      @stephenbeck7222@stephenbeck72223 ай бұрын

    • overtone vs undertone series is the idea at the heart of the whole negative harmony thing Jacob's famous for, aka harmonic dualism. but it's worth pointing out there's also the harmonic mononist school of thought who believe only the major triad exists and all other chords are some sort of alteration of that model

      @factzilla1868@factzilla18683 ай бұрын

    • Major is 4:5:6, minor is basically 1/6:1/5:1/4. These frequency ratios also exist in the overtone series as 10:12:15, but higher and not as direct neighbours, so I prefer to see it as part of the undertone series.

    • He's under-informed! Here are the overtones of a C fundamental: C C G C E G Bb C D E F#(but a bit flat) G Note the G Bb and D, which make a minor chord of Gmin. A great example of this is the slow movement of Vaughan Williams' 3rd Symphony, when played on a natural trumpet. It sounds quite mournful, as it leans on those minor overtones.

  • Been following Jacob since he was 16. There isn't a single person on earth with a greater natural understanding of music and harmony to the point of people wondering if he is even human because he is so talented :) Despite the depth of his knowledge, he has a great gift of being a musical educator. He can make difficult things sound understandable. All of the people I aspired to being when I was young were on a pedestal but Jacob makes music accessible to everyone on their own level. Such a rare talent.

  • The pitch circuit in a theremin consists of two oscillators, one fixed and one variable. The variable one is changed by altering a capacitor's charge with your hand (the hand becomes a capacitor plate, in effect). The pitch played through the speaker is the difference between the frequencies of the two oscillators, which have been designed to create audible tones.

      @Bobbias@Bobbias3 ай бұрын

    • Interesting, i didnt know that. That must mean the variable oscillators resonant frequency is not only determined by the distance of the hand but also by the area? So at the same distance the full hand will produce a higher frequency than a finger? At first i thought it was the other way around since low distance/big area = higher capacitance = lower resonance, but the output is the other way around. I guess that has to do with the output being the difference between fixed and variable osc and not just the variable osc itself. Please correct me if im wrong, this is fascinating!

  • It's cool that he doesn't always give a literal explanation for some things, it's not how I would explain it I'm a very literal person but i guess that keeps it fun for him and everyone else. we also all have our own ways we approach music and our own way of seeing it so we all think about different musical ideas differently which is super cool

  • I've been a musician since my elementary school. I play a few instruments and understand the roles of most others. I can hear nuanced differences in the depths of a song's composition. I appreciate subtle base line changes and modifying the place of different instruments in the mix for emotional or narrative effect. I fancy myself a bit of a music nerd. I don't know who this dude is, but he has made me feel simultaneously astounded and woefully inferior all in the same moment. I thought I was fluent in music. Turns out, this guy is fluent and I can basically only order a beer and ask where the bathroom is.

  • when i was younger i couldn't hear the bass. it was around the time I was learning to play the guitar. As i expanded my music taste and played more I would hear it but barely. It wasn't until I played in a band when I could HEAR IT. More so the lack thereof. We didn't have a bassist for our first three weeks. Enter the bassist. What a difference. Since then I could hear the bass every time.
