Just if you're going to try to turn someone onto a new genre/style at least give some higher quality examples. These were more like a garage band quality if you will compared to a lot of the good stuff that is out there.

@geoffstockton 9 лет назад

It's important to understand that the pure major scale isn't something that was invented or decided by any individual or group of individuals. It's the most naturally occurring family of 7 tones to exist. Every note has a series overtones which ring above the fundamental pitch. The first overtone is the octave which is of course the same pitch but the next one in line is that of the perfect 5th. This is scientifically and mathematically the closest relative to the fundamental pitch. That's why regardless of what culture you might claim, when you hear a root and perfect 5th sounded together, what you hear is two notes agreeing. You could hammer the flat 6th into peoples skulls for 5 centuries and it will never sound more pleasing to them than the perfect 5th. That would be like trying to condition people to accept the look of imperfect shapes over perfect shapes. Just as it's obvious to the eye when things are balanced, so it is with the ear. The enjoyment of extreme levels of dissonance isn't a matter of the crazy-assed music all of the sudden sounding good to your ears as much as it's a process of learning to love and appreciate what's so damned ugly about it. Oh yeah, and if you string 7 of those perfect 5th relationships together you have a major scale. If you go up in perfect 5ths from F for instance, you'll get F, C, G, D, A, E, B, the seven notes of the C major scale. There's a lot more to it, as in there are other harmonious relationships that exist between the major scale notes or those of any of the major scale's modes. But the string of perfect 5ths equalling the major scale is a big one. I wrote a guitar book with a big section regarding that stuff. Info and links available on my channel. Hope I could shed some light. I love your show. I'm a new fan.

How come the Indian music sounds.. Enjoyable? As in, even though it uses a different tonal system than ours it still sounds relatively normal?

@geoffstockton 9 лет назад

It is based on the same system as ours, just more intricately measured, but Sa Re Ga Pa Ma Ni Si are just the tones of a naturally occurring major scale. Those are their 7 natural notes and all the ragas and melas (basically scales with specific rules) are variations compared directly to those 7 natural tones. The major scale.

@acreil 9 лет назад

Geoff Stockton While the major diatonic scale is mathematically simplest, it's not by itself sufficient for a lot of interesting music. Plenty of music makes good use of blues, melodic minor, harmonic major, whole tone, diminished, etc. scales. So there's lots of room for things outside of the major scale, but 12 equal only has a fairly small number of useful scales. Microtonality opens the door to both more consonant renditions of the usual scales, and a much broader spectrum of novel scales. The fact that they're not mathematically simplest doesn't mean they can't still be quite consonant and musical. Also, while it works in 12 equal, using consecutive fifths isn't generally the best way to derive the major scale. It's actually the 5 limit just intonation major scale that's most consonant. Consecutive fifths gives you the Pythagorean major scale, which is significantly more dissonant. They're equivalent in 12 equal because the intervals are close to Pythagorean, but it doesn't generally work in just intonation or other temperaments.

@ACoolStupidDog 9 лет назад

You could have touched on fretless basses (or other fretless instruments). As a fretless bass player, I can tell you that it permits you to use a much more "wide" approach to the instrument, although it can also sound terrible and random if played imprecisely. Jeoren Paul Thesseling (ex-Obscura) uses the micro-tonal system a lot in his work, though more subtly than Last Sacrament, and it adds an oriental vibe to his works sometimes, I recommend listening to him.

@Codemarla 9 лет назад

I came here to say the same thing. Fretless bass players unite :-)

@miss_shinku 9 лет назад

I know, I was a bit confused myself. Some well known instruments with no frets are quite obvious... violin, viola, cello, bass. Glissandos preformed on these instruments are just a literal slide, playing every possible tone inbetween. Why wasn't this discussed? It seems way more obvious than talking about guitars with tons of frets. I'm surprised there was even an episode on this, I assumed that this subject wasn't that unknown actually.

@thisexists 9 лет назад

***** ACoolStupidDog Code: Marla There's some great videos of Tolgahan Çoğulu, who's playing acoustic in this video, performing with another guy on fretless guitar. While the slides and bends you get on stringed instruments playing otherwise standard western music technically falls into this category, it's certainly not the same a band like Last Sacrament doing deliberately microtonal music.

@Codemarla 9 лет назад

This Exists True. Traditionally fretless players are still sticking to the standard 12 notes and only tend to play the "in between" notes when sliding or bending but there is nothing to stop a fretless player playing this type of micro-tonal music without having a specially adapted instrument. One would simply play slightly "off key" instead.

Two issues with the video. First, all of the microtonal music shown was really dissonant. It's actually quite possible to have nice-sounding microtonal music -- microtonal music that you can actually sing along to, in fact! Second, you can play microtonal music easily on any fretless string instrument, like a violin or an oud or a trombone or a theremin. You don't have to work very hard to find one of those! You can, of course, *sing* microtonal music without buying anything. And there are software synths that let you play microtonal music on a tablet. You don't actually need to do any modding.

@boptillyouflop 9 лет назад

+Dojix Arabic music has scales that have neutral 2nds, 3rds, 6ths and 7ths that are halfway between minor intervals and major intervals: Rast is basically major with lowered 3rds and 7ths, Bayati is minor with lowered 2nds and 6ths, and Sikah is very strange - it's kindof like Rast except that it starts on the lowered 3rd.

@nuberiffic 9 лет назад

+Alter Kater With the violin, that's not actually microtonal. Playing the scale differently ascending versus descending is how the melodic minor scale is played. It's the same on all instruments. What violins do do though is just intonation. Unlike a piano or guitar, you can finely adjust the pitch of the note you are playing to bring it into perfect harmony, something a guitar can't always do due to the frets (all guitars are slightly out of tune on the majority of notes). You could play microtonal music on a violin, but traditionally it is used for 12 TET / 12 just tunings.

@FlorianFahrenberger 9 лет назад

While experimenting with microtonal scales is fun and I certainly don't want to discourage it, there absolutely is a reason why most peoples' (and not just western) music ends up with the same or very similar scales. It's just the natural physics of the acoustic waves. Each note played on an instruments consists of the base frequency and many overtones (or harmonics) that are just multiples of the base frequency (e.g. 440 Hz for A and then 880, 1320, 1760 Hertz, ...). And if you look at these overtones, the first twelve of them (except for the weird seventh) will make up the normal 12-tone-scale we are used to hearing. Any harmonics above these 12 are usually very high pitched and so quiet that humans can't detect them anymore. So, what I'm saying is: If you for example pick a string, you are really not hearing one single note, but many. And the spectrum you hear does already make up the so-called "western scale" that we are used to and that many disconnected tribes all over the world figured out. Going away from this scale can be considered (to put it carefully) experimental or (to put more harshly) breaking through the boundaries we are suggested by acoustical physics. All this being said, I still wonder even today whether microtonal music sounds so weird and off-tune because it breaks the natural scale suggested by harmonics or because we are just so very used to the sound of the western scale from even before birth... and honestly, I don't know the answer.

@FlorianFahrenberger 9 лет назад

***** Well, yes, but being slightly off perfect pitch and within a alternate scale are two very different things. I know very few people (some musicians included) who can tell the difference between well-tempered and perfect intervals. Whereas most people I know will notice if there is a quarter tone step somewhere in a scale. ;) Additionally, most western instruments (pianos being one of the few exceptions) do not have a well-tempered pitch and it's really just about the scale they play.

@acreil 9 лет назад

Florian Fahrenberger You're wrong (or at least unclear) about this in a number of ways. First, 12 equal does not represent the first 12 harmonics; I think the simplest temperament that does that with any accuracy is 72 equal. Regarding the harmonic series, the odd prime numbered harmonics (3, 5, 7, 11, 13...) are the only ones that count (prime limits). The second harmonic (octave) is present in any temperament that assumes octave equivalence (i.e. almost all of them), and the others (4, 6, 8, 10, 12...) are redundant. In 12 equal, the third harmonic is well represented, as the fourths and fifths are in tune within about 2 cents. The fifth harmonic is also present, but it's not very accurate, as the major third is significantly out of tune (14 cents sharp). The seventh and eleventh harmonics aren't represented at all. And there are certainly still musically useful intervals to be found beyond that. 12 equal is merely the simplest equal temperament that does a good job at 3 limit harmony and a mediocre job at 5 limit. This is by no means optimal, as there are plenty of other temperaments (19, 31, 53, and 72 equal are particularly good) that are better for 5 limit harmony and add other useful intervals that aren't present at all in 12 equal. Microtonality does not mean abandoning consonance; in many cases the goal is to enhance and extend it. The examples at 0:15 and 4:51 are undeniably highly consonant, even though they contain some exotic intervals and sound very different from 12 equal. The fact that some of the other material shown is either unfamiliar or intentionally dissonant doesn't mean that it's bad or not worth exploring, or that 12 equal is the best overall choice. I think the video does a poor job at providing context and explaining theory, so it's easy for the uninitiated listener to assume that all microtonal music is senselessly dissonant, but that's not at all the case.

@acreil 9 лет назад

***** It's true that much of preference is a matter of conditioning, and there's certainly plenty of room for pitch deviations and dissonance for expressive purposes. But it's not at all correct to assume that 12 equal has a uniquely solid mathematical basis that isn't present in microtonal music. Many people interested in microtonality are seeking purer consonances and a broader range of intervals than what's normally available. Much of the theory behind it is intensely mathematical, whether the music sounds consonant and familiar or not. Deviation from the standard system doesn't mean arbitrary disorder.

@acreil 9 лет назад

***** The problem is that 12 equal isn't generally "more mathematically consonant". It was only ever a mediocre compromise. And I'd argue even that becoming acclimated to dissonant intervals and chords in 12 equal was a necessity because of its relative lack of tonal resources; at some point there's nowhere else to go. In various other temperaments you can play really wild and exotic 6 note chords that sound highly consonant. Dissonance is of course still available if needed, but the real advantage is that you can have both harmonic complexity and consonance at the same time. This isn't possible in 12 equal.

+Daedelus btw, we've had quarter/three-quarter sharps and flats since the days of Schoenberg so you actually can compose anything you would in "microtonal" music, using expressionist theory (or serialism as this dude calls it, but we're not in the 50s anymore, everyone says expressionism or 12 TET) further subdividing the scales doesn't make you any better of a composer, it just gives you a bigger ego. unlike this microtonal nonsense, expressionism doesn't just throw out the rules for the sake of looking cool, expressionism leaves behinds the rules of conventional western theory, to demonstrated that melody is relative, by doing things like taking a discordant phrase or chord progression (A), following it up with an even more discordant piece (B), and by doing that, when you return to (A), (A) suddenly seems melody in relation to (B). microtonal music has no such point or goal to it, because its music for easily impressed simpletons, by easily impressed simpletons. don't let these 12 year old headbangers bother you. we were all 12 once, and we all masturbated furiously to anything that shredded, but they'll grow out of it, or so long as they keep playing and learning. = poo Read more Show less

Great video! One small criticism: the Schoenberg Piano piece you used as an example - the first movement of Op. 11 - is technically pre-12-tone. The set was composed before the 12-tone technique was developed by Schoenberg in the 20s and come under the heading of 'free atonality'. Otherwise, lovely work and great introduction to these musics. Long Live Rowdy Roddy Piper!

@OfficialREVENGEMusic 7 лет назад

what you can do if you produce music via midi in a daw is you can shift certain vst's down 50 centitones which is 1/2 of 1 semitone and thus you can easily have microtonal music if you're an electronic producer.

@clarkfeeley1959 9 лет назад

Very informative video but... I would argue that any fretted instrument has a near infinite micro tonal capability through string bending. Vibrato I would also suggest in theory is kinda of a micro tonal technique as well. Throw in a tremolo arm combined with a floating bridge setup, I believe you hear a lot more non western scales in current music than you might think.

@B3Band 9 лет назад

***** How often do those tones appear without first reaching them from a "standard" tone, though?

@powck 9 лет назад

+Bloodbath and Beyond how you take these notes is irrelevant, they are frequent in a lot of music. In blues or jazz, a note not part of the scale is called a blue note, and is a note played slightly lower (or sometimes higher) than the original note. They are common as fuck, especially the slightly lowered third.

@nuberiffic 9 лет назад

+powck These modified notes are common in a lot of music, eg the blues. But that does not make them microtonal. The player is replacing a note with a modified one, not using both of them to create a melody.

@clarkfeeley1959 9 лет назад

I'd rather use them as flavor. A micro tone melody comes across like an ameture who can't even tune their instrument.

@KiLLclangames 9 лет назад

Let's break this down scientifically a tone is a set sound in which the ear hears so then we have to break down the word sound a sound is vibration moving at a certain frequency so now in a waveform they your ear then receives and changes into sound. So if you take frequency ranging from 1 Micro Hertz to 60 megahertz which sounds will you hear. Wonder if the decibles are sub decibels and what if they are over 60 decibels. For example take your hand and play a beat on your counter you'll notice each hit sounds slightly different listen very closely and you'll hear that each hit has its own unique pitch so. After reading what I have just wrote do you understand that a true scale of each individual frequency would be massive so using the eastern scale just simplifies things for people who need them simplified

@TheMullerClan 9 лет назад

If you look at a proper sweep sound from eg 20Hz to 20kHz and imagine it as a graph, the frequency constantly changes at any point of the curve you look at. Western notes (measured by their frequencies) are just some few points on that graph. The scales sort out the pitches that match for a specific musical system, eg western music. That's what you meant, right? :)

@gioracarmi 9 лет назад

I think that microtonal music brings about a more subtle perception of sound, music, composition, art, and life. and this is a step towards perceiving energy and the vibrations of things. It is wonderful, because communication becomes much richer and open when you perceive energy. You don't have to talk in order to know. I like this series very much. Thank you.

@JakeFace0 8 лет назад

Muse's "Psycho" uses microtones. In the intro riff, the guitarist bends the last two notes up for something which, on paper, should sound like bending from a G to a G#. However he actually doesn't bend the note that far, resting somewhere between G and G#. It's a bit closer to G I think and bending it the whole way sounds wrong or off.

@JakeFace0 8 лет назад

Pat B Yes but the question is are you using the music for the notes themselves? A whammy bar isn't about widening your tonal range, it about making your music go wahwahwahwahwah. There's an obvious difference between microtonal music and just plain trills.

@rocknroll81 8 лет назад

no... you can move between notes with a trem bar. .another obvious thing I didn't mention is just human vocal chords. in western music, vocals always go "microtonal". and you can write it all out.

Before the accordion spread across Europe, there were many different tuning systems. Particular groups would have there own or a town might have a system no one else used. Then they got an accordion. It couldn't be retuned, so they retuned everything else to match it. Which would be less annoying if accordions weren't awful.

The major hole is that technically microtonal notes are achievable by tuning (And using a microphone-tuner for best accuracy). But with instruments like woodwinds, which requires both hands and the mouthpiece out to tune, you can't exactly switch on the fly like the special instruments shown in this video. Oh, and "Impossible Colors" are colors that you CAN'T see.

There's a modal system called Maqamat which is generally used in Arab and Turkish musical traditions that uses microtonal intervals which I wished you would have covered.

@guidemeChrist 9 лет назад

It's not really that there are "more notes". Pretty much any interval that sounds consonant and is musically useful is represented by one of the notes in the 12-tone equal temperament, it's just that on a microtonal instrument you can approximate some of the intervals a lot more precisely. The overly sharp dominant 7th you hear on your piano can be played almost exactly in harmony on the Tonal Plexus.

@RMarsupial 9 лет назад

No. Define "musically useful". Just because twelve-tone ET is what you're used to in no way means it's "the best".

@guidemeChrist 9 лет назад

R. Ringshifter By "musically useful" in this case I mean notes that are mathematically consonant. This is not a question of cultural preference, it's maths. Of course, you can use dissonance for a musical effect; we do that all the time, so maybe that wasn't the best wording on my part.

@rexterrocks 8 лет назад

I first learnt to play the violin and then went onto guitar and bass but I have been learning to play the Indian Sitar for over 10 years. It was a whole new ball game. You have movable frets(bunds) and the amount of pitch variation around any single one is very wide. You don't need a special bass or guitar with micro tonal frets to play the inbetween notes. Just use a fretless. You don't see many fretless guitars but I was amazed how good they sounded when I first tried one.

@Shortninja66 9 лет назад

Wouldn't a fret less bass have infinite note possibilities?

@TheProCactus 9 лет назад

@highac3s 9 лет назад

TheProCactus How exactly would that make it not infinite?

@TheProCactus 9 лет назад

highac3s Simple physics! The strings are a fixed length. You can only make them go as low as the string is long. As for the higher notes, You can only go as high as you can play a short string. I'm not a guitarologist. You're usage of the word infinite is misused too often by people that don't really understand what infinite stands for.

@smileyball 9 лет назад

TheProCactus There is an infinite number of real numbers in any non-zero interval, even if the interval itself is finite in magnitude. Similarly, a fretless string may have a finite pitch interval (aka a max/min playable frequency), but the number of distinct notes is theoretically infinite. In practice, there are physical limitations. Nevertheless, the word "infinite" has not been misused.

@TheProCactus 9 лет назад

00Void Yes I agree. But I still think it was used wrong.

Impossible colours? I think not! I made a paint once that could only be described as "fluorescent brown". It was hideous! About microtonal instruments: Couldn't we say that a fretless bass, a Theremin, or a drum were microtonal and only the manner of operating them was conventional? I used to retune one or two of my drums for a specific song in order to create a dissonance that I suppose could be described as microtonal. Otherwise, I had them form a "proper" chord. I've always liked that Black Flag song, btw. Never knew what it was called before.

@RMarsupial 9 лет назад

I wouldn't count the drum... sure, you can retune it, but if you retune a piano (or any instrument you can retune) you can hit the "hidden" notes.

@jimevans1809 9 лет назад

R. Ringshifter I think the difference is that a piano is intended to be tuned to specific pitches, where a drum is not. Interesting thing about pianos I heard once, was that they're very slightly out of "true" tune naturally and intentionally. Not sure why, though.

@akm5176 9 лет назад

Yoshio Tamiya Pianos are indeed not tuned 100% correctly- if you look at each note individually. In part, this is because it just wouldnt sound good, there is also a concern that the strings would resonate off of one another causing poor harmony. Additionally, pitches have under and over tones which rresonateabove and below the true pitch naturally. So, an entirely unique method of tuning is in place for pianos and like instruments. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_tuning In a nutshell though, there are lots of ways to tune different instruments. For example, I play violin and tune 440A, other countries tune to a different pitch.

@AJtheGuitarist38 7 лет назад

Arnold Schoenberg is the name of the composer, not the scale. The entire 12 note entity is called a tone row, and the full 12x12 grid is called a tone matrix. If you want more serialists like Schoenberg, I would recommend Anton Webern's works and Alban Berg's works. Granted, the Schoenberg example in the video isn't dodecaphonic. However, all of his works past 1921 were dodecaphonic.

This video fails to discuss the complexity of why people of so many different cultures disagree on what tuning should be as equal temperament is inherently out of tune. Why do orchestras play a sharper major third or sound out of tune with an equal temperament organ? There is disagreement on this going back to Greece with Pythagorus' divine ratios. If you get technical, the adjustments have to be made for each key change and there are keyboards that exist from that went beyond the 12 notes in equal temperament before it became the agreed upon standard as a compromise.

I happened to have dropped out of TWO very fine music institutes. I know what I'm talking about. ok. do a little more research next time. I guarantee you that a talented western musician, like jimi hendrix for example, can get any fucking microtone out of his instrument that he wants to. and some other genius can figure out a way to write it out in sheet music. ok? ok.

@GraemePryce1978 8 лет назад

@thisistides97 8 лет назад

+Jesse Cole actually, that's what the standard modern day piano is; out of tune. Any chord needs to have an adjusted third to actually be in tune, and because the piano is tuned to equal temperament, the form of piano that we consider "good" is actually horribly out of tune every time it plays a chord. Most of this is offensive to the sensibilities because we learn to think it's terrible when it actually corrects the errors of most temperament systems.

@GraemePryce1978 8 лет назад
