Andrei Cucu is a regular bII or is it a flat and a half dbII ? Wild regardless

[@i_cam]

Andrei Cucu I mean yea but to use the same kinda terminology I used in the op, the 2 steps in 22 tet is close to a half step 12tet, and 1 step 22 tet is close to a quarter step in 12 tet. If you think the bII chord feels flat, then it prob resolves down 1 step in 22 tet, so it would be dbII if you wanted to use a similar approximation like from above.

[@florida_sucks]

uhh you say that like there isn't tons of great microtonal music out there. super mid post

[@yoffdog2511]

@@florida_sucks There isn't a ton of great microtonal music. Mainly because when most people use microtonal, they use notes that sounds jarring or out of place too frequently. Very unharmonic sounds, while in Sevish's music, there tends to be more notes are are closer to the 12 TET that people are used to, with notes that are closer to half-sharps and half-flats are used more sparingly. In other words, when you hear an extremely microtonal beat in Sevish's music, it just sounds right, while in other music, sometimes microtonal has a chance to be excessive and ruin the music. Sevish and King Gizzard are the only two people I'm familiar with that make good-sounding microtonal, but I'm open to suggestions if you think you know more.

But also, to slightly modify some of the melodies to make it more suitable for that particular tuning.

[@bhoenix3213]

@Philip Parker But, I do really not like it when people comment things to make it out like the music is superior completely and utterly purely for it's use of microtones (or, at least, that's what it feels like sometimes, considering the tone of some comments).

This piece stands out, I think, because it really uses and abuses of the microtonal temperament without losing the concept of tension and release. Most microtonal music seems to try to sound as close as possible to 12-tone equal temperament, even though they can't sound like 12-tone equal temperament. In the other hand, if you go too crazy, it'll just be some random noise. This is, in fact, a great representation of the potential of microtonal music. Besides, that 5/4 beat just slaps.

yoosh any dissociative drug is much like this music video

[@andywright8803]

@@yoosh9034 it wasn't just the aural hallucinations. It was the visual: kaleidoscope opening and closing of the ceiling panels, being chased round the hospital by the doctors, and the pink dragon that followed people around. I had had multiple organ fsilure, and had a 5% chance of survoval. For all I know, it could have been weedkiller and it's not big or clever to try and replicate the experience

@@andywright8803 Yeah dude, I was just joking around

[@Mr_Frequency]

This is the best microtonal song I've ever heard.

[@koacado]

How many have you heard ?

[@Mr_Frequency]

@@koacado Way too many to count, like at least 60 or something, probably in the hundreds.

[@DjesseVol2]

that downward motion in the chorus really hits so well

[@wellshoot]

You are a genius, I think this is honestly one of the best pieces of music ever written. It is an amazing introduction to microtonal music, yet it is complicated enough to keep finding things even after I’ve listened to it like 50 times

[@FASTFASTmusic]

Love this mate. You are well ahead of the game. Making listenable microtonal music is tough. I'm learning.

[@Rotj6]

You're a genius

[@sivadmg]

my first glimpse into how it's possible to go beyond what the Beatles did for 60s pop music.

[@phoebexxlouise]

I love that breakdown with the fast chord changes and I just want to listen to it over and over again

[@VoiceFromBrazil]

Just starting my study about microtonal music in Brazil and Sevish is my mais source of inspiration and knwoledge. I thank him in my first video because I was lost, as if there was no more to be done in music, then I found Gleam! Thanks Sevish

[@wahuigi6843]

This song is why I subscribed

[@ItsRaitisLV]

My elbows and knees swapped places while listening to this

[@abramthiessen8749]

It is interesting how the stepwise motion sounds almost normal, and some of the chords are recognizable, but then some of the motion sounds very unusual. Altogether this was very interesting and informative. I kind of want to see what happens when someone tries other more random tunings, that are not specifically chosen for their harmonic or melodic properties.

[@whenthe277]

This was amazing to listen to, even though my ears may hear some tones as “ugly”, I know that we’ve all been raised on tradition western scales, and this is just the next step. Its truly beautiful, it has such well thought out tension that you always miraculously resolve! Great job, you earned this sub :)

[@Sevish]

Thank you!

[@whenthe277]

YOU RESPONDED I FEEL HONORED

[@whenthe277]

Keep making music you have a GIFT! :)

[@ExtremeSquared]

The wildest thing is that on the 10th listen, the ugliness has faded, and you can't recall what led you to feel that way on the first listen.

[@editarnome5280]

This is uncomfortable and beautiful

[@ElijahGomez7712]

Love what you did with the chord progression and the 5/4...it's hard to find great microtonal music that isn't creepy. THANK YOU FOR THIS.

[@ElijahGomez7712]

UPDATE: I just realized you also wrote the other one of my favorite microtonal pieces... DOUBLE THANK YOU

[@Sevish]

Thanks, glad you liked it

[@thefrub]

I keep having to come back and listen to this because it's stuck in my head

[@Rnr6019]

This guy broke almost every rule in music theory, yet somehow pulled it all back together. PROPS !!!

[@marcoroskoofficial]

Sevish, you really inspired me to make my own microtonal music. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@susiehenders]

This song tells me that mainstream music industry could be ready for a microtonal revolution!

[@ZwamTekMusic]

probably the best track of you ive heard so far

[@CorpseTongji]

this is like if aphex twin was unironically happy for 72 hours

[@JS-tm1gq]

Definitely can relate to aphex twin, he never was afraid to turn the detune knob

[@silentmurmur390]

it does sound sincerely happy even between notes

[@soejrd24978]

ahah that made me laugh my ass off

[@ELEKTROGOWK]

Absolutely dope!

[@afrivolouspursuit3147]

Got introduced to this while high and I'm still freaking out over it while sober.

[@newsoundacoustics7973]

I love odd time signatures. This was great. The drummer Anika Nilles does a lot of melodic odd time signatures. She fantastic.

[@alexharmonymusic3068]

Wow, those descending progressions were soooo nice!

[@rtbeerzi]

your best work. Emulate harmonies

[@elvancor]

Awesome. I've always cherished how most acoustic instruments are often slightly out of tune, contributing to the color. I think electronic music really needs this dimension, too.

[@xxTHExxABYSSxx]

That's basically what a supersaw does. It's a ton of slightly detuned voices makings it's own chorus. Im certain that many of the sounds used in this track were made by using multiple voiced synths/patches.

[@ReLoadedProject]

deeply unsettling but every time it becomes too much he releases the tension somehow, amazing

[@mikorabago]

Coming back to this after more than two years of not having heard of any microtonal stuff for ages. I am kinda excited of rediscovering stuff that I once discovered thanks to my introduction to jazz music and theory by Adam Neely and so many things in music thanks to all other KZbinrs in the platform, really. I remember that this does felt "alien" to me hearing it because at the time my ear was already accustomed to the Western 12-semitone music theory.

[@ElaineWalker]

This has to be one of my all time favorites. It sounds like a day in the life of my brain. 🤩

[@Gargantupimp]

Like the chromaticism. Especially what sounds like a raised scale degree four. In the A section It's amazing how tonal this sounds

[@nowandxenpodcast]

Yes, the main "tonic chord" is a pseudo-diatonic Lydian scale built on A. He doesn't include scale degree 6, though, to avoid a wolf in the sonority

[@EmmanuelIstace]

Ok, you got me, the quick chord progression gave me goose bump from the begening. I see what you're quoting with that chord progression. I slept, wake up, listen back to it, now, I don't even feel the strange feeling and just see the quoted progression... and more goose bump... I... love... this !

[@eddielee8410]

Man I love the sound of microtones. So new and fresh!

[@CorbyCave]

man, when that bass line kicked in, my eyes rolled back in my head. Bliss, man, just bliss.
