Please.
I've been watching Cosmos and I'm pretty sure this is how black holes are formed
Im not sure what a negative time signature should sound like but I have to say that I find it much more convenient to have the emphasis be on 1 and 3 rather than 2 and 4. That way I always know where 1 is.
Sonic Relativity reveals emergence of gravity from macro-quantum quasi-particles
Foundations of Physics pdf - published August 2017
Sonic Clocks and Sonic Relativity:
It is worth noting that if we had access to devices that were built from quasiparticles [macroquantum phonons] made up from the medium itself, then sonic relativity would emerge naturally. Professors Pierre Deymier and Keith Runge: it's based on a phononic structure that basically supports sound waves; our systems are acoustic quantum analogs of qubits. We call them Phi-Bits. So they exhibit the same capabilities of having superposition of states but they do not have the drawback of decoherence. They are stable. the interaction of sound with other physical and biological waves but also brings to light examples of extrinsic processes that can lead to symmetry breaking. The coherent conversion of sound into other types of waves as well as the sound-induced non-conventional topology of elastic, electronic, spin and biological waves are presented in the case of media exhibiting elasto-electronic, photo-elastic, magneto-elastic effects and biological mechano-transduction....The superposition of elastic states... is therefore measurable without wave function collapse in contrast to what would be the case for the superposition of states of a true quantum system.... A sound wave that hit the second horizon would bounce back toward the first event horizon, where it would trigger more sound-wave pairs that parted ways at the black-hole boundary. “The Hawking radiation amplifies itself,” Steinhauer says.

Is there a thing as negative talent? I have some former band-mates who I think possessed this trait.
It depends. Does your playing suck, or does it blow?
Karsten Johansson boi
No, as negative talent implies some value
I actually wonder, because there is obviously such a thing as just easily picking something up and getting it, that we call talent.
aside from being enerally disabled (bad motor functions etc.) or disadvantaged is there such a thing as just not being able to pick up the guitar at the base line of speed, or is the base line decided in general by whoever was the slowest?
In other words, your band gets better when you kick them out. Sounds legit.
What about a 0/0 time signature?
spngrm John Cage's 4' 33" in a nutshell
now hold up a minute...
Ah yes, the perpetual rest.
It would be a piece where you either had to play infinitely fast, or didn't even play at all.
Imagine having 0 cookies and you split evenly among 0 friends. See? That doesn't make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that he has no cookies, and you are sad that you have no friends.
Negative time signature means play the music backwards.
So when Beethoven played the sheet of music upside down and totally schooled Steibelt
So... Rob Scallon?
No you gotta travel backwards in time while you're playing bro
@@venomousalex8383 nah you have to have already played it then reverse time
The second half of Bach's Crab Canon. It's a piece that can be played forward, backwards, and by two instruments playing both directions at once.
Time signatures so negative one must travel back in time while playing them

If you play a negative time signature, you owe the club money, that's the only difference.
Of course, that could be negated by playing a song in negative harmony - as we all know, a minus and a minus make a plus.
Viktor Kaganovich More like "If you play a negative time signature, the club actually pays you money" [/musiciansarepoorjoke]
The problem is it has a different axis, you can't sum two things that are different. I mean, we know both are negative but in negative harmony, you're pivoting with a note and in this new concept, you're pivoting with a beat.
Playing and owing the club money has been invented back in the 20th century: they called it “jazz” [/noonelistenstojazzjoke]
I only paid $5 ($10 many years later) to play at The University Of The Streets (and it wasn't a club) on East 7th Street in NYC. Maybe a 1 drink minimum at jam sessions, but you do get your booze for that money. So, no, you saps, one normally doesn't pay the club.
I've tried both regular and negative time signatures, and in both cases the room emptied. [/Imshitatmusicjoke]
However, when I played a cover of Cage's 4:33 most hung around. I assume to see what was going to happen next [/imreallyshitatmusicjoke]
-6/8 ? Easy, just rest for a bar and then start playing normally
go back in time, play it along with the previous bar
or play the music backwards
Actually, in many Flamenco styles the last note of each bar is the one accented. One I remember is:
123 123 12 12 12
- - + - - + - + - + - +
And yet the one is still perceived as a '1'. If you want to experiment with accent displacement this may be worth checking out!
Manuel Harari Blanco but when you transcribe flamenco (at least for classical guitar) the anacrusis is one the first - - +. Or else the pulse would be really off when you came to matching the polyrhythms. Look at Asturias “Leyenda” the beat goes |123 12 12 12 (that’s one “set”) and then 123 as a pick up to the next “set. That’s my experience however. So it’ll look like this 123 |123 12 12 12|
But still positive time signature
I felt homeless without the intro :(

Everytime I think we've finally discovered the deepest possible rabbit hole in all music, Adam posts a new video.
"When you meet Buddha, kill him".
"Binaural hearing is the acoustic analog of the interferometer or double-slit experiments. The two ears can be regarded as an acoustic interferometer, which recovers the phase difference of signals between the two ears by binaural correlation….matter waves are locally in phase with the superluminal particle clocks (de Broglie’s Law of Phase Harmony).
The clock runs forever so it’s self-sustaining (consciousness-energy). It resonates with the quantum vacuum." Physics Professor Manfred Euler "Universal coherence" - a "mind boggling outlook."
Phase harmony in de Broglie theory relates a local periodic phenomenon (the 'particle clock') to a periodic propagating field in such a way that relativistic invariance is satisfied. If a similar phenomenon in the cell is relevant it should couple the global oscillation pattern locally with periodic (mechanic, electric, biochemical ???) processes.
Coherence as consciousness.

0:41 I'm a math guy by trade, my sincere respect and cudos to you for drawing the analogy to complex numbers! Your way of thinking is on point here. If something "does not exist" as in "cannot be observed in nature" but is beneficial to model new concepts, it in fact "does exist". That's exaclty true! And it's also a good example why math is called a "structural science", not a "natural science" like physics.
Man, they had us study that stuff (I was not good at maths, obviously)in High School and when we got to the imaginary numbers I asked my teacher how the hell we were supposed to understand something that does not exist and makes no sense, and she just said we had to and that was it.
Your random TH-cam comment answered my question from almost ten years ago.
Thank you so much.
@@treesome3979 I can relate. In high school, I got C- grades (4 in german 1 to 6 grading system) but desperately wanted to study computer science and electrical engineering. So I did. In second semester, I understood "complex" numbers and "imaginary part" in the first 10 minutes of a lecture on signal transformation. In summary: "Complex does not mean 'complicated' but 'composite', because those numbers are composed of two parts. Like a two-dimensional vector (x,y). The algebra happens to be that of two-dimensional vectors, and plotted like those, with the only real difference that we write (re,im) and that the second part is always multiplied by a specific number that happens to be the square root of -1, so let's just think of them as vectors."
Now look at this image:
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Complex_number_illustration.svg/1200px-Complex_number_illustration.svg.png
Actually correct me if I'm wrong but does any number actually exist in the real world? I mean does the number 1 exist? Do negative numbers exist? For sure you can say 1 cow or and intrest rate of 1% or negative numbers to denote a debt but 1 as in of itself does not exist just like "i" does not exist so when people say that imaginary numbers does not exist I think it is somewhat of a disservice to concept, in fact I and many others think that "imaginary" numbers is actually a really bad name to give. I think that numbers in itself does not exist at all in the natural world it's is just a way of expressing a concept
@@neu3478 Exactly, that's what I was about. Every number is imaginary. Just like every word is a made up word.
Could not agree more why this is (one of a few) reasons why "imaginary" is an irritating term. "Because you have to imagine that a number exists that is a solution to sqrt(-1). Okay then, why not go all the way and call it "phony" or "mentally experimental". They should have chosen some random Greek letter like they did with Pi. We don't call it "the circular number", do we.
The more math you learn, the more you realize "real" numbers aren't real at all. Check out Chaitin's constant.

probably the very first Adam Neely video I've ever watched. don't stop doing these ples
Hi! I think it's clear: you start at the end of the piece and play is backwards. In the past some canons worked like that, and then we have what we wanted for so long: manga music!! ;-)
This is an excellent comment. I low-key love you.
that is what is called a crab canon
My band teacher in 6th grade used to have 'backwards Friday'. It was a musical exercise where we would play every piece of music that we had played earlier in the week, but backwards.
When I thought of negative time signature, this is what I immediately thought of. Because we started at the end of the song, and worked our way backwards, as if reversing the flow of time.
This is what I thought immediately as well. Just play the song from the end to the beginning. Simple. ;)
That is hardly a new concept. Bach Wrote crab Fugues that were designed to be played both forwards and backwards.
Adam: *posts video* Me: *sees title of video* Me: the Vsauce of music has returned
Adam focuses on a topic in a way that I learn a bit about it, while Vsauce is like someone clicking through Wikipedia at hyperspeed. They both have good editing though.

1:29 the negative lick- amazing
EE here, the bit about i gave me an idea to implement it
This sounds like an interesting concept for composition: using a complex number to represent an element (such as a synthesizer, waveform, or physical instrument)
E.g. the magnitude of the complex number could be the volume of the sound produced (or the wavelength! Use reciprocal to find the desired pitch), and the angle would be the temporal phase shift.
To give an example, you could prepare sheet music for a lead violin player with orchestra accompaniment. Their sheet music would appear completely normal, but with a complex number (in polar form) above each one. This would tell them how loudly to play the note, and how much of a phase delay before starting the note (where 360°could be defined as one beat or one bar)
I can't imagine what some common complex-valued mathematical functions would yield as music if you took their outputs as notes. Definitely something I'm going to explore implementing
Your videos are so well thought out. I love it!
One minute into the video and I instantly loved it.
Super good explanation and thought process, glad to see there are some folks out there who know their music fundamentals and are able to explain it well!

Negative time signature: When a group of prog elitists gather round and bemoan the fact that popular music is all in 4/4

there's grous of people who listen to prog? i thought me and my brother were the only ones in a radius of at least 500 kilometers...
There's usually at least 7/8 of them in given region.

Have you read Erno Lendvai's book on Bartok? He came close to figuring out the secret. Erno Lendvai states, “The tritones' overtones act as subdominants [fourths] and as dominants [fifths] at the same time. ... Lendvai, Bela Bartok, p. 24. And this gets into noncommutative phase as the 5th dimension origin of reality.
I’ve come back to watch this video again. I recently watched 12 Tone’s response video which brought up many more interesting ideas, so I came back to see what he was responding to since it had been quite a while since I’d seen this one.
You are certainly right about one thing, this question did create a lot of interesting discussion.

The "anacrusis" thing came up recently in a Paul Davids video, which he talked about playing Kings Of Leon's 'Sex on Fire' riff wrong. Also, the chord change in the weak beat reminded me of the syncopation issue in Radiohead's 'Videotape' and I would love to hear you talk more about it, maybe in a Q&A vid.

I had some similar thoughts about negative velocity (for instance, -1 m/s) back when I was in physics class in highschool. This is something that definitely exists, but I was trying to think of different ways to conceptualize it.
The most obvious would be that it inverts direction, and that a negative velocity would just mean to travel backwards in space. That is, interpreting a negative velocity as a negative unit space per unit time. I believe this is how most people would conceptualize negative velocity.
However, there is an equally valid, yet practically equivalent way to interpret it, as well. Instead of applying the negation to our spacial dimension, we could instead apply it to our time dimension. This has the same effect in practice: if you are walking backwards, then somewhere in front of you is somewhere you will have been at in the past. It takes you a negative amount of time to travel a positive displacement at a negative velocity.
Perhaps a similar conception could be applied to the time signature ratio. The units of a time signature are in beats per bar, so you would either need a negative number of beats in a bar, or you would need a negative number of bars in order to reach that number of beats. Maybe that would mean going backwards on the score? I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that in order to find a valid interpretation for a negative time signature, you either have to find an interpretation for a negative number of beats or a negative number of bars.
I'm sorry if this is a little pants-on-head-ish, but that would be my thoughts on the matter.
finally subscribing to this channel as a form of self care. nice content bro.

Thought provoking. And great explanation on the relationship between accents and chord changes. Enjoyable.
Gave me a better understanding of other related topics. Thanks!
Hey, Adam; here's a question for your Q&A:
I watched your amazing lecture about polyrhythmic harmonies, and it got me thinking about a concept I like to call "Timbral Harmony." The idea of Timbral Harmony is that certain sonic textures create either consonance or dissonance with specific other textures. The "major chord," as it were, of Timbral Harmony is what I call "Boom, Smack, Shimmy." Boom (a kick drum) stacks nicely with Smack (snare) and Shimmy (hi-hats). We could create a "minor chord," perhaps, by substituting a slightly darker middle sound, "Boom, Blatt, Shimmy," perhaps by turning off the snare chain, or by substituting a Tom hit instead. We could brighten our harmony too, "Boom, Smack, Splash," using a ride cymbal instead of the hi-hats. But if we were to play "Shimmy, Sploosh, Splash," (Hi-hats, Crash, and Ride) our ears would recognize a certain amount of tension/dissonance within this beat (bc these sounds are difficult to distinguish from one another), and moving to "Boom, Smack, Shimmy" would resolve this tension. To me, this idea goes beyond just percussive sounds, (tubas "Bwuhp," trumpets "Toot," etc.) but the examples with drums are easiest to describe onamatopoeically.
Is this idea of Timbral Harmony a thing?
Dude, it's called The Sound. Like in "Dude, how do I get that Nirvana sound?"
Perhaps a negative time signature can be like the other half of Bach's Crab cannon. The voice that starts from the end and progresses toward the beginning. Yes in that sense from each players perspective they are both playing positive time signatures, but one voice could see the other as in a negative time signature relatively.
Insightful as always. Nice one.
I have no idea what a negative time signature should be, but I enjoy and appreciate both of your attempts to describe what it might be! ♥

Adam should be the moderator between June Lee, Jacob Collier and Rick Beato
bigPianist99 They would probably just start doing what those two Facebook bots did and they’d have to be shut off, and then we’d lose Adam and Jacob. You don’t want a video of Adam and Jacob in the same room.
Complex (and imaginary) numbers do show up in the real world. They show up in electrical engineering (phase) and quantum mechanics. They are just as real as "real" numbers. They are just not used for enumerating (counting) objects.
Not to mention, it's not like "real" numbers are real either. For example, Chaitin's constant is a real number, but it's impossible to know any of its digits.
This is on a quite advanced level of music theory, way beyond my comprehension.
But you manage to explain it so well that I actually DO understand what you're saying :)
Thanks, Adam!
Love the visualization
Could we count Radiohead's "Videotape" as an example of -4/4?
Was going to suggest "Turn the Beat Around" but I think you picked the best example. And it's about a retro technology as well.

Guilherme Peace fuck ING Genius
Andriy Vasylenko hi frriend
yoooooo
When you reverse a song or piece, the time signature then becomes negative. Done👌
But what if the music’s a palindrome? Which way is positive?
Nope, you're then just listening to a piece all of whose emphases, melodies, rhythms, and harmonies are reversed, mirrored, or inverted, but you're listening to this reversed thing while time is moving forward. A negative time signature is something that can't exist in reality (at least not to human perception), in much the same way that you can't go to the shop and buy 'i' bananas.

str4yfe You don't know that they were joking. I know they probably were, but in case they weren't I wanted to give an explanation as to why their theory doesn't work.
Incredible. you always make me want to learn things.
I play jazz and classical music as a trombone. So I'm used to emphasis on 1 and 3, AND 2 and 4, so when you talked about "strong" and "weak" beats created in our head, I couldn't even tell. Just all the same.

Wow you are so Sharp dude. What a great way to figure it out. I agree with your theory completely. Exploiting the weak beat would so totally be a characteristic of negative time.

Thank you for the INTELLIGENT video.
I was jamming with a friend, and he came up with this nice riff, so I did a simple rhythm part, but in 'negative time'. Was a very interesteing and very challenging experience, but it sounded really good in the end!

Hi! I'm a fan from Bolivia. I like your channel very much. I laugh a lot, too.
I'm thinking that there is - maybe - an example of an "anti-iambic pentameter" (I don't mean trochaic). There is a great ethnomusicologist from England named "Henry Stobart" who studies the music of my country. He is very into cultural relativism and he explains that the same music can be understood very differently within different cultures. This specific study analyses the anacrusis in the music of some rural areas in the high andes of Bolivia.
www.jstor.org/stable/3060646
I'm thinking that the end point of this article is only to understand that the perception of some music can change within different cultures and for some occidental ears some things can be understood as iambic while another ears understand it as trochaic (and that says a lot about how music is being transcribed within ethnomusicologist studies), but when I hear the differences (in my occidental way of thinking - because I grew up in the city and not in the rural area) there is a mid point in which I hear both subdivisions at the same time.
Perhaps that can be useful as a compositional resource? Changing the accentuation on purpose in order to understand it negatively and therefore understand it as a "Negative Time Sigature"? I don't know, it is just a thought.
Greetings from La Paz!
Juan Andrés Palacios Fernandez también escucho todos subdivisiones contemporáneamente :D
yes just eat San Pedro and negative time will be experienced. I had a whole life review in the Andes when I was there with a beautiful Venezuela indigena female with whom I was in love with. Amazing vision. I could not stop it but it connected time not chronologically but rather through the psychological energy blockages. Music works the same way - a great book on this is called "The Haunting Melody" by Theodore Reik.
"The Lick" Shirt. Nice
Just came down the comments for that 😂
Holy moly this was a whole video that touched interesting stuff but then ultimately said "if the snare comes first maybe?"
Amo como ele pega uma pergunta feita de maneira burra e dá uma aula incrível e extremamente didática!
You can't have pi things either. All numbers exist only as abstract concepts. The term "imaginary" is a label that was derisively applied before we understood what was going on and which has unfortunately persisted. A complex number is just a point in the 2D plane. The real numbers are the points on the horizontal axis, the imaginary numbers are the points on the vertical axis. I don't think this is any less concrete than any our usual sense of what a number is.
Of course you can have pi of something! Take 3 whole things, and cut the fourth one in a correct way.
But you can use real numbers to count tangible objects, not so with imaginary numbers. This is why we differentiate between them. You're not wrong, but you're arguing against something not claimed.
jarlfenrir Technically, the Planck Length makes this impossible. Pi is infinitely small, our universe is not.
arcanics1971 How can you count tangible things with real numbers? What does it mean to have pi things?
We can't even technically count tangible things with natural number. When we count something, we give a physical quantity (an amount), which has the mol as its SI unit.
Nice hair
Your shirt has the melody for the intro music. Nice.
I just discovered this channel... I think it's great.
'i' does exsist in the real world. And you can have +/- 'i' in the real world.
This is used in electronics all the time. And is used for the phase difference in voltage and currents in inductors and capacitors.
I agree, i is basically shorthand for adding an extra dimension.
pretty sure gamelan puts emphasis on the last subdivision of the beat and on the last beat of the bar, can anyone confirm? (am aware they aren't called beats or bars)
yeah that's what i was thinking, although i kind of forgot what it's called
That's the way it was taught to me when i (briefly) joined a (Javanese) gamelan.
The rhythm of Javanese gamelan is subjective..but from my time there, the man on the TV is correct..the human mind finds a constant rhythm no matter where it is, but it is usually based on accents..if you started another riff on the quieter notes of gamelan it would phase to that rhythm which is why I want to create Hindu metal
Negative time signatures. Like when a musical artist records their piece of music, and the producer then mixes the song with that piece of music played backwards. The intro to Metallica's Blackened comes to mind. I'm sure there are more, and I'm sure that I've heard some others, but they are escaping my memory collecting efforts. However, Adam's description opened other previously locked musical doors for me just now. Thanks, Adam!
Great explanation Adam!
I'll be honest. I thought by his negative timing he meant counting like this 6-5-4-3-2-1 5-4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1- 3-2-1 2-1 1 then repeat. but I could be wrong, I'm not a good musician.
The end it just sounds like it's syncopated.
I love that your t-shirt is the theme to your videos. TAKE MY MONEY!!! 👾👾👾👾👾
Very interesting on where to put the definition of negative, on "time" or on "signature". The signature imo can be turned negative even though time is only moving forward in our general concept. And we haven't even mentioned dimensions yet...
Really loved that brainy discussion. :)

Incorrect. The undertone series does in fact exist in the real world and can be achieved on instruments. I’ve done some research, and according to the internet, “While overtones naturally occur with the physical production of music on instruments, undertones must be produced in unusual ways.” Try searching “Mari Kimura subharmonics” on TH-cam. She demonstrates playing notes below what is “physically possible” on the violin.
*reads title*
I beg your unbelievable pardon
i was thinking of negative time signatures earlier, its an interesting concept
Charlie Brown's Parents by Dishwalla instantly comes to mind for me with a 9-8-7-6-5-4-3 guitar riff leading into the chorus and it even kind of feels like it's playing backwards as you listen to it
