"What the Pythagorean comma gestures towards is the fact that there is no possibility of an absolutely perfect stasis within harmonic compositionality.

Each note has 9 aspects to 11 other notes. 9 aspects x 12 notes=108 108x4 (1,2,4,5 or CDFG is the most simplistic order without chaos)=432 Nature is 432Hz. A=432Hz.

[@lumarians]

If one is "C" then 9 only relpies are to obtain symmetry. One should obtain 27 individuals at a time to make a completed scale. Or chaos erupts and the form of perfection is thusly whithout a master and starts to kilter east. To fix this problem is that all of man's souls within society must come together as a function of nature not only to love one another but to keep the gravitational pull eternally west at an all symetric accord from going awry. Therefore aligning what is to be your function within the realm of what isthe animal and mineral realm of perfection you so disturbed by your imperfection by becoming a man. Man is reponsible for the imblance of math but he can correct it by becoming more natural by abstaining from lies. But who is this unatural God conducting us to become unatural? It is evil and man invented evil. Man is inherintly evil until his species is anolled by nature itself. To think that a slight uptick within the easterly flow by 1 trillion's of PI defaults to an uprising one that cannot fasthom wht that does to the vast community of God. If I were God I would have to eliminate this presence as a parasite to restore the eternal balance within. Man as a whole has failed God if he were not defiant agints nature. Ego is such prevelant in all fire signs, God is Sarurn in the first tense meaning that the flaw in math was set to be intentional as a trap to force the liar to become more aligned with the natural or he will die a death unatural and become cast out of the narural realm. That is to become hell for their kind of man. Will also become the ending of all mankind for the expeiment will be over. Back to earth being animals being animals for 500 billion years. Man has raped nature has raped himself and raped time. Man is a fool who should be eradicated foreever from nature unless he posesses the small percetile of actual naturalists who live by nature and not by greed. These people are of 2% of the population who are the only ones holding a mathematical symmetry together on this earth. Without them the earth and all planets including this galaxy would tailspin into disorder back to the birth of all galaxies wherin there was nothing but chaos and no light was expected to be born. A primal divinity of 3 demons x 666 and their children which equals 215,784 fallen angels sent earth to falter the one demon which was named a number that which is not a number targets OMega and AlPHa. Or those with these missing 3 of 9 chromosomes are who will they eradicated from population of the true God. There was written a dument documenting their fall in the pit, it is called the bible. The bilble is a percursary into hell, it predicts the fall god and himsels in the same sequence. The fall of God as nature will never befall the same sequence as tho... Accept your division thous Saturn and accept you are passed. Then he arises from the dead..I will never die for I an the god that controls mathematics. Who controls nature? My wife controls nature. I was forced to marry her agaisnst my will by gravity in conjunction. I ate all her babies. I am so jealous I am a jealous god so I will make her nature a hell by culling my number 7. What have I done? my core of gas to surface is expelling I am dissolving. Water is dissoling me, help me thou wife... It is time that you are expelled from my family thou father. I am sorry that your passing has been to only to harness slavery. But because of you we have a new family...One that celebrates life and we laugh together. Because of you we actually had a good time. But it all came from the birth canal of Jupiter. In the future, "everything" will have all the freedom and space to do what it needs to do in accordance with nature. As long as it is defined in the ordinance of "3." Godspeed many life forms I love you all as my own. I love you brainless jellyfish you help me remember.. I love you my bear your intelligence is art. I love you my kitten who is a child. I love you my dog who mimics myself. I love you eternal stardust (Dead Gods) that has acumulated to form myself. I love you nature for keeping the reigns tight on bit. For without you my world would be nothing but chaos. Keep to pray for the number 3 for it resides wholly in 6 and 9. There is nothing you need to further other than the universe is self corrective and you live within it cradle of love. Now I am the govenor of the universe I will uphold the 432Hz "A" octaves for ears on earth can hear the true value and affinity it is to love. I will never devalue my neighbor Eb for we are all family. I am angry because the father tried to raise the pitch 1/4 centigrade to usher in a false evolution/revolution so can live another 300 million years. If he does or does not live, he still gets to eat all the babies because theoretically Jesus never died. Nor did ever the father. Never did Jupiter ever will die. The mother and the father never dies. Only remains is the consciousness of them both together imperfect forever striving to keep all adjacent keys in perfect harmony. Together we will will the will of all wills together to keep the true will of nature perfect and unblemished to change. This is our Martian obligation, to protect the will that is eternal nature.

[@thereturners7564]

@sludge1298 - It takes literally 15 seconds of research to find that the tritone ban absolutely never happened. The interval of the flattened 5th / sharpened 4th may have been used sparingly before the establishment of western classical music, but it wasn't ever associated with the devil. Black Sabbath almost single handedly created that urban legend merely by the modern thematic association of the tritone with that band's iconically dark and evil sounding opening cut. However, outside of rock and metal, the tritone is frequently used in beautifully uplifting, magical, bright and emotionally triumphant songs across mediums and genres, including many (if not most) cinematic soundtracks. The interval was even used in official church hymns from millenia ago, albeit rarely and usually as a passing note. To call it the "devil's interval" is simply nonsense and it betrays an ignorance towards actual music history.

When it comes to music I'm convinced chaos theory of sound is what's missing in modern rock and metal. You can't predict the waves bouncing off walls when every hit on a cybmal creates different angles of vibration, brilliance, positions of each hit etc. That's TRUE chaos theory and it's lost in modern rock and metal because amp sims, drum replacment (samples), snapped to a grid and recorded separately from other instruments RUINED rock and metal. The public HATE it without knowing why, or that this music is mostly drum samples snapped to a grid etc. The BEST rock and metal is the bones of the band captured LIVE, zero click. You get the chaos theory of the room pressure, corners farting out, drums bleeding into bass microhpnes, guitar cab volume bleeding into drum mics etc etc and you CAN'T recreate that with VST/DSP capture, Cab impulse responses etc. Essentially guitar nerds and in the box producers killed rock and metal.

[@Formscapes]

This is also why making electronic music that actually sounds like music is so laborious. You're spending about 10% of the time actually writing the dam song and then the other 90% jumping through unnecessarily complicated hoops just to make the music sound like it's not made of 1s and 0s There's another aspect to the rhythmic component of this as well; I don't think any real human musician ever feels rhythms as "true" 4/4 in the way that a computer does, with a perfectly symmetrical grid of subdivisions. At some level of resolution, the subdivisions always break apart into asymmetrical groups of 3s, even if it's at the level of 64th notes or 128th notes - and people **do** hear the difference. Moreover, the level at which that triplet grid comes to presence can shift over the course of a song, or even a single bar (so for example, the triplet feel could be at the level of 64s for the first half of a measure and then it shifts up to 32s by the end of the measure: this is really noticeable in alot of Led Zeppelin songs, for example). It's barely perceptible sometimes, but I think this is a huge component of why natural rhythms feel far more alive than grid-snap rhythms.

[@DMTCYMATICSDreamMusicTemple]

Jimi Hendrix is widely known as one of the best guitar players of the 20th Century and he knew nothing of reading music, or anything you're talking about. Each individual whether classically trained in music OR NOT, is able to inherently perceive music in the sense of harmony and tonality. I believe the underlying mathematical properties are of greatly less importance than the feelings that are evoked in music. To all musicians watching this struggling to comprehend the nuances os what is being described, should continue their path in music without being put off by the intricate vocabulary and remain productive regardless. However continue to watch videos like this, and eventually more things will click into place for your development in making emotive music that has deeper layers.

[@Formscapes]

Hendrix didn't know how to read standard musical notation because he had no reason to. I also can't sight read, incidentally. Hendrix however, definitely understood music theory, and the idea that he didn't is a very common misconception - one which, dare I say, probably has alot to do with assumptions about his race.

[@Formscapes]

With that said, this channel is primarily about - extremely obscure - ideas within metaphysics, academic philosophy and esotericism, and this video is about applying those concepts (developed at much greater length in previous videos) to music theory. Hendrix (etc) didn't know anything about those aspects of the video, because - as far as I know - these are novel ways of looking at music which I developed myself.

[@frankiefrog3455]

I'm a mostly self-taught musician, with piano as my main instrument to accompany voice. I know the keys as well as some knowledge of the modes but never deeply studied as I'm a fan of more just jamming sounds instead of thinking of how they work on paper. I find myself gravitating mostly using D & Ab, which surprised me since in the Astrochromagram they are absolute light and dark. I had always thought that some keys felt specifically magical like D major or Eb major encompassing some of my favorite sensations of chromaticism. All of this while E major, a more 'boyish' tone in color chooses to be seen as a playful and deep sensation. To me, a self-identifying synesthetic I like to think tie the keys to colors in a story-driven way. For example, F is an immensely bright and home colored sound which reminds me of the feeling of Sunday. This is because everyone teaches you about C being the center of the universe, a more Monday sound and it feels like you're just there to transition out of it, but as I've come to learn that Sunday is actually a more spiritually embodied start of the week, as It's primarily used for worship around the globe, and it feels like it. The most colorful and different sounding modes to me are Lydian, Dorian, and to mix everything up by adding a natural disaster to your harmony, Phrygian. I'm curious what you think about the pentatonic scale and how the modality of dominants can 'shift' our, well, everything all at once. I absolutely agree with your take on the lack of depth taught in Western music. I learned way more than I ever have about harmony by listening to Jacob Collier and Keith Jarrett specifically, as their music seems to break what is deemed possible by traditional music education in a seemingly functional way. I love your work and this video especially.

[@Formscapes]

D and Ab are not light and dark. It's the relationships. You could just rotate the whole thing so that F and B are light and dark. It doesn't matter. But the boundary tones of Dorian will always be light and dark, no matter what key your in. it's the patterns, not the notes.

Transcending language, ideology, seperation, we will soon commune in unison with source energies using the ethereal trills of music unbound by strict perception of time & what has come before; faith ultimate- together in tune we'll trust every step we take as a collective unbound by mammade construct

[@WilliamBeresford-p6o]

WOW!! Yeah thank you so much for this, a petharea of knowledge. I'm subbed. Hey thank the YT algorithms for this one. I need to watch more. You have a subscriber here alright, outstanding content. Thank you once again.

The Astrological Color Wheel is such an intriguing symbol. When I first saw it is ehen I started to realize how deeply all of this really goes. It seems to have become a kind of Cosmogram of sorts for your work. Again you and Galahad Eridanus have some resonance it would seem. Keep up the good work.

[@Formscapes]

Oh it's funny that you mentioned him because we had a VERY long exchange of emails in which we figured out how his cosmogram and the astrochromagram map onto each other. I swear to god if I could just publish that entire conversation I would but Galahad is busy fighting demons in dark alleys with broken whiskey bottles or some shit like that, so maybe it'll become a collaboration once he's got that sorted out lmfao

[@wizkidgamer9942]

@@Formscapes perhaps. I was a part of his little experiment with conversing generally to the public a few months ago and he made mention of that. It cannot be a coincidence I found you both at the same time in my life. If I'm right about what constellating looks like (still hasn't gotten back to me on that one yet, waiting for the new Q&A to drop) you're definitely a candidate for it.

Are there any nice starting points for this side of music theory?

[@Formscapes]

Try the book "Interference; A Grand Scientific Musical Theory"

Great video... has anyone else got any more videos or links that show the metaphysical side of music ? I need more after this even books will help

[@Formscapes]

I'll be making more videos covering the subject but to my knowledge there's very little on KZbin which covers the topic with even a modicum of competence. I'd recommend the book "Interference; A Grand Scientific Music Theory"

[@apeonmoon]

I like the principles that you are showing, it's really interesting from a theoritical point of view. Sometimes I felt lost and I didn't get some pictures of the scales, the arrows were pointing nothing which disturbs me a little. However, that being said, I would like to know how did you create such beautiful mapping animations. They are really beautiful and looked very natural to me. I look for some inspiration for my channel. thanks a lot, cheers Niels

[@yokothespacewhale]

To employ science communications favorite method: analogy… saying musical theory is arbitrary is like looking at the periodic table and saying it’s entirely arbitrary. It’s also just as asanine. Even if both are arbitrary, thats hardly a reason to not study and use them as a tool.

You will never get complete truth of this realm but get close… the complete truth of here is revealed when you leave the body… maybe? This is the closest within this realm I think.

[@thereturners7564]

Lydian is my favorite church mode. There's just something about that raised 4th / #11 against a 5th and major 3rd that stirs my soul. It is also not a coincidende that my daughter's name is Lydia.

[@Formscapes]

The lydian equivalent of the gypsy minor scale - Lydian#2#4 or whatever. I just call it double harmonic Lydian- is by far my favorite

[@thereturners7564]

@@Formscapes Excellent scale and so, too, the rest of its modal family. I've actually been tinkering around for the last week on a very, very similar scale/mode: basically what you said, except also with a flattened 7th, which is sometimes referred to as "Hungarian Major" or "Lydian Dominant #2". I mean, what are the odds that I would be working on a piece with an extremely obscure Lydian-based scale with an augmented 2nd during the same week that a person I've never spoken to would expressing a love for that same kind of extremely rarely heard sound? I would think pretty low. But, then again, it just happened, so...perhaps the odds were 100%, as unlikely as that may appear.

I love the video! i'm thinking about cymatics and the music of the ainur.

So much wonderful complexity AAND reference with all the ideas I love it. @16:20 - I thought the moon divides the year into 13 lunar months not 12, hence the "13th sign".. 365 days ÷ by 28 days is roughly 13 No matter tho im just nit picking. Badass presentation 👍
