Yo Yo Ma

[kafkasapartment]

Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: IV. Sarabande (Bach).

Please click on the link to support Them, but here's an article preview!

This season’s socially-conscious pop anthem comes from a very different trio than you’re probably imagining: an Indigenous trans musician, an environmentalist drag queen, and cello legend Yo-Yo Ma. “Won’t Give Up,” streaming now on major platforms, is a collaboration between Ma, climate-conscious drag performer Pattie Gonia, and Quinn Christopherson, a transgender singer-songwriter of Ahtna Athabascan and Iñupiaq descent. According to an interview with the three in Broadway World this week, Ma first reached out to Gonia (whose real name is Wyn Wiley) to join his ongoing project, ��Our Common Nature,” which Ma describes as a “cultural journey” uniting communities with one another and the planet to promote climate action. Upon discovering she was already working on a song centered around Alaskan glaciers, the two combined their projects and brought on Christopherson, who is native to the region. Gonia sings on the track, backed up by Christopherson, who also rounds out the instrumentation with acoustic guitar.

So this is where I lived once upon a time and I wrote a little something about it.

Yo Yo Ma

[its-a-gold-song]

why haven’t i seen anyone talk about the yo yo ma cameo in glass onion it’s the most well-placed cameo i’ve ever seen

[starry-blue-echoes]

What was originally just meant to be a funny post about the Stone Ocean side of the Star Swap that somehow turned out to be actually plot-relevant:

What if, during the Yo-Yo Ma “fight”, Jonathan is just… nice to the stand? In canon, when Yo-Yo Ma appears, everyone is immediately violent towards and because they suspect it has evil intentions (to be fair, it does), and are overall very rude to stand. So what if in Star Swap Stone Ocean, when Yo-Yo Ma shows up and acts all humble, Jonathan’s victorian gentlemen behaviour kicks in and he gets Anasui and Foo Fighters to stop attacking it, and gives a whole speech about how servants deserve to be treated as kindly as anyone else. And what if Jonathan’s kindness actually moves Yo-Yo Ma’s to the point where he calls off his stand’s attack?

…. Okay so to be honest, I originally index’s this to just be a funny “ha ha look at how nice Jonathan is”, but in writing this I realize that it would actually significantly change things. If Jonathan manages to befriend Yo-Yo Ma, that means that Foo Fighters never leaves to kill the user, which means that they never directly encounter Pucci, which means that Foo Fighters gets to live for a little longer in this AU.  It probably doesn’t end well for the user of Yo-Yo Ma, since the moment Pucci learns of his betrayal, he can just take his stand and memories away and find out where “Jolyne” and the others are, meaning some variation of the fight against Pucci in the swamp still happens.  But since they where never subjected to the boiling water stand,  Foo Fighters is much less injured and might not die in the fight. 

Oooooooooooooooooo that's a really fun idea to mess around with actually

because like. Yo-yo Ma is I think the first (possibly only?) sentient automatic Stand we've seen, so like........ theoretically couldn't Yo-yo Ma disobey D an G's orders? To an extent at least??? Because as we've seen in the past, beyond their preset instructions Automatic Stands can't be directly controlled by their Users, and from wha I remember Yo-yo Ma is capable of making some decisions by itself

and just. You're absolutely right, Jonathan would 100% welcome Yo-yo Ma with open arms and kindness without hesitation. Foo, Atroe and Anasui find it kinda weird and aren't fully sold, but none of them say anything about it because none of them want to make Jojo upset, so they settle for silently threatening Yo-yo Ma with severe bodily harm should it lay a single finger on him when Jojo isn't looking

And who knows, maybe another thing that sway Yo-yo Ma to their side is Foo. Foo can open Yo-yo Ma's eyes to the fact that it doesn't have to do everything it's User tells it to, it can make it's own decisions and live life the way it wants

Pucci is definitly going to be angry about this specific development, and for the angst of it I love the idea of him taking Yo-yo Ma's disc when he finds out. Jonathan and the rest watching Yo-yo Ma crumbling to dust before their eyes, promising they'll bring it back somehow no matter what, that they won't let Pucci get away with this

And slightly switching gears from Yo-yo Ma to Foo and Atroe, them being there for everything with the Green Baby is going to make things interesting, specifically for when Pucci shows up. The duo's whole...... everything is actually going to make them something of a dfficult match for Pucci to fight, since as far as we've seen he can only use his ability on one person at a time, and while they're sharing a body they're still two seperate beings. If he tries to take Foo's disc, Atroe can just. Push it back in, and vice versa if he tried to take Atroe's

however, that isn't to say they'd have an easy win, or even be able to win at all. Whitesnake is still very powerful and Foo and Atroe are reliant on Atroe's body being in fighting condition so if she gets too beat up they're in trouble

but also another thought: what if Jonathan taught Atroe hamon. After all, Foo Fighters goes with hamon just as well as The Passion does with everything it does with water, and Foo...... doesn't exactly have lungs to use it themself. Plus, it would also give Atroe a reliable way to defend herself if she ever gets separated from Foo or if Foo's down for the count

why did I bring this up? Because I think it would be really funny if Pucci succesfully removed Foo's disc only to immediatley get punched in the face by a Hamon Boosted Punch

Hi Rose!

I've seen that you've reblogged a music ask game recently and couldn't resist. So here comes 28 & 16 from me! 🎶

16:One of your favorite classical songs

I have amore than a couple and I have a strong preference for two instruments. You know about the piano and the other one is the Cello. So I'm gonna go really basic with this one because although very famous is one of my favourite pieces of all time played by the greatest cellist of all time.

And I love this video because we can nature as the background sound. It's really soothing to me.

28:A song by an artist with a voice that you love

So many voices that I love though. It's really hard to pick one. I'm gonna go with one that was actually recommended to me by someone here. Thank you @twig-tea.

Her voice is incredible. She has such a good control and I love how she uses it to express different emotions in the song.

MUSIC ASKS these are actually pretty fucking hard but why not.

posted by yo-yo ma in march 2020. haven't been able to find a recording I've liked even a fraction as much as his solo cello, so i converted it to an mp3 so i could have it in my playlists. it comes from dvorak's symphony no9 in e minor - from the new world, 2nd movement

--

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort is Dvořák's “Going Home.” Stay safe.

Notes from the #bachproject • Melbourne, Australia, November 2019 // "Here I am at the Coming Back Out Ball! The fabulous All the Queens Men host this regular celebration for LGBTQI elders, to combat loneliness and unite the community across generations. It was so much fun playing movements from Bach’s suites as dances (which they were originally) and my first ever cover of “I Will Survive…”
