@@modellking Feels Like A Wheel well more like an orb on an axle spinning backwards, and smoothly twisting so it swaps between different orbiting directions around a point. kind of.
Andrei Cucu I mean yea but to use the same kinda terminology I used in the op, the 2 steps in 22 tet is close to a half step 12tet, and 1 step 22 tet is close to a quarter step in 12 tet. If you think the bII chord feels flat, then it prob resolves down 1 step in 22 tet, so it would be dbII if you wanted to use a similar approximation like from above.
@@EZDMD Yeah, the chord right before the V is a 22edo degree flat of 'ii,' since the V chord uses its harmonic seventh (held as a common tone from the previous chord), but the previous chord is minor.
This here is proof that 12 tone equal temperment isn't the one-and-only universally good sounding scale. I feel like I'm learning colors again. This is amazing
I just wish it didn't sound somewhat *wrong* to me, since I didn't grow up hearing music of any other system. Actually, it kinda reminds me of old game or computer systems' sound chips not quite hitting a note right due to imperfect machining and unreliable voltage, so they accidentally made music like this
just listen to it a lot. Sure, it can undeniably sound "wonky," especially when compared to 12TET, but eventually your ears should get used to different temperaments if you listen to them enough.@@BierBart12
@Philip Parker Yeah, I see that now (To show them that the other ones have purpose, too). One thing that I'd find interesting is to see non 12-TET systems put into other non 12-TET systems as well. But also, to slightly modify some of the melodies to make it more suitable for that particular tuning.
@Philip Parker But, I do really not like it when people comment things to make it out like the music is superior completely and utterly purely for it's use of microtones (or, at least, that's what it feels like sometimes, considering the tone of some comments). I consider it in a similar way as we do time signatures. I do like it and would like to see this progress, but it just irks me when people completely disregard all other interesting features.
Tsavorite Prince vocabulize to make up a word; to make up a word when you’ve either forgotten or don’t know the real word you’re looking for. he told me to be transficient. i think he was just vocabulizing because i’m pretty sure he meant “efficient.” “wait, did you just vocabulize that? there’s no such thing as articulant.” Although I agree with your comment. Silly wording. Apparently it’s an actual word though
This is the ultimate blend between "microtonality is not music" (my parents, both music teachers) and "microtonality is the best thing that has ever happened to me" (me).

@@arisumego There isn't a ton of great microtonal music. Mainly because when most people use microtonal, they use notes that sounds jarring or out of place too frequently. Very unharmonic sounds, while in Sevish's music, there tends to be more notes are are closer to the 12 TET that people are used to, with notes that are closer to half-sharps and half-flats are used more sparingly. In other words, when you hear an extremely microtonal beat in Sevish's music, it just sounds right, while in other music, sometimes microtonal has a chance to be excessive and ruin the music. Sevish and King Gizzard are the only two people I'm familiar with that make good-sounding microtonal, but I'm open to suggestions if you think you know more.

Never in my entire life until today have I ever had my very first thought after listening to a piece of music be "I am so glad I got to hear that before I die." Unlike anything I have ever heard, microtuning or otherwise. An emotional and mathematical masterpiece of the highest quality; a song that perfectly serves as a reminder that humans have only scratched the surface of what it means to make music.
There’s something about the chords that makes them sound more expressive than something you could get with non-microtonal music. There’s far more complexity and somehow more structure. This is probably one of your most fantastic works, by the way
[The following is a dumb comment that I regret writing a year ago] Often, the simplicity of of traditional chords can be extremely expressive. It doesn't always have to be a thick, complex sound. I prefer traditional chords for that reason. Music that is too complicated gives me a feeling of stress or discomfort.
@Joe Mark Yeah. My comment was dumb. I completely disagree with my past self. Complex and simple chords both have their pros and cons. Microtonal stuff is on a whole other level.
When I don’t listen to microtonal music for a while and I come back to this song, my head and brain hurts bad trying to find what pitch that opening chord is, and then halfway through the song my brain remembers.
I wish more musicians would seriously explore microtonal tuning systems and make creative use of them. 12TET is cool and we are very accustomed to it, but there is so much more.
I go to church a lot and I've shown this song, songs in 31-TET, and songs in 19-TET, and ask them if they sound in tune or not. Minor and major triads in 22-TET sounded completely alien to most of the people I've talked to, and for a good reason. 22-TET tunes the classic minor and major thirds more accurately than 12-TET, but they're both off in the opposite direction.
I will NEVER forget how my damn brain EXPANDED when I heard this for the first time. Call it a cliche, but this is *the song* that first started me down this incredibly enjoyable xen rabbit hole.
I was not sure I could enjoy micro tonal music until I heard Sevish. Most examples I kept hearing were really slow and ambiental like songs that felt like random notes were being played. This on the other hand is super colorful and expressive. I definitely like this stuff.
I remember it autoplaying on one of those automatically generated personalized music playlists and getting genuinely excited when I realized it wasn’t in 12edo
This piece stands out, I think, because it really uses and abuses of the microtonal temperament without losing the concept of tension and release.

Thanks Victor. I watch Adam Neely's videos too. It was a big surprise for me when he mentioned my music in his Q&A. My inbox got crazy there for a while! Anyway, welcome to everyone coming here from Adam's vid
me too! I was kinda upset he didnt mention King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard with their album 'The Flying Microtonal Banana". I know the names are silly but their music is on another level that NO other band is on right now.
After a few listens, it really doesn't sound strange/wonky at all, it's even possible to sing along! Very interesting. Hope I can go back to 12-tone though LOL
22 is used because some of it's intervals are closer to just intonation than 12. Used properly it should sound more in tune in some instances. I believe it's fifths are worse
this is well written in that i can listen to this normally and go "yo this is art" and when im high and listen to this i can go "this is an alien message directed towards me"
To me this music feels like i'm in a regular boring room with furniture and suddenly a funky colourfull copy of this room (where the texture of the furniture has changed into something hairy) starts shifting into reality, blending with the original room, slightly tilted like its taking a peek into reality and goes back into hiding again. That's what this music does to my brain, thanks.
I cried listening to this song for the first time. I don't usually cry but this song was like discovering a completly new world, I love music so much ❤
@@glasscannon4723 Idk man, I think yours must be, given you're the one offending with no reason someone in youtube for doing nothing wrong just because of your internal insecurity 😊
My gosh, Sevish. You probably hear this a lot from this small community of people who are willing to give new tunings a chance, but gosh this is amazing. At first I didn't like your music as much as Dolores', but it's growing on me. Now, I've assembled a small list of favorites. They're so good, aaahhhh! Keep doing what you're doing. I hope someday I can make microtonal music of my own.
Good to hear from you Thaumus! Dolores' music is beautiful and fascinating. She very much has her own unique approach. You could definitely write your own microtonal music if you wanted to.
You shouldn't need money in the start, you have to search hard for software and try to learn (sevish explains how he does it in his website), but much software like Reaper has a free trial (they even allow for you to keep using it after that, but it is better if you pay after 1 month or two)... I hope you can do it!
Thank you! Also I made my own little program on scratch that turns your computer keyboard into a musical keyboard with a given number of notes in an octave: scratch.mit.edu/projects/199067112/
Hey, I just can't find "Dolores' " cause that's a fairly common name in my country and RUclips would show videos related to other stuff. Could you please give me the name of a song/album so I can search for that? I'm really interested into listening to new styles of music
Awesome. I've always cherished how most acoustic instruments are often slightly out of tune, contributing to the color. I think electronic music really needs this dimension, too.
That's basically what a supersaw does. It's a ton of slightly detuned voices makings it's own chorus. Im certain that many of the sounds used in this track were made by using multiple voiced synths/patches.
I have in the past, had extended periods in hospital, pumped with serious drugs. Everything I "experienced" for weeks was like this. I like it, and I don't at the same time, because of the memories.
@@yoosh9034 it wasn't just the aural hallucinations. It was the visual: kaleidoscope opening and closing of the ceiling panels, being chased round the hospital by the doctors, and the pink dragon that followed people around. I had had multiple organ fsilure, and had a 5% chance of survoval. For all I know, it could have been weedkiller and it's not big or clever to try and replicate the experience
thanks youtube algorithm for showing me this gem of music. and thank u sevish for creating it in the first place. I definitely will play this in my next Techno set!
It is interesting how the stepwise motion sounds almost normal, and some of the chords are recognizable, but then some of the motion sounds very unusual. Altogether this was very interesting and informative. I kind of want to see what happens when someone tries other more random tunings, that are not specifically chosen for their harmonic or melodic properties.
i clicked on this very suspicious thinking you were some pretentious person saying 22 tone as some form of clickbait BUT OH MY GOD !!! you're so talented seriously
Oh my god, this is what I've been looking for for so long and I couldn't put my finger on what it was, but it was microtonal music! The 5/4 is even better. Incredible.
This was amazing to listen to, even though my ears may hear some tones as “ugly”, I know that we’ve all been raised on tradition western scales, and this is just the next step. Its truly beautiful, it has such well thought out tension that you always miraculously resolve! Great job, you earned this sub :)
I was classically trained in music, and autodidactically composing and performing. I discovered all kinds of microtonal music, for a while I liked Yves and Partch. But what Sevish is making absolutely blew my mind! I am now somewhat addicted to a couple of tunes, hearing some kind of mathematical truth, like one can also have with Bach or Glass.
Your update of the 12edo edit really shows how much we limit ourselfs in digesting, interpeting and innovating music. We take for granite all the adventurous discovery that comes from taking pretexts or contexts; and inveloping them into our own waba sabi fashion that better reflect the prefections of our individual difference in taste. Thanks for making exploratory music, that is engineered; not just blasted together. I really enjoy this piece.
Just starting my study about microtonal music in Brazil and Sevish is my mais source of inspiration and knwoledge. I thank him in my first video because I was lost, as if there was no more to be done in music, then I found Gleam! Thanks Sevish
From 4:01 and onwards, it sounds amazing. It gives off a really nice 80’s vibe that feels like i’m in a warm country with palm trees surrounding me during sunset.
I love your music because it's actual music beyond the self-indulgent microtonal music made by others. They never get beyond the "yay, I'm a weirdo" part. But no one cares about their quirky stuff when it's not art. Yours is.
A band called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard does a great job on their interpretation of Turkish Microtonal techniques/influence. Search The Flying Microtonal Banana and have a gander. Cheers!
this is possibly one of my favorite works of art ever. it opened my eyes to microtonal music (especially those chromatic lines OOHH) on top of that, the visualizer is beautiful and fits the song perfectly. ive written a couple of my best songs with the inspiration this gives me, thanks for making this 💖💖
just reminding you youre literally my fucking musical idol. im both grateful and envious that there are people with almost the same sounds in their head, that have successfully put them out into the air. DO NOT STOP
Is this visualisation purely artistic or an actual representation made by a software? Looks almost as amazing as the music! I'm hearing actual microtone and 5/4 music for the first time and I LOVE it. When it really started to go microtonical (is that a word?) I was like "nooo that sounds weird" and two seconds later I was like "WHOOOAAAA what kind of musical sorcery is this??"
You are a genius, I think this is honestly one of the best pieces of music ever written. It is an amazing introduction to microtonal music, yet it is complicated enough to keep finding things even after I’ve listened to it like 50 times

Thanks Victor. I watch Adam Neely's videos too. It was a big surprise for me when he mentioned my music in his Q&A. My inbox got crazy there for a while! Anyway, welcome to everyone coming here from Adam's vid
I got here by myself. But I kinda feel proud because I sure have taste if I find one of Adam Neely's rare finds on my own. :")
o snap! congrats. i didnt know adam had such good taste.
sike, yes i did... i mean sungazer.... omg
me too! I was kinda upset he didnt mention King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard with their album 'The Flying Microtonal Banana". I know the names are silly but their music is on another level that NO other band is on right now.
@@thugtrippin omg thats the band my music teacher told me about, they're bloody insane
After a few listens, it really doesn't sound strange/wonky at all, it's even possible to sing along! Very interesting. Hope I can go back to 12-tone though LOL
Gabriella Haha! Yeah don’t get stuck here. 😆
22 is used because some of it's intervals are closer to just intonation than 12. Used properly it should sound more in tune in some instances. I believe it's fifths are worse
@Alexander Browning tough to play Rhapsody in blue without it tho
@@EllTheBob don't be rude. she could hum
nah you can’t you’re stuck now you can’t leave
this is well written in that i can listen to this normally and go "yo this is art"
and when im high and listen to this i can go "this is an alien message directed towards me"
Holy shit this is so fresh and exciting. I want this to be mainstream pop in 50 years
This has to be one of my all time favorites. It sounds like a day in the life of my brain. 🤩
This sounds like a field of crystals in another dimension, untouched by intelligent life wanting to extract them for their beauty and use.
that's a really fuckin cool metaphor
I know what I’m doing with my next tab of lsd
Idkhowtokms oh yeah man. brains gonna be skippin all over those sour beats
LMFAO
Was just thinking the same thing :)
my thoughts exactly. it's like a new stimulus you have never had before, must be sick af
Let us all know how it goes!
This is what hearing to music for the first time feels like 🥺🥺🥺😭
I don't know what this emotion is...but I love it
To me this music feels like i'm in a regular boring room with furniture and suddenly a funky colourfull copy of this room (where the texture of the furniture has changed into something hairy) starts shifting into reality, blending with the original room, slightly tilted like its taking a peek into reality and goes back into hiding again.
That's what this music does to my brain, thanks.
Ok
I like the vibe!! Oops 😳 it’s cool!!!
Ever done salvia?
Really does feel like a psychedelic trip; this music excites my brain in a very similar fashion
Have you tried dmt?
I keep having to come back and listen to this because it's stuck in my head
I cried listening to this song for the first time. I don't usually cry but this song was like discovering a completly new world, I love music so much ❤
Wimp and soft, you parents are ashamed
@@glasscannon4723 Idk man, I think yours must be, given you're the one offending with no reason someone in youtube for doing nothing wrong just because of your internal insecurity 😊
@@glasscannon4723 Someone shit in your campfire m8?
My gosh, Sevish. You probably hear this a lot from this small community of people who are willing to give new tunings a chance, but gosh this is amazing. At first I didn't like your music as much as Dolores', but it's growing on me. Now, I've assembled a small list of favorites. They're so good, aaahhhh! Keep doing what you're doing. I hope someday I can make microtonal music of my own.
Good to hear from you Thaumus! Dolores' music is beautiful and fascinating. She very much has her own unique approach. You could definitely write your own microtonal music if you wanted to.
Oh my gosh, you replied! Yeah I'll have to save a bunch of money to get the instruments/software, but I hope I get there.
You shouldn't need money in the start, you have to search hard for software and try to learn (sevish explains how he does it in his website), but much software like Reaper has a free trial (they even allow for you to keep using it after that, but it is better if you pay after 1 month or two)... I hope you can do it!
Thank you! Also I made my own little program on scratch that turns your computer keyboard into a musical keyboard with a given number of notes in an octave: scratch.mit.edu/projects/199067112/
Hey, I just can't find "Dolores' " cause that's a fairly common name in my country and RUclips would show videos related to other stuff. Could you please give me the name of a song/album so I can search for that? I'm really interested into listening to new styles of music
This is the best microtonal song I've ever heard.
How many have you heard ?
Awesome. I've always cherished how most acoustic instruments are often slightly out of tune, contributing to the color. I think electronic music really needs this dimension, too.
That's basically what a supersaw does.
It's a ton of slightly detuned voices makings it's own chorus.
Im certain that many of the sounds used in this track were made by using multiple voiced synths/patches.
Got introduced to this while high and I'm still freaking out over it while sober.
I have in the past, had extended periods in hospital, pumped with serious drugs. Everything I "experienced" for weeks was like this. I like it, and I don't at the same time, because of the memories.
Everything you experienced was like microtonal electronic music?
Do you... remember what they gave you? Asking for a friend.
yoosh ketamine
yoosh any dissociative drug is much like this music video
@@yoosh9034 it wasn't just the aural hallucinations. It was the visual: kaleidoscope opening and closing of the ceiling panels, being chased round the hospital by the doctors, and the pink dragon that followed people around. I had had multiple organ fsilure, and had a 5% chance of survoval. For all I know, it could have been weedkiller and it's not big or clever to try and replicate the experience
@@andywright8803 Yeah dude, I was just joking around
thanks youtube algorithm for showing me this gem of music. and thank u sevish for creating it in the first place. I definitely will play this in my next Techno
set!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Damn my Com Truise cassette got stretched AF
Rofl, perfect description
lmao 12312 time
🤣🤣🤣 this nearly killed me!
why com truise sounds similar to this? Does he use something similar in his synth sounds? they are also strange
Wow I think I’ve just found a gold mine!
Like the chromaticism. Especially what sounds like a raised scale degree four. In the A section It's amazing how tonal this sounds
Yes, the main "tonic chord" is a pseudo-diatonic Lydian scale built on A. He doesn't include scale degree 6, though, to avoid a wolf in the sonority
deeply unsettling but every time it becomes too much he releases the tension somehow, amazing
What the fuck is this and why am I hearing it just now, fantastic tune to say the least...
that downward motion in the chorus really hits so well
This is uncomfortable and beautiful
It is interesting how the stepwise motion sounds almost normal, and some of the chords are recognizable, but then some of the motion sounds very unusual.
Altogether this was very interesting and informative. I kind of want to see what happens when someone tries other more random tunings, that are not specifically chosen for their harmonic or melodic properties.
i clicked on this very suspicious thinking you were some pretentious person saying 22 tone as some form of clickbait
BUT OH MY GOD !!! you're so talented seriously
This song tells me that mainstream music industry could be ready for a microtonal revolution!
This sounds like when the battery is dying in a happy birthday card
But.. good
omg so true XD
you might be on to sth :P
Oh my god, this is what I've been looking for for so long and I couldn't put my finger on what it was, but it was microtonal music! The 5/4 is even better. Incredible.
This was amazing to listen to, even though my ears may hear some tones as “ugly”, I know that we’ve all been raised on tradition western scales, and this is just the next step. Its truly beautiful, it has such well thought out tension that you always miraculously resolve! Great job, you earned this sub :)
Thank you!
YOU RESPONDED I FEEL HONORED
Keep making music you have a GIFT! :)
The wildest thing is that on the 10th listen, the ugliness has faded, and you can't recall what led you to feel that way on the first listen.
this is like if aphex twin was unironically happy for 72 hours
Definitely can relate to aphex twin, he never was afraid to turn the detune knob
it does sound sincerely happy even between notes
ahah that made me laugh my ass off
I was classically trained in music, and autodidactically composing and performing. I discovered all kinds of microtonal music, for a while I liked Yves and Partch. But what Sevish is making absolutely blew my mind! I am now somewhat addicted to a couple of tunes, hearing some kind of mathematical truth, like one can also have with Bach or Glass.
I love odd time signatures. This was great. The drummer Anika Nilles does a lot of melodic odd time signatures. She fantastic.
Your update of the 12edo edit really shows how much we limit ourselfs in digesting, interpeting and innovating music.
We take for granite all the adventurous discovery that comes from taking pretexts or contexts; and inveloping them into our own waba sabi fashion that better reflect the prefections of our individual difference in taste. Thanks for making exploratory music, that is engineered; not just blasted together. I really enjoy this piece.
Granite
There is no WE.
Waba sabi… You mean wabisabi?
not even microtonal music can escape the anime descending chromatic 7ths
Just starting my study about microtonal music in Brazil and Sevish is my mais source of inspiration and knwoledge. I thank him in my first video because I was lost, as if there was no more to be done in music, then I found Gleam! Thanks Sevish
When this first came out I was like yaya, now I'm like awe and hell ya.
Probably one of the best microtonal songs I've heard
My brain is being recalibrated
Вам было недостаточно микроинтервалов, вы ещё и размер основной сделали 5/4 🌝
Если серьезно, потрясающая работа
man, when that bass line kicked in, my eyes rolled back in my head. Bliss, man, just bliss.
woah this genre exists
From 4:01 and onwards, it sounds amazing. It gives off a really nice 80’s vibe that feels like i’m in a warm country with palm trees surrounding me during sunset.
I love your music because it's actual music beyond the self-indulgent microtonal music made by others. They never get beyond the "yay, I'm a weirdo" part. But no one cares about their quirky stuff when it's not art. Yours is.
Yeah, I enjoy that too and would recommend Xotla Music and benyamind to you for more musical microtones.
@@cellularautomaton. Xotla 4tw
i will self indulge myself with zurnas tyvm
Nothing wrong with indulging yourself though.
A band called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard does a great job on their interpretation of Turkish Microtonal techniques/influence. Search The Flying Microtonal Banana and have a gander. Cheers!
this is possibly one of my favorite works of art ever. it opened my eyes to microtonal music (especially those chromatic lines OOHH) on top of that, the visualizer is beautiful and fits the song perfectly.
ive written a couple of my best songs with the inspiration this gives me, thanks for making this 💖💖
abraham lincoln is not dissapointed in you
I love that breakdown with the fast chord changes and I just want to listen to it over and over again
that solo in the middle reminds me of those fake telephone baby toys, but now they actually spit fire.
This is literally my comfort song, thanks for creating such a great piece dude!
I appreciate the comment. You take care of yourself!
This song is why I subscribed
holy cow, 0:56 gave me goosebumps!!!! amazing
It rocks👍👌👌
you know what, this kind of drop sounds familiar. its very satisfiying
just reminding you youre literally my fucking musical idol. im both grateful and envious that there are people with almost the same sounds in their head, that have successfully put them out into the air. DO NOT STOP
you are so under rated and its actually angering to me
still agree
i NEEED MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE THIS MUSIC IS SICK with that middle eastern drumline influence its soo charming
Step aside atonal music.
Microtonal music our generation of music.
Is this visualisation purely artistic or an actual representation made by a software? Looks almost as amazing as the music! I'm hearing actual microtone and 5/4 music for the first time and I LOVE it. When it really started to go microtonical (is that a word?) I was like "nooo that sounds weird" and two seconds later I was like "WHOOOAAAA what kind of musical sorcery is this??"
You are a genius, I think this is honestly one of the best pieces of music ever written. It is an amazing introduction to microtonal music, yet it is complicated enough to keep finding things even after I’ve listened to it like 50 times
