      Filter - electronic circuit that allows sound shaping by only allowing certain frequencies to pass through. All EQs are filters.
      Low pass filter - a type of filter, very common in synthesisers, that only allows the low frequencies to pass through, cutting off the higher frequencies
      Resonance - applying a boost in the signal at the frequency above which the frequencies cannot pass, known as the 'cut off frequency’, leading to the creation of new and interesting harmonics in the sound.
      Resonant filter - a type of filter that allows individual control of both the cut off frequency and the resonance, allowing you to move the cut off frequency around change the amount of resonance you add to the sound.
      Filter sweep - the manual or automated movement of the cut off frequency from low to high or high to low. Think the sound of a wah wah pedal.

    Beardyman is a creative (and musical) genius. It is amazing to see him work here on RUclips, and I can't imagine the amount of awe I would feel from seeing him do his magic in person. From your reaction, I'm sure that you understand what I mean. Just wonderful!

    I'm so glad I stumbled across this video......to be reminded that Beardyman exists.
    Back in 2015 or so I was OBSESSED with his music. His improvisational talents are insane. He's immensely talented and creative. I need to get back into his stuff.....

    Two things strike me about this video. Firstly, It's made me appreciate the immense amount of effort and time that goes into crafting a piece like this, and I am humbled by it. Secondly, I was always confused on Star Trek how their data pads and computer interfaces supposedly had buttons indicating fragments of algorithms that would then be programmed together in real time to get the effects that the characters wanted. That never made sense to me, but really, that's essentially what is happening here right now.

    Holy sheeeiiit that was one of the most enjoyable videos I've seen for a while. I loved watching the creativity flow...from both of you! And the tune just created itself, which is how the best creativity tends to happen. I've written and created some great tunes in acoustic guitar and when the lyrics just appear and come out of my mouth alongnwith totally unplanned groups of chords and riffs on the guitar it just seems to all come together so well it can feel like someone else has taken over! Well done on this one, bravo!
