tbh I never felt like minor is "sad" in the first place. I can see where happy for major comes from, but minor sounds just as sad as everything else imo, it all just depends on tempo and volume
Like... the last bit of the Malagueña intro: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uk3n-UQ9KSY.html (this is obviously a different recording but I'd say it's definitely from that song)
So basically it’s always 2 or 3. Balkan folk music is so much richer with its irregular beats summed up as 5/8, 7/8 or 9/8 (like 2+2+2+3/8, not 3+3+3/8).
What a wonderful breakdown. I was lucky enough to be at uni in 2004/5/6 and the Hot Fuss album was being played everywhere. Listening to Mr Brightside is like a time machine for me now and I try to avoid it as it stirs up too many emotions I don't really want to feel. Congrats on the 1m subs btw 👏
my favorite 5/4 time probably has to be "My Wave" by Soundgarden, matt cameron and ben shepherd are a very underrated rhythm section. they're probably the only reason soundgarden was able to do so many odd time signature songs
a big thing with "happy" minor is exciting, i dont know to many examples but you see it a lot in some modern Christian contemporary music, and if you replace a few chords to switch it to the relative major itll sound more traditional, but in the minor key it makes it feel more exciting and upbeat
Mobb Deep have some great samples, check out Shook Ones pt2; the source of the sample was discovered only just recently. Also, check out Survival of the fittest. Really nice beats.
Controversial opinion but I find the phrygian dominant scale to sound darker than the regular phrygian scale, despite it technically being a major scale
I actually thought it might have had something to do with the mellotron, which was subject to pitch change due to speed changes in its motors. The effect of this 'error' is quite beautiful.
Didn’t Kid Rock do a combination of sampling on the song Summertime? He mixed Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon & Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Does that count? 😂
Somewhere I saw or read a person involved in the creation of Bennie and the Jets saying they intentionally placed the claps on beat 1 and 3 because it's well known that UK audiences do that rather than clapping the backbeat 2 and 4
Gil Scott Heron’s, “I Came From a Broken Home”, sampled Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” & I’m pretty sure Kanye was sampling Curtis Mayfield’s “Little Child Runnin’ Wild” from Superfly
But minor 7th are made from a minor chord (root) and a major chord (the third, fifth and seventh together are a major) this is why minor 7 sound more bright while major 7th sound more sad
The intro sounds very similar to Private Emotion by Ricky Martin ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N_PS05ebm3s.htmlsi=gu8gkCtSd9aKLM82 Is it similar compositionally or just to the ear?
My VGM purist ass was really sitting there waiting for you to talk about Crowded Street from Street Fighter 3 - I would have assumed coincidentally since I don’t know anything about the impact of James Bond in Japan, but considering that the remix used in Giant Impact is called “Action Movie Mix”, maybe it’s intentional?
I had to write a piece for my intro to theory class and had it switch from major to minor. As I was writing it, I literally texted a friend that it sounded backwards
It's two thousand AND six, not 'two thousand six'... It's a couple OF decades, not 'a couple decades'. Learn how to speak English properly before making videos; you make yourself sound like an utter fool with all the dreadful Americanisms.
