Making a 1000 Note Chord That Actually Sounds Good

[@acrouzet]

Yeah, definitely an underappreciated channel here!

So much info packed into this one. Loved it! It's not every day you get to hear something as novel as the outro reharmonization. What a treat.

[@armandogiordano1226]

I think he deserves at least 100K.

[@core3gamegd587]

FOR REAL

[@carteretheridge7531]

That was EPIC and that ending was absolutely awesome. Huge congrats, Levi! I can’t wait to see your channel thrive! 🙌🏻

You'll make 10,000 subs in no time with videos like this. Really enjoyed your last one, too, since I'm working on a project about visualizing music.

The motherchord is cool in its own way, and so is the superultramegametalydian chord of Jacob Collier. But neither of them are even close to the most consonent way to combine all 12-edo notes into one chord. I'd argue the most stable arrangement is to lean heavily into the most consonant interval in 12-edo other than the octave - the fifth. By stacking 11 consecutive fifths, we get a rather pleasing structure, where each note is supported by strong shared overtones with both of its two nearest neighbors.

You did a stellar job with this. Extremely large-number chords have very peculiar features. I personally enjoy the feeling of not being able to identify all the notes in it quickly - and with the synths in your chords, I feel like... when it fades out there's a cool ring that kind of re-contextualizes which notes are "salient" on my ears

[@djl1on641]

song at the end gave me blank banshee vibes a bit

[@conradthe2]

keep up the work and keep with the intriguing titles and high quality, solid content and you'll be over 10,000 and even 100,000 in no time; subscribed!

[@elementallobsterx]

It’s extremely unlikely, but if any of you guys have seen the indie game “Mother”, the mother chord at 9:15 sounds just like the scene transition sound from that game. Weird.

[@kevineaton2937]

may I pls just have an extended performance of your accompaniment?

[@sefatsilverlake3816]

That last song would fit perfectly on a cyriak video

[@KrispyDeRato]

THAT ENDING WAS SUCH A TREAT!!!

[@DrDestructoBlade]

Congratulations on 1k dude! Last time I checked you were at 430

[@LeviMcClain]

Thank you! We are getting there slowly, but surely!

[@dohnjoe735]

Can't wait for the 100k video 🤪

[@ArsalanMark]

you attract the tribe with your vibe and we are the tribe of neglected tunes.

[@cheesiesticks]

as soon as you mentioned the "12 tone system" my face lit up knowing exactly what was coming

11:28 THATS LITERALLY WHAT MY ONE PIANO NOTE G#2 SOUNDS LIKE

[@dohnjoe735]

It may be bc a piano note has two or three strings, so if one gets untuned by a small amount, then it can sound a bit dissonant

[@nocliiping]

This channel is incredible !

[@greatcesari]

This channel is going to grow. It’s a mix of edutainment and quality editing.

[@WeirdSide]

thats a lot of metronomes

[@friendlyrusset]

you look like the perfect inbetween of charles cornell and adam neely

[@elementallobsterx]

lol yeah😂

[@nikhilt9671]

fantastic video, hope to see more from you!

[@NMIC374]

WOW. your play out...... AWESOME. im so happy i just found your content!

[@SnetremAip]

Your videos are just the best!

[@elrondhubbard9127]

Wow, that ending was sick. Subscribed!

[@Prof_Granpuff]

This was a fantastic video. There were parts of your performance at the end that, weirdly enough, reminded me a bit of the Super Paper Mario soundtrack. Of course, this was much more musically intriguing. Cheers

[@edubasso]

Bro your content its too good

[@lilyofluck371]

already at 1.25k. this channel is good

[@johncasey9544]

how tf did you manage to make a song that sounds pretty good at the end out of that fuckin chord. serious talent in these videos man keep it up.

[@amynselema5609]

Cool! What are the accidentals? Please answer through a link to a picture.

[@godofspacetime333]

The payoff at the end is totally worth. Fucking heavy dude.

[@raultizze]

Awesome video ! Glad to find your channel! What about making a "perfect" 1000 note chord thinking in terms of approximation of just intonation ?

[@drikavel007]

I don't know, how in the world KZbin recommendations led me here, but this is interesting. I wonder how this cord would sound if recreated with sin synthesizer instead of piano sound.

[@oscargill423]

"Hearing complex disclaimer" _turns my volume way down thinking it's just a fancy way of saying RIP headphone users_

[@shredvansshredquarters]

Levi.....you fucking rule duder!

[@victorbalogh4706]

RAD BASS PLAYING BROTHER. O.K. I am a lover of microtonalism, and digging that i found your channel. i built chapman sticks in the eighties with emmet chapman and i always wanted to build a few in different subdivisiojns thinking it would be great if the frets were changeable like fitting them in a pegboard of a neck. do you remember a guy who made a guitar with changeable frets? i think it was in a turkish temperment, im not certain. i havent built said instruments (yet) i still may. anyways, love your chanel. now tell me something, the experemenation in microtonalism of then note structures are being pursued, is there anyone focusing on the rythymisation, microrythymiction? or does the western model already have that figured out by cupling, and polyrthyms. im afraid you will have to change the rythyms of the RADIOHEAD songs now ALSO.... GOOD LUCK....I BETTER GO NOW BEFORE I MAKE THE task of language also be changed.... to all sylabills increasing by one in each word of the lyrics reinterpeting. ah yes.... rick beato eat your heart out. we just took his " what makes this song great" skit and made it.... what makes this song a polyrythicizablkeizational mysanthrope of our time, with redacted poetry in mucho levels of excellence. thank you for letting my genius shine here briefly, if i had a nickle..... be well my friend, your friend in Craig Grady_VANDERFGRAFF_Overdrive,,,,,,,,victor

[@fredg999music]

Great video, both in content and presentation! I'll note that the formatting in the table at 2:14 seems a bit broken, the exponents in columns "RATIO" and "PRIME F." are not properly superscripted. Putting back the superscripts in the right places is left as an exercise to the reader! 😉

[@itisinickt]

i dont think it would be possible for a speaker to even play this chord in real life

[@stevenmayhew3944]

Would an anechoic chamber produce "black noise"?

[@cloudtaker633]

2:21 To me, 1 cent differences sound like FM synthesizers.

[@cloudtaker633]

1 cent differences together, that is

[@MuzikJunky]

Well, if you ever heard Tom Johnson’s “The Chord Catalogue,” you’d know that there are actually 8,178 chords in the Western 12-tone scale. Peace.

[@LeviMcClain]

Never heard of it! Thanks, I’ll look into it ✌️

[@aguaraguazu8461]

So epicccccc

[@EldenKellyMusic]

I especially loved the musical performance at the end! Is that available anywhere to purchase/stream? I would love to be able to listen. To that Keep up the great work 🤘🏼

[@emojijoyio]

If u change the tuning of the microtonal notes by 32 cents dose that mean it Will turn into 440 hz

[@laruedelarue8399]

The Impossible

[@LeviMcClain]

Hahaha I mean... you may or may not be right

[@snowm6472]

dude you need to be up there with neely fr ur great

[@gabimeredith1]

Awesome

[@tressel2489]

great video, a lot of food for thought and loved the music. thanks levi and keep it up!

[@Fire_Axus]

ya like jazz?

[@Hector-bj3ls]

Nothing like a little bit of casual racism with my music...

[@LeviMcClain]

Wait, where the racism at? 😬

[@dohnjoe735]

​@@LeviMcClainHe's talking about 13:07 . I'm undecided 🤔

[@LeviMcClain]

@@dohnjoe735 oh! Yes, the racism I’m making fun of.
