The fact that there was someone thousands of years before modern computers, astronomy, physics and chemistry that was already contemplating the notion that everything is mathematics, is crazy.
One really doesn't realize the complexity of what you are enjoying when listening to "Smoke On The Water." :) But I remember reading all those magazines for musicians where they would break their process down into mathematics, which is why I never could read music. Or do math :)
Another fantastic explanation of something I thought I already understood but still learnt something new! Thanks for the Bernstein link as BTW; I watched it years ago but didn't really "get it".
Excellent! Found this right after watching your video on tone, pitch, and notes. This one is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for all the work put into producing these. They are pure gold. (P.S. I found the playlist too, so I can learn more ! 🙂)
Loved how you explained. I was watching walter lewin's class and learned it in a hard way I wish he had involved music this way . Can you make a long video essay on TIMBRE ?
the major triad at 7:56 is the one from 12 EDO which has frequency ratios 2^(4/12) for the major third and 2^(7/12) for the perfect fifth. it IS NOT stable!! you can literally HEAR the wobbliness caused by the major third being tuned sharp if you compare to the perfect ratio based tuning.
Check out the song ‘music is math’ from the album ‘Geogaddi’ by the electronic music producers ‘Boards Of Canada’ I reckon they create their music using an electronic calculator from the 70’s.😂
Music has been here before humans. But humans' attempt to theorize and "make sense" of music leaves it more complicated. Been playing music all my life, rather play with human banging on a bucket than anyone else.
The fifth overtone is not the major third, the 81st overtone is the true major third, it being derived from 4 perfect fifths. The fifth overtone being called the major third, by fiat, is the greatest misconception in music history. Music is based of 3's and 2's. Throwing 5's also into the mix is confusion. People say the 81st harmonic is out of tune in chords. This is a lie.
@@andybaldmanJacob Collier teaches exactly the opposite of what I wrote and what I am advocating for. He teaches that the 5/4 is the true major third. I do not, I teach the major third is a ratio of 81/64.
@@toothless2323 Yes. Thou canſt hear many muſicall examples on my channel, all are in Pythagoꝛean tuning, which I call True Intonation, which hath theſe 81ſt harmonic maioꝛ thirds. As thou wilt hear, they ſound quite in tune eſpecially in the context of actual muſicke. They haue perfect vertical (harmonic intonation), while alſo hauing perfect hoꝛizontal (that is, melodic) intonation. I haue ſome barberſhop examples that compare the fifth ouertone tuning with the True Intonation ouertone tuning, but though the quality of thoſe videos is not the greateſt, they doe atteſt to the perfect intonation of the Pythagorean tuning with the 81/64 maioꝛ thirds and the 32/27 minoꝛ thirds. My moꝛe recent vploads haue a better moꝛe realiſticke ſound qualitie, but they are Pythagoꝛean/True tuning onely, with no compariſon. Some pieces are oꝛiginalls, ſome are arrangements, and ſome are ſimple retunes.

Right???
Mathematics is measuring / counting BFD to say everything can be measured / counted.

Or do math :)
Hopefully this series will help you understand a little better! It can be pretty confusing if it’s not explained properly 😅
Good series of videos, and crispy explanation - easy to understand. Looking forward for more videos on science & math of Music.
Love from India 💌
Thank you so much!

one of the best channels explaining music!!!
That means so much! Thank you!!
Your channel is so good! Can't wait for it to blow up ☺️
Thank you so much!!
Really good breakdown. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I subbed! This is really helping me understand music theory!
This makes me so happy!
What an excellent music theory resource! Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work!

Great video! Will you some day do a video on reading sheet music? Thanks :)
أنا عربي أحب علم الموسيقى، واستفدت جدددددداً من فيديوهاتك❤❤❤
awesome channel
Much appreciated!!
These videos are amazing!
Wow your videos are so cool
Thank you!

It’s actually coming up soon!! 🤩
haha loved the Fullmetal Alchemist reference @6.06
I'm so glad someone picked up on it XD
I really liked your teaching
Thank you! 😃

Why do you use equal temperament when talking about pure intervals?
the major triad at 7:56 is the one from 12 EDO which has frequency ratios 2^(4/12) for the major third and 2^(7/12) for the perfect fifth. it IS NOT stable!! you can literally HEAR the wobbliness caused by the major third being tuned sharp if you compare to the perfect ratio based tuning.
i wish the video audio configuration was like 35% more louder :(
Noted

Lol! I checked it out - very cool! Sounds like a lot of digital instruments for sure
You are cool
hey, thanks ☺

Oh look, it’s Jacob Collier.

BLASPHEMY !
DONT LISTEN TO THE LIES, THAT WASN'T THE 5TH HARMONIC !!!!!!!!!
You alright, friend?
