I came to hear this because it was suggested that this piece as well as Beethovens 5th was shown to destroy 20% of cancer cells at a University in Rio. Its thought that frequency and rythm may play a role in its impact.
Ligeti used micropolyphony to compose a lot of his works. He would create these dense webs of chromatic notes that would move at different speeds/spacings. He would impose certain "rules" like use only minor seconds for a length of time before moving to a whole step. This allowed his work to unfold in a more organic manner and pretty much write itself.
My father played viola for 50 years with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (same last name as mine, look him up) and played 15 years with Bramwell Tovey as principal viola) 20th century music was his thing... Ligeti ... Without Schoenberg, without Webern, we'd have no Ligeti... That is my belief. Ligeti let his imagination run wild after (maybe or maybe not) doing some simple mathematics and creating his own twelve tone matrix and coming up with this... I mean, I'm floored... This is exceptional and THIS IS music. But what the hell do I know? LOL... Love you all my dear RUclips friends of Ligeti. (Step up the bless and give the guy who posted this a like!)
Well, guess what?! Barbara O'Neill recently made a bold statement. She claims studies have shown that listening to Ligeti's Atmospheres & Beethoven's 5th Symphony destroyed 20% of cancer cells within a few days. The actual mechanism involved has not yet been identified, though these cancer-killing effects seem to be linked to the particular rhythms & frequencies within those 2 pieces of music. Mozart's music has not generated this benefit. But Classical music in general reduces stress, improves both focus and sleep quality.
@@AlxzAlec I'd rather listen to that than some contrived crap like Limp Bizkit. I honestly searched for Ligeti on RUclips, it has creepy tension to it, almost "Atmospheric"
@@jakovasaur bro WHO even is limp bizkit???? not that i care, i am just trying to say that i don't understand the mindset of people that believe that this "györgy ligeti" "music" sounds good....
Just shows how much I understand Ligeti-I just assumed the sound of the ad was some sort of strange divergence in the work that I just needed to learn to come to grips with!🤪🤟😩
"Ads" are what allows us to hear and watch such wonderful videos and music. Ads generate $$ which keep RUclips running and presenting us musical wonders of all types.
This is more brutal than any metal or banging dark electronic music I've ever heard. What we hear is the literal deconstruction of everything they were teaching for us at elementary school about classical music. Insane!
Music from the Classical period is highly structured. I learned that in my Classical Masters survey course. But we are long past the era of Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart.
I always imagine the swells in the music as chambers in a huge cave system through which I am going on a boat. Some have bats, winds, bridges, canals, pits, etc. I greatly recommend imagining something like that to enhance the experience
Crystals glow and light dances on the walls of the cave, the light illuminates pterosaurs, some bigger then gulls, flying overhead. Huge mushrooms decorate the rocky shelf hanging over our heads as we wind downstream through the cave... I like that yes.
This is one of those pieces one can’t recommend to their non-musical friends. What initially may sound like random noise is in fact a brilliant - still - revolutionary piece of music with all the structural integrity of a Beethoven symphony. Absolute masterpiece.
@Luciano Giordana You are fu...ing right! In the 50s, who else can imagine the sound of the Atmospheres? You never here that this time! And he did it! Amazing!!! 20 years later this sounds are in a BIG movie! Incredible!!! :)
@@kyranstoecklin726 of course he doesn't mean that just because you don't enjoy this you're non musical rather I think hes saying that if you don't care at all for musical nuances etc you will find no pleasure in this piece. Ergo not everyone musical has to enjoy, practically no one non musical will enjoy. Hope this makes sense.
Kyran Stoecklin - Sorry, I think you missed my point. There are people who just don’t take an active interest in music, at least not enough to enjoy classical music let alone some of the more avant garde works of the 20th century. If you play a piece like this for them they’re probably not going to like it or even see it as music. That’s not a condescending comment on them. It takes a lot on patience and focused interest to really appreciate a piece like this. Not for everybody...and that’s okay.
I think this is really very difficult to play for an orchestra - it demands a very different technique and still they have to manage to sing together. I just found out about this and 2001: A space odysee - I was convinced that the music in the movie is made in a studio with special sound effects and a keyboard or something - never imagined THIS is actually played by an orchestra like Mozart or Mahler, wow! And Liget is a tiny bit Romanian (at least born and raised) so I'm proud of this.
I was just thinking that it must be difficult to play a note which is just slightly off from the person sitting next to you, going against all instincts.
Felt like this gave me cancer. Not to be a hater but I don't get any enjoyment from this. It's not like Beethoven's 5th symphony. This is heavy discordant. Modern classical music just aims to be as obnoxious and bizarre as possible.
Un mondo che non c'è, che se c'è non si vuole conoscere xchè fa paura, orrifica, mette a disagio, cancella tutte le certezze, spiazza, toglie tutti i punti di riferimento, ti uccide con la dissonanza reale-fantastico.
For crying out loud! The flutist's unimpressed eyebrows at 7:16, lol. How must it feel to need to cough in the middle of this performance... The tension in the music now the anxiety of every listener's glare!
Imagine that poor guy that really needed to cough, probably all those around him cast him some killer looks - gasp! 🙈 I guess it happened at some point in life to all of us.
0:13 i had to grin because of the contrast of Rattles harmonic facial expression and the actual strange harmony of this oddly beautiful and highly complex piece
7:30 The Flutes and Strings "Alarm" sound is something I aways thought was made by computer synth in 2001 a space odyssey. But it's actually with instruments live.
It's just notes close together or out phase. A 2nd and root or a 9th and root has a lot of tension...and it resolves nicely depending on the next movement or add to the tension with chromatic changes or half step increases. It's all about intervals
Not a matter of imagination. Just like Bach or Mozart, or Melville, or Edgar Poe... He simply hears things and writes them down. This is the real world.
I started to open myself a lot to such kind of music and I belive there is some place where it actually has value. As you can propably hear it sounds objectively terrible and horrifying, it speaks against everything in your soul, it is objectively ugly. This can make it valuable to portray the Horrifying and objectively terrible, for example in horror movies I could very well imagine such kind of Music. Also if you are a masochist you might find pleasure in listening to such Music.
Oh my god, the brushes on the piano strings at 7:39? I'm not very well-versed in music, so this might be something that's done quite often for all I know, but this is the first time I've seen it. Interesting!
It's only in modern music of course but it's used pretty often along with a bunch of crazy techniques for the right (surreal) sound the composer wants :)
totalmente de otro planeta. la masa sonora que se arma es hermosa. me encantaria que hubiera mas reverb... algo asi como tocarlo en una gran catedral con 6 o 7 segundos de reverb
This is amazing to see performed. The brushes on the piano strings is very interesting. I love the combined dissonance that is created in this piece. Its like meshuggah before they existed.
Came here, having found out this was used as the incidental music on the BBC adaptation of M R James' Warning to the Curious in 1972. To great effect I may add.
im writing a concert review about this piece for my music appreciation class... I just finished up one with Penderecki lol, my professor is going to think im nuts
Serious question... what kind of musical notation is used to describe the use of shoe shine brushes on the strings of a piano? How do you notate such a thing?

I want "Artikulation" played by an orchestra ;)
I’ve never seen anyone brush something with such seriousness
Amazing- my dog’s breathing changed drastically listening to this! Healing tones, for certain.

He would impose certain "rules" like use only minor seconds for a length of time before moving to a whole step. This allowed his work to unfold in a more organic manner and pretty much write itself.
That’s a great description of his orchestral music. Thank you.

amazing!!
so like a mathematical game, like the game of life, but in music? brilliant
Thank you so much for that explanation. I had read about his use of micropolyphony. I have a better understanding of it now.

instructions unclear; imagined a cave inside a boat
I recommend listening to this while high or tripping. It’s a very intense experience
Around 5:30 I’m imagining the weird bat-like aliens in Pitch Black suddenly swarming out of a cave. Horror movie dissonance

Wtf
I believe it. It kind of made me question my own reason for living.
@dweiler12 Why do you believe it? I would like to understand because it seems completely false to me
This is on another level
Wow, this is stunning! Ligeti descovering the space of musical possibilities here.

I'm fascinated with this music.
I am impressed by the span of music Simon Rattle conducts
I love Ligeti. I found out about him during my college days. And this is just simply amazing and haunting. Thank you for sharing...
Incroyable ! Brillant d'originalité !
Oui.
Where has this kind of music been my entire life!?!?!
the coughing in the most delicate part is driving me nuts!!
Where's Bugs Bunny when you need him, right?

I only came here because research says this piece has destroyed cancer cells, isn't that neat? I love hearing stuff like that.
I often find myself whistling this piece at odd moments
LA major interpretación de esta obra que he oído en mi vida
Can we talk about the sheet music for the guy with the piano brushes? I'd love to take a closer look at that lol
It's quite simple, actually: it's a long tied "note" with the instruction that the strings be played with brushes.
Oh, I thought that was the janitorial crew starting early...
Never knew that I could play the piano - I thought I was dusting 😂
An absolutely genius! Visionary!
Ligeti is a genius, he has always been one of my favourite composer
Yeah me too.
Me three!🤟😖😜
i wrote quintet inspired by ligeti, i will post the second movement soon
i came here because of the article on hashem al-ghaili
Magnificient. Even decades later. NB: I am still waiting for an orchestra to play "Artikulation" ;)
Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing this 👍👍👍
Una música macabra ,assustadora ,talvez por isto faz curas internas.Sons muitooo interessantes e peculiares 😳
Be sure to listen to his piano etude, “The Devil’s Staircase”!
Amazing work

How the hell do you even write music like this? Maestro Legeti has quite an imagination.
David Jones This was written based on Ligeti’s unfinished “Pièce électronique Nr. 3”, from 1957.
It's just notes close together or out phase. A 2nd and root or a 9th and root has a lot of tension...and it resolves nicely depending on the next movement or add to the tension with chromatic changes or half step increases.

Not a matter of imagination. Just like Bach or Mozart, or Melville, or Edgar Poe... He simply hears things and writes them down. This is the real world.
