yay!

[@cesgram]

I like how we tend to associate the abstractness of art, like this musical experience, with things we "know better", based in the sensation of security that our past experiences brings to us, like the sounds of nature phenomena or the stereotypes of what music should sound like.

[@wasabihansen]

Not as hard as Nancarrow pieces. But Cage's 4'33 has to be the hardest of all!

[@h.tahoori]

My favorite part is when Metronome I section plays the Cantus firmus & the Metronome II section plays the Counterpoint.

[@mareaumusic]

I´m traumatized. NEver will use my metronome again.

[@eurodealing]

Fantastic! I like specially the Theme B in the development .

[@jg-reis]

This might be more interesting if the metronomes could be set in a semicircle around a single listener, arranged with the slower ones to the left, progressing to faster on the right, so that the listener could distinguish the different ticks coming from different places. I’d sit for such a hearing, if it took under five minutes. - Another Q: has anyone tried water drops at different speeds, over different surfaces (metal etc.)? You could vary the amount of water by electronically controlling the taps. Might sound nice.

[@logonazo]

you're making a new composition then... ;)

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

Idk,I'm finding it pretty intresting sofar.

[@diallobanks1827]

beautiful compelling and moves my heart like the wind moves the seas into waves of sentimental washes of the great counterpoint of 100 metronomes!

[@jcgosselin]

From my point of view, this piece raise many questions like : what is music ? what is art ? Can a music instrument produce something else than music ? Is it always art ? What is a music instrument (a metronome ?) ? This piece has been written/organized by a music composer, is it sufficient to call it music ? My feeling is that this piece is art for sure. It is connected to death, maybe to the death of the universe. It is like a sound sculpture but I am not sure whether it is music or not.

[@TempodiPiano]

C'est l'équivalent des installations contemporaines. L'interrogation sur l'art concerne plutôt les musiciens élevés au métronome.

[@ramiro_echeverria]

what is even music? If music is organized sound is this music?

[@NorthTexasEagle1989]

What are questions? No seriously though art is the bullshit you add to time and space. The meaning is the meaning. That's why you are never wrong in an interpretation and never right either. It's all bullshit

[@jcgosselin]

@@NorthTexasEagle1989 Asking questions is important at least from a human perspective. So art as a way to raise good questions is important too... at least from a human perspective!

[@robertocaesar]

This is not a weird but a clever rythmic excercise of composition. The maestro Ligeti bound himself to choose in detail every frequency for every Metronome thus creating one unique texture based on chaotic behavior, since obviously every metronome can't have an exact frequency, hence this uncertainty in the correlation of frequencys due to the mechanics of the apparatus, is what relates design and chaos. And all together with the sense of mechanical extinction.

[@lHenry97]

Not sure if you're trolling but the only instruction Ligeti gives is "At a sign from the conductor the players wind up the metronomes. Following this, the speeds of the pendulums are set: within each group they must be different for each instrument." With group he means 10 metronomes and 1 performer. And I think this was meant as kind of a joke, although I really think it's a neat idea.

[@ramiro_echeverria]

This is like a grey area between shitpost meme music and an interesting musical and philosophical question about what is art

[@robertocaesar]

@@ramiro_echeverria For a set of sounds articulated in time to be art it has to have design in it, and it must convey intelligence. If both conditions are met, the sounds spread in time-space may carry the message which art is all about. Art is a form of comunicating something beyond the standard language of words.

[@ramiro_echeverria]

Even if it's not art because of that definition, I still like it :D

"What is the point", some ask? What is the point of listening to the rain fall, or to the spin cycle of a washing machine.? Hearing pattern emerge out of apparent randomness and chaos.... is this really not interesting to you? I love how the "last metronome standing" goes on "beating" silently. And the irony of the title..... very sly.

[@TheBoinaman1]

What's the point of listening to the rain fall? Rain evokes a landscape, a day in life, melancholia, smell of wet grass... Metronomes evokes... ehm... metronomes. In fact, rain itself it's not music either. It's nice, but it's properly music only when you add it to a composition. Thus, musical work (with the sound of rain, or not) replaces your vision of the landscape, sensation of being below rain, etc. So, you can imagine what I think about "music" of metronomes (only noise, and not evocative noise).

[@RenegadeShepard69]

@@TheBoinaman1 I think I relate to your comment here most then others. It would be a lot more interesting if these metronomes were used with other equipment to create, they would be put in a context where I think they could be a percussive instrument, but here they are just silly. This piece is nowhere near as clever as some people here like to think, in my opinion. It's just gimmicky that's all.

[@jamesrogers47]

Change this from using metronomes to using 100 to 1000 different tone generators. Each tone generator programed to move randomly up and down a range of frequencies, playing each tone for a random period of time, with each tone generator shutting itself off at randomly selected intervals until only one pure tone remains. It would be a cacophony of sound, yet within the chaos would be delicate islands of order, wherein the myriad oscillations would at times cancel and reenforce each other.

[@Alcatus]

This is beautiful. Each sound serves it's own purpose. The seemingly infinite complexity of it all is astounding. All you can do is observe and listen in wonder. It's like listening to a geiger counter ticking. There is something indescribable that makes us find the beauty in nearly anything.

Incredible Interpretation

[@yuukutsai8898]

[@lsbrother85]

With just 2 metronomes set at different rates you have an interesting effect as their clicks co-incide, then drift apart and then merge again. And with just a few instruments this effect can be enhanced in a complex way. But starting with a 100 meant this effect was just drowned out and not until most had died out did it become at all of interest to my mind.

[@h4wklord]

***** Ligeti was a dreamer. he knew that the human ear could not hear what he composed. is that a reason to not compose or perform music, no. we have heard and understand many beautiful pieces of music, but to see a piece of music on paper, yet not hear it when played through a rube goldberg apparatus is astounding

[@lsbrother85]

Kelly Henderson "the human ear could not hear what he composed. is that a reason to not compose or perform music" - Yes, it's a very good reason!

[@lsbrother85]

Carlo Candelora 'polyrhythms' in English

[@saleplains]

lsbrother not so much polyrhythms as it is phasing and phase music. interesting subset

[@thomasrajna5695]

Long before I came across this piece I used to amuse myself with just setting two metronomes up with identical speed. Against all expectations metronomes do not keep perfect time and after 10 -15 clicks they start going out of phase with each other, the discrepancy increasing until they merge together again and the process can go on repeating ad infinitum. This is not chaos but an infinitely subtle time pattern to which I could listen with awed pleasure. This is exactly what happens in Ligeti's "Symphonic Poem" in the last 30 odd seconds. The other 7 minutes are not essential listening. Incidentally the dwindling of an orchestra from full complement to a single player who gets up and departs at the end of the piece was used by Haydn in his Farewell Symphony with great charm and wit. Is there nothing new under the sun?

[@asaroalexis]

guau! sin palabras

[@MusicaRicercata]

I have reservations concerning this piece, but the juxtaposition of multiple layers of tempi is an extraordinary subject to research. One should not forget that Ligeti was very enamored by the music of Nancarrow (a man well known for his experiments in temporal layering), and the influence of Nancarrow on his music is decidedly strong, especially in the Piano Concerto.

[@bombergal1]

[@kevinmitchell8650]

Great piece!!! Struck with equal force set in motion the timing of the metronome to predict the one that would have the last sound timed to the camera person’s focus. IMO.

[@GreatWonderMoose]

I have no idea how this is so cool.

[@MusicaRicercata]

@406jaciace I would disagree. The majority of his early works with few exception demonstrate an exemplary sensibilities. Listen to Gruppen, Carré, Kontakte, or Momente: very fine works written by a man who had done wonders with the serial method. Many of his later works are rather arid (the Licht-era works are mostly guilty of this), but are nonetheless worthy of research. Unsichtbäre Chöre, Samstags-Abschied, Examen, and Hoch-Zeiten are but a few of some of his best late works.

[@jsymons1985]

I liked the part with the metronome

[@louthewatcher]

not only CAge's 4'33. but it is very similar to what Charles Ives did in his Symph. No. 5 called the "Universe Symphony" in which he used specified objects such as a very long gong to be stuck every 1 minute while a based drum is hit every half minute, and other instruments up til the unit of 33. So that 33 instuments would play the number of times that they are assigned so you have many different senses of space and time within the piece. ligeti does this with metronomes. I like it.
