My daughter takes ballet. A few years ago, her class was involved in a dance that was rather slow (not quite a largo, but nearly so) for a group of seven year olds. This age group / level does this dance every year, and every year they have oodles of trouble slowing their little, performance-excited bodies down to follow the tempo. Inevitably, what ends up happening is, by about halfway through the piece, each dancer in the group ends up anywhere between one and four measures ahead. All except the one dancer who is DETERMINED to keep the beat regardless of the rest of her fellow dancers jumping ahead. Unfortunately, she ends up looking like she's fallen behind, rather than the other way around. They're seven. It's adorable. 😍
@Packbat
@Packbat 2 года назад
...wow - okay, so, that actually makes me wonder: if you think about your legs as pendulums, the shorter the pendulum, the faster it wants to swing. Is dancing so slowly hard because they're young and still learning ... or is it _also_ hard because their bodies are smaller and naturally swing faster? I'd love to see studies relating the lower end of rhythmic perception with leg length, see if something's there.

Man that sounds like torture. Like when you're on coke and you have to go outside to withdraw more money to buy more, and you're just overflowing with energy but you have to stand as still and calmly as possible to not draw attention. Kids obviously don't need drugs to be like that, they're just like that at all times. Like, just let em dance! I suppose it's probably a good way for them to learn to be more in control of their energy. When I was a kid I did karate, from about age 7 as well funnily enough, and it taught me that. So often you were told to just hold the position and not move at all. Even when you were on one foot. That learning to balance properly and learning to control your energy and be rock solid, is really good for kids. Karate is basically like ballet anyway, except less dangerous. The injuries in ballet are pretty gruesome. But there's a reason quite a few MMA guys take ballet (and Arnold Schwarzenegger also did ballet, to help win bodybuilding competitions). It's all the same sort of movement. And it's all about balance. And for young kids, it's great to help them learn how to not act out and sprint around constantly, cos they learn how to stay calm and controlled energy-wise. Really every kid who doesn't have a disability should do one of these things. Not just for the exercise factor. I just can't imagine many boys wanna take ballet, which is why you have to trick them and make them do karate instead, and they have no idea how similar the two things are. And when you're a kid taking karate, the vast majority of the time you never actually fight each other, so it's not like your kid will get beat up a lot. They sometimes make you do kumite, i.e. fighting tournaments, but you're not allowed to really hit each other, you have to lightly tap each other with your fists, and you score points when you do, and you get disqualified if you actually hurt them. That's why ballet is more dangerous funnily enough. My sisters both got some really nasty injuries from ballet, including both of them breaking their legs, along with getting really gnarly looking feet. But they don't regret taking ballet, they loved it.

@miedzystrunami
@miedzystrunami 2 года назад
Something does not feel quite right here, I feel like the argument is flawed. The video starts with the definition of the "indifference interval" and concludes with people on the concerts gravitating towards the "wonky 3/4" which turns out to be around the tempo of the indifference interval. But correlation does not mean causation. I'd question the suggestion that they do so because it's the most natural or something. They do so, because Shawn pushes them there by enforcing the wonky 3/4 with the kick drum - they just follow him. The melodic lines and patterns also revolve around that pulse. It says more about you as the group finding the most appealing way to divide those 19-tuplets - you made 3 groups out of it - and hence your own gravitation towards the indifference interval, rather than about the listeners and their preference - the latter is just a consequence of your own choice, not a law of nature. What I'd love to see is how people would react if those 19-tuplets were divided into a greater number of subdivisions, one that is more far away from 100 BPM: what if the kick played every 5 "sixteenths", resulting in a wonky 4/4 in quintuplets with last group a sixteenth short? What if the kick played every 4 "sixteenths", with wonky 5/4 and last beat 1 short? What about series of 5 triplets followed by 4 notes? I'm very curious how the listeners would count this if the kick would follow any of those patterns. I'm pretty convinced they'd just follow the kick drum, because this is what we as listeners are conditioned to follow, and it does not really matter if it fits the indifference interval or not, and whether the resulting pulse is a compromise between extremities or not. Unless of course you have experimented with different divisions of those 19-tuplets - if so, and if you rejected 4, 5, 6 subdivisions, I'd be very happy to learn why you chose 3 instead, and whether it was because it felt best, or for some other reason.

When you play it do you feel it in 3/4 with a little more sometimes or do you actually count some divisions of 19?

I am from 1956. And yet you have been feeding me so much information, inspiration and ideas, that I am re-inspired again and again by your - what I would call expansion of the musical universe.

Hi Adam - regarding how crowds make it easier to count slower rhythm- I think this is just the effect of crowd synchrony that happens in a lot of similar situation. If everyone sort of feels the rhythm but either rush or drag, on the total they even out and people tend to gravitate towards the correct felt average. This is I think kind of how singing crowds sound much more in tune than any single individual in them. This dynamic is actually kind of well described mathematically, in what is called the Kuramoto model and the work of Steven strogatz.

To be honest when I saw sungazer do this tune, I immediately started subdividing to keep the tempo. Before you guys started playing the fast notes I was naturally counting each beat as a measure of 6/8. I suspect given the nature of that band and the people who come to see it(probably way more musicians than your average audience), you'd get very different results if you tried the same slow counting exercise at an average pop show.

This is exactly what I did while watching the video! At the start of the "One! Two! Three! Four!" I was already bobbing along in 6/8. After getting to the later section explaining the not-quite-3/4 it made a lot more sense. Would definitely be curious to see what results you'd get from a different type of crowd.

Doom Metal is genre that plays a lot with these extremely slow tempos, this video reminded me of the 2017 Bell Witch's "Mirror Reaper" album which experiments a lot with time, in it we kind of pay more attention to the space between notes than the normal progression of notes. Great video!

I read once that 100ms is also the threshold below which things appear to be visually instantaneous. For instance, if you click a button on a computer screen and the screen is redrawn in less than 100ms, it appears to be an instant response. Above 100ms, we can perceive the difference between stimulus and response. Wonder if that’s related?
@Vedgy

100ms is different than 100bpm, keep in mind. 100bpm is one beat per 600ms if my math is right. But generally with web animations you want to do 250 or 300ms depending on a couple things. There's probably some relationship but 100 isn't a magic number.

The psychology of that stuff is weird. The other guy is right, the slightest recording latency in your DAW will throw you off. I find you can get away with up to ~60 ms stereo delay before a track starts to sound out of time with itself and obviously doubled, but 1 ms has a very noticeable effect.

yeah in video games inputs, 100ms is considered the acceptable response threshold, beyond which the lag is noticeable by anyone. though hard code players do feel it "sluggish", compared to roughly 60ms which is what AAA shooter fans expect (and which is the minimum possible with current, non-specialised, hardware and game engines)

One thing I think that's neat: whereas many genres have a kind of standard tempo range, within metal there are extremely fast subgenres (grind and death come to mind, having tempos near 300 bpm) all the way down to funeral doom, with tempos below 50 bpm. I know jazz and avant garde stuff also spans just about the whole spectrum, but I think it's neat that metal, a less traditionally respected genre also does it.

I recently did a cover on my channel of "Clarity" by Mouse on the Keys (which is in 11/8) but when I talked about it to my friends it felt more natural to feel it as a 12/8 with just a little lopsidedness to take away an eighth over time in the groove. Playing it still required the counting, but for listening only imo it's easier to fall into the "approximate" rhythm

King Gizz have a song called perihelion, Leprous release an album called aphelion, sungazer release an album called perihelion.

@pwhqngl0evzeg7z37
@pwhqngl0evzeg7z37 2 года назад
Interesting interpretation. When I look at (peri|ap)helion I notice first "helio," so we have "thing close to sun." As album/song titles, this makes me think less of personal connections, and more of a connection between a body and an ideal, or a grand figure, or some sort of brilliant entity, a "sun." Perhaps this represents a striving, an optimistic title, or perhaps it's an uncomfortable situation in the glare and heat. Going with "aphelion" instead it may mean a solitude, a wallowing, a darkness (on-the-nose, yes), or perhaps also a shelter from the blaze. Or perhaps it's just "ooh cool science word."

You need to check out some of the extreme ends of this in metal-- I suggest "Mirror Reaper" by the band Bell Witch (slow end), and anything off the album "The Lucid Collective" by the band Archspire (the very fast end). Thresholds can be very adaptive based on experience/ immersion variables in such an environment. Two bands that also brilliantly utilize the liminal concepts are Between the Buried and Me (their album Colors for example), and The Contortionist (their album Language I is prime for this, check them out too).

For those wondering why Adam Neely is driving with his glasses on so weird, it is probably because they are an old pair. You can get a sharper image out of old glasses with an out of date prescription by tilting the lenses forward like he has them. Driving long distances and wearing contacts for a long time can make the eyes sore, doubly so when done at the same time, so if he can get a sharp image out of old glasses he may as well wear them while driving since nobody is going to see most of the time.

When I think of what liminal music would sound like, I think of Everywhere At The End Of Time. Which is the creepiest music ever made. It takes familiar every day things and distorts them and gives them an uncanny valley sort of effect that makes it extremely unsettling, exactly like the photos of liminal spaces do. With liminal spaces, it's every day rooms and hallways and objects that just seem wrong and out of place somehow, but you can't pinpoint what it is. With Everywhere At The End Of Time, it's using typical big band style music from the first half of the 20th century but making it sound like it's all slowly degrading, because the album is all about how alzheimers feels. I know Adam's definition makes a lot more sense as what "liminal music" really should be like. But just listen to even the first couple of minutes of Everywhere At The End Of Time and you'll hear exactly what I'm talking about

On the neuro side, this definitely has me thinking about the motor cortex and event -related desynchronization in the mu frequency band (8 - 13Hz, motor/SMA) The mu rhythm is attenuated/desynchronized to attend to the immediate event - with physical or imagined motor activity and is modulated by congruency of the objects attended to (more congruent > higher power in attenuation) - important stuff when we learn new things, across domains. We latch on to what’s most congruent to us based on prior knowledge, so a tune like Threshold is cool because it gives the listener many options for finding congruence as you so beautifully put it (4/4, tuplets, groupings). It’d be cool to look at mu rhythm desynch/attenuation and the correlation between natural motor responses to the tune and the different levels of rhythmic auditory objects and their associated congruency. I’m just daydreamin’ but there be something interesting there.
