Sounds amazing! How do you generate the graphics for these videos? I like the animations... And what convention do you follow to determine what accidental symbols to use?
that's a really great question, and there are a couple reasons. for example, every time you see a 2 or a collection of 2s, you know a harmonic is an octave of another harmonic. likewise, a 3 will tell you it had a relationship of a perfect fifth, so it shows at a glance that, for example, the 9th harmonic is the 3rd of the 3rd (or the perfect 5th of the perfect 5th in conventional terms), or the 21st is the 7th of the 3rd (or the 7th of the perfect 5th in conventional terms). finally, each prime has (arguably) a kind of unique sonic identity. it makes a little more sense to do this in the 5-limit interval comparison videos i do, since those numbers get REALLY big but are just made up of simple interactions of 2 and 3 and 5. It might not be immediately obvious what harmonic relationship 375 has, but knowing that it's 3•5•5•5 makes it clear
2:16 most frightening jumpscare of 2023
I thought that first 20/9 was the most beautiful chord in this piece, and then you hit us with that 16/7 out of nowhere. Ugh, gorgeous...
I like how the 10th ninth is slightly a tenth 😊
9ths are always a good way to spend my 9 o'clock hour, the switch from 9/4 to 20/9 and back is so nice.
at around 0:35 I was waiting for an absolutely mindblowing beat to drop
every time i feel like im getting the hang of microtones mannfishh uploads and i feel like i know nothing again
🐟🐟🐟
pretty cool how much that 9/4 sticks out from the rest
ahhh the 16/7 one
just amazing
7th harmonic always hits the hardest
*subharmonic
Frightening yet calming.
that 9/4 got me ascending
brilliant. It reminds me of String theory of sound if there is such a thing thank you
simply fantastic
this is trippy
Don't let Jacob Collier get his hands on this.
Dying for Jacob Collier to use even just the 11-limit
i love your stuff
2:16 had me
So beautiful, I cherish each of your videos! Are you using SWAM for the instruments?
beautiful
Really great work once again Mannfish! So when can we get you on an episode of Now and Xen?

There’s a link at the bottom of the description where you can read about the notation, it’s the helmholtz ellis just intonation system.
How come you write each harmonic as a product of primes on the left?
I’m kind of new to the nitty-gritty of acoustics and spectralism😅

it makes a little more sense to do this in the 5-limit interval comparison videos i do, since those numbers get REALLY big but are just made up of simple interactions of 2 and 3 and 5. It might not be immediately obvious what harmonic relationship 375 has, but knowing that it's 3•5•5•5 makes it clear
It might be to show which parts of the chord are three-limit, five-limit, etc
@@mannfishh that makes perfect sense! Thanks for the answer
@@ChrisChapin_chapes yes, that seems to be one aspect of it

I'm too stupid to understand any of this but it sounds cool
could you tell, please, how do you choose timbres?
