Due to popular demand, a fully-realized version of the circle visualizer seen in this video (now called Sonofield) will soon be available! Sign-up here to receive updates regarding the launch of Sonofield: m.schulz.audio/sonofield Sonofield is a real-time harmonic visualizer. It displays all the relevant information about the chords and melodies you play on your MIDI controller in a visually intuitive way. The version I'm using in this video is just a simple prototype...

Just started but I think it just might be. I've been playing guitar all my life but I still have trouble with hearing notes and intervals instinctively.

@StrangeLeap Месяц назад

Inspired by this video, I started singing solfege in the car with a single note drone on loop. But instead of trying to hear the intervals (like I've done all my life, to negligible progress), I've been trying to hear the notes themselves (the feeling of the notes, like max says) before I sing them. Recently I heard a tune on the radio, and knew for certain that the melody started on the fifth. It was like magic. Still a long way to go, but I've gotten more progress in the last 2 months than I have in the last 10 years.

@raybart5604 4 месяца назад

This is the only method that I have tried (and in 45 years I have tried a lot) that really works. Picked it up from your Udemy course and have been practicing consistently for around 2 months. My wife had the TV on and the music leapt out at me, I knew without doubt what the melody was. Checking it against the keyboard confirmed it. To practice the skill I used bugle calls and graduated to traditional Chinese music to play back in real time. What is remarkable is that when you hear it in terms of feeling there is no doubt, just complete certainty. Great presentation and a real service to your community.

@SongSecretsMomNeverTaughtYou Месяц назад

This was fantastic! Regarding your future plans of doing a video like this for chords, there's actually a great book that explains the "psycho-acoustic" tendencies of both chords and melodic intervals called "How Music Really Works" by Wayne Chase. It goes into a lot of detail about the harmonic version of this circle which actually has a name that's different than the circle of fifths, called "harmonic circular scale" because it's based on an actual parent key referencing a tonic, and features an organizational directional flow based on interval forces (whereas the COF doesn't do that). A lot of those concepts were also referenced from an older book in 1959 by Victor Zuckerkandl called "The Sense of Music," which Wayne said was a source in his research. I highly recommend checking out HMRW first before releasing a video on the chords, as there's some interesting patterns and types of progressions that aren't mentioned on youtube yet. Cheers!

Cool! I will definitely check that out today. Thank you. Always looking for more stuff on this topic.

I remember as a boy, hearing the drone of powered machinery and doing this exact thing to create melodies and harmonies in my head. Exercises like this are truly the foundation of all musical ear training. Once you master this and apply the theory to an instrument, you can play most music without even looking at a musical score, lead sheet, or chord chart.

On the overtones subject, the easy thing to do there is to play a sine wave in comparison, which has no overtones, to make it obvious. Another thing maybe to point out about 3 is that, because of our immersion in this scale system, 4 and 5 sound like intervals, but 3 sort of sounds like a chord. It introduces major'ness, which anyone born into the western system will feel in a certain way.

I love this! It resonates (pun...unavoidable!) with how I help people navigate "the unknown" via this kind of primordial approach to piano improv. It's about the sound itself and the feelings that each note (and each combination of notes) generates in our bodies and our moment-to-moment experience. From this level of presence, we connect more deeply with our creative channel. It's fun to hear sentences coming from you that are so similar to how I express these experiences/ideas/concepts. Grounding our understanding of sound in an awareness of how the overtone series works brings us to a much more experiential understanding of it all. Great stuff, Max, good to find out about you. :-)
