Bro

Rudy Ayoub you didn't even need to watch the video

Did you write this comment, bro? Write something else

this is better and more advanced than flying cars

@@elecboy5126 pure insanity

samet here

24/20 (or 6/5) time sigs be like... "how about the 20/20 become a 4/4? then *4/20* is left" mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Time signatures will never make any fucking sense to me and I don't understand why people even discuss it.

I was so stoked for the numberphile shout out. This channel really hits me in a niche way.

do do do do doo do doooo

Do-do do-do doo-do-duuuuude.

It shouldn't sound any different.

Dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo(bie)

Do it anyway

RDVMusic absolutely

Jazz is just music-meme-music!

*Rick Beato left the chat*

Twosetviolin is practically monopolising the RU-vid music meme game rn and jazztube needs to step up and challenge them for the meme crown Adam should lead the charge

Pick the right breakcore song and you get all jazz shit posting

aint gonna like this comment cos its gonna ruin the 69 likes

It was crazy to feel when you all modulated with two drumsets. The entire song was just crazy.

5 dislikes are from people who shit their pants when they heard it

Amazing! It’s a lot to take in but listening to it, it was great!

I definitely flipped my shit when I heard it. One of the best experiences I've ever had!

I was there, and I can confirm that it was very cool

Ooh. I would love that. Go suggest it to Brady.

backing that so much !

somebody tweet brady now

PLEASEEE ! I WANT THIS SO BAD! :D

I’m so glad those guys watch Numberphile. It totally validated my life.

Plus the guy in the embedded video is wearing a Wintergaten Marble Machine X t-shirt.

6/9*

Also using Eb11 chords

Nice

Oliver Nye lol thanks

Well I mean you are supposed to blaze it so

It reminds me of the jankiness when I had to learn The Mars Volta's _Cotopaxi_ to do a cover for a project. Even though I sequenced up my "band", I still had to sing that shit...11/8, then 4/4, then 9/4 (with the kick drum pounding out dotted eighth notes).

Mal-2 KSC bro that’s nuts

Vigilance Brandon hey nice like count

You guys should watch any WTF Grooves videos on RU-vid. Trust me, there are weird time signatures and interesting stuff to play along.

Me too

David? Wait so the composers of RU-vid watch each other? :o

Slip is top tier, but I didn't manage to find others at that level. Any recommendations?

Realtime generated knowledge rules. Encounter something new, recognize the relations in it to things you do know, and suddenly you know the thing even though you never encountered it before.

That's why you come back to it in the spirit of RU-vid

They had t shirts with "shubhgazer 2019" on the front!

Please don't get too wrapped up over it. Practice your Tupperlets instead.

it technically is possible that means each bar would be (4*pi)/69 beats long.

If Nancarrow could do it, the rest of us can too

Wouldn’t that be an infinite song tho since Pi is an infinite number?

@@dev4965 No just because each bar is irrational or repeats forever does not mean that it would be an infinite song.

You could do a 201/64, but i think a 22/7 while also being more accurate would be very interesting.

This is the lamest Monk tune.

Crazy that it came about organically, right?

I’m pretty sure it is lol bc if you notice at 5:24 the drummer is playing improvised nonsense I think as a nod to Adam haha

Ok

honestly i don't even know why I watch these videos, 90% of the time i have no idea what he's talking about

this is poetry

I lov u cat

@@arthurfranca5516 I love you too!

Probably, I understood it perfectly and I was toking through the whole thing. Here's the really short answer: a quarter note is a quarter of a whole note, an eighth note is an eighth of a whole note... extend that logic and a twentieth note is a twentieth of a whole note. You need to use a tuplet to write it, but it's clearly definable with standard notation. Now make a bar that's 4 of those 20th notes. That's a 4/20 bar.

That made me laugh as a drum corps enthusiast

I never thought I would see mention of DDR, ITG, and Drum Corps in the same video comment thread but here we are

4:32 A = 432 Checkmate, stoners

Ha! It actually is!

This is amazing timing

It's always 4:20 somewhere.

this cannot have been deliberate!!

Abner Wilhelm get the feel of 4/4 and 6/4 down solid, then either add a beat or take one away when playing a riff, or even just repeat something when you mess up the timing and keep repeating it and then try to figure out what time it’s in... that’s how I started and a little over half of our songs are in odd time signatures now

There's always the ol' 3+3+2 "5/4 clave" from the Mission Impossible theme and also every other song trying to sound like spy music!

Try counting to 5

The main theme to the Halloween film series Living In The Past - Jethro Tull

You have to listen to it a bunch before it feels natural. I grew up listening to Brubeck’s Take Five, so it’s easier for me. Gonna work on a piano version of Coltrane’s My Favorite Things in 5/4 next year, using a Take Five-style left hand vamp.

*laughs in speedcore*

Lol that's pretty great.

If you like weird rhythms such as 4/20 you might find the content on my channel relevant, that's exactly what I explore there;)

Yes, you could. If memory serves, in his piece/video "world of 5 and 7" Manjunath B.C. uses this kind of offset rhythm through konokkol. Though, in his case the beat stays consistent and only the melody becomes offset by 1/20, rather than having an irregular meter as in the guys' case in this video.

You can but it's missing the modulation aspect. The original 6/4 rhythm would be counted that way but after the modulation they're treating the groupings of 5 as quarter notes, technically making them groupings of 4. That's why there was the weird group of 3.2 left over, which you'd have to speak as three syllables followed by a fifth of a syllable somehow. I think this approach would still be a viable way to learn the meter though, if you got the length of the "ta-di-gi-na-ka" ingrained well enough to the point where you could accurately keep time by only marking the "ta" and leaving the rest silent. Then you'd have to learn how to feel a 4/4 backbeat there while keeping that pulse consistent at the exact same rate but keeping the "ta-ka-di-mi" at the end at the original pace. Did any of that make sense? I'm vaguely aware of that system of counting but not well enough to know if an explanation like that is helpful to someone well versed in it. If you're familiar with polyrhythms another way to say it is that if you take a 5:4 polyrhythm you'd count the ta-di-gi-na-ka as the 5 but actually be playing the 4 instead, then at the end of the part switch back to playing the 5 but return to the downbeat after only four of the tuplets.

@@TheSquareOnes You could replace the ta di gi na ton (fives) for ta ka di mi (fours) in the modulated rhythm with matching "tas" or accented notes. But when it comes to the 3.2 sixteenths...well

I think you can just see that as regular 9/8 measures tho
