      I saw the bowl and thought: Hey, that's nice. You could probably just put it on top...wait, wait hold on...
      And that was the day I realized that Vihart thinks music is more important that bowls.

      @@TheKitbaby I own a similar music box, it works best on large solid objects (walls/the floor work great) the bowl being face down on the table, with the music box on the flat bottom, would work exactly the same as how she set it up, honestly if she just held it flat against the table it would have likely ended up even louder

      I think that we can currently play a Klein bottle. If we match Length, Width, and Depth to things like pitch, loudness and timbre, we can 'print' a Klein bottle in the musicscape. By setting the lowest volume, the lowest pitch, and the lowest quality of sound to the Origin of the musicscape, we can print a Klein bottle and listen to how it's shape influences the music we hear.

    Fascinating, I love this demonstration. So clever! Since you're a very thorough commentator, it's worth noting that the "y-axis" of your strips is an irregular representation of pitch space since your music box is diatonic. Even leaving aside logarithmic transformations (which you allude to), the irregular distances between pitches are hidden from view on the paper strips, but are transferred to the tongue lengths of the music box.

    What's always impressed me is when a song played backwards and upside down is also a coherent musical piece instead of a jumble of sounds that don't quite make sense. I tried it with Davy Jones' Locket theme (a simple enough piece) and it works beautifully! This is on the 2.5 octave music box.: ua-cam.com/video/9m0BSleGjFQ/v-deo.html

    • @Claire-qe7xh
      @Claire-qe7xh 5 років тому +2

      Yeah that means "this is not a pipe" but that's a reference to a french painter, Magritte. It's the title of one of this most famous painting (which I invite you to look at) and it's... well, a pipe. A realistic pipe. Why did he called his painting that way, so ? Because that's not one. A pipe is a wooden object meant to smoke with, a 3d object while the painting is the representation of a pipe... not one, then. Our brain recognize the object, made an assossiation and identified it as such immediatly but Magritte reminds us it's not one. I hope the explaination made the comment above clearer, sorry for my english, but I doubt anyone will read that anyway so...

    Dearest Vi,
    I'm just going to go ahead and put this out there in hopes that you'll see it. I am in love with you. You are my dream geek girl. You're smarter than _I_ am (I'd even admit that to friends, which is saying something and PROOF POSITIVE of my deep devotion). And, well, your voice gives me a stiffy. (It is what it is, I can't help that.) So, let's us (you and me, forEV aaaaaaar.....!) make a deal:
    I won't try -- No, I won't even THINK about trying to stalk you and once and for all make you mine (forEV aaaaaaar.....!) if you PROMISE to make your #1 New Year's Resoloution for 2014 that you will SLOW your SPEECH dooooooown. A lot!
    I'm nowhere NEAR to being as smart as you (shhhhhh...!), but, I can tell that I could probably TAKE OVER THE WOOOOOOOORLD with the info contained in this video.If i could only understand it a smidge (just a smidge) better. But, I've had to back up so many times to just GRASP the simplest of concepts, that it's killing me. Plus, there's the whole voice = stiffy thing. After playing the initial 1:45 over and over, that aforementioned stiffy actually typed this comment. Help a brother out, Vi. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!
    Thanks! XOXO (forEV aaaaaaar.....?)
