[All WESTERN Scales Possible] Macrotonal, Microtonal, Femtotonal, Commatonal, Just Intonation, Regular Temperament Theory, Ethnomusicology, Moment of Symmetry Scales and million other things are excluded, this is not hate, I like this kind of Post Tonal thing, but this is just western culture
@@MatthewIvic Yeah, just intonation scales, temperaments and other theories have an extreme overwhelming dissonance of changing scales (keys is just major scale (as all inauthentic classical), there's lots of scales, I like some gypsy ones, like these found in the Palos of flamenco (not all Spanish music is flamenco (flamenco is Romani)) as all Romani (yeah, Hungarian gypsy, Ruska Roma, they are all Romani, the distinction is kinda racial slur)), but that's the idea of use them, major is just so repetitive, it's so flat, it's so redundant, it's so unexpressive, the baroque loved the temperaments because of the expression, because they are representing real extreme emotions with these really nice dissonances, btw 22 EDO is way more amazing than 12 EDO, these consonances are just so beautiful, I love "microtonality" (non 12 EDO redundant 99,9999% of european american music) because they have way better consonances and expression, and even way more emotions, just listen to the "thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns" all the book sounds the same, the most redundant book I've seen Damn Sorry dude, I'm mad with my life
I see this was posted 9 hours ago, so that means you must have finished watching the video just now. I'm sure your body, mind, and soul are still in shock from the scalar ecstasy, but I want to thank you for your comment, Trayson!
Many people have made videos about calculating/theorizing the number of possible musical scales, but no one has had the guts, the ambition, or the gusto to write out every single one... Well, technically, neither did I (I wrote a program to generate the score/MIDI and edited the video together), but the work still needed to be done. :P
@@EllieMcEla The Forte Numbers are for set theory. It's a big ordered pitch set catalog essentially. The point of this video was to show in notation/MIDI playback every possible scale, mode, and transposition within the octave using twelve-tones. It's supposed to be absurd as it's almost 9 hours of scales. Technically speaking, though, there are an infinite set of scales. It all depends your definition of scale. If I decided to include quarter tones, suddenly we have a ton more scales that exist outside conventional music theory. Alternatively, I could include notes that occur past the octave in my definition, or a combination of set classes at a particular interval. Whatever floats your boat really.
