    As another guy mentioned down the line, the beauty of the composition is due to the harmonization + structure added by the player. It would probably work with random numbers as well. So it is human interpretation which renders it enjoyable. It would be interesting to have it generated *completely* algorithmically (melody+harmonization+rhythm) and see if it still would sound so great!

      Thanks, Mr. Obvious. π, as well as the Fibonacci sequence have a lot of Mathematical properties, but they don't have musical properties.

      My understanding is, the more mathematical a composition gets the less likely it sounds like music to the average human listener.

      I generated notes and chords using the Fibonacci sequence randomly when I was studying my computer science degree.
      It is much like any computer generated music and sounds.. Computer generated; quite random. The piece in this video sounds good but it's a human interpretation using the numbers in a way that fits Western composition rules. For example he has played larger numbers by sequencing the individual integers rather than playing those integers as a chord... Which would have sounded discordant and muddy but is what a computer would do unless you gave it additional rules to split those numbers into something more palatable to our musical sensibilities.

      Music is based on maths, specifically the intervals between notes; simple ratios sound nice to the human brain.
      (Though in the modern tuning system of equal temperament, approximations of those ratios are used as just using the ratios will render many keys and chords useless, but your brain doesn’t really notice the difference between equal temperament and the ratios unless you’re really listening for it.)

    For those that don't play the piano. Ill let you into a secret. Once you know the keys and scales, you can basically press any key you want in that scale and it will sound good.
    If you look at his left hand he is playing arpegiated chords that set the mood or feel of the music. However, the right is essentially playing random notes (the fibbernachi sequence). However, it still sounds good because it's in key.
    I'll prove it, with your left hand hold down C, E and G. Now with your right hand, press any white note you like, it doesn't matter which one, they will all sound good.
    You've just learnt the chord of C, in the key of C with the scale of C. A free one hour piano lesson in 10 seconds...you're welcome.

  • @solargreg1
    @solargreg1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    This is a beautiful piece of music, but I agree with other commenters who have said it only sounds good because it started with a major scale, which is already pre-selected to contain notes that harmonize. It has half-steps and whole-steps, so the proportionality of pitches and intervals is not the same as for natural numbers. You've assigned the distance from 0 to 1 is a half-step, but your distance from 1 to 2 is a whole step. So the relationship of pitch intervals to each other is not proportional to a Fibonacci sequence.
    To hear what a Fibonacci sequence sounds like in the audio domain, you need to use a full chromatic scale. Assign each half-step to equal the quantity of 1. Start a Fibonacci sequence in a very low octave, because you'll need a lot of high notes. On a piano, you'll only be able to explore the sequence up to the number 88.
    The first several numbers fit inside the first octave (0 1 1 2 3 5 8) , then you have 13 21 in the second octave, 34 in the third octave, 55 is in the 5th octave, and 89 (frustratingly) wont even fit on the piano, unless you have some kind of digital programmable thing. The next one, 144, im not sure, but i think is out of the range Given that human hearing is only about 9 or 10 octaves wide, the sequence will rapidly expand beyond human hearing.
    I tried this sequence on a guitar, and it produces a mildly consonant series at first, increasingly dissonant above 13. However, I think it should be possible for someone more creative than me to compose a piece that sounds interesting using this kind of scale.
    If you ever try this, I'd be very interested to hear what you come up with.

      @@ThisReckless Good question. A sequence does not necessarily have to start from 0, it can have some pre-defined starting point. The classic Fibonacci sequence is arbitrarily defined to start from O and 1. Otherwise, if it started from 0 and 0, it would simply repeat zero's forever, which is not very interesting. You can also create Fibonacci sequences starting with any two numbers you want, and see what the sequence produces. Try negative numbers, fractions, or irrationals. This is not necessarily musical, its just fun math.

      So in composition, you can take any melody and create a chord progression and harmonize it any way you want. For example, you could try to make the majority of the piece minor instead. You could even make it sound like jazz (but not quite sure if the melody will allow for any success at jazz). Perhaps you wanted to make it sound thematically random on purpose. This piece is one representation, or one interpretation, of the Fibonacci sequence in music. There is a variety of ways you can represent it, so there is no absolute way of representing *The* Fibonacci sequence... so you're right, but in addition there is no way to make a piece that does.

      Fibonacci, as well as Mandelbrot Fractals, Pi, repeating decimals, are all instances of calculations that are the result of multiple iterations, sometimes never reaching a conclusion with a definable whole number unit. Prime numbers are interesting because they fit a specific limitation of division, not divisible by other numbers than itself or one. In either case, there is a hint of something infinite on their characteristics. The iterations could continue as long into the future as we have time to look, and the same for discovering prime numbers.

    It’s so nice to see that people find enjoyment in these aspects of math. I recently had to write a 4000 word essay for my high school and decided to base it off of the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio derived from it. Although it was an interesting experience I don’t think it’s something I would ever do again as it was a gigantic pain in the ass.

    wow such a fantastically beautiful work..
    in fact, I'm listening to this in memory of my lovely dad who was a genuine math-lover. He passed away few months 4 months ago..
    thank you!

    I think the criterion he used for transposition into music has nothing to do with Fibonacci sequence

      99nessuno99 he just laid out the keys in order 0-9 in the e major scale and played the ones that fall in the Fibonacci sequence, but randomly and with rhythm that isn’t in that sort of growing time signature.. it’s a biiiiig stretch to call this what he called it

      I’d argue music isn’t man made. We see musical Melodies in other animals like birds, and even non musical animals can react positively when listening to a pleasant melody. It’s possible that music is strictly animal based, but it’s definitely not only related to humans

      Maynard actually called that the biggest fart joke of all time, even he acknowledged all music actually occurs in the Fibonacci sequence that is the nature of music....tool did not do anything special except for the Syllables for the verse vocals, they did not write that whole song trying to pay attention to the fibonacci sequence, there is an interview with Joe Rogan where Maynard explains this, It was just to mess with people.... The Fibonacci sequence can be found in every song, that is the way nature works
