Yes but mate do you know how much memory is being pushed around just to achieve that and all the technical knowhow in its eventual re-invention after doomsday if those guys have it right. Strange things happen... And I find this sound mesmerising.....
Yes, unless you have a degree in music... I'm here listening and trying to find out our which 16th/32nd/64th/128th note is on the down-beat at any given point in time. This would be HELL to actually perform. It sounds awesome, but if someone was asked to actually perform this on a real instrument their mind would melt.
*gets out of car and walks up to you, in front of me* Hey, uh just cane to let you know, your car blinkers blink 16 times every time mine blink 15 times. Can you please make it a 1:1 coordination as soon as possible? Thanks :)
One moment it sounds like the Akira soundtrack, the next moment it sounds like Mario when he eats a mushroom. This is a whole psychedelic trip for the ears.

A Polymeter is 2 or more different time signatures being played at once, like a melody in 3/4 being played at the same time as a melody in 4/4. While a polyrhythm is 2 different amounts of notes are being played at once, like 5 evenly spaced piano notes and 3 (also evenly spaced) piano notes being played in 2 seconds@@PunishedDad
These bridges are made out of natural sunlight that I pump in from the surface. If you pressed your cheek against one, it would be like standing outside with the sun shining on your face. It would also set your hair on fire. So don’t actually do that.
It’s so cool that it’s like an auditory illusion. If you just listen you’ll hear notes on certain beats like a melody but if you close your eyes and focus your ears just right you can hear the scale just going up over and over.
Weirdly, the stuff at 1:42 and 1:53 are EXACTLY what I hear on DMT. At least one of the common sounds. That weird, swirling, gurgling effect that changes timing
i thought this was just a shitpost and ignored it for a few weeks but youtube insisted on continually recommending it to me and holy, i am so glad i finally clicked it. this is wonderful
exact same experience, the algorithms are starting to get more and more attuned to our actual patterns of thought, to the point where some vague association you had with a certain video suddenly actually shows up in the recommended column. i always keep thinking like it can't be good to allow a company to hook into your mind like that, but i'm also learning and seeing so many different things.
@@SkymustbelimitedNo, this is a perfectly grammatical way to use "than" for comparison. You don't need to say "than what" here. Although you could argue the sentence should end with "to sound like", which may have been slightly clearer.
the main beat is mostly consistent through the whole track which serves as a grounding point for your ears. I imagine if you removed the unce-ing it would be quite a bit more disorienting
@@official_Quube yeah a lot of people overcomplicate the type of music they listen to when the answer is just “comedy songs” or in this case “aggressive polyrhythms that people with adhd like”
I mean bro just systematically made every tune possible people will make a tune especially since the visuals look cool and we already invested time in the video...take the small tunes until it becomes a mess of synthy xylofon sounds or door bell chime
@@meh6513 Clean design and elegant ideas are often easy to execute technically. Thinking up the concept itself though, especially one people haven't seen/heard before, that's tricky.
@@YourFaceisPretty I think a kid with enough time can think and manually do this... At least the polyrhythms part... The algorithm making process is more interesting that's true
I think this stresses phasing and subdivision more than polyrhythms. Steve Reich popularized phasing in the 60s. Music for 18 Musicians is a masterpiece.
So it's like that trick when they start a row of pundulums swinging together but they all have gradually varying lengths... So they slowly go out of sync, then apparent chaos, then partial patterns... And eventually they all return to being in sync.
1:55 when it hit, my body simply couldn't handle it. It tensed up entirely, sending my blood pressure through the roof. You gotta put a warning label on this one!
I love raw screen recordings of someone’s DAW project, feels much more genuine. It’s like instead of showing someone a finished painting, you show the canvas and colors used
Yeah every time I go to an art museum (as an artist this is often enough) I see all the wonderful paintings and think, "Gosh if I knew that exact red this would feel so much more genuine."
Agreed. I should make some more. I think this kind of thing will become even more precious to be able to witness if AI continues on its path, as much as I appreciate its capabilities.
Yeah bro, it's like kinda rickety and springy in a way. Like a train almost derailing, stablizing before it crashes, continuing to glide along. in the most beautiful, metaphoric sense of course. No one likes a train crash lol
Now that you say it, yes. And I’m going to be coming back to this video whenever I need a mental break so I can just space out and stare at it for almost 8 minutes straight XD
@@kayasia8916 I swear what makes this so good is sitting there and waiting for that part to come. Is this some sort of phenomenon? Like it happens during the whole track where there are these certain moments that just sound so satisfying but we have to wait for a build up of off tempo beats until we get there
@@Cohen- I feel the same way, the eardrum does take on different physical shapes for different sounds, so this feeling might be literally a massage for our ears
@@veryspicywater which part don’t you understand? It’s not very complicated; the polyrhythm has sections that make up noticeable rhythms and some that sound out of time. He uses filters and effects (which you can see the automation patterns for at the start) to make the off-time parts less noticeable while bringing ur attention to the frequencies where the “on tempo” sounds are. Next time just tell people you don’t understand, no need to be so confidently wrong.
Man, I was expecting something done as a joke or to show what happens when you push the boundaries of a setting. Instead it was 8 minutes of sleek, serene vibes. A nice surprise!
This is fucking _gorgeous._ So many spots where the rhythm and melody come from _just_ out of phase to meshing _just right_ for a second or two, and every time they go back out of phase, you've still got that driving rhythm to keep your feet and head moving. So so so so beautiful, this. Well done!
Reminds me of when your listening to a good beat in the car, you want to turn at a stop light and the sound of your blinker slowly starts to match the beat, then you notice the blinker from the car ahead slowly starts to match the beat too, and then you realize the second car’s blinker ahead of you starts to match the beat, then the light turns green and everything slowly goes out of sink again, but that moment where everything was in rhythm and lighting up right on time was just perfect
I thnik there's the magic trick at play here. Seems like the drums are linked to E8 (topmost) note throughout the entirety of the song. Which makes it always in sync with something.
This is a master class in how to keep a song interesting with those subtle and not so subtle changes. Not only due to the actual melody but also those constant refreshes keep the song interesting. I can't believe somethinh like this not only does not get old but demands you to listen and listen again. ❤
See, this shows me outright that you, Virtual Riot, are truly a person whose interest in making music goes far beyond just wanting to make release-worthy stuff. Getting into the nitty-gritty of it all.
i've heard a few songs with a similar sound/vibe i just cant place any of them right now. 2 are from the monstercat library but beyond that i cant remember
In music theory, polyrythms are two or more different rhythms layered over one another. The point is that they start together, make interesting and cool sounding rhythms in the middle, and finally close with a synced up hit.
@@cheese2355 Bruh, catnip is just mint that cats like. Idk what about the name made it sound so horrific that you didn't want to know what it was and furthermore, how the hell do you not know what catnip is? 😂
@@WiggyWamWam seriously. i've been seeing a lot of "polyrhythms" on youtube, but they aren't like.. quantified or understood in the song itself? i don't know how to explain, but its just like a mathematical stretching of all notes across whatever scale, adding space in between. Seriously not the way they're used in actual music and very weird to even call it "polyrhythmic" when really the rhythm is changing every 0.001 seconds. just a sliding time change that is very whacky
@@tabbycrumch3062I feel like there are several sections in here where the backing beat could have done a time signature change or something that would have gone hard as fuck. I dunno seems like a cop out to just throw a boots and cats beat on it and call it day Edit: not to disparage the creator or anything you may not have been trying to make a masterpiece work of art I recognize that and it's still enjoyable content, I'm just speaking within the context of this thread.
The experience of watching this at 11 : 30 at night while being that weird kind of tired where your brain decides to lose focus every minute or so and your eyes are weirdly heavy (like not very but still a little) is unrivaled
Agree, I think there's like moments like that you could loop and make a bit more of a conventional track sound great. I'm sure lots of people are doing it with the session file.
@@RJ1J Yeah, that element of the track is pretty cool. It sounds like it's reaching a drop, and then keeps on morphing and evolving to the next one. Really wanna here a finished version, though, where moments like that actually stick - that would be really cool!
Here's a seamless loop of it, just put your player on repeat for hours of listening drive.google.com/file/d/1QBTq_EMQ-kHvyer5HMTrF49XEq45A5Ae/view?usp=sharing
i love how you automated the reverb mix on the main plucky synth to fade it's transients out into the background when it's more out of time to just flip it back to dry instantly when it gets back on beat. Such a nice detail, so satisfying
This feels like life. Moments of harmony before it all falls apart again. You know if you just keep going things will all sync up again. And the whole journey is beautiful. So, just enjoy it.
Didn't know that I like polyrhythms that much though.
okay i did not expect to hear of virtual riot randomly again in 2024 but to see TheFatRat in the comments nevertheless is a huge throwback

This is like waiting for car blinkers to match up in sync only for them to slowly fall out of sync then sync back up again and repeat.

I'm glad that casual listeners can appreciate how dope this is because as a producer I'm very impressed
I mean bro just systematically made every tune possible people will make a tune especially since the visuals look cool and we already invested time in the video...take the small tunes until it becomes a mess of synthy xylofon sounds or door bell chime

@@YourFaceisPretty I think a kid with enough time can think and manually do this... At least the polyrhythms part... The algorithm making process is more interesting that's true
Now there's a job I would have loved to have had, only with audio dramas
Utilizing the way multiple polyrhythms naturally fade in and out of sync as a natural transition is genius
is it genius, or does pointing it out make you feel like a genius? Maybe both
@@long_guy not as genius as you, the fact that you can remember how to sign in with a username like that is all the proof I need.
I think this stresses phasing and subdivision more than polyrhythms. Steve Reich popularized phasing in the 60s. Music for 18 Musicians is a masterpiece.
i dont think it would sound good any other way, its almost forced
It's some kind of fucked up abstract jazz if we stretch the meaning of it
So it's like that trick when they start a row of pundulums swinging together but they all have gradually varying lengths... So they slowly go out of sync, then apparent chaos, then partial patterns... And eventually they all return to being in sync.

this is insane. The way you automate the effects/filters to highlight the parts that make sense and hide the parts that throw off the tempo is genius
I was wondering how he accomplished that. I feel like he also hurried or slowed some parts to adjust for tempo mismatch between sections.
thats exactly what he did@@violahero4life
@@veryspicywater you clearly do not produce
@@veryspicywater he did that
@@veryspicywater which part don’t you understand? It’s not very complicated; the polyrhythm has sections that make up noticeable rhythms and some that sound out of time. He uses filters and effects (which you can see the automation patterns for at the start) to make the off-time parts less noticeable while bringing ur attention to the frequencies where the “on tempo” sounds are.
Next time just tell people you don’t understand, no need to be so confidently wrong.

The tension between the drums and the ever changing rhythms of the melody resolving in harmonies between both is really great.
that’s where the magic comes in, if you just let it play out with any of that it’s not nearly as entertaining
I thnik there's the magic trick at play here. Seems like the drums are linked to E8 (topmost) note throughout the entirety of the song. Which makes it always in sync with something.
Its like when your window wipers match a song's beat every few measures. makes me happy
This is a master class in how to keep a song interesting with those subtle and not so subtle changes. Not only due to the actual melody but also those constant refreshes keep the song interesting.

In music theory, polyrythms are two or more different rhythms layered over one another. The point is that they start together, make interesting and cool sounding rhythms in the middle, and finally close with a synced up hit.
