I am a cellist in the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. I also play the piano a bit and make videos for fun. 🎻
Never Gonna Gifugue Up 🕺🎤 - A 4 voice fugue, but you got rickrolled
🎹 Sheet music transcription: payhip.com/b/JKcSC
Following the fun of "Barbie Girl in the Style of 6 Classical Composers" last summer, the series of fugues based on annoying tunes was due for a sequel.
This time, the contrapuntal throwback takes us to the '80s with Rick Astley’s hit “Never Gonna Give You Up”-famous in its day and even more popular thanks to Internet meme culture and the "rick-rolling" frenzy of the early 2000s.
I've developed the irritatingly infectious short initial motive of the tune into a 4 voice fugue, showcasing the structure with motion graphics and light-hearted commentary. As for the animations, I have also been experimenting with new callout box styles with running parts of the score-I hope they enhance the visualisation of the music!
Also, make sure to check out the behind-the-scenes video that Robin and Isak created for this production to get a glimpse of the creative process we went through: ua-cam.com/video/_nzgTQ9JE3Y/v-deo.html&themeRefresh=1. Robin and Isak are currently working on a documentary about my life as a musician, which is part of a captivating series featuring some truly fascinating individuals as well as me. Stay tuned for the full documentary-it’s almost here!
Enjoy the video. 😊

🎹 Sheet music transcription: payhip.com/b/oaYNA On the day of the ”Barbie” film premiere and almost exactly one year after my Barbie Girl Fugue (ua-cam.com/video/qsE7H6YPfco/v-deo.html), nothing less could be expected than a follow-up! In the same educational spirit as in the previous videos, this video serves as a parodic and slightly critical take on one of the most well-known tunes from the ...

🎹 Sheet music transcription: payhip.com/b/PH20D After the Barbie Girl Fugue (ua-cam.com/video/qsE7H6YPfco/v-deo.html), it was time for more fugal nostalgia, this time from the 2010s! For this video, I wrote, played, and recorded a three-part invention in fugato style based on a short but very recognizable motif from the Angry Birds game soundtrack. I tried to showcase the contrapuntal structure...
"Let me do it for you", but it's a double fugue 🐶 - Josep Castanyer Alonso

A double fugue on the theme of the “Let me do it for you” long nose dog meme. The first time I heard this eerily catching tune it instantly pulled at my heartstrings: the slightly forced voice in the falsetto register, the rising major 10th on the piano and the watery eyes of a borzoi dog…I was not surprised at all by the meme rapidly becoming a part of Internet culture. Here I have transformed...

🎹 Sheet music transcription: payhip.com/b/n7A96 After the overwhelming success of the Swedish ice-cream truck fugue (ua-cam.com/video/ZV0e7vd0mL8/v-deo.html), it was about time to transform yet another famous tune into a fugue. Few pop songs are as catchy as Aqua's hit "I'm a Barbie girl". Here, it becomes a three part fugue, following its traditional structure and backed with some explanatory ...
Writing and playing a three voice fugue on the Swedish ice-cream truck! 🎹 - Josep Castanyer Alonso

Glassbilsfuga! A fun way to refresh my composition and video editing 🎬 skills. Ever since I moved to Sweden, I kept hearing this sticky jingle, especially in warm summer afternoons. It took me 2 whole years to go ahead and ask a dear friend what in the world this sound was. It turns out it is “glassbilen”, the ice-cream truck. 🍦🚚 So, when at the beginning of the year I challenged myself to comp...

Absolutely magnificent, one of the best performances I have heard, combines not only expertise in piano and in the styles of all the musicians involved, but also a very fine humour with much good taste, which is rather uncommon. Congratulations.
You, sir, are a fantastic human being, a genius of tremendous proportions. Thank you for perfectly demonstrating the inherent fun of classical music. Your brilliance delights us all.
Great writing! Loved it. Bach would be proud.
Wow, great job!
So great ❤
I will never mind getting rickrolled by this.
Quality content. Love it.
You had me at *bonk*
Això ha estat increïble. Enhorabona.

Meu Deus! 😃
Those tremelo's must be hard to get right.
Brilliant!
Amazing 😍
This is definitly one of the best videos on youtube
Wow!
Fantastic
I had some classic composing lessons in school - but learning it this way is way more fun! :)
Loved it. You have great talent and dedication.
Did the Pathetique Sonata first movement inspire a lot of the Beethoven part? I play it and it sounds really similar
Wow....fun, brilliant. Great job.
Great! Loved the "tendenitis incoming"!
Bach-bee girl, what about toccata?
I don't like the song, but what you did with it is amazing. Great work!
The counterpoint is amazing
The Steinway & Birds on the piano at the beginning is a nice touch
that was ... amazing. You just, what, made it up as you go? Or did you at least write it down and planned the sequence of composer-mods to apply on the popsong?
Z przyjemnością lajkuję i zaznaczam subskrypcję! :D dziękuję
All parts are good, but I love the Ravel-part.
Mozart was charming! :)
wow, brilliant arrangement, brilliant playing, brilliant production
I love it!! :D :D
