The huge keysmashes sound fine in the context of the song because they're basically being used as percussion

This piece made the art of black midis known i think

@FireyDeath4 Год назад

Black midi composers tend to put in a lot of redundant and very quiet notes to get the note count up. They aren't really meant to be performable by humans unless they're simplified, although compound sounds are generally totally impossible (this is where they mess with the waveforms by stacking notes extremely close together). People put a lot of focus into adding visuals and either piling things in until it lags with powerful graphics/audio hardware, or greatly slows down the render time, but it's still important to remember it's a musical genre, and it's good to focus on the piece sounding good and using the notes to help add auditory details and quality. Rush E 2 and a couple of Touhou tracks uploaded early on by TheBrowntown21 seem to do this fairly well.

@1pre1 Год назад

This is a very interesting video, it was cool how you stopped at each section as the midi got more impossible and explain it. It's always nice too see someone how actually knows what they're talking about, and not just some random kid saying "just roll on the piano to play this!!"

Voiceplay is an acapella group known as the Theater Kids because they love to dress up in their videos. They are also very comical but keep true to the music but putting their own spin on the videos. They recently released a video of this. Dressing up as trolls around a cauldron. I would love for you to react to it beings you reached to this. Great reaction btw.

@marshayoung9387 Год назад

Please react to Voice Plays cover of In The Hall Of the Mountain King. They are a very theatrical acapella group & this arrangement of theirs is so different from anything you will ever hear. They are a total package. They are their own production company & everything you see is all them.

This one was one of the first times I've ever seen such a thing as "black midi" and back then i commented how it made me feel very dizzy (in a good way) because i got so overwhelmed and impressed by this impossible thing. Sometimes i wish i could erase my memory and get that first reaction again, just the sheer power this thing had over me... And now i like noise music :)

@nafieseabdul3690 8 месяцев назад

I’m not so sure about that last part of the video I mean, bro, the piano almost caught on fire when it was playing Rush E. Perhaps, playing that song on that piano…wasn’t such a good idea considering the fact that the song has more than a thousand notes added to it.

3:28 I'm not an expert in sheet music or anything like that, but I *think* that it still comes out sounding like it should with those extra bits at least partially because there's just so much more stuff going into the... primary melody? Whatever it's called in this instance, than there is extraneous stuff.

What exactly is a Black Midi, is it a variation of a Midi file?

@RicMoreau Год назад

I am surprised that you, Matthew, haven't mentioned the main reason for this type of "black" composition is it's visual impact. That audible result is not exactly pleasing and of course it's impossible for a human to play (though you do a very good job of parts of it). But it's very pretty to watch, like a '90's Laser Show. I would never criticize you and I enjoy your reactions to everything I've seen. What I haven't seen that I would like to see is your reaction to Gershwin, specifically Concerto in F. It's fascinating rhythm (pun intended), split second timing, the weaving of many themes leave me breathless! Gershwin never plays anything the same way twice. I wish Rousseau would digitize it, I'd love to see that! Anyway, kudos on your channel and I'm watching!

@4Bakers Год назад

Those big green segments that are slamming an entire octave are only okay sounding because MIDI allows each note's volume to be controlled individually and these Black MIDI files abuse that to build complex sounds with many layers. That layer is for visual flair and is very quiet
