- Опубліковано 19 тра 2024
- Levitation 21 by Tigran Hamasyan is a labyrinth of rhythmic patterns. In this video, we try to find them all and link them with the cryptic geometric image he posted on Facebook.
Tigran Hamasyan's new ablum, The Call Within, is out August 28th.

Can please Tigran answer these questions? We need to get this video to him in a way that he will actually record a response
Hi just want to say great job on the analysis! Glad I could help you out.
Thank you! I definitely couldn't have done this without your great transcription!
@@BradenHolmes hows about the analysis of the hidden geometry of "secret chiefs 3 - perichoresis" next ? :) i
I like your work and your music Braden. I will send this video to Tigran by whatsapp, I can't say if he will comment but he'll give it attention.
Wow, thank you!!
@@BradenHolmes You're welcome. There is too much crap in the musical world today and with AI there will be even more. Those who approach music seriously and authentically have every right to be known.
Crazy Tigran❤
Phenomenal Job! Much Respect to you my friend.
Jeez, it's nice seeing that I'm not the only one losing sleep over this piece. Great job, really illuminating analysis, you got a new subscriber !
Thank you so much for making this very clear (and still entertaining !). Great work !
This is brilliant man! Keep it up!
This was wild! loved it! Great work! :D
Another youtube channel I follow linked this video when it came out. I found it pretty interesting then but hadn't expected that to spiral into what it became. He went from not being on my radar at all to being my # 1 played artist of 2020 and me and my partner are celebrating our anniversary by seeing him in Concert next week. Just wanted to say thank you!
Great detective work! I really liked how you synced the animation to shape as it played
This is super clear and helped me so much. Thank you!
My man! Instant sub, super interesting content!
Hey Braden... DAMN GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!! I was only just getting into the song and you've made it a lot easier.
deep vid bro u earned my sub on this one , i would watch those designs on a loop for hours ngl
You definitely made my day. Thanks a lot. Respect ❤
Well done dude, very enjoyable.
This is amazing analysis!! Really well explained and really mind-blowing and enjoyable to watch!
Thank you!
Thank you for this brother... I love Tigran and I've been trying to wrap my head around L21 lol
Man your videos are great. Love your videos dude!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy them!
Very nicely done man!
Your channel is really nice, dude. Following!
Much appreciated!
Awesome job man!
Great job dude!
Thank you Braden
Thanks for the analysis!
Wow, this is amazing! I'm just about to start writing my bachelor thesis, a rhythmic analysis of The Call Within, and this is super cool. I'd love to share some thoughts on the different tunes once I propperly start. For now I've only been listening to it a million times and analysing, but without pencil and paper...
I would love to read your thesis paper. Let us know how it is going!
@@tahmidt Hey! I finished it last June! I can forward it to you if you'd like! The only thing is that it's in Spanish
@@danielvallejo3794 I’d love to have a look at the thesis. Could you send me a link to the pdf? UA-cam won’t let me write my email here.
@@danielvallejo3794 hey Daniel I would love yo have a look to your project. I'm a musician but also a university professor so I can see it from both perspectives. I would be glad to read some, it must be crazy. Good luck
@@tahmidt Damn, UA-cam erases my comments when I write some contact info... How can we do this?
Wauuu! Is very clear, yhanks for your work😍😍
Super cool work. Thanks.
This was insane
Great analysis. Interesting!
Amazing stuff! I don't know much music theory, but that was super great :)
wow. absolutely awesome video!!!!
Very good job, awesome thanks!
Super intéressant merci !
Nice video, bro. 05:19 is when I try head-bobbing but can’t. 😀 The last minute or so of this track is outstandingly good!
Hey Braden, this is dope. I know this is an old video but if you still see these comments, I’d like to recommend a book to you (or anyone else who’s interested in this kind of work). “A Geometry of Music” by Dmitri Tymoczko takes a lot of the questions at play here regarding rhythm/meter and extends them to harmony/counterpoint. It isn’t light reading (I’m not a “music theorist” by any means) but this book answered a ton of questions that I never even knew how to ask. Check it out if you’re interested in seeing someone take this kind of analysis and run with it!
this is awesome
This is really timely, as I recently read Stephon Alexander's the 'Jazz of Physics'. In it, Alexander often talks about how John Coltrane and other jazz legends thought about symmetries in their compositions, and he relates this to Coltrane's and his own thinking about symmetries in physics and how this would lead to the formations of structures in both music and cosmology. It is one of those books that, while I can see some people not appreciating this mode of thought as anything but 'fluff' or 'woo', as a musician and researcher it has helped me begin to seriously think about how rhythms are possibly playing a role in the areas of cell biology that I'm studying
Anyway, I am definitely going to subscribe to your channel. This was a great video! :)
I should note that I meant to write "his own thinking about *broken* symmetries", as that seemed to be the important point Alexander was making in his book.
That sounds like a super interesting book. I'll have to give it a read!
素晴らしいです!
I really enjoyed your video and analysis !!! Just received the album today and i'm sorry to tell you that dot 1 is 21 on the photo album book...
He also wrote 4 paragraphs with poetic meanings :
5,5,5,6
7,7,7
4,5,5,3,4
4,4,5,3,5
I begin to learn it on piano. I'm so attract to it. Obviously fun to play when you mastered it :)
Thank you! I started to wonder who still buys records and looks at booklets. It's very beautiful too I think.
Yo this is awesome
love it!!
Nice name my dude ;)
Def Subscribed.
Fwiw, after the 20th+ listen, I started to feel the opening lick as dotted eighth notes. But I lost it once the drums came in so idk
Damn...this guy chosen
Chosen by algorithm
Nice work
You earned a subscriber!
Wooooooooow ! BrilliANT !
Well done! Although I'm surprised you didn't mention Euclidian rhythms.
I hadn't heard of Euclidean Rhythms before, but turns out that's pretty much exactly what this is. Thanks for enlightening me!
I'm happy it was helpful, I hadn't stumbled across your channel before but I'm glad I have now! Maybe you'd like to check out me playing (somewhat successfully) Markos & Markos: ua-cam.com/video/TOut0dXtOsM/v-deo.html
do analysis on Cosmic Liberty by Casimir Liberski next!
And people think Tool is deep and complex, lol
Definitely earned a sub, dude. Great analysis.
This is tits! Love the song. Love it all man. Thank you!
Yeah dope.
чувак, вот это работа! Круто!
Very interesting. Have you considered doing tool songs lol
Do you know about Kirchoff's circuit laws? Very applicable to this.
great vid. whats the outro music?
you should blink more often
Cooool video. Did Tigran see it?
No idea, it'd be awesome if he did!
In a video description on his channel Arthur Hnatek, the drummer on Levitation 21, uses the term "rubato" to describe the free time section:
ua-cam.com/video/S_BJNxWkOZI/v-deo.html
But it still wouldn't have surprised me if Tigran had written some super granular rhythmic pattern there.
great analysis! by the way, what's the music at the end of the video?
It's a song of mine called Asleep. The full song has only ever been released here: soundcloud.com/bradenholmes/asleep. It's pretty wacky
@@BradenHolmes love It!! Thanks for sharing!!
I get it now,the threads image was used it album cover...
hi Braden. Listen to 3:45 on the track and see what you think about the groups of missing groups of 3.
🤟
The word you were looking for was "heptagon" :P
keep it greasy by zappa is 21/16
I'm sure you've seen this, but in case you haven't, this post of his on Instagram may be of use instagram.com/p/CB076MQIP0r/
Hey Braden, absolutely excellent content and thorough analysis of these rhythms - you are certainly underrated. I was wondering how you managed to get the midi piano for Levi 21. I tried downloading Han Zhao's Musescore file but it didn't work in any software. Any help? Cheers mate
I manually entered the piano notes into Sibelius and exported audio from there. I saw Han Zhao had a MusicXML file that could allegedly be imported into most notation software, although I've had pretty bad luck with trying to do that in the past. Thank you for the kind words!
And oh boy do I just wanna RARGH
Btw what is the track in the end of the video?
It's a song of mine called Asleep. It's only ever been released here: soundcloud.com/bradenholmes/asleep
Look into Georgi Gurdjieff works and music
Not seen anyone say the drums are clearly in 5565. Seems like the most obvious way to feel it to me
Yeah I see your point if you look at the kick and snare certainly. No idea about the hi-hat though!
@@davidobrien1842 if you go to 3 mins in the tune it's as clear as day
heptagon
I also want to make this metal thing as I have wire and my dad has a mig an dIm sure I can get a wheel , myabe even a bike wheel would work haha, and then ill put it in my wall. Afterall music is frozen architecture ;)

I think its Heptagon.
A Complete* Rhythmic Analysis
Hi Brayden,
I'm too lazy so far to have looked into the rhythmic patterns, but the song is not in 21/16 but in 4/4. Count it through, it works all the way. That may fix those "rhythmic strings" you're missing.
Geometry music geometry music
Shapes shapes shapes
look's like he picked something up from Danny Carey
Jesus
what. the. fuck.
Your approach here is completely off. This type of music is based on phrases , you don’t count it based on traditional classical music. I could hear him basing his phrasing and feel on different structures ( called dastgahs) more or less. Which are systems in trad music in his region and Iran. Although he has tweaked the whole thing drastically
lol nice try
Too much weed
please stop using the expression "clave patterns" like that.
Why?
Why...? It's a literal clave pattern.
