I saw the bowl and thought: Hey, that's nice. You could probably just put it on top...wait, wait hold on... And that was the day I realized that Vihart thinks music is more important that bowls.
I found it interesting that she chose to attach it to the side, which made working the thing much harder than just attaching it to the bottom, so she didn't have to hold the bowl on its side
@@TheKitbaby I own a similar music box, it works best on large solid objects (walls/the floor work great) the bowl being face down on the table, with the music box on the flat bottom, would work exactly the same as how she set it up, honestly if she just held it flat against the table it would have likely ended up even louder
I think that we can currently play a Klein bottle. If we match Length, Width, and Depth to things like pitch, loudness and timbre, we can 'print' a Klein bottle in the musicscape. By setting the lowest volume, the lowest pitch, and the lowest quality of sound to the Origin of the musicscape, we can print a Klein bottle and listen to how it's shape influences the music we hear.
You know, it's been a few years since I first watched this video. When watching it that first time I was mesmerized by the melody at the end. So when I came across this video today once again, I was pretty much filled with nostalgia about all of these videos and how much I love them. Vi, these videos are the best kind of wonderful.
+Emeraldstar Those melodies are used as light-motif in her Harry Potter Septet. It's on her website. You should try listening to it. I'm not entirely sure what all 4 are, but one is certainly Harry's Parents or Family. I've a feeling they're all related to him directly - maybe Sirius is one.
sometimes I come to this video and re listen to it too… it’s just the music is so… I don’t even know, makes me want to cry happy tears, I feel at peace.
catguru10 I'm pretty sure it's in the 3rd one (EDIT: Prisoner of Askaban) since that's where Sirius shows up. It might be near the end of the 1st (when his parents show up in the Mirror).
Drednaught your photo made me remember of that comic ended like 5000 years ago and will never see the light of day again. thanks i am gonoing to cry for the rest of my death now.
ah, I watched this video so long ago, and brushed it off before continuing to the next. Then a while later, I go to a shop after a parade to pass time and see one of these music boxes, but sadly I did not have money with me to actually buy it, but here I am about 2 months later wanting to just drive my car at 11:06 PM to that shop just to pick one of those music boxes up! You, Vihart, have the power to allow me to see the earth in a new way as I have not seen before in a matter of minutes.
This was super creative. As a musician, I appreciate the fact that you took time to explain how music notation works and that notes on a page isn't actually music. Where'd the music box come from? I would have so much fun with one of those.
Language is an art. If it wasn't, people wouldn't commit cultural appropriation and imitate Mario's Italian or overexaggerate their french words or make useless sound to english that would be necessary in other language or call their fathers potatoes because dad and potato are similar in Spanish or make new languages or make language at all or use other language to make things in your language that you do not have or add stresses and accentuation or make slang or write books or communicate how ViHart doing a literary analysis class would be so wrong or me explaining why it would be so right.
Fascinating, I love this demonstration. So clever! Since you're a very thorough commentator, it's worth noting that the "y-axis" of your strips is an irregular representation of pitch space since your music box is diatonic. Even leaving aside logarithmic transformations (which you allude to), the irregular distances between pitches are hidden from view on the paper strips, but are transferred to the tongue lengths of the music box.
I need to be honest. Every time I view this video, I cry. At the end. That song. especially when it goes into the second form where it's played upside down. It's really beautiful, and that it's generated from just the knowledge of music and knowledge of glide reflections is even more beautiful. Thank you for bringing this idea into the world.
Thank you so much for your videos! You really are amazingly intelligent, and not only in math and music, but also in communicating these wonderful ideas and your genuine enthusiasm in a understandable and exciting way! I am so grateful for everything you do.
***** Zero changes all the time. If you add to nothing, it becomes something. If you take away from it, it becomes something, but in a different direction. A motionless object has a velocity of 0, but it only takes a small push to change that. Also, Calculus. Numbers get divided by zero all the time.
sargeantsimon1 *Ahem* May I just say that while there are situations in calculus where we appear to be able to, or pretend we are able to divide by zero, we can't. That is what creates a large amount of the work required to evaluate many limits.
I love all the stuff you do about music cause it makes me think of what I love in a completely new way :3 It brings me closer to reaching my final band geek form
This reminds me of Mozart's table music, a piece of music that could be read right side up or upside down, and would create perfect harmony when played together on either side
Your videos are very original ways of describing sometimes complex ideas. You're in my top 10 video makers and I shall look out for many more. It would be nice to see you, a face conveys so much.
was nerding out on the fact it took so many turns to go through that sheet. all i could think about was adjusting the gear ratio on the crank to make it easier lol
I can't believe music uses math. I play the flute, so I'll keep this in mind when I play. And everyone knows notes of music is not music, it is just a part that makes music happens
I like your representation of space-time. Music fits the bill well and I did enjoy listening to you manipulate it. I'll probably find this video when I'm 30 and realize I commented here in 2022 and then realize this video is from 2013 and is still interesting.
What's always impressed me is when a song played backwards and upside down is also a coherent musical piece instead of a jumble of sounds that don't quite make sense. I tried it with Davy Jones' Locket theme (a simple enough piece) and it works beautifully! This is on the 2.5 octave music box.: ruclips.net/video/9m0BSleGjFQ/видео.html
Yeah that means "this is not a pipe" but that's a reference to a french painter, Magritte. It's the title of one of this most famous painting (which I invite you to look at) and it's... well, a pipe. A realistic pipe. Why did he called his painting that way, so ? Because that's not one. A pipe is a wooden object meant to smoke with, a 3d object while the painting is the representation of a pipe... not one, then. Our brain recognize the object, made an assossiation and identified it as such immediatly but Magritte reminds us it's not one. I hope the explaination made the comment above clearer, sorry for my english, but I doubt anyone will read that anyway so...
Vihart, This is the first video of yours that I have ever seen, but I just wanted you to know that I subbed, and liked, and showed everyone I know because this is really cool, and creative, and charming. Great Job!
The Mobius Melody was fantastic. It would be cool to come up with a sequencer program that emulates these different folds. Probably not too terribly difficult either.
LISTEN, if someone were to create a piece of software that let you mess around with this sort of thing in a DAW, that someone might make much money quickly! They'd also be my hero, if you do, please tell me!!!
