Yeah, someone should _definitely_ make a game like Mario Kart where every level is trippy 3D fractals and the music is microtonal EDM with seamless tempo changes.
@@greatwavefan397 Oh yes! But more variation is necessary. _Trees In The Depths Of The Earth_ has a nice Eastern tonality to it; we need even more different styles than that!
Starfish was the first time I've heard BPM being modulated in such a unique way instead of being a simple tempo change for a switch up. I love it so much
First time I heard that sort of thing was Shpongle (My Head Feels Like A Frisbee) - and it blew me away just hearing someone morph from 6/8 into 4/4 like that, which is quite a simple trick really. I've come a long way since then, and Starfish is a work of genius!
Its called a risset rhythm. This is the first time I've heard it in actual music and it perfectly fits the vibe. Its like shepards tone but with time itself, so cool
@@Sevish Oh, I never heard of Mandelbulber. Gonna have to check it out. And yes, Blender is a bigger time investment. However, it got a much-needed UI makeover with the v2.8 release and it's much more beginner-friendly than ever before.
@@Sevish WOW! I was actually correct, in thinking that you used Mandelbulber! (My 2nd guess was Mandelbulb 3D.) It's been QUITE some time, since I've done anything with fractals -- OR music! You TRULY inspire me! I'd LOVE to get back to making more music & fractals some time. Here's to wishing you a TOTALLY TERRIFIC 2021 (AND BEYOND)! ALL THE BEST, Ken :-)
Damnnn, literally every kind of divergence in this one. Microtonal stuff, odd time sigs, and then a got damn risset rhythem? What more could possibly be stuffed into one amazing song?
I am going to start my microtonal work here in Brazil. I am think seriously about naming the stile here as "Sevish" due to his great contributions to microtonal music around the world.
I've listened to Sevish so much over the past year that I can't tell anymore when I'm listening to microtonal music or traditional tuning, unless they go for that really discordant microtonal sound.
@Firstname Lastname yeah! I listen to a lot of prog rock too 😁 Sevish Is really good at making whacky time signatures sound normal, kinda like how most people dont notice the mission impossible theme is in 5/4

WOW....! this track is TOP NOTCH !!!!!!! subscribed, notifications on..... learning has become enjoyment !!!! i am a guitarist, turned to the "dark side"(synths)..... hahahahahaha........
this is one of my favorite tracks from the new album, no wonder with it being 22edo which is probably the most pleasant yet interesting tuning to my ears, about as consonant as 12edo het more opportune, not quite as jarring as 15edo but still offering porcupine and some nice septimal and undecimal intervals while supporting 5-limit tuning well, and with a similar amount of notes as 19edo but with many more possiblities
Maybe I'm one of the only people who's like "Wow this was created on Linux, using Bitwig and Zynfusion" I'm currently learning Bitwig as a old time Ableton user it's a bit funky, but that's what Linux is about. Great work.
I've watched this about five times in two days. I can't get enough of it! Maybe it's the sort of jazzy feel that the harmonies have. I'm not sure how you're selecting scale degrees to build chords, but I'm hearing things similar to parallel maj7 chords, which sort of reminds me of the soundtrack to Gregory's Girl (I'm old enough to remember that film, perhaps you aren't, haha!). Anyway, this is amazing work. I've followed you on Bandcamp.
@@stephenweigel Hey, thanks! I've just woken up so I'll make a note of that and try to understand it better later after a coffee :) Nice to hear from you, by the way - I've been enjoying working through the episodes of the Now and Xen podcast recently (I'm up to number 8).
I'm getting an audio interface soon so it should be easier for me to record this kind of video with voiceover in the future. I don't know a lot of theory, certainly not enough to teach it, but I should be able to break down some of the stuff that I'm doing.
@@Sevish okay thanks bc I would love to create some of my own stuff sometime in the future. I think your music great, but as a musician I always hear songs and think about what id do differently, I'd love to put my own twist onto this type of music and create my own sound with it. Thank you for introducing me to this type of music, because now I can't stop thinking about it lmao
There's actually a microtonal artist on bandcamp who's name is microwave64. He makes really good microtonal synthwave in tunings like 22edo, 31edo, and 53edo.
Man... how did you shift those drums at 2:15? Is that just shifting time sig. around or have you mucked with the tempo as well? It seems to be slowing down/speeding up and then changing to different rhythmic patterns but it's so disorienting I can't tell. This is a first listen to your music. I love it. You're really pushing the boundaries here, while keeping an aesthetic appeal which is super hard to do. Wtg!
I'm really interested in making a rhythm game chart to this song; is there any way you could give me a breakdown of the bpm changes for the shepherd's tone sort of part? or is it not integers? any help would be appreciated.
well, i just read another comment, and it seems you arent too sure either. still, anything would help, maybe if you could estimate the bpm on given beats or something? though that seems like a lot of effort, so dont stress too much haha
@@jeremt I'd love to see this in a rhythm game, actually I'm thinking about submitting it to the next Project OutFox Serenity pack. But someone is gonna need to do calculus to figure out how to convert the gradual BPM increase to a series of discrete changes. I'm not clever enough for that. Might just be easier to figure it out by trial and error
I love the alternating 3 and 2 sixteenth note against the quarter note in 10/4 I believe. It’s super strange, that took me a while to figure out. (Starting at 0:13) Let me know if this is right.
The ultimate mario kart level
Yeah, someone should _definitely_ make a game like Mario Kart where every level is trippy 3D fractals and the music is microtonal EDM with seamless tempo changes.
@@sebastiansimon7557 Like the Forest Cave level from Kirby Super Star?
It'd be cool just really odd
@@greatwavefan397 Oh yes! But more variation is necessary. _Trees In The Depths Of The Earth_ has a nice Eastern tonality to it; we need even more different styles than that!
@@sebastiansimon7557 I like singers who know how to be pitch _imperfect._

I love it so much
You should listen to Autechre
First time I heard that sort of thing was Shpongle (My Head Feels Like A Frisbee) - and it blew me away just hearing someone morph from 6/8 into 4/4 like that, which is quite a simple trick really. I've come a long way since then, and Starfish is a work of genius!
try "Fold4, Wrap5" by autechre
Its called a risset rhythm. This is the first time I've heard it in actual music and it perfectly fits the vibe. Its like shepards tone but with time itself, so cool
Getting more and more trippy with the anims, I'm enjoying this one-
*starts spinning*
oooOoOOOOo
Thanks~ I enjoy putting the anims together and they are hopefully a bit more interesting than a stock photo!
@@Sevish They're awesome! Do you use Blender to make them? Did you use CGMatter's "fractal" technique?
I haven't got my head around Blender yet, I would like to but it looks like a big time investment. These vids are done with Mandelbulber
@@Sevish Oh, I never heard of Mandelbulber. Gonna have to check it out.

Makes my head spin in the best possible way

"Sevish-ish"
Legal, boa sorte com o seu projeto
"Sevishcore" maybe? I think that sounds really good.
@@Cobalt985 Love it.
@@Cobalt985 i think sevcore or sevicore would work better
The breakdown at 2:15 is my favorite musical thing right now. Leaves me laughing every time. So fresh.
Glad to hear that. I love instrumental music that makes me laugh.

0:13 the cubes keep jumpscaring me
jeez 10/4 is an absolute jam
Indeed! I also noticed that the clapping rhythm starting at 0:30 loops over two whole bars of 10/4, I think it's really neat!
This song goes hard in at least six different dimensions
Very cool, the 5 against 4 feel is sick as well.
Pairing the sudden spinning up with the switch from just to undecimal harmony at 1:34 was genius
This is the doorway into the fractal universe
that we live in
Wooow!!! The colors created during the tempo changing is amazing. The music video really REALLY complements the sounds as well.
誰でもない、オリジナリティとテクニック、唯一無二。
New year, new microtonal groove.
Really liked the part from 2:15 with variable percussion speeds!
Everyone enjoys a good audiovisual hallucination!
I love the time speed up/slow down. Sevish you are a mad genius
this song always blows my mind... great stuff
Thank you!
At the end, was expecting the little guy to hop up and bust a move
Bruh the ending is so fucking sad and profound when you're tripping. Masterful work.
Man it’s been over a year since I tripped last and the ending immediately gave me intense flashbacks lol
One of my favorite tracks from the album!
Holy SHIT this bangs, excited to hear the rest of this album! 🔥🔥🔥

kinda sucks that I missed the listening party because I was asleep :( but oh well
@@metachirality hi
My brain hurts
Wow I'm so happy to see other people are inspired by this music too!!!! Sevish, I'm happy you're here to share with us.
Fantastic! This seems like something from the old Amiga demoscene. Yet better! It makes me happy and inspired. 😊❤
You are making exactly the kind of music I want to hear, keep up the awesome work
Already saved on spotify
Some xenharmonic love from italy
I really appreciate that Lorenzo thanks. Would love to visit Italy some time - not now obviously :)
@@Sevish you're welcome anytime, after it's all over
I would also like to express some Italian xenharmonic love - great song!
I don't have words to express how much I freaking love and how killer this is. You have my most sincere gratitude
I love this damn song, very nice and upbeat
That rhythm! Ah! My heart! 🥲❤️
ALSO: I covered this with 22 22-tone guitars on my channel :)
Great music! Loved those last 50 Stockhausen-esque seconds
Your tracks are a great source of inspiration for me. Thank you and I hope you continue.
outstanding, thank you so much
So much menger sponge. Great music!
5/4 sublime
The tempo modulation is crazy! Awesome, you have so many great ideas and I haven't heard 1 composition in which you put too much of them at once
This sound so well produced! 👍
Thanks, I'm still learning
wonderful!!!
Thank you! I checked out some of your music, it's super interesting and intense sounding
@@Sevish Thank you 😊
It will be encouraging.

wowow super well done tempo automation
This song sounds like a starfish.
_"No, this is Patrick!"_

YES NEW SEVISH MUSIC
I definitely find this more satisfying than the 12edo version 😄. Sick! Love the percussion too
fantastic as always
amazing work as always!
The future year of 2021.
