I've only recently begun to actually listen to Philip Glass, Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, etc. There's a great documentary about minimalism on RUclips called, "Tones Drones and Arpeggios - The Magic of Minimalism." I've been trying to incorporate minimal concepts into heavier music, and I think it works well. The repetition creates an "epic" feel, with the only changes happening are the dynamics in the music, building and falling, etc.
" I've been trying to incorporate minimal concepts into heavier music" -- The Who's Baba O'Riley (named after Terry R) and Won't Get Fooled Again proved it can be done: I'd be interested to see how heavy it can get! Good luck!
@@ShadeCandle Yep - I'm a big fan. There's a grat series of recording on Bandcamp called "A Cheery Wave From Stranded Youngsters" that features a lot of up-and-coming bands in the "Post" genre.
I love the fact that the opening to glassworks is not that difficult to play. When composers write beautiful and interesting pieces that are not technically challenging it's a great gift to beginners.
I saw the Philip Glass Ensemble in 1982 when he was using a lot of electronic keyboards - he had a massive PA, and wow, he rocked the house! It was loud, exciting, and intense - unlike anything I'd ever seen. Then a few years later I saw him and the ensemble performing the music to Koyaanisqatsi live while the movie played behind them - I wore an awesome dark purple velvet cape, and brought some smokable opium with me; I pulled out a pipe and lit it, and the woman next to me (who was dressed awesome as well) was like, "is that opium"? She asked if I'd share it with her - which of course I did. A short time later into the performance she and I were like, "OMG that is so awesome"! And it was - even without the opium it was amazing. With the opium it was a transformative experience... I then went to several lectures and live interviews with Philip Glass, and then saw him live again where I managed to get him to give me one of the mint promo posters from that show, and he signed it for me too!
That was the Glassworks tour. Glassworks came out in '82. I caught them in Texarkana, Texas of all places. Some of the concert goers were totally unprepared for the onslaught, especially from the bass synth parts, as the performance was at the concert hall, these people were expecting Haydn I suppose. It was an awe-inspiring concert.
You got to "A Major, C-sharp minor!" and then the whole world opened up, and you stopped! That was getting so good! I'm going to have to try this for myself in different keys. The modulation is where this gains real traction and has the capacity to unfold into something extraordinary. Thank you for the inspiration!!!
I didn't know that Phillip Glass studied in France with Nadia Boulange, or that he was a master of counterpoint. Maybe that shouldn't change the way I regard his music - but it does. It makes him a lot more interesting knowing that he would have been immersed in the classics.
Comment for the algo: this is a great channel, I keep coming back to rewatch, and am always hoping for new videos. Thank you, Chris at Implied Music. You are a godsend!
That’s about the clearest explanation of this that I’ve seen yet, and has me thinking. I’ve done minimalism and polyrhythms in the past (coming at the latter from an orchestral percussionist point of view) but I can see ways to expand on what I’ve done, past the solo organ pieces.
This is wonderful and useful. I'm a devoted amateur percussionist. My real musical mission is in facilitating drum circles. There is no more powerful musical tool for me than polyrhythm. People hear and understand it intuitively, and it enriches their experience of the simple, joyful drum music, helping them imagine more details to add. A lot of music theory is "above my pay grade" but this is exactly "in my lane". Respect and gratitude, Implied Music!
It's kind of disturbing when I've been tinkering with ideas. And one of your videos pops up, out of the blue, clearly defining and instructing me on it. Thank you for doing these!
i stumbled upon philip glass with the koyaanisqatsi movie, which is also a superb piece of music, but the most iconic work of glass is definitely the opening of glassworks. it sounds complex, but is actually surprisingly simple, once you get your hands to play two different things simultaneously. first you think your head explodes, but suddenly it’s quite easy, just like riding a bike.
Just come across your channel. This is an elegant and succinct video. Thank you. I love that piece of Glass'. Once, about 15 years ago, I played it on CD and my flatmate on the other side of the wall from me, asked me shortly after if that was one of my compositions. I wish!
Hey Chris! Harry LeBlanc here. We were in I group together in the Bay Area, almost 20 years ago. I really dug this video -- I love the Philip Glass polyrhythm thing. Keep on keeping on!
Very interesting. I've been trying to get do some minimalist music on my modular synthesizers using their sequencers. I'm going to have a go at this simple polyrythmn trick.
I'm really glad that you're making these videos. Incidentally, 'Glassworks' isn't "very early" for Glass, nor is it from the mid seventies. The album is from 1982 and the music was composed in 1981. 'Music In Contrary Motion', by way of contrast, is from 1969, and that isn't really a "very early" piece for Glass, either. He began composing seriously in the 1950s and won a BMI Student Composer Award in 1959, and taught music while composing in the 1960s, but later destroyed his earliest, pre-minimalist work, and didn't begin writing in the style that he is known for until 1967.
Thanks. I am dabbling with sequencers and live coding software and this video has been realty inspirational. By starting from your input i realized an algorithmic sequence rhat really works abd has been appreciated by the people that listened to it. Achievement unlocked. You have a new follower.
Not sure it's exactly the same thing but I've been getting some quite interesting rhythms and melodies by sampling the audio of a simple musical phrase or an evolving tone, and then playing the sample back at different pitches (playing notes C, F, G is quite effective). I'm pretty sure it's been done before by people like Terry Riley, but I discovered it myself by experimenting. You get the pitch shift, but the melody also speeds up by approximately 1.25 and 1.3 times with these notes. If you repeat over octaves then you get the melodies for each note at half or double the speed. It's not exact in an equal tempered scale so you also get slight sync variations. I might try it using a pythagorean scale to get the ratios exact.
that's a very cool technique. for a very tight example of this, Steve Reich's "Come Out" is great listening. His early tape work focussed on slight speed changes that threw things gradually out of phase, creating new sonic landscapes and rhythms.
Mostly interested in learning the techniques for my own wiriting skills, so that was really great! As much as I love and admire PG's work, I rarely find myslef actually putting on one of his albums, but I do want to learn from his amazing approach and techniques. Thank you!
I am familiar with many minimalist works, Reich being my favorite, and Glass of course, but when that 'resultant rhythm' part was playing, before you even mentioned it, I all of a sudden pictured an acoustic guitar playing flamenco style, because I knew I've heard that exact kind of strumming before, outside of the world of minimalism, and then you immediately pointed out _exactly_ the rhythm pattern I had heard and pictured being played on a guitar - it's like you read my mind so perfectly it kinda freaked me out for a second. But of course that's exactly the point of the listening exercise, hearing that pattern, so I just wanted to say well done, you've covered some really interesting topics in a very concise and useful way with this and some of your other minimalist videos. Subscribed, and I've only done that for about 5 other channels throughout the many years I've been watching YT vids. Would actually like to see this kind of stuff covered in more detail in the future, if that's possible.
“Glassworks” was released in 1982, the same year as the “Koyaanisqatsi” soundtrack. In fact, some pieces from the soundtrack were used in “Glassworks”.
I'm a guitar player specifically in the Progressive Metal genre. This is a topic I am very interested in. I want my music to be complex sounding but simplistic when played.
I remember trying to teach myself this and just having a heck of a time getting the left and right hands to keep to their own beat. It was only when I just thought about that “clippity-clop” rhythm of the piece as Glass plays that I could get it, sort of. Funny to hear Glassworks described as “early Glass.” I think it’s from the early 80s, when Glass signed with CBS and started to do shorter pieces to appeal to a broader audience than the “Einstein on the Beach” crowd.
not a composer but love philip glass. have been a huge fan of ambient music for a few years now and have noticed this technique quite a bit. thank you for the beautiful and simple explanation so even an electric bassist can understand it. there's an elegance that only simplicity can provide sometimes and i believe this is one of those times. looking forward to exploring your channel! all the best to you!!!
Wow, this is so awesome, started playing about with this idea and was immediately blown away! I have never listened to Philip Glass so now I need to go find his music, thank you !
Very simple, elegant and beautiful. There's nothing complicated about this and it works very well, and yet I probably would not intuitively compose something like this. Thanks for this video, it's very useful!
Love this video! I used to listen to Glass a lot, but you nudged me right back to him. He is still just great. Can't wait to start practicing and fiddling with own compositions. :)
Interesting analysis and a beautiful demonstration. Your explanation has helped me to understand more deeply why I enjoy the music of Philip Glass so much, thankyou.
Can you do a video on Polymeters? I feel polymeters have lot more potential to produce beautiful rhythms and yet they dont get much lime light as polyrhythms. For eg: 5/16 over 4/4 would sound drastically different then say 5/8 or 5/4 over 4/4. I am sure many ppl would love to see these polymeters explored in depth
ruclips.net/video/zXhLFb34nz4/видео.htmlfeature=shared the Andalucian chord prog you play at the end reminds me of Nouvelle Vague's cover of Depeche Mode's - Martin Gore "in a manner of speaking"
An enlightening analysis. Thank you! l will check out the rest of your channel. (I wear a scarf too here in Northern California..50° mornings in July .)
Very nice! I am an EDM producer and i picked up some ideas during this video. I was already doing similar things but i think i can be more methodic now. Thanks!
It was such a joy to watch your video! I've never seen such a descriptive, simple explanation. I'd really like to see more, especially with the analysis of his pieces with more complex chord progressions, arpeggio polyrhythms and confusing harmonies like in his 11th, 15th, and 20th etudes. I enjoy playing his pieces, but to be honest, it always feels like he intentionally puts some off-key notes in his music, I guess there's some academic explanation of the choices he makes.
there's a lot to unpack with Glass, particularly the way he handles dissonance. i'll do more on him. the score to "the hours" is great to study, and is available as a piano reduction.
Your videos are great. Vague / E la nave va by Anour Brahem gives another beautiful example of the technique you describe here. Their album Le voyage de Sahar is such a gem.
Great video, I've used this technique in parts of my songs with out knowing the music theory behind it, was just experimenting. You can really hear it on one of my upcoming new tracks Jan 2024 - Cheers!
Glass is the absolute master. But he doesn't like to be called "minimalist composer", he prefers saying that his music is made from repetitive procedures. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Chris, just found your channel but I’m really enjoying it so far. If you haven’t already heard it I highly recommend the album dysnomia by dawn of midi for some great minimalist/shifting rhythm music. Cheers
This is 2 against 3 polyrhythm. Pianistically kind of just a simplified and slowed down Chopin chop from his Fantaisie impromptue where he actually goes 4 against 3. BachScholar made a slowed (wayyyyy) down version where you can hear this: ruclips.net/video/0vfr4fego3Q/видео.html Normal tempo, just as an idea: ruclips.net/video/Gus4dnQuiGk/видео.html But Glass pasted it in a whole different context, that's true.
I've only recently begun to actually listen to Philip Glass, Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, etc. There's a great documentary about minimalism on RUclips called, "Tones Drones and Arpeggios - The Magic of Minimalism." I've been trying to incorporate minimal concepts into heavier music, and I think it works well. The repetition creates an "epic" feel, with the only changes happening are the dynamics in the music, building and falling, etc.
wow great stuff, thanks for the recommendation
" I've been trying to incorporate minimal concepts into heavier music" -- The Who's Baba O'Riley (named after Terry R) and Won't Get Fooled Again proved it can be done: I'd be interested to see how heavy it can get! Good luck!
You should look into post-rock, if you haven't already. That's basically what it is.
@@ShadeCandle Yep - I'm a big fan. There's a grat series of recording on Bandcamp called "A Cheery Wave From Stranded Youngsters" that features a lot of up-and-coming bands in the "Post" genre.
thank you for the documentary pointer.....I will be watching later!
I love the fact that the opening to glassworks is not that difficult to play. When composers write beautiful and interesting pieces that are not technically challenging it's a great gift to beginners.
Beauty is essentially the revealing of simplicity. And here you have it.
It is so lovely to be in your company. Also, you explain things so very well.

To me, that always sounds like insisting that he doesn't drive a car and wanting us to call it a four-wheeled self-propelled vehicle.
Cool video
Ah I missed this challenge of yours but incidentally came up with a fun arrangement of silent night last year
Hope to join the next one!
Please do!
Hey Chris, just found your channel but I’m really enjoying it so far. If you haven’t already heard it I highly recommend the album dysnomia by dawn of midi for some great minimalist/shifting rhythm music. Cheers

This is 2 against 3 polyrhythm. Pianistically kind of just a simplified and slowed down Chopin chop from his Fantaisie impromptue where he actually goes 4 against 3. BachScholar made a slowed (wayyyyy) down version where you can hear this: ruclips.net/video/0vfr4fego3Q/видео.html
Normal tempo, just as an idea: ruclips.net/video/Gus4dnQuiGk/видео.html
But Glass pasted it in a whole different context, that's true.

really like these kind of sounds. does it also relate to tiny geometries by Ray Lynch?
I’ve got to listen to that!
