Spaghettimonster almighty. Every time that bass comes in at 1:25 I just turn into jello. Coming from a guy who did his fair share of drugs in his prime, sober for multiple years now. For all people who never did any drugs, but also have an above average understanding of music and microtonality, this is the closest you'll ever get. And I will be following this artist closely. Your song Gleam was one of the songs that used to take me by my hand to oblivion and beyond, now it just reminds me of places I've been and experiences I've had, but it's like a photograph of a holiday way back when. I'm grateful to have kicked all those habits, but also to experience a full new Sevish album sober, and realise that the attraction wasn't at all drug fueled (since most of my co-druggies wanted easier music). The musicality, microtonality, and the "difficulty" of the music brought me here, not the drugs. Please keep on putting your songs on RUclips, that's what got me into your music, and made me decide to pay 50 pounds for your latest Morphable album (which is amazing).
"For all people who never did any drugs, but also have an above average understanding of music and microtonality, this is the closest you'll ever get." I'll take your word for it, after discovering microtonality I am never going back. I live and breathe microtones (even to a point where it might be concerning). It's like all this color was hidden from me and I'm just now seeing it all for the first time. Been listening for about 5 years now, I improvise and whistle in numerous temperaments and scales, come up with microtonal chords and melodies in my head, it's completely rewired my brain
Thanks 🙏, your music got me through AP US History with my sanity still intact. This is optimum study music, chill and unobtrusive enough to fade into the background while interesting enough to keep me from getting bored.
everything you have made is an absolute banger. you are a massively underappreciated artist, and i'm so glad you're still out here kickin it. love what you do man
would you consider doing a tutorial or writing something about how you do, or at least what you think about when doing, your visualizers? i love them a lot and have recently branched out from audio to visual media myself, so that would help me a lot!
@@Sevish honestly like, i'm curious if there's any connections you draw between your mindset when composing the music, and when assembling the visualizer?
I seriously miss when so many games had music along these lines and so much more... I'm not asking for Jungle in the next immersive cinematic experience or whatever, but I miss when there were so many games that where stylish in every way. Mid 90's and early 2000's were the high point for this phenomenon if my memory is roughly correct, it felt like there was more balance back then. When I hear a game get even just slightly groovy nowadays it stands out to me, and it really shouldn't
this is SUCH a cool sounding quote and I don't even understand it. I can't find any results for it online. you made this. that's amazing. I really want to know what it means, please, enlighten me.
@@TheGamblermusic Well I'm working on an ambient thing at the moment which could be played live - meditative, ~40 minutes long, all one take. But in terms of this stuff with the beats and everything going off, I think it would need a band!
@@TheGamblermusic I also really like that last sentence. It's all gotta start from somewhere, ya know? I'm 28 years old and this is the first time I've ever really dived into microtonal music. . but holy shit am I intrigued lol.
btw, I'm serious, why does this version sound like a 128KB/s version of your full album? I don't have the greatest of hifi installations, but there is a noticeable difference between the two streams. Would take 56kbps Seavish over superaudio-surround Taylor Swift any day of the year, don't get me wrong. Bought the album on Bandcamp anyways, buy when I'm on youtube with friends, and Sevish shows up, I don't want to have to openn up an entire directory of Sevish mp3s. Just saying, still love the work. scrap that, I don't love it. I almost worship it.
@@Sevish it's 99% youtube cropping audio. But if a quote/unquote "fan" of yours with a stereo maybe slightly above the average household stereo (and with quite some tinnitus to boot) can pick up the difference between on the one hand your bandcamp FLAC download of just spotify account, and on the other hand this youtube quality, then my guess is that YT is seriously throttling down the audio quality. I might actually not be far off with the 128kb/s estimate. Again, not blaming you, I'm even applauding YT for recommending your music to me, I would't have known about your music otherwise. But it just doesn't seem to me that it is in YT's best interest that when I want to showcase some Sevish music to other people while we are in a YT music sharing session, that I have to switch over to other forms of media (i.e. spotify or flac audio). It defies the whole point of their businessmodel. Yes, one gets pointed to new artists that are to the likes of their consumers... but what if those consumers want to listen to that music. Why would they want them to go to spotify or bandcamp? Only because there is a 1080p clip attached? The clip is great, don't get me wrong. It's esthetically pleasing, and functional at the same time. But I would rather have a YT clip with 320kb sound and no clip, than a 1080p clip with 128kb sound. The christmas present I could never have would be a 4k clip with flac sound, but apparently not many people in the world have unlimited bandwith yet. Again, it is 99.9% not your fault, just YT trying to keep their bandwith down. I'll keep listening even when they bring the audio datarate down to 56kbps, like in the 90s.

if you don't mind, what's the tuning? edit: internet randos, if you don't know what scale this piece is tuned to, no need to mansplain just intonation to me - just don't say anything!
@@NummyGD that's like saying it was tuned "in an equal step tuning," it tells me almost nothing, which is why i made a comment to ask after reading the description.
@@cellularautomaton. Oftentimes Just Intonation compositions don't have a more specific category to be crammed into, and that's okay. Just Intonation means all of the intervals used are pure intervals. That means there could be potentially infinite notes, so the most restrictive category it could be crammed into would be 7-limit or 11-limit or whatever this song happens to be... and even that categorization doesn't work out unless the composer intentionally restricted themselves in that way.
You could search for Wikipedia's "list of 5-limit intervals", for example, and pull out the ones they call "just major 2nd", "just minor 3rd", "perfect 4th" etc, as your octave, and that's the scale I'm assuming he used. There are the other 5-limit intervals listed, with their various names, but you can tell which are the standardized ones, and which intervals have alternatives that are ALMOST as simple harmonic ratios. If Sevish doesn't clarify, and if no-one gets forensic about it, then I'd assume it's that standard 12 note 5-limit octave?
Love Sevish, but IMO, all instruments can be done elecronically with no significant loss, with the single exception of drums. It is impossible for a programmed drum-beat to live, because the life in in the ebb and flow of the micro-adjustments a human drummer makes in the rhythm as the music impresses itself upon the human's ears.
I don't understand... you said, "Love Sevish, but..." and then described exactly what he did? All sounds are electronic, except for the drums, which are played live, sampled, and chopped. As far as I can tell, the process you described is exactly what this is.
@@GizzyDillespee These drums are not sampled and chopped. They are purely electronic. If they are sampled, the samples are one-hit wide. I can't listen to it, because the intervals are dead, otherwise a great composition.
@@johncasey9544 It's popular among people too young to notice that the drums are dead. I have played drums (not well), not long, but long enough to notice the difference between human drumming and machine drumming, and after that, I can no longer listen to machines. I also play guitar (badly), but I have no problem with auto-guitar or player-piano for that matter. Just drums. Because the whole point of drumming is the subtle dynamics, the playing with the time, even when you feel that the beat is a perfect groove, it's not mathematically perfect in its time division, it's aesthetically perfect.
imagine some mad scientist sitting and programming each one of those drum hits
Are you implying Sevish isn't aiming towards the best kind of global pandemonium? I give it 3 years
You should hear So Thankful, holy moly the drum programming is insane
Oh lord are we getting an entire dnb/jungle album? Really to spend some DOLLAROONIS
been listening to this on a loop. glorious
BR?

Hey thanks for replying! My AP US History class was actually a few years ago, but I’m happy to report that I got a 5 on the exam. All thanks to you 🫶
Sevish jungle let's gooooo
1:16 this fill is LEGENDARY
Omg I love drum break and some major 6ths sounding in the background
everything you have made is an absolute banger. you are a massively underappreciated artist, and i'm so glad you're still out here kickin it. love what you do man
Damn wasn't expecting jungle, lovin this tho!
This gives me one of those emotions where I can't really put into words
would you consider doing a tutorial or writing something about how you do, or at least what you think about when doing, your visualizers? i love them a lot and have recently branched out from audio to visual media myself, so that would help me a lot!
Leaving a . Here for this
Thanks Ian. I'm not sure what I would talk about but I'll consider it.
@@Sevish yes please haha im especially interested in how you make the fractals images
@@Sevish honestly like, i'm curious if there's any connections you draw between your mindset when composing the music, and when assembling the visualizer?
banger
I am reminded of the beach!
Almost sounds like something from the Bomberman Hero OST.
Bruh we're on the same wavelength
Yesss
That’s because they use the same drums as this track
that's because they're both jungle or at least a similar genre
I seriously miss when so many games had music along these lines and so much more...

that broken amen break 👍🏻
Yeahh, I love this one
Nice visuals too, simple yet fascinating
Found, subbed, loved.
sick as
I love the use of bells in this
Microtonal Jungle? Yes, please!
I've missed some good surreal jungle.
Hell yeah, Glad to hear from you again ! Love from france.
This is a vibe :)
Im a sucker for amen breaks and it fits so goshdarn well with microtonals
this vizualization is actually pretty cute
The best of both worlds. Amazing track as usual :)
This is my favorite song from you, you earned a sub!
Big thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I wonder what they're like, this Sevish person... As I love so much this Sevish music
Love it!
Reminds me a lot of both Xploding Plastix and Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band.
they all
Dropping this at the next outdoor I play at this year, proper good vibes this
Have a good time mate. I hope they will like it!
I love your jungle music
incredible
Love the more chopped up breaks
You are amazing, I love your music. This album inspired me to finish my jungle album.
JUNGLIST ERA
Absolute banger
This is truly great
Damn is that the amen break
Amazing track! Love the drums.
Some lovely sounds in this one (:
your biggest fan is back! love this alot!
Big thanks, glad you like this one!
This is seriously good.
YES this is the one with the xen jazz tuning, right? (14:15:17:19:21 repeating iirc)
Also, where are the glitchy sampled vocals from?
Yep I think it was 14:15:17:19:21 repeating. The vocals are a bit of an easter egg
How do you make the visuals? ((Also you're on a win streak, every drop is somethin great.))
Alright you circle pusher let's have some squares
this is SUCH a cool sounding quote and I don't even understand it. I can't find any results for it online. you made this. that's amazing. I really want to know what it means, please, enlighten me.
A sly reference to Squarepusher
I agree.
That was sweet. Hah you should call it "Just Jungle"
ooo dirty
I wanna see the day when you release 2736 tonal dnb and the day will be momentous
How did you make the animation?
This one was using Astrofox
Do you have a liveset ? can you mix ? can you be booked ?
Unfortunately I don't do shows
