    Someone actually put it into words, conceptualizad it, and I’m speechless...because that’s exactly what it feels like when you start getting it, realizing the immensity that you are

      Best ways to show someone the truth, Fibonacci sequence and Mandelbrot set. Those two will either wake people up or expose those who refuse to learn. Named after God for a reason..

    Honestly, one of the best most interesting, multi-talented+interdisciplinary talk I’ve ever heard trying to explain the inexplicable in more than words, sound, video editing, writing. I spotted so many untold jokes that I wasn’t sure if I was the only one spotting them.
    For one person to have created this lesson would boggle most minds, but I for one am grateful to have watched, listened, truly understood, and learned that I can try to explain things like this in my own life.

      No disagreement here, it'd be cool, but tbh, just having teachers be this passionate would inspire students to listen.

    My take from this was that math is infinite and music is infinite, and that infinity is beautiful. I was expecting a talk about direct correlation between mathematics and music but instead it was just a redundant talk about those two things so I actually ended up pretty disappointed with this talk. Maybe going in with no expectations I could see how people love this

    The way to think of music and math is easy: math is not involved with the creation of music (unless a composer specifically invokes the relationship when writing a piece by say, purposefully doubling the interval between each note in a X note long melody: half-step, whole-step, Major 3rd, diminished 6th, etc) however, music is especially suspectable to being deconstructed mathematically.
    In other words, Bach didn't use any math when writing his fugues however, his fugues are easily described with numbers.
    But, to a certain degree, this is illusionary: music is a language and any language can be broken down numerically, just like we break down music... it's just much easier with music. Subsequently, that's where most people focus on their being a relationship - they're related because they're easy to relate.
    Relating say, German to math is doable, but very few people would be able to do it.
    This occurs because of what music is:
    "The purposeful creation, and corralling, of tone in meter. The only one of these criteria that's actually required to communicate using the language of music is the last: meter."
    Without a beat, steady or otherwise identifiable (and not using a contrivance such as holding an instrument) we cannot recognize the language of music is being used.
    The essence of music then, is a beat. So the essence of music can be expressed as "counting" and if you're language is based on counting, it's going to end up relating to math in a huge number of easy-to-see ways.
    The previously mentioned language of German, is not root in counting therefore, while relatable to math, it's relationship is substantially more complicated and thus, less easy to see.

    He didn't say one single thing about tunings. I would argue that nowhere else is music and maths linked more than in the field of tuning and intonation.

    • @francescoscanu6957
      @francescoscanu6957 2 года назад

      Nobody cares about sound or tuning correlation with physics and so mathematics, it's pointless and no worth studying.
      He's talking about how both with one and with the other you can reach and discover the same things and the same feelings.
      Things you don't achieve rationally and that probably no one will ever understand but everyone should search

    I was never afraid of math. It isn’t like defending a point of view that requires thinking of every possible refutation, in order to “win,” an argument. There is only one right answer. I wish it hadn’t been presented, to us girls anyway, as something to be afraid of, or I would have majored in mathematics.

    The problem which I have been dealing with since the 1970s comes from the fact that the modern theories of math and music has corrupted their original intents. I have developed an alternate cohesive theory of music theory, tuning theory, number theory, and geometry that I called eidetic mathematics.

    Aum! That is infinite, and this (universe) is infinite.
    The infinite proceeds from the infinite.
    (Then) taking the infinitude of the infinite (universe),
    It remains as the infinite alone.
    Aum! Peace! Peace! Peace!

    Don't wanna spoil anybody's fun, but I think people who are mind blown simply are not used to thinking of art so much. I was looking for notions behind the hazy hype he created (with wonderful eloquence, for sure), and realized he basically only name-dropped some connections between the cognitive experiences, notions I can believe to be observable but which I find ultimately unhelpful. This mystifies art in a way I find unnecessary, and it's a shame, because it's clear the presenter did his best to DEmystify these concepts, but a 20 minutes talk is simply not enough, and risks leaving people without prior knowledge on the topic even more confused than when they entered, without having really learned anything.
