Terry once explained how he made the hymns. The hymns were from the random generator and he picked out the best ones after trying for days. He changed a couple of notes that were off, to make it sound more pleasing, just like you said. Terry even named most of his videos "Songs by God and me". The reason he gave, as to why the generator sounds the way it does, is because god hates the pretty American music and loves the humble and innocent music made by 12 year olds. So the generator tries to imitate music made by 12 year olds. He also named the Latvian national anthem as one of gods favourite music
I think around 5:40-ish Beeble mentioned the program getting a little glitchy followed by the songs Terry posting not always following the exact rules. Maybe that was a feature and not a bug. Maybe he would wait till it glitches just right and he could see the hand of God at work on that particular generation, then polish the result.
Terry understood God is controlled chaos. I'm glad you were able to see how he envisioned God songs to be interpreted. They are inspirations for songs, not necessarily songs in and of themselves.
WOW that ending was amazing man. I don't think Terry edited any of the songs, I think he just sat like you did, for hours, and hours, and hours until he found what he was looking for
Nah, he did actually edit his songs. There's a video of him showing off his composing materials and starting off with his own melody and then editing the God Song parts that were made afterwards.
The cursor flashes at the same time as the tempo because the system mostly uses the same clock universally, or in other words, everything updates at the same tick timer. Also I loved your incorporation of the song at the end, I think it was faithful to terry's vision to help people make music.
>When you eliminate the black keys from the piano it allows music to sound a little bit more natural and it's less likely for dissonance to occur. I have a sneaking suspicion that there was a specific reason behind this.
That's not the reason but there is another one. Essentially, for the longest time in music history, the church forbade the use of the sharp notes (black keys).
You're a gifted musician, that's obvious. What a great song at the end. It honors a very troubled man who still tried to give something to humanity, however flawed he, humanity, and the gift all were.
I'm glad you covered this. The documentary I watched mentioned Terry delved into music theory in 2014 to improve the god song program, but left it at that. (it also skimmed a lot of Terry's early accomplishments so I assume I'm missing a lot of the story)
I like what you did here I once took the notes of Risen and used them to create a guitar tuning in which I used to write a song on the anniversary of Terry's passing. I posted the video to youtube, but took it down after feeling embarrassed about it.
What an amazing video. You actually took the time to learn to set up and use the OS which is already quite a task for most people. Not to mention the deep analysis of how the music patterns go and the ending arrangement of the song. You are truly a man of your craft! Wish you the best in your career.
This is beautiful, man. Thanks for breaking down the GodSongs and that great tune you made at the end there. Awesome channel. I knew your Billie Spring video but only recently dove into the rest of your videos and I'm really enjoying them!
These are the videos that are missing from modern youtube Edit: the ending being a magnitude more high budget then the early parts of the video just because is something you can never find now
Awesome video! It's great to see high-quality videos of TempleOS stuff, it covers a lot of niches! It would be fun to hear artists try their hand at some of their own PC Speaker music inside TempleOS, it requires a bit of coding, but most of it is done through a string passed to the Play(); function
6:29 you actually just gave me a realky great idea for a bot that reharms melodies / makes new ones that have really smooth voice leading - altho it goes into different keys.. also it can be very dissonant in the diatonic c maj
Really cool video and great playing at the end man. When I learned about God Songs earlier today, I could tell they werent actually random, but I figured there was no way someone else with music theory experience would have been interested enough to figure out how they worked. I wonder if he had musicial training, or maybe just took rhythmic figures from hymns he liked and set those as the values to be chosen from.
I was kind of distantly listening to the vid but not really fully watching, then the end came in with your layering of the song, and I sat up and was immediately pulled in. That was surprisingly beautiful.
11:55 "Press F1(help) then scroll down to 'Sound' and press space bar or left click it." Should give you some more clues. For more on how God Song randomness works. Press Ctrl+Shift+F type "GodSong" then press Esc, and scroll up to the D drive (or C drive) and press Esc with D drive selected. The search results will appear, press space bar or click the result for GodSong and its the function is called when F6 is pressed.
Pretty awesome analysis. Was curious to see myself how it worked but I was always too lazy to look at the source code. Nice song as well by the way. Is it Public Domain ? haha
You say you're not a programmer, but you've installed templeos and know about hex numbers! Obviously you have some technical know how. Great vid, loved the song at the end too.
I like that the one voice is so simple, it means you can do what you do and layer more things to make it more complex if you so desire. I kinda want to see if someone can convert the PC speaker to control voltage for an analogue synth.
A lot of people think truly random things are not random. Spotify had to change the way their random song selection worked in a playlist because people kept complaining it would play the same songs or play them in the same order, but that's just how random works, its possible to roll a dice and get 6 a hundred times, you'd genuinely believe the dice was rigged or broken but nope, its just random. So a lot of software like Spotify's random song selector has been intentionally changed to be pseudo random, in that it will apply some logic to the process to make it seem more random to a human while in fact being less random. TempleOS likely tries to be as close to random as a computer can get, I don't think he will have edited anything, he probably felt it would ruin the magic to put in fakery in there.
Don't know if its an issue anymore but used to be when I shuffled a playlist it would always shuffle it in the same order. Theres random and then theres near impossible odds. For 30 days in a row I listened to the same playlist shuffled freshly every day and it was the same order every time. The playlist itself was about 20 songs. The 20 songs in the same order for 30 days in a row. I don't think thats random. I'm guessing somehow that there is a seed attached to your account that is used to randomize playlists. But the seed doesn't change at least for 30 days.
Do you know how to read the notes by the code? I’m trying to get the notes for the flight sim and I just have the code. Not sure what some of the characters mean. For instance: 5eCGFsD4A5e is a string of notes not sure what 5e means.
Using only the white keys is exactly what I'd expect from Terry
😮
I laughed way too hard at this.
the CIA might glow, but terry shines
I thought I understood this comment, (him wanting to keep things simple) watched a minute into video, then it got me
😂😂😂😂

A lot of American music is very corporate
if only Terry listened to Aphex Twin
@wavyeen honestly I think he would either be a huge fan or hate it
God bless Latvia I guess lol

That song at the end is tremendous. Terry would have been delighted to see TempleOS used exactly for what it was intended - inspiring creativity.
Terry was a troubled and brilliant guy. It's really beautiful how people like you are keeping some of what he created alive.
Not troubled... Inspired
@@brothertyler no, definitely troubled. Probably also inspired, but also deeply troubled
@@Ben.Babylon he's kickin' it with his space alien, no troubles, no glowies. No troubles now.

Nobody should call you a coward for listening to God Songs over and over.

Your explanations were great but the ending was something else. I'm sure Terry would love what you've done with his God song
I like what you did here
I once took the notes of Risen and used them to create a guitar tuning in which I used to write a song on the anniversary of Terry's passing. I posted the video to youtube, but took it down after feeling embarrassed about it.
put it back up please, it's what Terry would have wanted
Agree. I'm sure people will appreciate it a lot more than you do.

This Song based on God Rhythms are awesome! Great Work.
I just watched this video yesterday and I've been unable to stop listening to the song over and over.
The ending was beautiful
6:29 you actually just gave me a realky great idea for a bot that reharms melodies / makes new ones that have really smooth voice leading - altho it goes into different keys.. also it can be very dissonant in the diatonic c maj
I like the composition you pulled out of the song.
There’s just something haunting and mystical about the music this software generates.
What a beautiful tribute! May he rest in peace

Wow, the song you created from the god song base was amazing. Great video!
The ending of the video was mighty impressive and put a smile on my face, that was sick, dude!
I think King Terry would have enjoyed your tune.
Really good video man, Subbed.
Would love to see some more temple content! You explain it really well
Wow I loved that tune. Really great ode to a human with a very unique mind that deserves the respect any of us deserve. Love all of it.
Nah, Tongues implies the Gossip Circuit since the Ptolemy clan.
kanye west should sample some TempleOS God Songs
I'm so glad I've watched this to the end. A real treat. Thank you!
16:16
temple os is the chatgpt of operating systems
But TempleOS works
Fuck man, that was beautiful. You're awesome.
terry would have loved this. People like you restore my hope for humanity
fantastic project and your song was really good, too. thanks for sharing them with us. nothing about the video was boring at all.

That ending was beautiful.
Great video and a touching tribute.
Hands down best video I've watched this decade. Thank u homie
Yay! New Beeble. I've missed you.
God songs are all I listen to now
That song at the end was amazing. Terry would've been proud
Very nice, please produce more!
Pretty awesome analysis. Was curious to see myself how it worked but I was always too lazy to look at the source code. Nice song as well by the way. Is it Public Domain ? haha
Thanks! Sure, it's public domain, if you head over to my soundcloud you should be able to download a higher quality version
You say you're not a programmer, but you've installed templeos and know about hex numbers!
Obviously you have some technical know how. Great vid, loved the song at the end too.
I wish Terry had invented reverb
That ending was beautiful.
I miss Terry.... 🙁
How unsearchable are His judgments and decisions and how unfathomable and untraceable are His ways!
whoa! this was epic
My man, make a version of this video with just a couple of minutes intro and then the song. This could get so much more exposure.
I like that the one voice is so simple, it means you can do what you do and layer more things to make it more complex if you so desire. I kinda want to see if someone can convert the PC speaker to control voltage for an analogue synth.
Well, thanks. Now I'm crying.
Great video. Loved the song!
The simples work the best imo. The song you made is awesome!
Honestly? These things sound better than I expected.
Very pretty song you made. I genuinely like it. Great work! ✌
Woah.... Models look so sweet and words are cute
ily beeble 🐞
Very interesting stuff, very nice video.
This is awesome! Terry was a genius and your a musical genius too

Iirc I remember him showing generating songs then editing them afterwards on the streams he made. Something about "fine tuning"

Damn, God be making some bangers
That sounds awesome!
Did you intentionally used pretty old version? Latest TempleOS version, latest is V5.03
Do you have Temple OS 3.0.2, 3.0.4 & 3.0.6? And why choose 4.12?
15:40 and thus, he succumbed into madness
Terry's evolution is logical.
Unless you believe that god made the computer.
But the code speaks for itself.
But do you think Terry might have manually edited some of those tunes?
;)
Lol, I have a habit of repeating myself
@@beeble9285 so did Terry.
:(
Jesus man you’re so talented
What is the hardest question you must answer in programming according to Terry Davis?
how much voodoo is appropriate for our purposes
woah the song at the end was so good
So this is how LJN made their songs....
This would be pretty neat for a riff generator.
👍
This is wonderful!
1:12 bruh even kanye hadnt gone those places yet
This is so good....
Hey, i have a question: Can/Would you make a analysis of the song: Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel?
One for the algorithm
based and Skitzo God pilled
bruh got beepboxed
this is legit like those dreams you have between falling back asleep at like 5-6 and when you wake up at 8-9 latter lol

You should be able to plug that text string into the templeOS music program and it will give you the notes.
RIP
Dope stuff
Amazing 😲
has someone got to the god Q&A
wait why arent u on twitter aka x ?
I'm surprised that you were able to get the sound to work? I've been unsuccessful in my attempts
Also, very interesting, thanks for the video!

@@IAm-zo1bo thanks, I could've sworn I tired that, maybe I'll give it another go :)
When in doubt, install an onboard speaker.
14:01
9:46 "let me play you an example of a normal song" ... with all respect to Terry, nothing about this whole thing is normal :-D Sorry.
It does sound normal to me.
