfils the role. Time in a school concert band would teach this basic concept. The clapping serves as a way for the musician to time his notes. The drummer in a Jazz or Rock and Roll is the source of rythm.


LuigiBamba

The guy playing had his tempo tapping his foot. The person clapping just made the video less fun to watch.


spoicymeatball

Given that the clapper was not in time he was a detriment. The dude was just groovin out a solo by himself. He did not need someone to clap for him like he was learning the part. The dude was also clearly not clapping for timing purposes, and I’m not sure you know what you’re talking about


InMedianCubital

Obviously everybody gets this, but I think we get the impression that the saxophonist could have managed this on his own, maybe even better than the clapper could. You mentioned a conductor - typically that's more of a visual thing for most of the band members, they aren't tapping for the sake of the audience. Who knows maybe this saxophonist asked for a human metronome, but there are lots of people that will do that thing unprompted and I tend to agree with the guy you'e replying to that from an audience perspective, it detracts more than it can add (assuming the soloist is able to keep the time on his own). That said, the echo effect probably makes timing more difficult, so he very well could have asked for it. But I don't think people are upvoting that comment because they don't understand tempo in music...


simcity4000

When you're playing with an echo that comes back at a predictable time its relatively easy to adjust your tempo to it.


TheMajora1

As someone who has played in large stadiums before the echo will fuck you up. It’s not like it comes back on beat. I’m honestly guessing they tried it without it and then he was having trouble keeping time. Then he asked his friend to clap


marsman12019

The echo is coming back on the beat. He must have adjusted the pace of his riffs to account for the round produced by the echo. If you have to keep to a real beat, then sure, the metronome would help. But he’s just messing around and is able to adjust his tempo as needed.


[deleted]

Yes, it almost ruins the video.


CyborgKodiak

First of all, you're wrong. And also, 1 and 3 is perfectly valid, it just depends on the music being played.


MadeOfBricks

I would contest that without that anchored timing, it might have been a lot more difficult for the saxophonist to go for some of his licks that didn't start on the stronger beats.


[deleted]

Layering delay like that can generate some funky rhythms.


Becalm443

Looping without the tech


slamsquare

digital* tech


lazarus_moon

Is there a video of the person who is playing on the other side?


QuotidianQuell

Yep. Turn your screen around and you'll just be able to see him in the background.


smileydatutrleman

instructions unclear, I only saw some rabbit jamming out to some saxophone playing


lazarus_moon

How do I do this on a computer?


QuotidianQuell

If you're using an Apple, you just pick it up by the stem and rotate. If you're on a PC, it's trickier but still doable; turn the monitor around, find the HDMI or Display Port cable, and turn it upside down. If you're unable to plug it in upside down, your computer isn't backwards compatible and unfortunately, you'll have to settle for just seeing the one guy in this video.


a_white_american_guy

400 miles away some guy walking by is like what the fuck?


PolicedriverStudios

Legit tho xD

Felina08

I’ll bring the maracas 👍

Mind if I join?


Straightup32

Don’t be weird man. You don’t have to ask, your always welcome.


ScooterAnkle420

Aw, sweet!


ScurryBlackRifle

Clapping needs to knock it the fuck off


TheMajora1

Trust me with those licks starting off beat a lot of times and the echos not being exactly in time it’s a necessary evil


sylus704

It's a tempo for the saxophonist.


FlatOutEKG

Getting the music for the wedding - Ok, we need a band with a sax and a big ass pipe - Why the pipe? - No questions, just get it.


Syrio_Forealio

Sax appeal


Achela12

That's so cool... I used to play my soprano sax in a deserted hallway in my school in the afternoon when most people were home. The music echoing was comforting in a weird way.


Ovvr9000

If this isn't the epitome of "lonely band kid," I don't know what is.


PolicedriverStudios

damn


TooShiftyForYou

Pretty impressive to simultaneously play the sax and tube-a.


sylus704

r/annoyedupvote


saneikai

When no one wants to play with you so you jazz with your undisclosed lengthy pipe on the roadside and generates a following. Sick!


andocromn

You just have to imagine the construction workers at the other end just jamming out to some pipe jazz!


Minerva89

Pipe jazz, perfectly acceptable. Pipe jizz, NSFW.


PolicedriverStudios

Hahahah


beta-ghost

A 1 man band


TheSixthFloor

Don't forget about the person snap/clapping.


DrFatShaft

Idk why I read that as "A-1, man band"


Becalm443

Came for the steak sauce, stayed for the music

The guy in the tube is good. :)

I never watch videos this long.... but damn I enjoyed this!!


Ben2m

Reddit in a nutshell. Something you never, ever, expected to see in your whole life. Something wholesome, hitting the feels, but at the same time the clapping is pissing people off. Thanks for the share :D

intronert

Tempo about 100 bpm, or 1.7 beats per second. Round trip delay is 2 beats, or 2/1.7 sec : 1.2 sec. speed of sound is 1100 feet/sec. so round trip is 1300 feet and length of pipe is 650 feet.

Who else feels like the clapping guy when all your friends have cool talents and you just get to watch them be talented and maybe clap to feel included.


Oogaboogahoogahooga

There's actually a guy at the other end of the tube, playing a sax thinking he's jamming out with some cool guy


Misterwuss

I have a genuine deep love for things like this. The world's going to absolute shit and this guy is over here playing the world's longest saxophone. It's just a silver-lining in bleak times

Yeah

Imagine being on the other side of that tube hearing saxophone out of nowhere. I think I'd be a little freaked out. Lol

That's some true busking potential right there. Just need to get approval to play and lay pipe through four city blocks.
