I think the reason for why Eddie doesn't hear what Brett hears is because (and I'm not sure if I remember correctly) but people with perfect pitch have more trouble distinguishing between notes of different octaves compared to people without perfect pitch because they focus more on the pitch itself (or pitch chroma). And that could also explain why Eddie had no difficulty with the "Mystery Melody" and Brett did because the different octaves didn't really affect what pitch Eddie could hear but it did for Brett. Man this is the smartest I've felt since the start of the year.
I found he ilusion of the scrambled notes really interesting. I revealed to me that to people with perfect pitch melodies are a succesion of notes (that's why Eddy can identify them, even with the notes in different octaves), but to most people (with no perfect pitch) melodies are recognized by being a succesion of intervals between the notes. In my case, I had no idea what the melodies were until they played them in their normal pitch. On the other hand, I saw the dalmatian instantly...
@@sofanofafalafel2890 Right, it's just another way to perceive sound. People with perfect tend to not be able to tell which pitch is higher than another.
With the tritones one I can hear both ascending and descending simultaneously, like a chord progression where the left hand (if it was on piano) is going up and the right hand is going down. I'm pretty sure that's literally how the illusion is created. With the octaves illusion, it sounds like Brett describes if I play it on my phone speakers, but through headphones I hear an octave but rather than high and low notes alternating, they play simultaneously and the order of the notes switches sides. This is actually what you will hear if you only have 1 headphone in - alternating high and low notes, with the order of the notes switching depending on whether it's the left or right channel. So in conclusion, my brain is interpreting the information 100% literally, I am immune to illusions. Muhahahaha
"right handed people will hear the high tone to the right side" brett: "oh that's messed up" me: 'okay but it doesn't sound left to me, it just sounds like the sound is center...?' "left handed people won't have a consensus on which side the high tone is coming from" me: "oh that's messed up"
I’m left handed and heard the high pitch the ‘loudest’ on the upbeat in my left ear. Funny that Eddy’s perfect pitch is stronger than his brains tendencies as both pitches alternate equally in both ears and Eddy just literally hears it as it actually is 😂
How about Landmarks but they must not play a piece that's from the country the landmark is in. Movies (they have done anime so why not) Classic childhood cartoons Prodigies (though they might just accidentally insult them) Centuries but they can't play pieces written during that century Decades, same restriction Shows/Movies/Dramas they have roasted in the past *Bubble tea brands* Famous conductors ...
On the one with the Bluetooth headphones I had just one ear bud on and it sounded like a solid tone. It didn't change pitch, but when I added the other one it started to change pitch. Magic
The talking piano is like metal music. A lot of people can’t understand the growling but once you read the words you clearly can hear the them during the growling.
The last one was in fact discovered accidentally - through an AI tasked with transcribing songs into MIDI, and given a vocal recording. The one in the video was rather poorly executed, but there are ones you can understand without subtitles. It's actually not all that "magical", it just sequences voice (vocal) into a myriad extremely short notes that when combined form the same waveform as the original. All digital audio works just the same, except you get like, 44,100 "notes" per second in typical MP3 audio. The less - the lower "sample rate" - the harder to understand the voice, and getting it low enough that a mechanical piano can play it back makes it nearly incomprehensible.
digital audio is 44100 samples per second, very different from notes. If you could somehow play 44100 notes per second on a piano (actually, you can on a digital piano), you still wouldn't ever start to sound like a real person talking.
@@ItsABOUTflamTIME You sure? The math is pretty robust. The principle is about adding frequencies to achieve other waveform patterns. Fourier series transforms allow you to model any wave shape to achieve any result, by adding and subtracting other waves constructively or destructively. ua-cam.com/video/ds0cmAV-Yek/v-deo.html
@@ItsABOUTflamTIME Granted, but I'm not sure that means they can't still be used to approach arbitrary wave patterns. As a sanity check, It's my understanding that many synthesized pianos already construct their piano sounds _from_ sine waves, so unless I'm missing something, it stands to reason that those piano notes could be deconstructed those back into sine waves through destructive interference.
@@DerekHise Every sound is constructed of sound waves. Getting back to sine waves means that you need some combination of samples such that every part cancels except for a sine wave. I don't think that's guaranteed to exist (and it's definitely impossible on a real piano, since we don't have that kind of granular control over the sound of a particular note.)
I literally had all types of shit written about what I thought this alternating sound was, but then I finally did the smart thing and listend to the tones with only one ear phone at a time HAHAHAHAHA. it's EXACTLY THE SAME TONE IN EACH EAR but when you hear on both sides it sounds like the high pitch tone is only on the right side. And what's NUTS is that they are NOT alternating like I would have thought. If you paus the video and listen to the last tone on one ear phone, the next tone comes up on the next ear phone proving they are not alternating.... which makes this illusion even more freaky than I thought when i thought they were alternating. NOW THAT WAS AN AURAL ILLUSION NICE!!!!!
When the high tone sounds in one ear, the low tone sounds in the other ear at the same time and then they switch, so the high-low patterns are 180 degrees out-of-phase between the left and right.
For the tritone-"paradox" - there are many harmonics there, it is neither going up nor down, just all different frequencies. As an analogy - if you first have all odd numbers and then switch to all even numbers - did you add 1 or subtract 1 from all of them?....
If you like the Shepard tone, Mario 64's infinite stair theme is an example where notes try to achieve this illusion, instead of just rising/falling pitches I didn't bother putting on headphones, but I also heard the flat in the same octave 11:07 There's another one btw., combination tones: a psychoacoustic phenomenon where two simultaneous tones create a fake one in your ear/brain (Can't remember), iirc it's particularly strong or at least easiest to pick out with pure sine waves.
The shepard tone is multiple rising notes being played, but just as the highest note fades out, a new low note fades in. It won't get incredibly high-pitched, it's just continuously rising.
Me, seeing the dog in the first second. "Surely, we're build different." I was inable to reckonize the melodies earlier with notes put in the wrong order.
The paradox omfg, at first I heard it ascending then you asked someone now it sounds descending, but the notes are ascending according to my piano ahaha
The last one is the ability of your brain to fill in the missing pieces with whatever is fed to it through your different senses. That's why without the subtitles it makes no sense but once you read the subtitles, you can hear the "piano talking". To me it just shows the crazy things the brain can do just to make things make sense.
@Netanya Sullivan Exactly right, it shows the power of the human mind to fill in missing information. I was surprised by Brett's and Eddie's dismissive reaction once they couldn't hear the words without looking at the subtitles. Of course a piano can't perfectly imitate a human voice, you can't make one sound exactly like the other without losing the characteristics of one of the instruments involved (in this case, the voice), so considering that, what we see is still pretty amazing.. Just like with any instrument, when a human speaks or sings, there are overtones and undertones that not only contribute to the pitch you hear, but also to many other qualities of the sound (tone and timbre, for example). For anyone who wants to know how this "illusion" may have been pulled off, the creators involved probably took a high-quality audio clip of a speech, used a Fast Fourier transformation to analyze the frequencies (over/undertones) involved in each syllable, converted each syllable frequency component into its corresponding musical note, and then gave the info to a machine that can play any combination of notes on the piano. If you know what all of those over/undertones are and how loud they are compared to each other, and you have a device that can reproduce those exact frequencies at their exact relative volume, you can imitate any sound in the world.

That octave illusion messed with my head. I am right handed, but I heard the high notes in my left ear. but then sometimes, I just heard both the notes in a single ear.
The octaves illusion is brilliant. I'm left handed and when I really focused, I couldn't figure out where the fuck the tones were going. It felt like the high pitch one would switch randomly to the left or right side. That one is crazy good.
For the last one, I did hear the word "protecting" without looking at the subtitles, but I think that was just my brain trying to find words in nonsense.
mystery melody one: plays brett and eddy: its obviously ode to joy me: huh to me it sounds like the one that goes (hums ode to joy) i guess that would be ode to joy, then.
I honestly think it was the sound that he said "woah!" to, not the visual. It sounds like it's getting higher and higher without stopping, but he knows it's not possible for human ears to hear such a thing. It may even have been tripper for him given his perfect pitch.
They both said it in the moment where it stopped being high pitch and they realised it was back where it started, but without either of them having noticed the change happening.
The fourth illusion, where you have to listen with headphones and describe what you hear, both octaves are playing at the same time and alternating between your ears (the upper octave plays in your left ear while the lower octave plays in your right, then it switches so the lower octave plays in your left ear while the upper octave plays in your right). If you listen to it in mono, which combines the audio from both headphones, it just sounds like one continuous pitch.
That tritone thing was nuts. I heard up for the first one, then down for the second one. Then I went back and it sound UP for the second one. Then relistening, it was down again! And the first one was always up for me! Wtf…
The talking piano one is really cool. I saw a video before where someone converted PPAP to piano, and because so many notes were played, the actual lyrics were audible.
I was messing around with a wave to midi converter and accidentally used a song with lyrics instead of the instrumental version, and some of the lyrics sounded like the "talking piano".
Funny, my music skills are lacking and the scramble auditory illusion took me a little bit; however I am a fine artist and the dog stood out to me immediately. Sort of reverse of you two.
Ive played music all my life, cant draw or paint at all. I couldnt make out the songs to save my life, but got the dog right away. I dont think experience has anything to do with it.
I couIdn't beIieve how they couId hear the scrambIed tunes so easiIy, but the second they showed the visuaI iIIusion as a painter I couId see what it was! It's so neat to see how deveIoped visuaI eyes and musicaI ears work with these iIIusions :)
The octave test was very strange. It's almost as if there's 3 tones being played on every beat. There's a lower base and a higher octave and a third very short impact like note that switches ears. The high and low both play equally in both ears but the painful impacts bounce between ears and I think that highlights a high or low in each ear depending on dominance. But honestly this test is quite painful, however that may be due to some sensory issues and seizure stuff so Idk.
0:44 the thing in which it's zooming is an actual thing in maths, and is called the mandelbrot set or the mandelbrot fractal. It actually goes on forever making these mesmerizing patterns, and on each coloured boundary, there's a different pattern. The colour of the region defines the behaviour of that point. Two points in same coloured region will behave similar.
I can definitely hear the fake piano speech without reading the words, fairly clear and easily. I can almost understand every single word. Im not convinced it's actually an illusion, to be honest, just a very modulated recording.
11:41 the actual paradox is that it did change for me. first I heard it go up. I skipped back. I heard it go down. Again. Down. Again. Up. And now I only hear it go up.
About the first illusion, it's really not all that complicated : it's simply two sinewaves oscillating at two different speed. The second one oscillate faster and faster, up to a point were the ear doesn't hear it and the brain compensates this by making you believe its a different note. Thx, Electro Accousticians ! ;)
the second that they showed the picture of the dog, i was like "thats a dog in front of a tree, why are they struggling so much? i guess im just built different" and then 45 seconds later brett noticed the dog and eddy was like "were built different"
on the talking piano when they were playing it without the words (the part where it says saving and protecting) i could hear saving and protecting its weird
Two set: Yeah, the tritone went up, no paradox. Me who heard both up and down at the same time: I'm above you, mere mortals (had to concentrate to hear the down one though)
I'm confident in my aural skills. I will admit, the only class I did well in during college was aural skills. Please. _Someone explain to me how you heard the tritone go down._ Literally please sit at your piano or take whatever instrument you have and tell me what notes you heard because I am _genuinely_ lost.
The tritone had layered notes going both up and down. I was using a speaker with a decent bass to it and could actually hear both the high and low notes simultaneously. Another person wrote a more detailed reason in the comments if you want more information.

The fourth illusion, where you have to listen with headphones and describe what you hear, both octaves are playing at the same time and alternating between your ears (the upper octave plays in your left ear while the lower octave plays in your right, then it switches so the lower octave plays in your left ear while the upper octave plays in your right). If you listen to it in mono, which combines the audio from both headphones, it just sounds like one continuous pitch.
I hear my piano talking all the time. It is telling me to PRACTICE!
LOL Eddy's perfect pitch messed the octave illusion up
I hear both for the tritone. Sometimes i hear it going up and down at the same time, sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down.
Eddy: what if we’re living in a simulation?
Philosophers, writers, and film makers: oh, here we go again
0:00 Twoset’s a cult, confirmed

That tritone thing was nuts. I heard up for the first one, then down for the second one. Then I went back and it sound UP for the second one. Then relistening, it was down again! And the first one was always up for me! Wtf…
sphepards tone
kinda like when you play 256th notes of drums in musescore at 400bpm and you start to hear overtones forming into real melodies
The talking piano one is really cool. I saw a video before where someone converted PPAP to piano, and because so many notes were played, the actual lyrics were audible.
i'd love to see twoset react to some microtonal music (especially wanna see eddy's reaction as perfect pitch boi)!
I was messing around with a wave to midi converter and accidentally used a song with lyrics instead of the instrumental version, and some of the lyrics sounded like the "talking piano".
Funny, my music skills are lacking and the scramble auditory illusion took me a little bit; however I am a fine artist and the dog stood out to me immediately. Sort of reverse of you two.
Ive played music all my life, cant draw or paint at all. I couldnt make out the songs to save my life, but got the dog right away. I dont think experience has anything to do with it.
@@Ryan-qn1wr yeah perhaps there is something else occurring here.
I couIdn't beIieve how they couId hear the scrambIed tunes so easiIy, but the second they showed the visuaI iIIusion as a painter I couId see what it was! It's so neat to see how deveIoped visuaI eyes and musicaI ears work with these iIIusions :)
The octave test was very strange. It's almost as if there's 3 tones being played on every beat. There's a lower base and a higher octave and a third very short impact like note that switches ears. The high and low both play equally in both ears but the painful impacts bounce between ears and I think that highlights a high or low in each ear depending on dominance. But honestly this test is quite painful, however that may be due to some sensory issues and seizure stuff so Idk.
the high pitch tone was in my right ear, and then I switched my headphones and so did it
11:45 Please tell me im not the only one hearing down :(
You're not! I also heard it going lower.
@@rekal7775 thank you I'm normal 😭
Mystery melody 2 is “Yankee Doodle,” an American folk song.
11:50 It went down WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SAYING-
they could've played 2 of the same note an octave apart and then the tritone between them
0:44 the thing in which it's zooming is an actual thing in maths, and is called the mandelbrot set or the mandelbrot fractal. It actually goes on forever making these mesmerizing patterns, and on each coloured boundary, there's a different pattern. The colour of the region defines the behaviour of that point. Two points in same coloured region will behave similar.
12:01 WHAT THE SHOT THAT'S CREEPY!
I can definitely hear the fake piano speech without reading the words, fairly clear and easily. I can almost understand every single word. Im not convinced it's actually an illusion, to be honest, just a very modulated recording.
My dogs literally started barking and ran away scared from the Shepard's tone
Through this video, I realised my music intelligence is zero 🥲
for the risset frequency I think the individual beats get compressed so much and eventually it could sneakily return to the original time
Plot twist: Vanya is editor-san
We know editor-san has a different-sounding voice though (probably female) from their Among Us with TwoSet Friends video
The talking illusion was the next level of prepared piano.
Nice use of fractals and the Mandelbrot set.
I saw this when I was listening to shepherds town and I get goose bumps every time I think about it
i heard two alternating identical tones. also i still understood the talking piano with eyes closed.
Seeing us bigfoots in the wilderness usually makes people question everything too
Nolan actually used the Shepard effect in The Dark Knight so Batman's motorcycle sounded futuristic and ended up liking it so much he kept using it
1:01 *domain expansion
11:41 the actual paradox is that it did change for me. first I heard it go up. I skipped back. I heard it go down. Again. Down. Again. Up. And now I only hear it go up.
About the first illusion, it's really not all that complicated : it's simply two sinewaves oscillating at two different speed. The second one oscillate faster and faster, up to a point were the ear doesn't hear it and the brain compensates this by making you believe its a different note. Thx, Electro Accousticians ! ;)
the second that they showed the picture of the dog, i was like "thats a dog in front of a tree, why are they struggling so much? i guess im just built different" and then 45 seconds later brett noticed the dog and eddy was like "were built different"
With the talking piano, I heard the word "protecting" very clearly before it was shown
The Tritons was was so confusing cause I hear down on the first and up on the second. Is that the same with anyone?
ua-cam.com/video/eCdfsEPbPDo/v-deo.html🎹👈
I heard down both times, but the second sounded higher.
Up the first and down the second one
Up on the first, down on the second for me
I heard up first then down.
on the talking piano when they were playing it without the words (the part where it says saving and protecting) i could hear saving and protecting its weird
The visuals of the first one are also interesting - it's called a Mandelbrot Set and it's a mathematical phenomena.
And I think on that talking piano it’s just how the sound travels into that thing (piano) and room.
On 11:45 I think it’s 2 notes played at the same time and the lower goes more low while the high notes goes more high
Eddie is cheating. you can't use perfect pitch to win the mystery melody!
8:30 if you using earphone or headphone you will hear the tune but if you not its kinda flat..
Watched this video with one airpod in… that one illusion was just a single unbroken tone until i put the other airpod in
brett is god
This is true
I agree
Two set: Yeah, the tritone went up, no paradox.
Me who heard both up and down at the same time: I'm above you, mere mortals
(had to concentrate to hear the down one though)
Liszt incorporated a shepherd tone like effect in his transcendental etudes.
All i heard for the left and right hands one was a haircut.
me who can hear both of the different octaves in both ears but is right handed:
what.
I'm confident in my aural skills. I will admit, the only class I did well in during college was aural skills. Please. _Someone explain to me how you heard the tritone go down._ Literally please sit at your piano or take whatever instrument you have and tell me what notes you heard because I am _genuinely_ lost.
A month late but I heard like A#-E at the first one and then C-F#
The tritone had layered notes going both up and down. I was using a speaker with a decent bass to it and could actually hear both the high and low notes simultaneously.
Another person wrote a more detailed reason in the comments if you want more information.
I hear the octave thing swapping from side to side and I am as right-handed as it gets...
