Some decades ago I worked in the same lab as Amelia Kaplan in Chicago (maybe she was finishing her doctorate at the time)? As far as I could figure out, while composing she was taking musical waveforms, Fourier transforming them, then deriving orchestral scores from the decompositions-consciously implementing additive synthesis with conventional instruments. But whatever the details of the method, the effect in performance was that you often felt you were hearing quite different instruments than the ones that you could see playing.

I find Ives' piece to have an excessively humanizing effect rather than technological. It's just like when you sing along to a song that's not in your range and you change from your lower vocal cords to falsetto vocal cords randomly in the middle of a line and vice versa. It's so remarkably similar that I can only believe that Charles Ives intended it that way. Anyway. Thank you, David, for providing so much entertaining and educational material and your profound thoughts on it! I can't wait to check out all the video links in the description.

The Ravel example was the reason I bought the score to Bolero cause I couldn't figure out what instruments were playing and I was so surprised to see that the celesta was playing with the horn and piccolo which gives it this soft metalic sheen.

The echo effect (nowadays achieved digitally) has a long long history in orchestral and choral music. Monteverdi's Vespers has several great examples (with one singer singing an echo to another). One of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (was it the 5th?) has an instrumental equivalent. Another recording-based effect is the fade out, and you've mentioned its orchestral precursors (Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, Holst's Planets) in another video.

Fascinating! Reminds me of some of the effects Jerry Goldsmith achieved in his score for the original Alien in 1979. One cue in particular ("It's a Droid") suggests electronic noises entirely with acoustic instruments, just before a character is shockingly revealed to be a robot. There are other examples, too, like "The Shaft" and "The Terrain" that suggest electronic drones and synthetic beds, also with traditional instruments.

I once did a looping improvisation, and then wrote it out for 10 identical instruments. It actually seems to be halfway popular with ensembles. Bolero: yeah, that's been my test for a good performance if they can get that doubling passage to sound seamless. Btw, I wouldn't call it EQ'ing: more additive synthesis.

I remember studying the orchestration of Bolero at the same time I was studying organ. It was obvious to me at the time that he was using, in that exact spot you pointed out, the same principal the organ uses when a rank of pipes will play, for example, a 6th(and two or three octaves) above the fundamental, or a 3rd and 5th, or a minor 7th. I forget now, which ranks play those types of harmonics, and there are more than what I mentioned, but that s definitely an organ thing.
@TomMilleyMusic6 жыл бұрын
What about natural chorus effect? Having instruments play together that are slightly out of tune with each other. I've done it only in recording, taking two acoustic guitars and tuning one slightly above pitch, and one slightly under. I was surprised how much like an effect it sounded. I got the idea from chorus effect obviously, but also tremolo harmonicas which have two reeds per each note, tuned slightly out of each other, which gives this nice warble and richness to it. Has this been done with an orchestra? Obviously there's already a slight bit of that just due to the small differences in each players performance, but I'm talking more deliberate and to sound like the chorus effect from guitar pedals or computer effects.
@cuccomposer6 жыл бұрын
It's actually the opposite: a chorus imitates the natural "detune" of a choir (hence the name), to give the impression of multiple voices in unison. In my opinion, not only it would be really hard to replicate an electric chorus with acoustic instrument, but even pointless: the beauty of natural chorus is that it's unpredictable, and therefore, much more lush. More "analog" than analog BBD chorus, dare I say.
@TomMilleyMusic6 жыл бұрын
Well yes true, but I guess I'm just asking if anyone has taken advantage of detuning on purpose, either above or under pitch to give it that warble on purpose. Usually in a choir or section of instruments they try to be in tune. I'm talking about being out of tune. Like sections of instruments with fixed tuning having some of them higher or lower than pitch and then playing in unison, things like that. I guess we get a bit of that sound when a string section plays with vibrato. I dunno, I just thought it might be cool to see how far people could push the idea of playing together slightly out of tune and how much they could make it warble.
@cuccomposer6 жыл бұрын
@@TomMilleyMusic Oh, I misunderstood your comment, I always think of chorus as a subtle effect. The way chorus actually works is slightly different than subtle detuning. It's a really short delay effect, with vibrato on the delayed signal. You'd have to ask two musicians to play the same part, one acts as the dry signal and the other as the wet signal. The wet musician (lol, better not say that) would have to play with somewhat like 20 ms of delay and use a wide vibrato.
@TomMilleyMusic6 жыл бұрын
Well I figured there'd be enough delay naturally from the small differences in each persons performance. And I figured you could have three people at least play a line, and then have two people double it, but one is lower than pitch and one is higher. You'd could even just have one on pitch and one off. That's how tremolo harmonicas work. They have two reeds per note and one is off pitch and it gives this nice natural warble that sounds almost like a chorus. That's the kind of sound I'm thinking of, but with other instruments playing together. I've done it with recording acoustic guitars, but it could be cool if maybe you purposely detuned some of the brass section or woodwinds so when they play together, they have this natural warble to them. Or if the strings players were good enough to play slightly out with the others. If they had good enough ears they could possibly be able to play with a small delay, but I don't know if it'd even be needed as the warble in this case would still happen due to the tuning difference. It's the warble of the notes clashing. Even with effects you can get a chorus types sound with just one channel with the dry signal, and one with vibrato on it. I guess that could be another way of doing it too: have half the players in a section use vibrato and the other don't.
@jorgepeterbarton5 жыл бұрын
i think the very digital warbling chorus you can get, would best be imitated by notating a wide vibrato, simply enough. I also think a string section probably has far too many players...you'd need about 8 lets say because you get something like 8-stage chorus (essentially 8 modulated delays set very fast little feedback). Whether it sounds the same, for some reason i don't think it will but not sure why. Mechanically maybe use something like vibraphones in unison? or microtonally detune some keyboard instruments (that's the other 'chorus' sound is simply detune the pitch using a pitchshifter, no delay or vibrato...you can hear some of that in this composer called Michael Harrison who tuned his piano with 27cent (?) intervals, and part of La Monte Young or microtonal composers using 'commas' of just intonation.@@TomMilleyMusic

What a brilliant video! I had this thought the first time I heard Ligeti's Atmospheres, that if I'd heard it without knowing it's an orchestra I would assume it's synthesized! But, I think there's an amendment to be made, that is, these effects are not digital per se, but electrical (not electronic). All the effects you mention (EQ/filtering, transposable VCOs, Ring Modulation, side-chaining, distortion) were introduced in the Analog Era and then replicated (and further developed) digitally/electronically.

Much in the same way a fancy formula may not prove particularly useful to 99% of people until the world has developed enough to find a way in which to use the BASTARD. Also, if anyone could help a poor autodidact out in making sense of Bartok's take on tonality, that'd be WELLIN.

Gerard Grisey did what is basically additive synthesis. 'partiels' is from analysed trombone notes, rearranged for a whole ensemble of non-trombones creating drone from each overtone. I guess organs are additive synthesisers to start off with, but the additive synths of today can arrange complex inharmonic sounds and create a whole complex sample from sine waves in high fidelity, which is more like partiels.

something I have noticed over the past 4-5 years is that young pop inspired singers, especially young women, do all of their singing with phrasing that sounds like vocal parts where recorded in a DAW a phrase at a time and quantized. But this is them doing their natural acoustic singing! It seems when a generation grows up enjoying music that sounds a certain way, the music they are unconsciously drawn to recreate that in their own music. We have heard this for a long time with acoustic instrument players like pianists, drummers or guitarists who have grown up on the electronic music of the 80's and 90's. But it's very interesting to now hear vocalists whose natural singing sounds like it came out of fruity loops.

Robert Fripp used the phrase loop technique with guitarists in the King Crimson song Frame by Frame. One guitar plays in 7/4 always starting the loop over at the beginning of each measure. The other guitarist is playing the same thing but missing one eighth note at the end of the loop. So they start in synch and then slowly drift apart before realigning and drifting apart again.

An early influence of recording technology on music is to be found in Bartok's composition, although I haven't found any source confirming it. Bela Bartok, who with Zoltan Kodaly, famously used early recording technology to field record Hungarian folk music, has passages in his music that seem obviously influenced by a familiarity with backwards masking. Retrograde has been part of Western musical compositional forever, but in Bartok, for instance in Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, passages intentionally seem to recreate the sound of acoustical passage played backwards.

A great example that partakes of Ives and Cage is Lukas Foss' GEOD for orchestra & chorus (1969) which emulates sampling and mixing. The orchestra is divided into 4 groups plus chorus, each with their own conductor, who simply indicates volume level; groups that are "turned down" continue to play their parts silently till "turned up" again. The chorus and a small group of soloists perform "straight" versions of folk tunes which are overlaid by aleatoric clusters & patterns from the rest of the orchestra (when they are audible, that is). Nearly impossible to find today but still, one of my favorites. A fairly bad KZbin of it is at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWjIi3WlbrZogLs

Something I have noticed just today when playing Chopin's Mazurka F major. In the middle section (Poco piu vivo) the player is instructed to hold the sustain pedal for almost 12 bars, which is unusual, or even in bad taste, but here it combines very well with the droning bass and the high, fiddle-like melodic line to create a very dreamy soundscape. Which made me realize - in this section Chopin was using the sustain pedal as a long reverb. Which made me realize that in piano pieces in general the sustain pedal is often used as or in a similar way to a reverb, even if it is not being held for 12 bars straight.

Technically, the "other EQ effect" in your sidechaining piece is also sidechaining. You can sidechain any gain-based device. The most common is a compressor, so that's what the shorthand term "sidechaining" usually means in conversation. But EQ, filters, and expanders are also candidates, and so are gates (such as the common "trance gate" technique in some EDM where the hi hat or some silent trigger causes the synth to turn off completely, resulting in a rhythmic stuttering effect).
