I'm going to explain why cubers are linked to music. Cubers use cubes, which is a 3D object. Do you know what else is an object? A table. Tables are also used in maths, and maths begins with the letter M. What else starts with the letter M? Macedonia. Macedonia is a country in the Balkans, and Balkans rhymes with falcons. Falcons are a kind of bird, and birds live in trees. Trees are used to make paper, and paper is used for many things including sketching. What do you sketch with? A pencil. Pencil lead is a grey colour, and so is concrete. Conrete has 2 syllables, and do you know what else has 2 sylablles? Cajun. Cajun seasoning is usually put on what? Fries. Fries rhymes with guys. Guys is a word, and what else is a word? Music. I've just explained how cubers are related to music, no need to thank me.

Two words: muscle memory. Both cubing and musical performance involve practicing until you can skillfully and accurately execute motions without thinking about them.

Great video! My son Aarav, 7, is a cuber and a pianist! We've always wondered about the link between music and cubing, it was great to see everyone's point of view! Also a big thank you for the square one tutorial, Aarav was finally able to solve it after months of having it around!

[@_kubiks]

I'm a musician and just got into cubing and I think persistence and not giving up after making a mistake is a big thing in both. Also, since I began in drumming the practice was basically mastering the technique slowly and gradually getting faster at it, but with quality and this can also be applicable to cubing. I always liked exploring different instruments and hobbies and cubing attracted me mainly for its portability, being able to do it everywhere. I can also compose everywhere, but I can't take my guitar or my drums everywhere so having free time at uni and other places was just lousy. The other thing was being able to get my anxiety under control, I always used music as a escape from everything else and cubing can be like that sometimes, you just get into your own little world where getting a PB is all you need to make your day a little bit better or mastering an algorithm or a different way to do something better. The chase of getting better and always "beating the previous you" may be the most similar thing of all. I loved this video ✨ cheers

Hello

[@vvVv-df6gc]

It’s so many things. They are both languages. They can be read like that through quite specific notifications beyond those ones of common languages. On the other hand, of course, they can be performed in real time. I’m a cuber, I perform. I’m a musician, I perform. ”I use valuable fingertricks in order of doing that.” My hands & fingers, their positions, whole body’s minimal yet tensive pace, all these structure a motion some people can see some people cannot. Part of the performance in any case. Everything from memorization to the smoothness of the final touch applies both on cubing and music, and the minimal core of these two forms of art & science (minimal: cause it’s not theater, it’s not physics, “it requires nothing but the instrument) ~ so this very core is what keeps cubing and music performance bonded to each other and we should all be thankful for that.

[@spikesandcurles961]

This is special because I have a huge passion in music. Watching TwoSet and practicing everyday to be a professional orchestral musician. But I am also a cuber.

[@cyoubx]

Sooo, I can probably help answer some of the neuroscience questions - If you want to compare the brains of cubers when they're cubing vs when they're playing music, there will be some very obvious correlations in the scans (via something like fMRI). Both activities involve motor movements, so motor regions in the brain will be active. There's a bit more to it though. Look-ahead is a very important in both sight-reading and cubing and the action of using what neuroscientists call "working memory" and planning for future moves (commonly referred to as feedforward movement) are likely similar. I particularly like the point about how cubing and sight-reading might be similar. With cubing, we're training heuristics. That is, we're trying to practice in such a way to get better at the "general" solution of a cube. While music is like that to some degree (as SCR points out with scales and arpeggios), the performance aspect is very different. A better analogy would be for a cuber to solve a practiced scramble at a competition, which we don't do. But this opens up a can of worms, because this implies in multiple ways that BLD is more similar to music performance than some of the other events. You get more time to plan your moves and you have the opportunity to "practice" before solving (though this not true at the highest level). I think the real connection here is that cubing involves a lot of highly applicable skills in various fields, music being only one of them. For example, I've seen quite a bit of correlation between typing speed and cubing speed as well, which can be linked to look-ahead, finger dexterity, muscle memory, etc. Awesome video!!

[@Tingman]

Fascinating, thanks for sharing that. I read an article last year on brain scans while people were playing chess, which was what partly lead to this. You’re right, it’d mostly be the motor cortex activated I’m guessing, but I really want to know what else may be associated too! I feel like we might be surprised. And yes good point about BLD, since that’s planned. Cubing is more like music improvising I reckon. Like fast jazz improv.

[@xdjarvis47]

I'm a cuber and proudly a guitarist, flutist and a pianist alongside. I quite cherish how cubing is being linked with similar hobbies such as typing, music etc. About this particular matter of discussion I think apart from being just musicians, cubers are actually better than most non-cuber hobbyists. The finesse develops from being persistent about the thing and more importantly, competing against ourselves before looking out for competitors along the way. I have personally felt a surge of perfection everytime I have tried to break a PB or get a song right in one go. I think its the most crucial thing that is needed if one wants to get better than his/her previous self and feel the change almost instantly. Great Job Tingman! You actually show non-cubers the way to cubing all the way teaching them some of the most important life skills to be successful.

[@Kewbix]

I always wondered this too. Also, a lot of cubers seem to be into typing.

[@Earth451]

I now a pretty big reason why some keepers are musicians. Cubing is for the fidgety people. playing instruments also are for fidgety people. It just kind of makes sense, because each of them have their own way of making the fingers do something. or wrist or any other things.

[@JJCuber27]

Thx for rickrolling me 👍 In all seriousness, this was a great insight into the relationship between cubing and musicians. There were a few aspects like lookahead that I thought about, but finger dexterity was something I had never considered.

[@gengarstudios9302]

I’ve had this conversation tons of times with my personal guitar teacher because we’re both cubers. There is definitely a rationship because you have to look ahead in sight reading, and practicing, and just wanting to learn without someone pushing you to do it. They’re just similar, so a lot of cubers are attracted to music, and a lot of musicians are attracted to cubing.

Amazing video, but you rickrolled us at the end. Lol

[@CrimsonsCubes]

something i feel is really easy to gloss over is the difference between performing music and creating music. im a musician myself and i can play a bit of piano but im mainly a music producer and 99% of my music creation is done entirely on a computer in software and doesn't require me to play anything. in my experience playing music and creating music are completely different skills (aside from things like improvisation). i've been writing music long before i had any interest in cubing and something i felt with music is this uncertainty of whether or not im good, because music creation is entirely subjective. after picking up cubing, i noticed it's a totally different feeling to have a number (an ao100 or ao1000) that represents how good you are, and if that number goes down i *know* im improving, and i think it's a great side hobby to compliment the subjectivity of music creation. also, i have a lot of friends who are music producers as well, and a significant number of them are cubers. i think it's because of a certain mindset that electronic music producers have since we're all kinda techy and honestly just nerds lol, so i think there is a bit of correlation there

[@Tingman]

Haven’t thought about it from that angle. Great observation that music performance and production is very different. I’m definitely on the side of the performance.

[@tgcuber9194]

I just think that becoz of maths and music we have a better understanding and memorisation of how the nos. and series or arrangements work and make it easy to correlate with cubing. I am very good in maths and even a pianist and of course a cuber. In my first year I am already sub 12 and I have correlated many cubing things with that of mathematics and piano.

[@orechris21]

I play guitar and my channel is dedicated to guitar and I also cube. I think that phil's thought is correct because at violin playing and guitar playing you need dexterity and in cubing you need dexterity too. I am a lead guitarist which means that I play solos and fast stuff so I have a lot of speed and dexterity so cubing fingertricks and all that stuff didn't seem hard to me. Also the part of algorithms in cubing is similar to learning a song.

[@JanstonPickle]

I have often theorised about this. For me personally finger dexterity is the closest link between playing instruments and cubing. Also the way I approach learning algorithms and the muscle memory that is created and then applied is another link. I firmly believe that there is a strong link but like it says in the video this could be confirmation bias because I have been a musician for most of my life and a cuber for only a couple of years. Really glad to see this topic explored 😊

This video was really interesting! I also think like Shawn that there is some kind of similarities in the muscle memory between playing an instrument and cubing. I play guitar and the muscle memory for me is nearly the same. First I read a note then I don't have to think about it anymore, my brain just does it. It's the same with cubing. When I read an algorithm, I can't do it at first but then my muscle memory start remebering so I don't have to think anymore. It's really cool how the brain works! Great video!

Not usually one to comment on youtube videos but this was great and very well out together. As a musician who has been cubing for only about 3 months I will say almost all the habits I have learned for practicing and improvement from music are the same ones I use for cubing. I also think the quick thinking I have developed from sight reading has helped a lot with the ability to quickly recognize cases, etc. I’m only just averaging around 20 seconds so that’s not to say I’m super good but in my personal experience everything I do to improve at cubing is taken directly from music. Just my thoughts on how being a musician can improve cubing

[@Tingman]

Great thoughts! Thanks for the comment.

[@HammerandPipe]

This is great. What a unique take on the hobbies.

[@Penguin........]

5:01 Tingman, Percussion requires an exceeding amount of fine motor skill as well. For xylophone or marimba, a more complex way to play it is with 4 mallets, which requires high amount of strength and mobility in the fingers (2 mallets still is complex!) For drums, you need to be able to use your wrists and fingers to be able to play strokes fast, slow, in the middle, or with good tone. Fine movements can be found in all intruments. Also, I could see fluidity being linked with music and cubing as well. I also agree with SpeedCubeReview fully.

[@jaysuero6263]

I think it's one question to ask if there is a direct connection between cubing and playing music (in terms of activity in the brain and what area is being applied), a different question (though connected) to ask if one is more disposed to learning cubing if one already has musical skills, and another question to ask if you can apply your musical skills and comprehension to cubing. I think the last question is easily observable and has been demonstrated in this video. At the very least, it can help you in comprehending some cubing concepts. A couple of instances where I see that musicality can apply to cubing is in learning algorithms and look ahead. When one learns algorithms I think typically people apply a sense of rhythm to commit it to memory. With look ahead, you try to pace your self so that you can solve at a continuous flow or in a sense solve at a manageable tempo. Of course there isn't a set tempo for cubing but if you want to increase your speed you have to work your way up from lower speeds where you are able to "read" what's coming ahead and slowly increase your speed from there. Of course it's a bit easier to increase your speed with music because the notes never change while the cube is different every time. Although the "notes" are rearranged at the beginning of each solve, each alg is like a short melody that you are trying to patchwork together in a smooth and comprehensive way. In that sense, would one say that musical improvisation would be a parallel that is applicable as well? I'm not that musically inclined to be able to improv so I cannot say. I'm just hoping writing this essay out will finally put my brain to rest so that I can get some sleep...

Interesting video. My two big things are cubing and music. I don't relate to the sight reading/look ahead stuff because although i did learn to read music I never ever do it. Also I don't play any music that requires fast technical playing, I'm more of a song writer and producer, and I'm not great at fast turning either. I think I enjoy multiblind because to me it's the most creative event. You have to come up with a lot of imagery that will stick in your mind. Also maybe there's some aesthetic satisfaction to see all the colours put right, like getting a musical passage right or making a song come together in a satisfying way.

I thought about you when I was making this video. You make a good point - there is a broad spectrum of musicality. So many things to explore if we wanted to study this.

[@VrishabAV]

I think one reason why cubers also tend to be musicians and like typing (from Dana Yi's poll) is because all of them involve some sort of finger movement, dexterity and ability to utilise your fingers well. I was watching a cup-stacking video recently and several people in the comments were cubers as well as stackers (not sure if that's the term), so maybe cubing extends to some of these other things as well

I started cubing seriously last year and now I am sub 20 ..... I also started learning the keyboard 5 months ago and I have seen both my skills improve tremendously over the past few months.....curious to know how they are related from the experts..love from India

All jokes aside, I thought there was a big relationship between cubing and playing (maybe particularly string playing??) I am a classical violinist and when I first found Sean (speedcubereview) to check out some new cubing tutorials, I was not entirely surprised to discover he played violin ... I think there is a link. I didnt start cubing until I was 30 yet I've played violin since childhood. I think he's not necessarily joking saying that playing violin could make someone a better cuber and vice versa. Interesting video!
