Also, some serve to create percussive sounds, or sounds perceived as inharmonicities. Some serve as high harmonics for the more audible "middle" notes. Presentation's a big part of the thing. But an accretion of very, very quiet dissonant tones or octave equivalents or all the other extra shit creates a pretty sophisticated tone color.
I was thinking the same thing. Not only can most of the notes not be heard but if you look at the key board there should be shitloads of dissonance and clusters yet it's pretty much all tonal. You'ed be able to hear it even if it was quiet...so what gives?
is it only me or do those BLACK MIDI-songs don´t sound like they have that much notes? if i would just guess, most of the times i would think there are only a fraction of the notes you can see in the videos.
They put alot of silent notes in there, but also sometimes multiple notes need to be used for a chord (and also this is a single instrument used to play a song that is normally played by multiple instruments so there are multiple chords too.)
I think people put in a ton of silent/quiet notes just to up their note count, honestly. Why put them in if they won't be heard? The answer to that is aesthetics.
Peyton Harrington I look at pianos differently now...: Me: Hello, piano. Piano: Hello, human... LETS SEE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF... Me: Challenge accepted.
You cover your hard drive with titanium and do the process in a desert also bring two PCs. Once you have done that your computer explodes the radius and power of the explosion depends on your PC and the MIDI. After that use your last remaining energy to pick yourself up get the hard drive and put it in the other PC and upload it to RUclips (with loads of ads lol) and be remembered as one of the people who made black MIDIS.
I think you get a MIDI editor and create it on the computer or connect a MIDI piano keyboard and just play a bunch of different songs or melodies, and layer them on top of each other. I think Synthesia costs money though but that is what the author used for this song. If you ever have used finale notepad and made up your own songs you should be able to do this, most songs have an introduction, a melody, a baseline and a chorus that repeats, plus some sort of ending (called an Outro or Coda)
Rockstuff2004 you stack multiple midi files together for example; this file is for the bass/drum chords this file is for melody/main tune then you do that and supposedly sacrifice a small animal to a long since dead Pegan God a voilã
Midis are made by continually cutting and putting notes on top of notes until you get a simple black streak. Then there is no possible way to finish playing the song because the notes are blacked out, so that only computers are able to complete the whole song, but even then, a cpu has to play it.
Played by: Mozart Beethoven Bach Haydn Schubert Rachmaninov (not Dragunov) Handel Pachelbel Liszt Bartok Hee-Ah Lee Brahms Vivaldi Yiruma Chuck Norris and all old masters who lived from the 17th until 20th century.
I do note that I ever commented this kind of comment on Snake8Bit's reupload of TheErhgerg's "Necrofantasia II" in the past. But the comment's now gone btw. (Please also note that I would recomment all my old comments on RUclips.)
In order for one to achieve such a song, it must come directly from the soul, your mind must leave Earth and ascend to an astral plane, where it will gain understanding of the true nature of this music
ĐELPHI just pause at any random moment and look what notes are being shown. Then go to a piano and press all those keys. Then you can come back and tell me it's just a nice major chor
This music. I really loved this music ever since months and months ago! I used this music for my game shows which I used to host in Roblox. I miss hosting Battle for all the battles.
Hashim Hassan I do. And incase others dont know, A fractal is a closed object with an infinit perimiter. Where ever you zoom in on the perimiter it repeats it self... for ever... Sorry for any typos im typing this on a very small phone.
Even if the visuals are fucking crazy, the actual music is really great!
Cinderella Costallas it sounds like final boss music
Cinderella Costallas yeah it's wicked trippy but it's awesome to listen to
Yep
Yeah it's as great as Pi synthesia
That beginning was creative. Nice
Gonna credit you for the 128 keys on synthesia concept
And thanks :*

lmao same !! XD
+Pao Party I did that
yeah don't do that, it will blow the speakers out
same
same rip
Only complaint about black midis I have is that most of it is just notes that can't be heard at all
Henrix98 Because its about presentation as well. The notes you don't hear are blanks made for art. :P
they're not necessarily blank, just very quiet and create the blacking effect.
Also, some serve to create percussive sounds, or sounds perceived as inharmonicities. Some serve as high harmonics for the more audible "middle" notes.
Presentation's a big part of the thing. But an accretion of very, very quiet dissonant tones or octave equivalents or all the other extra shit creates a pretty sophisticated tone color.

Ahh...just saw LOLDAWN's explanation
why arent people saying its great ? Must have taken DAYS.
is it only me or do those BLACK MIDI-songs don´t sound like they have that much notes? if i would just guess, most of the times i would think there are only a fraction of the notes you can see in the videos.

Black MIDI is as much about presentation as it is sound.
There are more notes than your brain can comprehend, you just hear the loudest ones.
This sounds like the coolest final boss music ever
This is actualy morse code, its saying: why the hell are you here?
no and no
No its saying, "Rob not FBI"

These comments are getting old ENTERTAIN ME COMMENTS
Hold my beer and watch this
wtf like 0.0001% of the notes actually make noise
UltraJordanGaming Its because Black Midi is about representation
SEESAND Mabye really quiet?
Yes and it's pissing me the f*ck off. First black MIDI video, and last. These are effing retarded.
UltraJordanGaming ever hear of constructive and destructive interference?
velkoon doesn't take much does it?
Black Midis are really mezmerizing to watch
You added some better video editing techniques finally! :D
i could play that on piano i just don't want to
sure
Prove it and I'll believe you.
Sound like something Homer Simpson could say...
***** I don't care!
THEN DO IT let see if u can
I can play this with no problem
yeah all you have to do is bash your head against the piano simple enough
You have 8 hands?

Fake the piano is an actor
He got payed a lot
***** thanks man
Domipoop2467 but you both look exactly like eachother
At first I thought you were saying A piano named Fake is an actor
"the piano is an actor"
this continues to be my favorite black midi of all time
This is the first black midi video i've watch, and jesus christ. My eyes want to vomit.
The more I stumble on TSMB2 songs, the more interested I am. Like.
perfect
+Sweet Blasphemy Meow
Gingeas
Moo
people say Black MIDI will kill your brain and computer...from what i can see from here...
THE SONG IS FUCKIN GOOD
The syntesia is god
I have asked this before, how do you even make these MIDI's? They sound so cool and have so many parts. Is there a program, or do you just write them?
layer midis on top of eachother until it looks black.
You cover your hard drive with titanium and do the process in a desert also bring two PCs. Once you have done that your computer explodes the radius and power of the explosion depends on your PC and the MIDI.

That fractal is found in every living being. Dude, you just created the song of life... USING MATH!
Everyone's gonna call me a weeb for this, but...
I think this would be a cool anime theme!
Mysteryfoxx RJ that's what I thought like maybe to a sword art online or something
Yeah, SAO came to my head. I don't really like the series, but I love the opening.
Mysteryfoxx RJ °0° your right....
WEEB
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU NOT A WEEB AHHHHHHHH #ýøű
This brings back so much nostalgia...
Played by:
Mozart
Beethoven
Bach
Haydn
Schubert
Rachmaninov (not Dragunov)
Handel
Pachelbel
Liszt
Bartok
Hee-Ah Lee
Brahms
Vivaldi
Yiruma
Chuck Norris
and all old masters who lived from the 17th until 20th century.
Just Chuck Norris, no need more people
this
this is glorious
What about Jackie Chan?
(Lel jk that's enough people I think)
This is probably played by all the great pianist of the world as you ascend to heaven....
I do note that I ever commented this kind of comment on Snake8Bit's reupload of TheErhgerg's "Necrofantasia II" in the past. But the comment's now gone btw.
(Please also note that I would recomment all my old comments on RUclips.)
The melody is just so graceful.
Well, looks like in a 100 years we won't need composers anymore.
This song is amazing! The details and everything is put together just right!
Dont do drugs,kids!

Don’t do kids, drugs
Have you ever realized that math is giving us the best piano songs ever?
Pi, Tau and this. These are maths!
I'm honestly surprised this didn't sound like multiple children banging their heads against the keys of the piano.
my favorite black midi and song in general so far. good job gingeas!
Why does this sound so much like a final battle theme?
Max Klein because it is
WOOOW this sounds like a EPIC BATTLE MUSIC played by piano holy crap good work btw love ur synthesia musics :3
Why does this sound better than most videogame music today?
They said every piano legend of each and every parallel universe was called upon, and they played this across the Omniverse
Funny thing is that it actually sounds really good
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Epic anime opening :D
Wow that was actually really good I was expecting that to sound horrible and be crazy and all over the place but it’s really good
This should be the theme song to a manga
Wow for me TSMB2 is the best at drawing in Black MIDI ^^
Sounds like from a Touhou PC-98 soundtrack :0
kags Finally someone notices! :'D
yey
congratulations on 50K subs! :DDD
why this sound like a Pokémon battle theme
a black midi that sounds cool? amazing!
amazing. how long does something like this take to make?
MadMetalManiac74 varies from a week to multiple weels
Nate1829 how many weels on average
Cabanerie many weels
MadMetalManiac74 your life
*This... This sounds oddly beautiful!
I really need to know the name of the outro song
Why? Nostalgia?
So you know the name? I would really appreciate, if you told me. This really sounds like some old (or maybe not) japanese game :D
SoyEver it's "Desire Drive" from the videogame "Touhou: Ten Desires"
Holy ducks the piano is colourful :o
Take that Mozart
the colours are beautiful, they look like they are dancing :D
Can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use this in an RPG I'm making!? All credit to you of course! :D
Oh wait, nvm. I guess I should ask TSMB2.
Friend: So, why did you buy a gaming pc?
Me:
*To listen to black midis in Synthesia*
what is the name of outtro song?
Keep doing this. You are good at it.
This sounds like final boss music.
In order for one to achieve such a song, it must come directly from the soul, your mind must leave Earth and ascend to an astral plane, where it will gain understanding of the true nature of this music
It's not playing all the sounds for the keys. If you were to hear this on an actual piano it would just sound like trash
Dustin
Maybe those keys are actually just really silent
Russel Young no.
ĐELPHI just pause at any random moment and look what notes are being shown. Then go to a piano and press all those keys. Then you can come back and tell me it's just a nice major chor
Sometimes deeper notes overlay higher notes. So a lot of notes are unnecessary
This actully sounds really good
I wonder what Mozart would have thought being introduced to things like this?!
Limerence He'd have a heart attack. a good heart attack.
Hypnotized me ;-;
wanna know how to play this? lay the piano on the floor
and flop like a fish

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! IT'S very very very amazing !!
Sometimes I don't care about how many notes a song has. I just care about the music!
For those of you who don't know: Fractals are shapes that infinitely repeat while getting smaller and smaller.
how do you even make a black midi
It's crazy!! I love it!!☺
I dare someone to do this in real life.
Because of you my hands are now dead.
Daniel GamingReturned oh nu r u ok!!
Diaben0u0 and more pianos.
not all the notes have sound
This music.
I really loved this music ever since months and months ago!
I used this music for my game shows which I used to host in Roblox.
I miss hosting Battle for all the battles.
good to hear
"Top 10 Anime Battles"
It sounds..... awesome. Keep making these
IM TRIPPIN BALLS
Amazing song man! Love this, probably my favorite black midi song!
I wonder if everybody knows what a fractal is.
Hashim Hassan I do. And incase others dont know, A fractal is a closed object with an infinit perimiter. Where ever you zoom in on the perimiter it repeats it self... for ever... Sorry for any typos im typing this on a very small phone.
Yeah, hence the visual representation of a mandelbrot set in the beginning, an example of a fractal
This is so trippy, it's making my friend dance on the floor
Why is it that, musically, black MIDI always seems to sound like generic J-pop/rock?
That's likely where they get their inspiration from. Anime seems to be a big inspirational point for many people.
This sounds really EPIC this is amazing :D
ITS SO PRETTY
Sounds like a final boss theme for a video game. Nice!
This is actually quite good
Awesomely impressive!
This sounds like intense training montage music. Like at the end I'm supposed to hear someone scream someone's name at the top of a mountain.
>look at my comment from a year ago
> "this sucks"
>how uncultured was i, this is amazing
also the mandelbrot at the start is cheeky and amazing too
I've seen this video about 50ish times in the last two months.... do I have problems for not getting tired of it
MY EYES!!! WAS BURNING!!!
This is an amazing song, honestly. 😊🎶
Whenever you think you're the best pianist in the world
Listens to this music
I give up!!!!!
you deserve more subscribers
Holy shit, this was awesome! Subscribed!
sounds wonderful good job!
Damn this is good
Idk why but this song was really emotional for me.
Listening to it at full volume while playing the last of us multi player is the coolest thing ever, or while playing the last boss in uncharted 2
Sounds sick!
MY GOD CAN NOBODY REALIZE THIS IS A PLAYER, NOT SYNTHESIA GODDAMNIT?!
epic boss battle music I might use for a video game
Your really good at this! Keep it up!
