This is really interesting. When I'm writing a melody it often feels like there's only one obvious solution, but you've shown here that everybody has their own unique solution - and that they're all valid! It's like each person's song is a little package of their own consciousness....
I'm loving this diving into music style of video. It's really helping me learn a lot about how music comes together and is making me super stoked about getting back into learning the guitar.
poorlyfound I'm also trying to get back into guitar so I was wondering how you're practicing (gonna practice) did you hire a tutor, youtube vids something else?
I love how full of musical sounder these videos are. The fact that we weird little air wiggling goofballs can find ways to communicate so similarly, and yet so... Diverse in meaning, context and passion. I love the creative soul of the universe, and you sir nurture that soul every day. Never stop!
I really loved all this. I had to be a spectator, since I unfortunately have no musical talent or skill to contribute, but I love seeing everyone able to participate, with you showcasing everything. Reminded me a lot of the "We Go Together" song you made with everyone.
I found so much possibilities in music than architecture as each building design requires justification. Whereas musicain can have the total control over the music. Even the song is bad, at least you can consume the product that you created straight after. Architecture taught me not affraid of creating things and improve on it. Music is probably the same but more freedom on the process of creating.
@@shoutxiao5459 I know I’m just a stranger on the internet , but do what you love ! don’t do what you don’t love just because it’s what you thought you truly wanted to do in the beginning . Follow your passions and you’ll never regret a thing in life .
Jesus, some incredible Talent in this video. A lot of those melodies sounded like sitcom-intros to me for some reason. I really enjoyed this, thanks for making it!
TMC (Topgame Media Crew) I think it's probably that Picardy 3rd coming in. I feel that it's most commonly used at the end of the theme songs for such shows. If you have a look around you could prove me right/wrong :)
Awesome video Andrew :) Have you ever heard about the Schillinger system? It's basically a set of 'rules' for writing music, a lot of which stem from Maths and numeric sequences. I learnt about it at university, as I was taught by one of the leading acedemics on the subject (Jeremy Arden, he's on the Schillinger system Wikipedia). One of the things I've always taken from it specifically was a certain approach to melody writing regarding phrasing which is pretty much perfectly exampled by the girl at 4:00. Your initial melody follows the rules as far as phrase, followed by a variation on the phrase (similar phrase, overall higher pitch), and then she embellished it with an expansion (I might be a little off the mark with wording, it's been a while since I've explained it, I've just been using it without telling people >.>) which is essentially filling up the bars with a whole bunch of notes that often go higher than the original phrase. Finally she came to a cadence which finished off the melody at a satisfying end. Naturally not all music follows this rule (kudos to Melodica girl, that was some intense re-working), but if you're stuck on a melody I find it so useful to use his teachings. I'd highly recommend the book with foreward by Jeremy Arden if you're interested (The Schillinger System of Musical Composition Vol1&2, though Vol1 is a very useful book in its own right).
***** Oh wow haha, funny how people meet through YT comment sections. I was a songwriting&production student. Make the most of Jeremy, he's probs the best composition lecturer there.
As a music producer, I find this video absolutely fascinating...interesting to see what people come up with, and in what patterns. The findings here say a lot about what's being made by musicians of all styles, from pop to eclectic, and as to what people listen to and let influence them.
i cant think of anything me too! I got the chills when I got to that part. Guess we were late to the party, but still part of that group of people. Have you ever heard of synesthesia?
such a cool project I particularly liked the oboe and ukulele pairing. and at the end the girl with the keyboard thing that goes into a dance is amazing haha
my favs 2:54 sax kid 5:08 guy singing w/ guitar 7:25 midi (i think this is how i'd finish the melo too) 10:58 andrew's (sounds like smth out of toy story so cool) 13:22 Cadence Hira (melodica girl)
Fascinating study, and a particularly fab entry from the jazz melodica at the end. I had a busy week, so didn't record a submission, but for the record my first instinct was to continue with the same three-note stepwise sequence rising from the last note of the supplied melody as you said five other people continued with. So call it six! :) It's just occurred to me that that's because it's "Some Day My Prince Will Come" from Disney's Snow White. Dang. It's so tough not to write in borrowed fragments!!!!
6:45 exactly what I started humming right after you asked what was next. I don’t want to sound like I’m including myself in any special group, but I can’t quite shake the feeling this is some kind of synesthesia (perceiving the melody as a story)
sophisacat :3 I looked through the description, he's called Devon Prontack, there isn't that much that I found of him though, only one song and a couple RUclips vids, here's his SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/devonprontack
The oboe one and the girl right before them at around 4:00 were so good, in my opinion! They seemed to fit what the hypothetical "song" was trying to do the best.
B-roooo that was an awesome experiment! I’ve been totally hooked on your channel along with some of the others you’ve collaborated with and I gotta say you help satiate the music nerd in me for sure! Also, props to that ending composition, that was fantastic. Thanks Andrew!
Hey Andrew, this is a really cool video, and I just found your channel because of it! I love the idea of this experiment, but I have one nitpick with your theory on the subject of the picardy third. Your description of it is correct, but what you play isn't really a picardy third. I would say it is more of a modulation or a secondary dominant. A picardy third occurs when you are pretty solidly in a minor key, so you really expect the cadence to be on a minor chord. The song starts with a C major chord, and pretty solidly seems to be in C major. Your final chords are even the classic IV->V->I (F to G to C) progression. For it to be a picardy third, it would be in C MINOR and then when you do F->G it would then go to C MAJOR unexpectedly. Instead, you start in a major key, and then finish with an unexpected A major chord. This is the major 6th chord in C major, not what a picardy third would be: a major tonic when a minor is expected. I would say it is more of a secondary dominant to modulate to D major, or a type of deceptive cadence where you expect it to go to the tonic C chord but it goes to the A (VI) chord instead. You are certainly raising the third of the chord from what is in the key (C->C#) and it does sound cool, but I wouldn't call it a picardy third. Just my two cents!
Tetrachromia I'm searching for comments to find this dude ! Seems like we're the only ones who have actually caught attention to this dude. he's crazy good!
If my eyes are not fooling me, after stalking everyone in the "guests list" I think he's name's Devon Prontack... At least he looks like the guy on the profile photo. Yes, it's a little creepy but the dude really needs an album
For the person playing from 5:08 to 5:44, do you have a video of this song, in it's completion? Also, is this original? (I think it's wonderful, and we need to hear this in its entirety)
I didn't expect to enjoy watching this as much as I am right now. I'm loving this video. Thank you for spreading melodic knowledge and inspiration throughout the RUclips. 👏
The short snatch of melody you played and asked volunteers to continue comes from "Can't get used to losing you" by Andy Williams. However, I am sure you were unaware of that. But what is surprising/shocking is that 147 people didn't think of that musical reference. Probably says a lot about their age, and mine! Check out Williams' song and you'll hear what I mean. Interesting experiment, nevertheless!
it makes me so happy that all these people took inspiration and just did different things with it, experimented and made something cool. everyone made their own style of music and it was just so cool and inspiring
The guy who played the guitar, sang lyrics and made the phrase longer!! I'd so freaking love to hear a whole song from that. I loved the lyrics and the melody he came up with
This is sooo clever! I ve said it in previouz comments on another vid!!! Top marks on your upcoming of 1- the concpt of the experiment 2- the analysis of the results 3- your use of wording and descriptions of those results 4- your synthesis of all those results! 5- it makes so much sense and ... i can only admire 5a- the way your brain works 5b- the way you inspire strangers to come up with ´ART' .... 😘👍👏
Really interesting about the cross over in note writing. I find this could happen a lot when you have many people working with key limitations...maybe there really are a maximum of melodies in the world? Super interesting.
That one dude has a lovely tone on the soprano sax!
hello samurai! nice to see that worlds collide. you have a fantastic channel.
Thanks brotha!
Was just about to say the same - beautifully expressive playing.
I'll jump on this bandwagon as well. Your content is awesome Samurai!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Props to that last guy who just said, "Screw it, metal is life." That was amazing.
It was so great
I shed a tear when I heard it turn around. It was fantastic
I almost clicked to another video thinking it was over and then bam time for metal!
Didn't see it coming at all. Was really expecting Reggae.

WHAT ARE YOU ALL SEEING THAT I'M NOT
When you mentally finish the melody by yourself, it feels wrong to hear other people play the song differently.
Nothing to do with your comment, I just love Kaytranada.

I'm kinda disappointed that 1.) you didn't submit anything and 2.) if you did, that you weren't featured. Oh well, maybe next time, huh?
Didn't expect this dude to be here too. This video needs more ducks.
***** that too
you should do a vid like this
the first guy who added lyrics (who was singing along to a taylor acoustic guitar) sounded so good!! i loved the lyrics, too
Oh hey, yeah, that guy was awesome! Go, that guy!
I also loved ukelele girl who wrote lyrics.
oxymoron0o Yes! I wish I could find their submissions to add to the playlist, they were two of my favorites.
I know! It reminded me of I fight dragons and it made me so nostalgic and I loved it so much!
what's his name???
Why does this video make me cry? Because people making music together is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
ikr!?
The one at 7:59 has to be my favorite. Her voice is just so vibey and calming. Its something you could feel but also just dance around to.
I know it's been three years but that's Sidney Gish, you should totally listen to her music, very dancy
wow that saxophone kid sounded incredible!
Thank you!
Sounded classy as hell, brilliant job!
Yeah, man! As a sax player myself, I recognize a great player, and you are one of them! Keep it up! You'll go far!
You killed it man. Keep writing.
