Its called my neighbor’s car alarm 😅. Blending in along the alarm is something else.
Wow wow wow. Would love to see a tutorial for playing this.

Buahahha best one yet!!! I keep coming back to this commentnsection, I love this
as soon as the keyboard starts the car alarm doesn't even sound like an alarm anymore it's insane how music can turn any random sound into an instrument.
I could hear a choir singing "Aahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh" at one point.😅
much better than car alarm EDM (dont get me wrong, i love EDM :)
it's not a random sound, it's a two tone chord, and probably in 440Hz tuning (or the keyboard is tuned to match).
You might like the a cappella genre. And if you visit the weird side of youtube, check out some covers made by glasses or ruler or rumba.
What do you think what is TECHNO music about...Just industrial noises turned into music...😎
Imagine waking up at 4 to the car alarm and being so mad, and then hearing some random serenade start over the alarm and you transcend

@@paulis7319 I can't believe more people hadn't thought of that. LOL
Man, I think the real let down was the car owner here. What a great idea by you sir. Shane on that neighbor for not having a creative mind!
Truuuuue! That would have been perfect
During a recent hospitalization, I was annoyed by the medical instrument alarms until I realized that they were a great rhythm section for tunes. One played an major 7th chord arpeggio. Another regularly played the same note. I laid in bed, made up tunes in my head to the alarms and was happy again. This video showed how to make an annoying situation fun. The world abounds with similar opportunities.
I often do the same thing with credit card readers when someone leaves in a credit card for too long. It has a certain rhythm, pitch, and musical quality. It'd be fun to see it performed by an orchestra arranged as a symphony.
I worked in a book factory, I just had to load paper in and stack the books once they were out of the machine. A very monotonous job with fine paper particles everywhere, the machines were so loud I didn’t even know what to think anymore. But at some point the rhythm started getting to me, I began to remember all the songs I knew with that tempo and eventually new tunes started to pop up in my head
This type of stuff has been happening to me my whole life. Hearing the best and music in everything. Nice to know I'm not alone. ❤

I worked on a farm as a teen and the hay baler made the exact rhythm of Monster Mash.

Is there really any other way? If you're not having fun doing it, you're not doing it right lmao
Dude this is 1st person view of Bugs in that Looney Tunes classical piece...
I was also thinking Bugs Bunny.. LOL
It's rendered. IDK what software was used, maybe a mix of Concert Creator AI (RIP) and Unity or UE4, but it doesn't look real. Everything is too "clean" and there's several notes not being pressed. You'd have to have 3 hands to play this exactly as it's heard. Listen and watch closely at 2:00. You hear the right hand playing higher notes, the left playing lower notes.... but where are the middle notes coming from?
it is real buddy, it would take more work to "fake" something like this rather then just learning it, also when u listen and look what hes pressing, its 100% accurate. If you really cant believe it and wanna investigate further slow the video down and write down each note pressed. If you don't know what hes pressing then you're not a pianist and so on don't have the right to judge@@frostbite1991
They say you need to be a little mad to create art.
That car must've drove you insane because this is beautiful.

This guy also has a suuuper exagerrated technique. Have a look at some proper top end pieces like Liszts Mazeppa, 99% of pianists wont look half as dramatic.

Says the owner as she watches him reach into a bin full of tennis balls to kick start the alarm again when it stops
When she asked what them fingers do

"Mom! Phineas and Ferb are jamming to the car alarm again!"
That's actually pretty impressive how well it goes together. I'm forced to imagine the neighbors left it honking till the performance finished.
There was a movie I saw once, quite a while back, with a story about an astronaut floating alone through space. A ticking sound he could not identify or end nearly drove him mad... until he made a symphony about it in his mind. This instantly reminded me of that. Identical transformation of something maddening into something transcendantly beautiful, rescuing the mind from the anguish and torment of what is beyond our control. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

@@bazzel1059 why would the car alarm be going off that much
@@Ghostie_boi567 I like your thinking
You know the car alarm was added in editing right-
This car's alarm is one of the best metronome I've ever heard. Somehow it fit the piece so well.
Somehow fits? It fits due to it's harmonics. The car horn is playing the notes Ab and B which are a minor third apart. He is playing piece in a key and using chords that musically compliment the notes of the horn.
@@jazzcattThanks for explaining part of why this song works.
@MM-jf1me You're so welcome. An instrumentalist with a deeper knowledge of musical theory probably could have explained it a bit better. I was a career vocalist until I retired. Then again, those folks often talk above the general listener's heads.
it’s almost like the song was made for that alarm
He intentionally made the song to fit with the alarm
Of course it's a good metronome, it's a perfect pause between each horn, that's all you need for a metronome.
growing up i had a ceiling fan in my bedroom, it was old, terribly unbalanced, and ALWAYS made a damn near ENTIRELY random ticking noise, there were a handful of patterns it'd tick out, but with no set order for when each pattern would happen.
i LOVED that fan, and still miss it 20 years later, because after a while it became an anchor for my brain to run through random sound loops to go along with the patterns, and then join them together in the few seconds of silence before another pattern would emerge, every night was a new song to lul me to sleep.
to this day i cannot sleep properly without the sound of a fan in the room... but never have i found a fan that made me sleep quiet like that one did.
What a fabulous story ❤
I have no idea why RUclips threw this at me this morning but I'm glad it did.
This is far more awesome than it has any right to be.
I love that this must be a frequent enough occurrence for you to have both the time and motivation to make an entire song for a car alarm.
i will be the one to say that there's a high chance that he was already making a song that was keyed around B which is the same pitch as the car alarm, so he could've picked one of his W.I.P. pieces and fit it accordingly. But also I like to believe he made this song for the car alarm.
@@iinkstain hey piano nerd please dumb it down for us normal people
@@StunXPlayz they never anything complicated other than maybe B key idk what youre talking about lol
@@StunXPlayz im a piano nerd but i know nearly nothing about academy music theory, but i laughed so thank u. ill try to relay my understanding because im still figuring it out.
(EDIT: the car alarm is actually a multiple of tones, but this explanation is based on the B sound in the horn, and therefore may be inaccurate)
you can test this out on a piano. the car alarm is the same pitch as a "B" note. so if u play the B note on the piano it should sound the same as the car alarm.
(car alarms aren't designed with perfect tuning in mind so the actual car sound could be in limbo somewhere between 2 semitones) but its *closest to B.*
its important to remember that most songs use a specific note as a foundation to build the song from, which is the *key.*
since the alarm is essentially just a "B", this song uses the B major scale. so B is our foundation note that the melody is based around.
there's a select few note combinations that sound good when played in the presence of a recurring B note, and the recurring B note here is the Car Alarm.
So the person in the video could have just been making a song already using the B major scale and have it fit serendipitously. If your oven timer made a sound that was like a C note over and over again, you could just find a song online that uses the C major scale and do the same thing.
i'm gonna make actual music nerds throw up with my terminology and limited knowledge but;
honestly it's magical if you can recognise a song's key and you're sitting at your comfort instrument. because if the song stays in the same key, you can just play any note in that scale and almost every time it will sound good. combine this with general knowledge of music patterns and you can play in time to a song you've never heard before, making your own riffs as long as you're staying in the same scale.
I can see this as a song at the end of a movie where the character gets in a crash, the music fading in with the car horn fading out, and the events of their life and the movie flashing before their eyes and when the song ends the car horn is replaced by a heart monitor that falls silent
F for the non-existent movie protagonist.
What a perfect description of where this song belongs.
that's an amazing idea

This is the epitome of turning pain into beauty...art.
So true. Art is a way people cope with pain, anyone going through extreme pain can discover their specific artistic talent. I think it's a form of survival inside every human. It's what moves us to tears when we hear or see outstanding art created by someone. It's the deep subconscious understanding of the pain behind the beauty.

As a musician who has worked in studios most of my life and with artists most of my life, studying music most of my life, just seeing this guys hands immediately reminded me of Liberace’s amazing hand style. Many pianists are stiff and their hands move in almost a robotic motion. But this person’s hand style is simply intoxicating. I want to see the rest of him. I bet he could make a killing as a solo pianist or at the very least a musician at a dueling piano bar like the ones i used to frequent in Memphis, Nashville and i even went to one in Orlando Florida. And we can’t even see what is actually happening as his go pro can’t catch every frame of his hands moving and sometimes it just looks like his hands are floating above the keys. GREAT VIDEO! Friggin car alarm! LOVE IT!
Not sure how real vs staged this is, but it's really cool regardless.
Awesome that you take a repetitive, mentally exhausting noise and make it beautiful.
I will never hear a car horn the same way again.
Imagine standing by the car and between beeps hearing piano of in the distance somewhere, and it seems to be synchronized to your horn. You can't quite make out the details, but then you see it: two buildings away on the second story, an actual wizard harnessing the power of your alarm to become more powerful.

Just have to play in a key with the frequency of the horn in it, and at a tempo where the honking stays in beat.
It's an electric piano and since it's being recorded clearly via a direct line it's a safe bet that they're only playing through the headphones and no one outside would be able to hear it.

Reminds me of the intro to "A moment apart" by Odesza which talks about the beat of the song being a loud piece of equipment on a soviet spacecraft, and the music is the Cosmonaut coping with it.

I love how music warps our perception - the car alarm sounds like it's shifting notes whenever you play a new chord!
Music is worth living for ❤️🔥
The car alarm doesn't shift pitch, but the chords do ( as you stated) the relationship of the alarm and chords change which alters how the alarm feels rather than sounds. This is absolutely amazing. So beautifull. I feel like the alarm add such a cool feeling of urgency to the entire piece, definitely gonna copy this in idea into my own work hehe
You should check out this song from Clipping. It’s Daveed Diggs, made famous by the musical Hamilton, rapping to an alarm. You see how the feeling shifts in the chorus when a new chord is introduced.
m.ruclips.net/video/gTPWY8MMGOk/видео.html
The car alarm also isn’t just one note, it’s two being played at the same time. So the pianist is playing around the alarm on a scale that makes the car alarm fit on the 3rd and the 5th

You have successfully described an ostinato.
That’s it! Logically I know the car alarm is a constant but my brain can’t help but hear the car alarm changing tone every bar. ‘Context’ is the perfect word ❤

A lot of aftermarket security systems (even new ones) still cycle through different sounds :)
Super creative. The alarm just blends right into the background and becomes one with the music. Very, very well done.
I love how the alarm doubles as a pitch pipe and a metronome 😂
it doesn’t even look like he’s playing it sometimes because he plays the notes so fast so it looks like he’s just waving his hands around infront of it and music is being produced. i love it
When you're killing it on the keys and your framerate can't keep up 😆
he isnt actually playing it, I dont think that piano is even real, ive seen him with it in bizarre places. but he is certainly playing the right notes, just with the music overlayed
@@cherpsy3770 MU70012BK -this is the piano he uses. It’s a very generic battery powered keyboard
they go fast like speeyider phwoosh 👀
A great musicians, nice tunes, but not live as suggested to be. But ... who cares
As it goes on, the alarm becomes more and more just a component of a masterpiece
I know, right?! After a short time, I stopped hearing the horn.
More creative than I am, I always hear Elton John's "Benny and the Jets" in my mind when car alarms go off.
Kudos!
Imagine hearing the most epic piano theme on a monday morning. I'd go like "Who the hell is gonna save the world today???"
This may be one of the most profound pieces of music I have ever heard. Written all because someone’s car alarm going off was such a frequent occurrence for this man that he wrote it. In some unknown tempo set by a car alarm. This is incredible.
The time signature is 4/4.
I think they meant tempo
@@Malex21 mb your right
Well, you haven’t heard much then
@@ekieli why do you have to rain on their parade? Just let them enjoy the music
I think the really cool thing about this is the juxtaposition.
A car alarm isn't meant to be particularly musical or creative. It's a robotic noise on an infinite, unchanging rhythm, meant to attract attention. There's no passion in it. It's a machine generating a noise. You're able to take that monotone sound and wrap it in the beauty of the human soul. Well done.
it’s like a robot gaining sentience.
It's a perfect metronome.
@Dave Lane Can you just go be salty somewhere else? What they said was beautiful, and I agree with it.

gotta give it up to that alarm for staying perfectly on beat.
Dude, I literally just sat here and listened to this whole piece, It was absolutely mind-blowing You're a freaking magician 🙏🏼❤🙌💯🎵🎶🎼
its insane how pianists can move there hands so manically yet have so much precision
Ikr, also working with both hands completely disconnected in that speed, difficult af.
@@reddo6092That's where I got completely stuck in piano lessons. The first song where I had to play new notes with the left hand while holding a note with my right. I absolutely couldn't do it.
@@psymar Same. I'm new to the piano too, and I can manage to play the left hand part and the right hand part seperately. But both at the same time? No fucking way lol.
No clue why that is so hard when I can write fairly fast with both hands on a normal ass keyboard.
I suppose it might come to natural talent too, some have it easier to learn, some have to put in more effort. I'd say the ones with less talent are actually more impressive as they have to work much harder to be able to play
@@musicman0329I think everyone can learn to play with their hands separated. Look at the gamers, their left hand is completely disconnected from the right game and does completely different things
From the thumbnail I was expecting a funny, in-key play along. I was not disappointed. What I wasn’t expecting was such a moving piece. Well done.
sameee
you should've known that when there's a repetitive noise most people imagine an absolute bop onto it
Imagine the neighbor sitting there and just listening to the song, completly ignoring the fact that it's his own car 😂😂😂
