    Sheesh, this was an excellent topic and good presentation. I didn't quite get the difference between music complexity and tonality (in terms of time based perception altering implementation) as I lack the necessary background of even basic music theory, but I got the big picture. Never knew this music had so much going for it but now that you've explained, it does make quite a lot of sense. Looking forward to more content like this, I'd definitely be watching!

    It's a great video and really interesting. I just had a really hard time listening to it due to the way you talked in this. Sorry if it sounds mean. I know you're not a professional when it comes to narrating. But would you be able to try and improve the way you talk? Something about the tone bothers me. You sound extremely artificial when you pronounce things. I'm having a hard time explaining this so I hope you understand. You don't have to change how you speak but I'd be very appreciative if you tried to improve on that. I definitely want to see more videos about this kind of stuff though so thank you. Hopefully I didn't come off too harsh.
