I feel like Rhubarb is a bit like "finding peace in resignation". It's lamenting, yes, but it's also strangely peaceful. It's like your emotions finding some ground to stand on after crying. And now, we have the orchestrated reversed version, which sounds like the opposite, a continuous rising that, in the end, goes nowhere. Reaching out, but never really soaring. It tries to get up and fly, but it's strained, troubled and there's this underlying feeling that it will never take off. It really is the complementary companion piece to the original.

It seems that fundamentally a lot of it links to a spatio-temporal representation of notes which represents a deep familiarity with how different chords can create a sense of dissonance, and that isolation is represented through the sense of hope being lost and the isolated frequencies… aphex twin is the king of communicating meaning through form and form through meaning

i find it hard to believe aphex twin was thinking about harmonic progression and voice leading when he created this progression, but an interesting perspective nonetheless

This guy rules

Rolled off frequencies also denote distance, further developing the feeling of isolation :)

Hi Peter, thank you for such a valuable lesson. Im just a beginner and I have a very specific goal. I want to learn playing synths but Im kinda lost at the moment on what should I practice. There are tons of videos out there on practicing piano (Scale, Hand Coordination Technique, etc), but there's very few to none that focusing on how to play synths. Your Rhubarb video is definitely very inspiring to me! What technique that you think is the most important and usable to be practiced and mastered on my synths journey?

I've really enjoyed this

For me the chord progression of Lana del Rays "video games" sounds very similar to this piece. Am I wrong or is there something behind it?

Can you do a tutorial on how to get this sound?

this song smells like chlorine.

I’ve seen a lot of theatrical interpretations on UA-cam of Pink Floyd The Wall, I have to say that this one is probably my least favorite having said that, though it does have some really cool moments unfortunately unfortunately not enough of them, I really like how they worked in the dancers in certain spots they probably should’ve used them more Comfortably Numb would’ve been a great spot for the dancers that was kind of a missed opportunity. Another thing out of all the theatrical interpretations that I have found only one in my opinion got the fascist rally bit, right. Also, I do see a lot of comments of people criticizing the singer, I think he’s a good singer just not the right person for a production like this. He definitely struggles with the higher points of the album and also he’s really not much of an actor at least for my perspective. The trial was spot on. They got the characters right and that was amazing to watch. Also, I am so glad that they did not use a movie projector with the animated trial from the Pink Floyd concert and the movie. In conclusion, I will say this is a flawed masterpiece. Attached below is the link to my favorite production of The Wall this is the one I was telling you about where they got the fascist bit, right. ua-cam.com/video/2B0XjkZ4Ceo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

Hi I notice you haven't uploaded in a while, you should definitely do more videos like these it was great! thanks

Εξαιρετική ανάλυση!

What a soothing video :)

Awesome explanation, cheers

also just finished this and just have to say, fantastic analysis!

is this home and journey analogy common? the other day i had watched a video randomly that mentioned it and then spent an hour trying to find it again a few days later. and not your video, one i'm kind of sure i hadn't see before is mentioning the exact same thing and worded almost exactly the same. the deja vu is real right now haha, even checked my history to be sure

Really enjoyed watching this video, woulda loved to see a similar kind of assessment on stone in focus

"You don't hear it but your brain does." Excellent analysis 👏

I kinda makes sense that the best music teachers wouldn’t also have big youtube channels. You are the best tho xx Keep teaching or youtubing or doing things as well as you have done in this video at any rate. 🫶

I swear everytime i listen 2 seconds of this song i feel depressed hahaha. It just throws a musical spell on me.

fascinating thing is that james knew none of the theory that you’re explaining here - just got there by feeling and exploring

make more stuff like this!

Why what Feel It baby ❤

It's just perfect

I'm sitting here crying over music theory.

I imagine a different top note on the last chord

Thank you❤

really cool, thanks for sharing.

It’s worth noting Aphex is very much into “avant- grade” sound artists… which is probably why he tried doing the sleep thing. I’ve always wondered if he’s truly technical about theory or is he simply a born Prodigy. I’d probably go with the latter.

It's still the I,IV,V,VI which is the most used chords in all pop music

I am producing a retrospective film on Roger Waters. Could I please ask permission to maybe use a small clip of this video? Kind regards Barry

I get so emotional anytime i see covers of popular electronic/ambient music. People can talk as much shit as they want about electronic production but the fact is these tunes and these chords will live on, wether its in our heads, made on computer, or covered with real instruments they are all beautiful and the meaning remains.

How to create this beautiful sound/tone ? I wish one day to have a keyboard, and play this tune, exactly how the album version sounds like

Thank you! Great explanation! Would be great if you could explain Roygbiv by the Boards of Canada.

one could also argue this is in D lydian.

this chord progression is so inspirational to me

I think the minor key is psychological/cultural. Other musical traditions associate certain minor key songs with happiness.

Please make another lesson

I'm not a musician but closest I can think of is how colour works on the soul. If you look at the colour combinations of Matisse they are quite musical. It is very odd how these elements, sound or colour have some innate correspondence to what we might call moods. You can see the religious element singing and so on in most cultures. I think Itten was exploring these kinds of things in his Bauhaus teachings on form and colour.

It's evocative, it gets the people going

I love how your analysis is driven by emotion and admiration towards the piece, not just a pure theoretical dissection of notes

Chord progressions based around the 6 when minor or 4 when major often evoke a lot of feeling

Explaining this extraordinary emotional music is extraordinary emotional.

Ahh yes. The Mobius loop from which there is no escape. I hear that when we reach that point, whatever happened will happen again.

This track is outrageously beautiful with only this simple melody, it’s like it’s sacred or something

Nice analysis. Ive always understood this intuitively, but its nice to be able to put words to it. Though im pretty sure rdj would never explain it like that. I think he just has a godlike natural musical intuition

Thank you

I am sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I think you completely mix the chord 'functions'. I don't think you can call D major a 6th - it would rather be a 4th, as your tonal centre is rather A major than F# minor (they are strongly related anyway). I have got your point and technically you may be right but you will confuse many people this way. If you call A major a 3rd - this is completely wrong. It is not a 3rd. But as I said - I don't mean to be rude. We all love the same music, don't we? Peace.
