@@1997jankuschef limp bizkit was a nu metal band in the 90s that had massive success mostly from their image that they used to jump start the carreers of a bunch of other alternative bands, polyphia is an instrumental guitar jerkoff band that has gotten exceedingly popular through their image. Beyond that calling polyphia "modern prog" when most of their songs are 4/4 verse chorus verse songs entirely made up of guitar solos is really funny to me. Don't get me wrong I like both bands.
@@8ori5 that's a hard one honestly, they're definitely a great band that does really good arranging in their compositions however I'd say that some of their hype is kinda silly. It's very much pop songs comprised of guitar solos which, if that's your thing it's unparalleled but what gets me is when people group them in with math rock and prog just because they're instrumental and guitar based. The jazz influence I also don't really see beyond like, 7th and 9th chords occasionally lol. I think their album New Levels New Devils is worth a peep if you're curious but if that doesn't grab you, nothing by them will.
@@BartMassey-PO8 It's because he is so chill that it's safe to -not- name him. And that's the joke. See also Paul David's post and take note of the time that question gets answered.
When I can't sleep, I "listen" to an album of Ivan Moravec playing Chopin that I listened to A LOT as a high school kid. My room of the house had a tin roof and the rhythms of Chopin's polonaises, mazurkas, etc. would mix with rain falling on the roof in wonderfully complex ways. I've never associated that with my mind's ear, but it is really interesting.
Aphantasia is different for a lot of people. But for most people (including myself) it’s mostly just the inability to visualize things with your minds eye, so basically you just can’t have dreams, that be it while you are sleeping or when you are awake. Some people only have trouble with one of those. I think aphantasia definitely does affect my memory but it doesn’t stem from it. Most people get confused on the subject as “you don’t remember things” but they don’t get the concept that if one can’t visualize it doesn’t mean they remember it, because we can still think and recall things. Audiation is a big help to me personally to help me remember places or help me count all my measures in band. Aphantasia is something not talked about a lot and is not understood to most people who don’t have it. Since it’s not talked about enough people that have it don’t know they have it until they learn about it (I only learned about it until I was 13). I just always love to talk about it to educate those that might have it and don’t know it yet.
I can totally relate to the comment at 6:12. Playing live now, is like playing a jury EVERY performance, because everyone has a video camera in their smartphones. And fans always want to share their experience with others. This can be a very bad thing, because maybe you didn't have a particularly good night that night. Clams-O-Plenty, but the fan thinks you're killing it, so they upload it to RUclips or Facebook for the world to see, including your peers. And your peers know you WEREN'T killing it! Every clam imprinted onto the internet for all eternity. Sometimes that mass extinction asteroid doesn't sound so bad after all.
There should be a connection between every sense and the way you form memory. You feel that with sound and vision, but you also feel it for touch, have you ever woke up a day and felt like you were like on vacation? Yes that also happens and I'm kinda sure you can do that with taste and smell as well.
Oh whoa. So there is a word for that. Audiation. I "Listen" to the studio version of Cliff Burton's - Anesthesia all the time when I'm bored. I can hear it in my head from "Bass Solo - Take One" and all the way to the end.
I can hear Bandits of the Acoustic revolutions "Call to Arms", Streetlight Manifesto's first album, Joan Jetts Bad reputation (I'm sure theres more) all in my head and had no idea that there was a name for that.
I actually audiate songs in my head all the time. My work doesn't let me use headphones while I'm on the job so I just take whatever song I was thinking about most recently and purposefully get it stuck in my head to help me destress a bit. Sometimes after a while a different song will weave itself in there and then I start repeating that. Maybe I even find out 2 songs that may work well together and so on and so on. It's a wonderful exercise.
I have noticed my mind's ear has trouble with repeated sections, like vamps, or when a phrase finishes out in the meter with "filler". I think my brain knows what is filler and literally doesn't store it. Very interesting!
The way you talk about audiation is pretty much how perfect pitch works for me. Just like someone might have a photographic memory, I essentially have that but with audio. Over time I just memorized what each pitch sounded like and would typically associate them with the key of a specific song (I still use the first note of Smash Mouth's "All Star" as my mental reference for F#). When I was younger I was very easily able to listen to a song and play it on the piano almost exactly, and it wasn't until I got to high school where my band teacher actually informed me that this was not, in fact, something that other musically inclined people could do easily (he had perfect pitch as well).
you joke about all giving kids a digital audio workstation, but getting the rytmik app on the nintendo dsi really got me into making music way more than trying for years to learn recorder (... and piano... and guitar...)
Yeah! Shout out to the aphantasia crowd (of which I am a member). That listening to an album without listening thing is NOT a challenge for me, but I couldn’t possibly tell you what anyone looks like if I close my eyes. I can describe what looking at them feels like, but it won’t mean anything to anyone else… but I sure as hell can listen to an album. There is never not music in my head. Thanks for answering that question. I feel… I don’t know… validated?
9:30 I think I could actually picture the entirety of Brave New World in my head, maybe with a few checks of the tracklist though.

I think people should try out bandlab if they want to get into making music and using DAWs. It really has a lot to offer for be a free browser based DAW. Keep in mind, I'm in no way a professional musician or producer, but I have been recording and mixing a lot more with DAWs as of late and bandlab, as flawed as it can be at times, it's pretty easy to use for beginners. I say this bc me and a band that I'm working with started using it and it has made the process making music while not being within close proximity of each other much easier.
Oh man I've been audiating ever since I was a little kid! I always say I have a song playing in my head at all times but people don't believe me hahahahah
I came here from "that time Adam Neely drank too much tea" and had put it on 2x (so 32x normal speed) for the lulz. When I came here playback was still on 2x and so the intro seemed like it was probably intentionally double-speed because it's called really fast Q&A. So anyway I highly recommend actually watching the video at 2x.
speaking of classical composers, u kinda forgot Nico Muhly, Caroline Shaw etc. Caroline sang on Kanyes Life of Pablo-album. Nico does orcehstration for pop artists between more ambitious projects etc.

I have a hard time visualising anything but I can hear anything I want in my head, sometimes my audio processing time is a bit off with spoken words but I can buffer what's been said and replay it to actually comprehend it. When I write bass for my band often I'm listening to the demo being played in another room and I hear ghost bass that isn't there, stop what I'm doing and grab a bass
hey adam have you followed any of the twitch DMCA stuff lately? id love to hear your opinion on people using background music, cause it seems kinda crazy how harsh the DMCA rules are. also if i request a streamer play a sungazer song would you have an issue with that, and would it be a DMCA problem. love the videos!!
As soon as you explained the premise of audiation I just tried to start playing a random album I know super well in my head and instead of paying attention to the end of the video I was listening to Speak To Me / Breathe by Pink Floyd.
Imagine there is an apocalypse where everything was destroyed and nobody remembers what Mozart sounds like, or Metallica, or any band really. You were cryogenically frozen and have a task to recreate this music using only your memory. How well can you recreate the masterpieces note by note? Would you make the Beatles?
SPEAKING OF audiation. Ever get stuck on an annoying earworm? I have trained my mind into replacing it with "The Final Countdown", which is IMHO a much more pleasant earworm. Some might disagree, but the technique works. Pick your antidote. :)
Died laughing at Adam's response to the Christmas question. More dystopian-Christmas-reharmonizations-hoist-by-their-own-overplayed-diminished-tropes, please!
How can I approach improvisation, coming from a super classical background (I play piano, cello and classical alto sax)? Should I get a teacher or are there ways to learn by myself?
As someone who is now primarily a vocalist, it doesn’t matter what key it’s in as long as you know I’m not a superhuman and can’t sing an A5 consistently over and over again without wanting to kill myself
Hey Adam. I was listening to some Brazilian music and I found myself trying to analyze two songs that I really like. One from Milton Nascimento and the other from Tom Jobim. Travessia (Bridge) from Milton's album courage is amazing and Luiza from Jobim ... what can you say about Jobim.... Do you know any of them? It would be a terrific video to analyze/reharmonize them...
I can play a lot of albums in my head in their entirety, I thought everyone can do that. But I'm not a musician, never played a note on any instrument. Now I'm rethinking a lot of my life choices and it doesn't feel good :(
Don't feel too bad, you can always start now. And just because you have a good memory doesn't make you a good artist, you must be able to embody your visions
@@tweeshrew no he means the keyboard on the slide-out desk drawer. I have my midi controllers slide out from under my desk as well - keeps the desk nice and clean and is very satisfying
Was looking for this comment, and agree of course. It´s pronounced "ock", which makes no sense. Not sure why one of the most common words is spelled a way that doesn't follow convention.
@@carlkolthoff5402 Well, usually the words that are most common in a language are "allowed" to be very irregular. If you hear and use a word constantly, you don't question it, because you are so familiar with it. But if there's a very rare word, you have to go by more general rules to conjugate it, so even if it's not regular originally, it is changed over time to be more normal. E.g.: "to be", "I am", "you are" and "he/she/it is" are extremely different, but no one notices or cares.
@@carlkolthoff5402 Well, it's only pronounced that way in formal speech, it's actually just the vowel 'å' in most speech anyway. When you spell it with a k, which admittedly makes more sense, you slightly change the meaning of the word to a kind of old and formal shortening of the word 'också' ('also'), which ofcourse also is often pronounced just with an 'å' in actual speech, just to make it confusing. Så it's really just to separate two very similar words that sound the same both in formal speech: 'åkk' and informally: 'å'. Technically "också" tends to be a long vowel and "och" a short one in informal speech, but that's just to make some informal spelling difficult aswell.
"This piece was written in 4 flats because Rachmaninoff had to move 4 times while he wrote it." A lovely bit of comedy by Victor Borge that your questions reminded me of.
I kind of don't get this one. I don't listen to a lot of prog, but I used to really like polyphia. Im not super sure how they relate to limp bizkit, cus I never really listened to them.
@@thebillyd00 Basically, Polyphia is the most accessible and easy to listen to version of prog. Just like Limp Bizkit was to metal. Theres nothing inherently wrong with listening to them, but the people that listen to them and think they're “hardcore” prog, tend to get made fun of.
There are definitely bands that are better in one setting vs another. I saw Gojira live knowing little about them and they were awesome, but I can't be bothered to listen to their stuff in a studio setting. Apocalyptica is one of my favorite bands, but they're pretty whatever live. Rammstein is better live because spectacle, same with Avatar. I think Jinjer is better in studio over live, but the one time I saw them live was kind of ruined by one of their opening acts blowing out my eardrums >.>
The fact that you can play the same lick on each of those basses, and still sound so consistent, clean and uniquely yourself is proof you are an incredible player sir. Very humbling..
1:04 a thing you didn't mention is in a lot of electronic genres like dubstep, house, and trap that are played live through turntables and speakers, the keys normally are around F and E (usually minor because that's how the chords resolve) because the sub bass is best heard around 40-45 hz

@@carlkolthoff5402 Well, it's only pronounced that way in formal speech, it's actually just the vowel 'å' in most speech anyway. When you spell it with a k, which admittedly makes more sense, you slightly change the meaning of the word to a kind of old and formal shortening of the word 'också' ('also'), which ofcourse also is often pronounced just with an 'å' in actual speech, just to make it confusing. Så it's really just to separate two very similar words that sound the same both in formal speech: 'åkk' and informally: 'å'. Technically "också" tends to be a long vowel and "och" a short one in informal speech, but that's just to make some informal spelling difficult aswell.
3:46 i dont suck at instruments, I just play *very* spicy chords
Different people have different tolerance to spiciness. One man's extra spicy jazz is another man's diarrhea-inducing horrible cacophony.
@@KimonFrousios It's like hot wings. Slowly work your way up from mild to spicy and you'll love jazz
"Music is Nothing More then Wiggly Air" needs to go on a shirt.

Yes
Zappa said that.

Yes, but Nintendo will copyright strike it.

The Mario Kart lick segment was secretly a way for Adam to show off his basses
What a legend! This wasn't even a Q&A, we got baited into music theory class haha. Not complaining tho, learnt a lot from this, cheers:)

"Is C7/D acceptable" - I like Frank Zappa's answer to a similar question. "Some people like to hear that".
Aye i like that comment bro
I felt that coffee sip in my bones.
He sipped it at almost the exact same time that I took my first sip of coffee for the morning! It was lovely.
did it give you a funky feeling

People who don't know Adam Neely has synesthesia are going to think "this music theory is way above my head". lol
of course music has color, I can see it in my mind eye. Am7 is yellow, for example. anything near C is green.
@@monad_tcp Nah, Am7 is deep, dark red with a hint of metallic teal. C is just sky blue.
@@vitormelomedeiros #poorinstruction
Gotta love that purple major 7 chord!
@@vitormelomedeiros No, C is yellow. I feel like B is kind of blue, though. And A is red of course.
Is Polyphia the Limp Bizkit of modern prog? "YUUUP"
I kind of don't get this one. I don't listen to a lot of prog, but I used to really like polyphia. Im not super sure how they relate to limp bizkit, cus I never really listened to them.
It's funny but I also don't quite get it
@@thebillyd00 Because they are inexcusably douchey.
@@thebillyd00 Basically, Polyphia is the most accessible and easy to listen to version of prog. Just like Limp Bizkit was to metal. Theres nothing inherently wrong with listening to them, but the people that listen to them and think they're “hardcore” prog, tend to get made fun of.
@@studebakerhoch4167 They also have mad Chad energy
i remember seeing a band at a festival years ago that were absolutely fantastic live. i bought their CD, and it sucked.
There are definitely bands that are better in one setting vs another. I saw Gojira live knowing little about them and they were awesome, but I can't be bothered to listen to their stuff in a studio setting. Apocalyptica is one of my favorite bands, but they're pretty whatever live. Rammstein is better live because spectacle, same with Avatar. I think Jinjer is better in studio over live, but the one time I saw them live was kind of ruined by one of their opening acts blowing out my eardrums >.>
This has been my experience, too, rather than the inverse. The energy and charm isn't on the record like it was live, for example.
@@TheDarkMessiah
>Rammstein is better live because spectacle
>ends up in ER cause a whole keyboard flying off the stage knocked your lights out
@@TheDarkMessiah that was probably the same Jinjer tour i saw, because the opening bands were.. disappointing lol
When you hear "horse with no name" live it's great fun but when you listen to it on spotuly it's really boring
The fact that you can play the same lick on each of those basses, and still sound so consistent, clean and uniquely yourself is proof you are an incredible player sir. Very humbling..
Audiation exercise = my standard habit when I'm too lazy to put my headphones on and listen to actual music.
Also great for improvising over the song. And for skipping the parts of the song you don’t like.
Also, you can switch the vocalist or the instruments.
Doing that since primary school, because you can't have headphones in class.
It was a way to not die of boredom.
if you ever see adam staring off into space, he's just listening to rage against the machine
Yes,they are the machine raging against itself.

Playing the Mario kart licc was cool enough, but Adam looking up at the end every time as if he’s saying “see?” destroyed me
1:04 a thing you didn't mention is in a lot of electronic genres like dubstep, house, and trap that are played live through turntables and speakers, the keys normally are around F and E (usually minor because that's how the chords resolve) because the sub bass is best heard around 40-45 hz
