15 Note Poly Tempo Pendulum
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I played 15 diffrent notes at 0.2 bpm diffrences. The result is an amazing sweep of the rhythmic subdivision spectrum!
Each time you hear a bell it means that we’ve reached an important subdivision. 8th notes, triplets,
and sixteenth notes.

Exactly the same, and for the same reasons
Yooooo
...and you'd be perfectly OK with sitting there for 5 minutes to see it come back around into sync! 😂

It's amazing that they found 15 guys who look exactly the same.

You see, son, life is like a 15 Note Poly Tempo Pendulum. Sometimes there's chaos. Sometimes there's beauty. But no matter what, there's always a pattern, and history repeats itself every five minutes.
Underrated comment
lol
Wow that's deep
Dang...that hits hard
The fractal nature of RUclips comments... .. .. .
The dedication to play perfectly in time for 5 minutes shouldn't go unnoticed, nor should the split screen editing
It was quite the challenge but I love the whole process hahah thank you!
Not 5 minutes - 75 minutes!
@@JeremieCarrier you look so dead inside tho
@@litterbox019 lol
I doubt it was his first try.
Can we appreciate the fact that this guy stood there for a total of 75 minutes just hitting a single note repeatedly for each clip?
Right?! 😮💨🫡
That we know of! I bet there were retakes
@@WillSenechalHe recorded to a click track, so less likely.
That had not occurred to me. That's impressive
Why, why!? Why on Earth would you not run loops? 🤯
Yeah, amazing. Still though, why!? 😮
I like how he's using his left hand for just one of the notes.
Right arm probably got tired by then lol
dunk dunk dunk dunk
@@birdeater2848No, it’s because he’s hitting the furthest left note so he has to use his other hand to match the blocking of the other shots. Also if he used his right hand then he would have to reach over too far and it wouldn’t be symmetrical with the first shot at the top left.
Didn’t notice until you pointed it out. Now I can’t help but stare. 😮
It's so awesome hearing it converge into a fire beat only to return back to chaos after a few seconds

Equates to 1.1705 notes per second. * 60

Call me polyamorous, because I love this
@@konroh2Except for those that aren't interested in monogamy. Then whatever they choose is best for them.
@@aguynamedshelly If good is true good then it's universal. As such we don't choose our own ethics. So I'd respectfully disagree, we either pattern ourselves towards the good and best or we don't.
@@konroh2counter point: the “best” is entirely subjective and depends on the person, because, believe it or not, what someones interested in is going to be the best for them. as such, there is no argument to be made for either side because it truly does not matter.
@@suphorg8597 That's the point, it does matter. Good is not subjective. Morals are not relative. It doesn't matter what feels good or best, it matters what is good or best. Ultimately if good is truly good then it will be the best. We are arguing from different worldviews. I believe truth, beauty and good are truly real, it seems you do not. (If they are subjective and relative they are not universally real.)
@konroh2
Aaaand let me guess...The Bible is good and moral🙄 Yeah that checks out time and time again.
What about the Quran? it’s the same book just in a different language🤡
Wow, this really reminds me of Steve Reich!
Mmmm mmmmm minimalism.
I feel like I’ve heard some of the rhythms this settled on specifically in some of reichs works, or at least super similar!
Got this in recommendation after finding Steve's Electric Counterpoint
I was thinking the same thing!
Pretty much the same principle Steve used a lot (called phasing)
Wait untill jacob collier does this with a crowd

There's something poetic in a mathematical way on this video.
Dead By Daylight.
people typically call that "musical"
@@naringrass Really?
Some math and Q&A.
Working our way back, we know that the fastest rhythm is 70 bpm. Then the other notes are played at rhythms 69.8 69.6 69.4 69.2 69 and so on up until 67.2 bpm.
1. Q - Why do all notes are in synch again after 5 minutes?
A - Because multiplying the above numbers by 5 gives you whole numbers. We hear the 350th beat of the fastest note, the 349th of the second ... and so on until the 336th beat of the slowest note. Indeed 5 times 67.2 is 336.
2. Q - In between we also hear regularities appear. What are they?
A - Halfway through, after 150 seconds or 2 and a half minutes, the abovementioned numbers are multiplied by 5 and divided by 2. This means some notes (8) fall on the beat on that second, the other (7) notes on the half beat. That's why you hear a "duplet" or "eighth notes" if we agree the beat is a quarter note.
Likewise, after 100 seconds, you'll find 5 notes on the beat, 5 on 1/3 after the beat and 5 more at 2/3 after the beat. You hear it as a "triplet". We can go on like this to get quadruplets at 75s and so on, dividing the 300s in smaller portions.
3 - Q - Yes, but the regularities also appear in the second half.
A - Indeed, there is symmetry. The triplet at 100 is "repeated" at 200. The quadruplet at 75 is repeated at 225. (At 150 it is "hidden" in the duplet).
4 - Q - When do we hear the 15 notes evenly spaced out?
A- At 20 seconds. Since 300/15 = 20, the distance between each note will be equal after 20 seconds. As said, one note lands on the beat, and all other notes are a 15th of a beat away from each other. Due to symmetry, you hear it again at 300-20 = 280 seconds, or 4:40.
5 -Q - When is the first occurrence of two notes synching up?
A - At 300/14 = 21,42... seconds the spacing is 1/14th of a second so that the slowest note and the fastest note are in synch. Shown in another way: the fastest note at 70/60 = 7/6 bps will catch up first with the slowest note at 67.2/60 = 28/25 bps, at x seconds, where 7/6 x = 28/25 x + 1. Solving for x gives 150/7 or 300/14. Here's the "14-let". It doesn't land on a whole number of seconds because 14 is no divisor of 300.
I'm not expecting anyone to read this but I thought it might be of interest to a few.
Yeah, we should have played more attention when factorisation, Least common multiple and Greatest common divisor were taught in school 😊
Or read that part of the manual of your calculator (my Casio does this🤓)
Thanks
You are such a perfect nerd! I love it. Thanks.
I like how there's a constant "humm" or "pad" underneath coming from the natural sustain of the lower notes
It might be added in for effect, there's an added percussion hit at 1:16 as well.
I believe its from the two lowest notes (top left) from looking at them @@raine1319
@@raine1319 He states in the description the bell noise denotes important subdivisions.
Wow, this brings back a weirdly specific memory. There's a game called Glider, where you control a paper airplane flying through a house full of hazards. In this game, there is a room with a narrow gap in which 2 infinitely bouncing basketballs are bouncing ever so slightly out of sync, which you need to cross. There is no safe place between them, so the solution is to wait until they sync up and then fly through the gap, preferably using your speed powerup to give you some margin for error. It's one of the hardest rooms in the game, and is called Double Jeopardy. When I was little, the high scores were littered with attempts that ended in that room since my entire family enjoyed that game and we all struggled to get past this room. I remember sitting there, agonizingly waiting for the moment those two basketballs would bounce in perfect sync.
I'm almost tempted to go download glider and replay it. It's abandonware, as I recall, and thus freely available on any site that has it.

This is like 100x as cool as I was expecting it to be from the title nd thumbnail alone
If you tried this in real time, all players would magically lock together in a synchronised rhythm, no matter how off-time they started 😂
This is basically impossible for real musicians. But how cool if you could actually perform this live
It would be possible if they all get earmufflers with a click track in their ear.
@@Obi-WanKannabisexact same thought i had. I wonder if the same phenomena would happen or not.
Not all single instrument, but check out "Music for 18 musicians" by Steve Reich played live.
@@ABarbershopBarber Rob Scallon's video of playing reverb with actual players shows that it is possible even when you can hear the other players. But it is insanely hard.
this is lowkey kinda terrifying and yet so beautiful
One of the most profound pieces of music i've ever heard. Has a haunting, mystical beauty to it. Feels like it's expressing something very fundamental concerning nature, periodicity, emergence of form and stuff like that.
You’ll love Steve Reich.
+1 Steve, and John Luther Adams is worth a listen!
I didn’t expect to watch the whole video, but once I started I couldn’t stop. Very cool. 😊
I kept hearing thosr chimes and was confused until I read the description.
Very cool project!
i like how if you really focus on one frame, you can really pick out the note that that frame is playing....... really cool 😊
The fact that you had to have spent AT LEAST an hour 15 minutes on this is crazy. Shows the dedication!

This takes a car's turn signal playing slightly out of sync with the radio to a whole new level.
This is some real Animusic sounding stuff, and it's incredible
And listening to it on different speeds is a completely different experience
Good idea. Going to try that now.
Yes and if you have premium controls you can make your own rhythm by quickly going from normal to 2x. So much fun❤😊
Been watching some of the channels publishing computer generated polyrhythmic vids recently and those are great BUT THIS IS AWESOME! From one percussionist to another, bravo 👏👏👏
Combine this with some ambiant sounds and you've got yourself a hit! Would love a trance or psytrance remix.
This video sent me to another universe. Wow! Also, credits for being so consistent throughout the whole 5 minutes!
This is wonderful.
Your utter contempt really sells it.
The cycles between order and chaos!! Beautiful music!! Is there a transcription of this?
This is actually kind of a cool teaching tool for how a Fourier tranfrom can work. I have no idea if the maths is similar, but the demonstration of incredible structure emerging from overlapping "sine waves" is super cool to think about
It is actually. There's an awesome 3blue1brown video about it
Oh dude why is this so satisfying
So intricate and the constant shift makes it so pleasing to the ears and refreshing and surprising
Wow this unironically is amazing to listen to
5:02 Eb really needed to get home early.
That was a little surreal
This is a masterpiece.
Goes on a similar rythmic journey to Virtual Riot's polyrhythm track. I could track that song with this in my head
I was looking for this comment!
Its basically the same idea. I could also hear VRs song
Props to whoever made this. Can’t imagine the bravery it took to allow yourself to be cloned 14 times.
This is awesome! If anyone wants to hear a song like this check out #1 by Animal Collective! Amazing song
Some time around 0:50 it starts sounding like it could a dramatic discovery scene in a movie
Yes, for me it reminds of Poirot theme
This is fantastic!!! Great work!! Have wanted to make something like this for a long long time!
Respect for bass man using left hand like a boss
There are some really nice moments in this, musically. I suggest you evolve harmonically as well in another clip. Great idea!
This was really impressive. I’ve seen computer simulations of these tempo pendulums, but for someone to have done themselves in real life is admirable. Well done.
What a wild journey that was.
I loved it. My wife got annoyed 😂
Fantastic! Thank you for your courage. x0.75 speed sounds like Gamelan
I swear I started hallucinating because I thought at some point the two bottom middle frames were 1 with two arms on one person😵💫
It’s like it’s changing into a different song every now and again. Brilliant and inspiring sounds!
This is all very fascinating, but how do you know which one is the real you?
😨
PLEASE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY I NEED IT
Well... there's 5mins I'm never getting back...
I like minimalist steve reich type experiences and this was worth the listen
(As a drummer?) what I found interesting was that after a few seconds of watching just 1 camera angle I was able to single out that note being played. How does everyone else find trying this?
This is wonderful to listen to. I feel like I’ve been looking for this music all my life. Amazing that it’s generated by such a simple principle

This is like when the windshield wipers or blinkers sync up with the 15 cars in front of you
There is a piece for two pianos (whose name I forget) where each pianist plays the same piece at slightly different tempos, which I heard live on an amazing pair of Bosendorfers. The performance moved through many varying zones of melodic and harmonic discord, each with its own distinct texture and feel, from sadness to pins & needles, with my ears always struggling to find meaning in the chaos.
The point at the end when they synched together again was unexpectedly emotionally intense, cathartic even, releasing a tension we were unaware we had been tightly holding on to. Few other pieces have ever taken me on a journey like that one.
Is this it?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Phase
@@daviddawkinsthat is it.
Piano Phase; it's been covered on MANY different instruments though so it's become kind of just a _(x instrument)_ phase performance but it's still wicked to see
everyone's talking about 3:05, but 3:33 was awesome
This is absolutely fascinating! Probably the coolest video I have stumbled upon this month!
Oh my god! You're my hero. So cool!!!!!! I need to show this to my percussion students!! Please, can you explain further more?? Which are the fifteen tempos exactly and who many beats did you have to play on each one of them? Did you try on other scales? I think it may work on some pentatonic chord too. Amazing!!
I have these same questions! Looks like a version of the "Pendulum Wave" as described on wikipedia.

Wonderful! I hope Steve Reich gets to see this.
brilliant, beautiful! The ending was very impressive! Where's the metronome?
I recorded audio and video separately, at first this was purely an audio experience so I had the click in my ears, but when I realized the visual potential I re-recorded the whole thing but just for the audio, so the click is playing in speakers but then I used the audio from my first take. It was a long process 😅
What scale/arpeggio did you use? I’m hearing minor seven chord maybe
This is certainly one of the best minimalist pieces I've heard!
Wow ! thank you :) I love this concept so much, I wrote a full tune with it as well, and I'm not sure what I prefer, the composition or just the phasing part on its own!
ruclips.net/video/Y0bhvLtSAuw/видео.html
Awesome! Steve Reich vibes (marimbas? 😊).
1:00 hits hard
The 11th guy is slightly off. Do it better...
reminds me a lot of Electroplankton, that surreal musical game on the DS.
That game fucks so hard. I need to play it again now.
Absolutly amazing! Nice job! It drags you in and you cant stop lsitening and discovering new pattern. Crazy!
This is soothing but also anxiety inducing.
It’s like a struggle snuggle 😱😌😱😌
I love how simple and satisfying this is to listen to. Really clever Idea.
Not showing off like a lot of other youtube videos, the point is to show how pretty it is. Yay Math!!
How did you calculate when it would all end??
Yeahh thanks man! It's funny because I made this version of the piece where we hear the phasing structure purely on its own and another using the same audio to solo over. And honestly, I don't know wich I prefer... Both have their own merit and appeal. But I do agree that this version has something pure about it!
wonder how hard this would be to play live with multiple people with no clicks 🤔
I think impossible unfortunately, The difference between each part is just about 20 milliseconds. Also I had to do a bit of rhythm correction just to get the exact effect I was looking for
@@JeremieCarrier i am almost certain that it is impossible. with rob scallon doing real life delay, it was already hard with 3 people xD
however, im just thinking a loud xD
So I heard you like polyrhythms
It's how my car runs when the timing belt breaks.
Crazy that one of you is lefthanded
It's very interesting how when you look at one of the frames you can suddenly hear that individual note.
Wow! You’re right!!!!
Number 8 and 11 look tired.
reminds me so much of learning about foreign music from the middle east and also from africa. if it was possible to get a group to do this live would be so cool
i think it’d be possible with in ears, 15 seperate click tracks, and rehearsal time!
At 1:11 I really wanted a synth to kick in
Steve Reich would be proud
Very well done and nice to hear the various patterns in between.
1:11 sounds like that soundtrack in Portal 2
3:03 Turns into a sick beat
3rd guy got of beat by a 32nd at 3:59, gotta do it again
Please make this into a much longer piece and change a chord every cycle
Ok- I let my eyes unfocus as I watched and I was able to SEE the rhythm *_go._* also this sounds like how I’d imagine a piece about time to sound like- *_SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WRITE A PIECE AROUND THIS CAUSE I DON’T THINK ITS POSSIBLE ON GARAGEBAND._*
okay this is the most magical thing I've ever witnessed. an I saw Lisan Al Ghaib recently.
