Earlier quoted context omitted.

That doesn’t automatically mean they’ll just change their name and continue going, it could also mean they’ll part ways but continuing releasing stuff under their individual names, or with other people, or doing something different together.

Go here https://www.youtube.com/@twosetviolin/videos and click on their channel info: seems like they are now twosetacademy

I wonder if they're going to put their content behind a subscription or paywall somehow.

This is a bit bizarre; why would any musician take down their own recordings, where they continue to earn advertising revenue and gain fans? Even if they were planning to sell the recordings to a record label for some anniversary album, it would be daft to close down their main publicity channel. Very mysterious...

There's more to art than simply producing commodities to consume.

Didn’t expect this to show up on hackernews! Didn’t know there were so many lingling fans here.

They realized the same thing that Davie504 and other musicians did: that music itself is fine, but it will be much more interesting if one spices it with a bit of humor.

I miss the old setup but at the same time I can't wait to see what's next.

Another famous example of this is the KLF who did they same. They also set fire to 1 million pound sterling of their royalties at the same time, so it was more an art thing than a bad business decision.

They time limited it to 23 years or the establishment of world peace, whichever came first, so it's available on streaming services now, though sadly not as a result of world peace.

I also appreciated commentary from professional violinists about soloist performance and why they’re so technically and musically good

>This will be the last piece of content we post *as TwoSet Violin*. It’s been a wild ride with you all for the last 11 years. We’ve all grown up together and it’s kinda surreal that we’re *ending our chapter here*.

It sure looks like they are just moving to a different platform, one that doesn't want their stuff on YouTube for free.

Apparently this was a bad opinion, oops.
