technically they are, for example the beginning three chords just use fifth intervals going down at a half step, but the rest of the song is composed of ratios that we already know mixed in with other ratios (I don't do a good job of explaining, basically imagine a fifth interval, and then another fifth but then transposed up a microtonal interval)
brilliant composition. it's nice to see someone utilise microtones in music without it sounding like an atonal mess. the key is subtlety. a lot of other people getting into the world of microtonal instruments could learn that from you.
+jeyko666 It has nothing to do with pasterns, it has to do with natural harmonics, a tonal music typically has very dissonant chordings, chordings that dont harmonize. Atonal music literally has fuck all to do with patterns.
+MrZoxx Exactly. An out of chord note, a 6th, 7th, 9th, etc, sounds weird regardless, unless backed up by melodious sequences, which jazz for example does. Rather than lessening the notes you can use to make it sound good, you're increasing it. This is the same concept but with 6.5ths, 7.25ths, 9.33ths. Most of the 'normal' sounding notes you're hearing are actually not the regular tuning, but are chords, regardless.
MrZoxx doesn't matter if there are intended patterns or not. The brain always seeks to make sense of any kind of stimulus. If there's a bass note you'll more likely hear the rest of the pitches in relation to that, atonal or not
I haven't been blown away by classically inspired synth since hearing Wendy Carlos, just wow..... This is something groundbreaking for Western musical composition.
Okay, so I showed this to my band director. The first thing he said was "that is such a great sweater" the instrument also blew him away, so kudos to you for playing such incredible music.
waterlubber saying these are tones never heard before may be a stretch, although this is great, dolores is by no means the first to venture into the world of microtonal music.
veft the "world of microtonal music" is an infinite world. You've been to Earth but maybe not Argentina, and even if you had you could never go everywhere in Argentina. These may never have been heard before.
2:25 that part is so cool. I find this channel to be so incredible, the sounds that I hear are almost incomprehensible, so far removed from traditional music and notation. Whatever music is in the future, it will probably be made with instruments quite like this, by musicians like Dolores
this is one of very few good polychromatic compositions I have heard. It's not just a 15 minute compilation of downshifts. The chord progressions are amazing
@Tony Dai Haha I have no idea. I just thought the choir might be freaked out because it’s “unorthodox” and not on a 12-note scale. I don’t know much about singing
@@tonydai782 It would absolutely require a lot of efforts. Because we sing with our body which is essentially a slide whistle in terms of note production, we cement the typical intervals into our actual psyche. It would take a LOT of active effort, a tremendous ear, and focus to sing something like this in a choir. Our muscle memory has us producing notes in a fixed relation to each other and this breaks that.
Beautiful, existential and heartbreaking all in one. It's a pity the only way to reproduce this would be with one of these and the maker of them is no longer making them as of now. I feel like I'm watching a piece of history watching this as it seems to be one of the first coherent pieces of music using a microtonal instrument. I know coherence is subjective but I just mean even the layman can appreciate this as opposed to say, extreme microtonal metal which to most seems like strangely formulated chaos. I bet Mr. Bungle could have spit out some awesome stuff had they had one of these back in the day.
I like how you stated your points. I agree with your sentiments. If Mr. Bungle had one of these their music would've been more out there than it already was.
In the video she is playing with a resolution of 106 notes per octave. The tuning currently setup in the following link is 72 EDO, you can get close with that. Under "Tuning\Layout Quick Links" scroll to the bottom and select 72 EDO brandlew.com/keyboard/keys.htm
it's not atonal tho. its polychromatic. and it uses a lot of western harmonic devices. hardly a microtonal song. it sounds good because it barely has any microtonal stuff in it
@@tombruges1557 Exactly, Arabic, Persian, Greek, Turkish, even Far East. Bend a note on a fretless instrument. These are just regular chords, 7th chords and major thirds... She's actually not playing ANY new notes. They're just following regular Western patterns but slightly off. These are very easy chords, she's following what you'd see on the keys of the piano and only slightly veers when she descends with bass notes at one point playing a note that's inbetween two semitones. You wanna feel something? Listen to someone play an oud or Persian setar or some Rembetika music; certain intervals were BANNED by the government for sounding too Eastern! There are half flat "minor thirds" and half flat "minor seconds". These are following multiple scales that you haven't yet learned or known about. There are many many scales that utilise notes inbetween notes, they are called "roads" or maqams. Even the Greek Orthodox priests are chanting with these ancient modes. This is nothing new or even so inventive. If anything it is just showcasing that you can play this like a regular keyboard and let some of the notes be flat or sharp. This is very safe music. It is safe. It doesn't even feel off.
@@tombruges1557 Really that message was for @Cat Hopkinson to open his/her mind. Because you seem to be more in the know. This music just sounds more "relatable" and "familiar"
I've cried to this song so much. I'm surprised by how moved I am with this piece. I guess, in a subtext kind of way, it's the soundtrack to a soul who's feeling hopeful despite the tension. The decending chords near the end leading to that massive dominant chord near the end always gets me. The microtones add the perfect amount of tension to make it a story of triumph over fear, or caring deeply within an uncaring world that distorts. I can't explain how deep this makes me feel, but thank you for composing this piece and sharing it with us here on TH-cam. This song has helped me release some inner sadness the past few years, and I've never fully expressed that directly. I'm inspired on a spiritual level with this, and I aim to create similar feelings in my own music down the road
I have absolutely loved all of your beautiful polychromatic creations for about 5 years since the first time I came across it. Im so impressed and inspired by how comfortable you are painting with such a complicated brush. I show your songs to my friends and other musicians all the time. ❤❤❤
Lots of interesting responses in the comments here. It seems like, in embracing the 'bridge' composition idea, Dolores has largely used conventional harmonic concepts but with justly-tuned thirds and 'natural' sevenths instead of the equally-tempered thirds and sevenths you'd hear from a piano or guitar. Perhaps some adjustments on the fifths/ninths as well? I love the sound and appreciate that many people are here listening and discussing! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds like a journey through some kind of otherworldly landscape. Really impressive how you're able to utilise microtonal tuning in a way that produces such calming results. Great stuff!
Oh those unbelievably in-tune fifths and sevenths and everything moving so freely around oh how much do I wish I had more exposure to microtonal music at an earlier age.
It's really impressive that they've managed to make something microtonal that sounds so musical even to someone familiar with the western 12 note octave.
Man, this is just ridiculously good! As many others already commented, this is exceptionally well done in terms of composition! There are so many vids on microtonality where the music is just random notes all over the place, but here you can really feel that the key changes have an actual meaning and are a travel road to complete the musical journey!
+Hayden Ganas me too. He certainly makes use of microtones in his music through bending and detuning, but it would be dope to have quantized microtones at his disposal.
I HAVE to learn this on my 7-string. These chords and that range would be perfect for it! I think if I gave it some real effort, this translates super well into progressive metal. Love this.
I kind of already know the answer to the question but is there any way to adapt this composition to a 12-tone keyboard but preserve the essence of the original? Asking because I wish I could play this on a piano
I come back regularly(probably once a week) to listen to this song, and I must say, its a shame that it only has 969 views. It is a truly beautiful performance.
I remember when I commented on this video about 6 months ago saying this individual was a male. Still to this day I constantly listen to this master piece over and over again.
There were parts of this piece where I was able to feel exactly what would come next. I know exactly nothing about microtonal music, so this feeling must be due to an especially careful and insightful composer! Thank you for that!
Those thirds and sevenths! And fifths! All of those sonorities are so perfect because you're using the perfect harmonic alignments of things. So, so nice.
I wanted to express my admiration for your music, but I'm simply speechless... It's so beautifull! I'm thinking of getting into microtonal music. Where can I get this instrument?
+Kamil B. Thank you Kamil. The instrument is called a Tonal Plexus (TPX6). Unfortunately, Aaron Hunt has stopped making them. Maybe you can find a used one (TPX model or U-Plex) online. Hopefully, if there is enough interest he will consider building them again... hpi.zentral.zone/tonalplexus
Iv'e known this video pretty much since the time it came out and every once in a while I come back to it when ever I want to get goosebumps all over my body
Playing piano for 7 years, this really fucks my mind up. The notes all fall in like with each other even though they aren't on the piano, but my ears have never heard those notes, so the entire song, I felt like something was wrong.
Damn I remember watching this video as a kid. I couldn’t believe what I felt. This video literally introduced me to sounds I had never heard in my life before. I wanted to learn how to play one of these so bad. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Floating islands in the sky. Endless sea. The wind crossing a forest of nothingness. Calm. A peaceful place full of mysteries. This track is made for Fez. It depicts exactly this endless realm of beautiful hidden things to see.
Very, very interesting. To me, most of the microtones do not sound out of tune at all. In fact, I almost expect them. Its like hearing the upper overtones of the harmonic series, but brought down several octaves to a more familiar range. They're always faintly present in tonal chords (at least on my very old Kruspe), but here they get to share the stage, and take an active role, rather than simply decorating the existing tonal structure.
You know a microtonal composition is good, when the tones sound in place.
Cretium they sound more in place than any western music
Exactly
technically they are, for example the beginning three chords just use fifth intervals going down at a half step, but the rest of the song is composed of ratios that we already know mixed in with other ratios (I don't do a good job of explaining, basically imagine a fifth interval, and then another fifth but then transposed up a microtonal interval)
It's not microtonal. It's polychromatic. They aren't the same thing
@@natalielastname1022 what's the difference?
brilliant composition. it's nice to see someone utilise microtones in music without it sounding like an atonal mess. the key is subtlety. a lot of other people getting into the world of microtonal instruments could learn that from you.
It's impossible to make atonal music. Your brain finds patterns in everything

Incredibly sophisticated sense of harmony and tone quality even without the unusual tuning. Your songwriting is great too.

_Use numbers on your PC keyboard to play samples of this track, to make yourself a new song from it. _*_Enjoy!_*
The Linux Gamer I agree. She is VERY proficient with these microtonal instruments.
whoa, i just watched you and Lunduke do a show.
Then I'd suggest you check out boards of canada, they make music very similar to this, at least some of their songs are like this.
But their music is very similar, I didn't say they make microtonal music, I said their music has this kind of vibe
Finally, someone figured out how to make microtonal/atonal music emotionally meaningful! A remarkable accomplishment!!!!! Deepest respect.
Listen to Ben Johnson or all Arabic music or any microtonal composers like Haba. I think you’re confusing emotional for simplistic
it's not atonal tho. its polychromatic. and it uses a lot of western harmonic devices. hardly a microtonal song. it sounds good because it barely has any microtonal stuff in it
