Uncommon Temperament began a long time ago in 2009 and we’re living for these amazing artifacts from 2009-2013.

Start with this incredible unfiltered audience reaction overheard on our zoom recorder after a concert we did at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 2011:

good and hilarious audience review
Uncommon Temperament

"--that's pretty freaking impressive dood...hmm? that's pretty freaking impressive...for my first live experience of classical music, dood, I mean, that was--" "oh it's your first time?" "--first time I've seen anything like that live--" "really?! really! ...ok! cool! how nice!" "--wow...yeah, that was uh...kind of uh...mind--eye-opening? y'know what I'm saying?!"

(pause)

"oh that's a recorder next to you..." "it is..."

(slight pause)

Friends: "What?" "What did you say?"

And here’s a precious video from our first or second concert ever in 2009, when we still only had modern instruments!

Names of performers redacted because 17 years have passed and these are serious adults now, but that rawwww music making is absolute fire <3
