    Sounds very different from the recording I've heard. I guess things like the lengths of the cables, closeness to the speakers and a number of other factors can totally change the way this piece sounds.

    • @whitey138
      @whitey138 8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Robert Wilks The cable length doesn't really have much to do with the frequency that a mic feeds back (unless it's a really poor quality cable and then the noise piles up fast). Different mics and speakers all feed back at different frequencies regardless of the distance but they used the same speakers and mics for all four tones so I'm guessing it was intentionally EQed this way.

    • @johnrenner1506
      @johnrenner1506 7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      The length of the pendulum determines the period of its oscillation. The dimensions of the room and the distance from the microphone to the speaker affect the frequency of the feedback. As the angle that the pendulum moves through decreases, the period stays the same but the mic spends more time in proximity to the speaker. And then the doppler effect is what ultimately gives you that slide between pitches.
      Sorry, I mostly wrote that for myself. This one sounds much different from the original because it looks like they took the time to do a lot of calculations in positioning everything so that the result would actually be in a key

    Music is nothing but an art form whose medium is sound. If you say this isn't music, then there can be no music. Simply because there is no carefully considered choice of chords or words or rhythms does not make it any less viable than anything else. Instead of creating a finite, individual song, Reich's created an infinitely variable concept that can be played by literally anyone.
    Isn't that simply stunning? Without any professional training, just a very basic explanation, you can play a piece of music that encompasses a highly advanced concept, that of chaos? The same goes for John Cage's "4:33" that I've seen mentioned below. That piece should never be "performed" by an individual, just showcased to a participating audience. This is still groundbreaking now, 57 years after its' creation. That says a lot.

    • @KBC7050
      @KBC7050 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Of course it is music, but to say it's good music or impressive music is something that the public mind I think tells you the most about. That public hasn't changed its opinion. Art snobs will always be art snobs, and tell you that anything can have a profound meaning as long as you attach the right story to it. The artist can do what it wants, but this piece doesn't enlighten me in the slightest.

    • @ollimoore
      @ollimoore 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Torchkas-alt I personally would say this piece is more about being interested in the sound and the effects of chance than enlightenment. Not aware of a profound story or message attached to it either. Which isn't to say you need to like it of course, it's a matter of personal taste.
      It's not unheard of for members of the public to spend untold sums of money to watch their idol lip sync their way through a song they didn't write. You'll forgive me if I make my own mind up.

    I see a lot of nay-sayers, and all I want to say is the idea was from-19 bloody-68. Call it what you want, but there is at least genuine novelty to be had here. The arbitrary universal laws of motion, the phase incoherence, the one-shot chaotic element... Its more stage art than music, but sheesh, in the meantime all we're fed are samples of the late n' greats under obvious 2/4 phrases marred by forced rhyme. I think I'd rather listen to this (done infinite times with varying distances and pitches through the speakers ect) than the radio. If all I get anyway is soulless, I'd rather hear an interpretation of the universe. PS, at least Reich didn't try to copyright silence, lol.

    • @KBC7050

      I think this doesn't have soul. This snobby "endless experimentation" that got kickstarted in the late 19th century doesn't have any more soul than the modern music business does. Steve Reich's music is designed to give an impressive or intrigued emotion, but it doesn't last. The art itself doesn't actually have any substantial meaning from Reich's part. He just did it because endless experimentation is art. There's no emotion or soul put into this, even if you can think of countless of descriptions after the fact, that doesn't matter anymore. I'll take minimalism and the ability of an artist to limit themselves over this pretentious snobbery any day. I'll agree that radio is probably not much better than this, but that doesn't say much.

    • @samwise2588
      @samwise2588 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      In many ways I agree with you. Unsurprisingly I feel a little different a year after I wrote that. No, Steve did not put any "emotion" or "soul" into it. This is more like the musical equivalent to a Jackson Pollock or a Rorschach, where if done a million times *could* get a million different emotions out of you, the viewer. It's kinda like the old Sufi mystic proverb... "Who is the great sage who makes all the grass green." You, my friend, are the one who makes meaning out of static.

    Why does anyone say this isn't music? Sounds like it's got a pretty clear beat and melody to me, it sounds a lot like early electronic music, which I guess is exactly what it is. Yeah, the melody and rhythm aren't in the score for the music and it not only changes with each performance but over the course of the piece, but so what? Something that is easy to identify as music emerges from the piece, and so it is music.

    +lulubelle padieu each of speakers placed pointing upwards on the floor is connected to the microphone which hangs directly above it. As the microphone swings past the speaker it creates a feedback loop which produces the sound you hear, as the speaker swings away the loop is effectively broken and the sound stops. The longer a microphone spends directly above it's own speaker, the longer the feedback sound will be heard.

      David Dalmazzo Watch the outermics. They're very close in period and thus appear to be one voice, but the small difference in frequency creates a sort of glissando between the two voices that is strong enough to create the sound if one voice with a sort of sliding dynamic.

    • @iandoesallthethings
      @iandoesallthethings 9 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      +c0rv377 That's sort of the blank canvas performer approach. Steve Reich wrote a duet to be performed by gravity and inertia themselves. The humans are secondary to the performance. So they stay quiet and blank inorder to let the mechanism itself perform.
      Either that or they're just stuck up orchestral types. :)

    Just because it's an idea.
    But not all music
    That I don't want to hear again
    Is bad music.

    Interesting random music experience. This type of «musiqie» brings us back perhaps to the origins of the very first musical creations of our distant ancestors. Up to a certain point, this type of sound material makes me think of «prinitive» music, that said without pejorative intention, which musical ethnologists have made possible to make discover to the general public, through the intermediary of certain peoples who practice or had practiced this kind of music. It is perhaps a matter of updating the genesis of all music, up to ours. This being said, it is likely that I overstepped the composer’s intention. It would have been relevant to know his point of view on this subject..

    It's nice how the tempo doesn't change but the 'notes' get stretched.
    This is due to the fact that an ideal pendulum doesn't change frequency.
    Is there a digital version of this effect? I don't think there is.

    • @oed84
      @oed84 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      rick moranis fantacist the microphones all have the same frequency characteristics and pick-up pattern, so they will normally produce a similar sound. however, when you apply EQ to the microphone-signal, you can alter it's frequency-response. note that there are no high pitched tones audible. this strongly suggests that the amplified signal has been modified, through the use of an equalizer, which is used to either cut or boost frequencies from the audible spectrum.
