Locrian to me doesn't capture a dark emotion, more so a sense of depth, heaviness, but not depressive, more so the feeling of seeing the world in all its form, sadness and happiness, probably why it has a chaotic feel, it's the sense of high and low but simultaneously creating a really unique vibe.
I love your description!.. I couldn't quite put into words how it makes me feel but that pretty much sums it up! Maybe that's where the beautifully confusing emotions come from; it's a mode that offers as much as any other, only it's indifferent to our emotions and expectations. In a lot of ways, your description reminds me of nature. It ranges from providing sunsets to hurricanes, life and inevitable death, and also like the mode, doesn't end with a conclusion that caters to humans.
@@kayturs Thanks dude, but honestly the contrast between moonlight sonata in the normal way it's played and in locrian is what really showed it off, normally it's mellow and sad but in locrian it gets this sort of ebb and flow to the why it feels, you really gave this piece a new sound so hats off to you for it.
@@Atom_X. It's so interesting that you both came to this conclusion, pretty much the only song of note written entirely and consistently in Locrian is "Dust to Dust" by John Kirkpatrick which is sung by a gravedigger about the impartiality and neutrality of death. [Final verse] Death come early, death come late It takes us all, there is no reason For every purpose under heaven To each a time, to each a season A time to love and a time to cry A time to laugh and a time to sigh A time to be born and a time to die Dust to dust and ashes to ashes And so my song goes on.
Yeah, it's something else isn't it? Its hard to pin point what the sound of locrian could be called, I like chaotically upbeat though. If you want, there's a playlist of other songs I transposed, listening to a few starts to show the general pattern with locrian I think
Note: for the first half of the piece, theme A is in locrian and theme B is in lydian. During the recapitulation (4:00 and onward) the both themes "resolve" fully into locrian.
This is so invaluable! Such a commonly known work, well performed in the example mode. Very illustrative. Also: it sounds like Debussy on an opium trip. Or perhaps a couple of absinthes too many.
I think the Debussy similarity can be attributed to the fact that Lochrian uses a lot of the same notes that characterize the whole tone scale (major 2nd, tritone, minor 6th, minor 7th), that Debussy used a lot in his work. Just my two cents
That's very true. This is mostly due to the fact that those are the only 2 out of the 7 modes that use the tritone, (flat fifth), which is a very dissonant interval
@@bepispaul2419 yup, and its cool. starting from locrian, if you move the tritone up the scale, the mode gets brighter and brighter. until it reaches the tonic again bringing it back to lydian
It feels like trying to get settled in bed but theres something wrong with the bedclothes ! Like they're made of newspapers with antagonistic comments written on them. Whereas a bed made of Lydian would be too uplifting to possibly go to sleep in
This sounds like music that would be in the background of a movie when the main character runs to work happy because they made a break through. In short it sounds like success
Any mode outside of locrian to me sounds unstable, like it NEEDS to be resolved. Locrian isn’t going to properly resolve, and such it feels like natural real life movement. It’s continuously liminal and when your mind is passive it allows movement to continue. Locrian to me isn’t dissonant, sad, or dissociative, it’s moving when you’re not moving. It’s continuing to exist. It’s your lungs breathing when you’re sleeping. It’s somewhat satisfaction. It’s pondering. It’s the events of the news passing just so the next event can come in focus. Nothing resolves cause it can’t.
This is a really interesting way to see the mode, and I'm gonna keep this perspective in mind. To me it always had a really natural, indifferent sound to it, and this could be a reason why
Locrian is my favorite mode and sounds the happiest to me. I lost my mind when I saw this upload! I love it! I'm going to learn it myself after I learn the normal song soon!
It's a bit strange noticing how the two modes at the opposite ends of the emotional spectrum (Locrian and Lydian) actually have both quite a feeling of extraniation: I think the preminent tritone relationship, evident in both modes again, plays a role in this.
You're absolutely right. Every mode's characteristic feeling comes from the tritone and where it lies in the scale. Lydian Tritone: #iv to i Ionian: iv to vii Mixolydian: iii to #vi Dorian: #ii to vi Aeolian: ii to #v Phrygian: #i to v Locrian: i to #iv Going from brightest to darkest modes, there's a literal descent of the tritone, until eventually it reaches the same placement as lydian. So the underlying texture of the two modes, but every note outside of the tritone is flattened in locrian, so it's a dark version of the feeling lydian gives. That's my theory at least.
@@kayturs your way of writing tritones don’t make sense. For example is no sharp IInd degree in Dorian, but a flat IIIrd degree. The only sharp tritone is Lydian.
Locrian always sounds like the combination of what feeling ever the original record is intended to give us, plus the confused mind set of an amnesic genius. It's like "I know that I need to feel something, but I dunno how to feel it!". A never-ending search for that last note which does never come. Never ever.
this entire song is not in locrian mode. it is scattered with interludes of lydian to give you brief moments of hope. locrian is the darkest and most dissonant mode in music. it is intense and does not resolve stress, which makes it a powerful medium for conveying uncomfortable emotions.
They say locrian is hard to use and it lacks direction. The latter is imo present in this piece but in an extremely good way, it creates a sense of like racing thoughts, unguided chaotic cluster. It's very sophisticated imo. It's like... an insight into a schrödingerian mind, both full of madness and blank. Also neither. Well done 😊👌
It sounds wonderful other than the final notes of the piece. This makes me think locrian could work in a setting where things don't end and just repeat endlessly, like a video game boss music
This does actually remind me of solos from progressive metal pieces. There is something about the movement in this that feels oddly driving. Kinda like lydian, but not at all haha
You rarely see a video where it has no thumbs down. This is so intense, I imagine perhaps only Stanley Jordan could play this on guitar. Many of us can play every portion of this up to par, but both parts at the same time? Lol no way.
Thanks so much! Really interesting. For me it sounds/feels like when sailing; all efforts never actually give you a place to rest, and there is always a next wave to climb/descend, there’s also different degrees of cold and unrest, normally up to dizziness, but that’s the beauty of it. Will try to use this song when sailing and for sure it will be special. Thank you.!!!
Very appropriate imagery! I was canoeing in a rain storm once, with huge waves nearly tipping us over! Your comment reminds me of a moment where the winds were pushing so hard that it cancelled out our efforts and paddling. We weren't paddling to move forward, but to just not tip over! Nature is beautiful yet ruthless. This music (and picture) do remind me of that moment. And I made this video before it happened, so foreshadowing? :P Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you found the music interesting! :)
If anyone's looking for a slightly more contemporary use of the Locrian mode, I would recommend "Army of Me" by the incomparable Björk. It's almost certainly the only Locrian earworm in pop history.
@@oscriadocomandosancto2898 I agree. It doesn't match the scale or innovation of a work like Moonlight Sonata. However, I find that more accessible works make for better introductions. If you were trying to explain the sinister mood of an augmented fourth, would you demand of them the entirety of Holst's The Planets - or go for the "elevator speech" approach and skip straight to electrifying that listener with Black Sabbath's iconic track of the same name, a piece which strips the dramatic potential of a single interval to its core?
Most of the melodies sounded good, but I found the chord at the end of many of the melodic passages to be unsettling. Is that the tritone I am hearing?
I hated music theory in school. But tbh Bombarded (podcast) is getting me interested again. I especially like their bit on locrian, and have been consuming as much in this key as possible. It gorgeous how the “creepy” mode has such a wide variety of emotion that can be made within it.
Yeah its silly that the mode is so quickly dismissed as creepy, before any attempts to properly compose with it. And is Bombarded mostly music theory content? Either way I'm gonna check it out!
Nice job. Sounds like (this part of) the sonata after getting bonked on the head, then realizing you're off canter by a couple of keys when something isn't quite right. Regards.
even though i really love this, i don't think this is representative of the mode - because all the leading intervals are off. seems to me, something originally composed for locrian would sound more confident at the end of phrases. but thanks anyway)
Not an expert by any means although I feel like you must be right. Shouldn't it sound resolved at C# to be in C# locrian? Because I'm not sure it does. I tried droning over with C# but it wanted to resolve at B. I did the same with the original song and C# felt much more at home. Does this mean the song is in B minor instead? I don't know about that either. I saw another comment say that it just doesn't properly resolve, so perhaps that's more accurate than saying it's in B minor. Either way, I just don't buy that this is locrian. My (limited) understanding of locrian is that you have to work particularly hard to make sure that it stays inside of the mode. As much as I enjoy this music, I don't think flattening the 2nd and 5th degrees of the C# minor scale is enough to put it into locrian. It has the same key signature as C# locrian and goes from C# to C# maybe, but that doesn't *always* mean C# is the tonic as far as I understand. It's a little frustrating because it's hard to really check especially as someone who isn't all that clued up on music theory.
I found it more modal in general (in general the lydian mode for the majority by ear) even if it starts by the root diminished chord dim, it sounds more relieving than dark like the locrian mode should be, the root chord is not that affirmative either.
the first two times you hear theme B, it's in the "relative lydian", but eventually "resolves" to the locrian version of theme B the last time you hear it. for the totally locrian version of the song, listen to 4:00 onward
Sounds much more 20th century and modern, but I can't tell why. Maybe just because its an unusual mode? My ignorance of music theory and terminology isn't very helpful here. . .
That's okay! Off the top of my head, it may be because locrian and lydian are very similar modes, even though one is the darkest, the other the lightest. They both are the only modes that have the #4 Locrian is practically never used, so when you hear the #4, you probably associate it with the rare occasion you've heard lydian music, and it's most common use these days are in movie soundtracks!
@LagiNaLangAko23 Major scale: C D E F G A B C = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Locrian mode in C is: C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C = 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 b5 (Gb) is also the sharpened fourth of C in Lydian: C D E F# G A B C = 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 8 Basically, Locrian and Lydian both have Gb, which can seen as either a sharpened fourth, or a flattened fifth. Thus, they sound similar in some contexts.
This is really interesting and unsettling, but nowhere near as minor sounding as I would’ve thought. I can see why mental guitarists burn through runs in locrian to add some interesting and almost absurd color. There’s something about locrian that fascinates me right now since it’s a mode I purposefully avoided since The sound of it confused me. I’m gonna have to dive in
this is what liminal spaces sound like to me sounds like it should be creepy and offputting, but just fills me with a great sense of calm in how my brain can’t process the uneasiness of this piece
Please let me know how you went about doing this did you change all the notes of the piece into the C sharp locrian scale? Did you raise the b natural to a c natural ? I’m so curious please get back to me
