    Good analogy. I've always thought music is the ability to force the listener to feel the emotion that the songwriter was feeling. Music is the ultimate communicator. It's why when you write a great song you feel drained.

      ‘Force the listener’, that’s an interesting choice of verb. I don’t think I would like any musician, songwriter or composer coercing me into feeling their emotions. I think most of the emotions that a piece of music communicates are those brought in by the listener. If music was such a great “communicator” we would all feel the same emotions when listening to the same music but we don’t. I don’t think Beethoven wanted me to experience irritation and annoyance when he wrote Für Elise for example.

    Wonderful video!
    I will often mentally map bass notes to long distances on the canvas, and high frequency sounds to short ones. Long distances are less flexible and need more accommodation. In constructing the artwork, you probably want to make long distance decisions early on.
    Although this map is probably more useful when thinking about timbre, sound design, and mixing, more than harmonic and melodic progression. Also a very low dimensional map bringing to fore mostly concepts relevant for the artist looking to analyze the construction of the art.

      Thanks! I hope the video finds the right audience, and if that ends up being a million people, all the better. The piano is called the Yamaha Reface CP (the CP stands for Combo Piano). It costs around $250 and it's well worth the money. If you can get used to the small keyboard, it plays and sounds like an authentic vintage electric piano. For real, it's got some bite if you dial in a few effects. Has a great reverb, and drive. In the video, it's just on the cleanest setting, but trust me it's got a killer sound. I know a guy who uses it as a stage instrument with no issues. And it's small enough to take to the beach, which I do! I bought it because a RUclipsr named Nahre Sol used it in her early blog videos and I thought it looked fun.

  • @musikSkool
    @musikSkool 3 месяца назад

    You are explaining music theory without using the terminology. But that is the core theory, some sounds just sound better together, and some sounds just sound bad when played at the same time. We can calculate this with math, but that isn't needed. Musicians just have a cheat sheet, (until they memorize it) of which chords are good and which aren't nearly as useful.
    Tolkien said that the Universe of The Lord of the Rings was made with music. I would imagine that some notes sound terribly out of place and ruin the sound of that music. Here we have Saruman, Smaug, and monsters in general. In the real world you could compare Demons and the Devil to sour notes. They are playing off-key and it isn't adding anything of value to the accompaniment.

Lol yeah I thought about mentioning synesthesia in the script during that section, as they are an interesting exception in the case of colour - though of course, their sound/colour connections are unique and subjective also. I remember when I learned music as a kid I dimly associated the colour blue with "C", maybe because both felt "basic" or "elementary" in some sense. But unlike many synesthetes, I don't have perfect pitch, so I think that connection was more conceptual than synesthetic in my case. Fascinating subject.

      ​@@theartofstorytelling1 That could be categroized as 'Ideasthesia', a phenomenon where a perception activates a concept which activates another perception, as opposed to synesthesia which is directly perception to perception.
      To clarify Synesthesia can connect ANY sense to ANY or multiple senses at once. Not only sound to sight(colors) even though that's the most common one. One that was commonly categorized as synesthesia, but later re-categorized as Ideasthesia is the connection between graphemes with color.
