@randomlygeneratedusername Hello there, actually it's the first time i reference whiplash. I understand a comment like this is very tedious for you. Now, since we're on the topic of youtube comments i have two questions for you: have you reflected on why you made that comment, and how it might affect others? Regardless, enjoy the video.

No. Vsauce just clumps together vaguely related things without rhyme or reason, it feels like clicking through Wikipedia and a few minutes later no longer knowing how you got there and why. Adam presents an argument, a logical chain of claims and evidence.
Siana Gearz Try watching the videos more than once. Especially in the most recent ones, all the stuff that seems random is cleverly related in one way or another.
Raymond Hon His style is definetely more in depth and analytic, but I think Vsauce has much better presentation and instills a sense of wonder and curiosity. I like both channels and think comparing them it's a apples and oranges case
Daft Punk used this effect very cleverly at the end of “Giorgio by Moroder” on Random Access Memories. They used (what sounds like) an 808 kick drum played so quickly it sounds like a synth. Then, as it slows down, you start to notice the intervals until they finally slow it enough that it sounds like a 808 kick being played at around 80bpm or so. It’s gotta be one of my favorite endings to a song...
The fact that it's connecting back to the click track that starts the song and the broader theme of the history of dance music and electronic instruments is also brilliant. Truly one of their masterpieces of song making.
@Willem De Veroveraar There is, its a genre of music called extratone, which is a more extreme version of speedcore. it's called extra tone because the beats of the bass get so fast they turn into an "extra tone". music of this genre is played at 1000 bpm or higher! a good song in this category is "uranoid" by Daibarha. there are also more extreme versions of extra tone, the fastest genre is called hypertone, this genre contains the fastest music known to man, and the fastest song in this genre is 25,000,000 BPM! the song's name is "Crooked Smiles" by Murrosity, an example of the bpm is at around 0:13, although its present all throughout the song. I recommend looking into these genres more because there's a chance you might like some, so give it a try. also FYI there's a middle ground genre called ultratone you should check out as well.
haha and here I had always assumed Casey Niestat would be the first youtuber I would run across in New York ... BTW if you're ever looking for a trumpet player on short notice I'm your man
I'm an audio engineer. If you're interested, there's a concept called the Haas Effect, wherein two sonic phenomena occurring within 50ms or less from each other are perceived as the same sound. There's a pretty good article about it by Produce Like a Pro if you want to know more.
Aphex Twin released an album called "Richard D. James Album" in 1996. The first song on that album is titled " 4 ", and it features a sound that quickly mutates back and forth between a series of beats and a single continuous tone. The effect is incredibly catchy. It's a great song.
This video is amazing for the sole reason that it covers both bases of what is music and what is ability but takes note that they clearly are NOT the same thing and should not be confused as one or the other. Definitely worth the time to watch. :D
yes But I know a certain violinist who can play faster, and it’s not lingling, it’s Leonidas Kavakos. I’m sure you know which piece and specific performance I’m talking about.
I like extratone, it feels nice. Ending bars/beats/rhythms very slightly early can give a similar effect and make things feel really fast too, and combining different time signatures/tempos at the same time can make it feel like they're part of a faster tempo/time signature that includes both.
Raleigh Singleton well, if you think about it, when one plays a brass instrument, each vibration coming from their embouchure could be a separate note, we just don't hear each sound wave individually. Since the vibrations are faster than 50 ms, we only hear a whole note. Hm. That's a thought.
Nope. Extratone (subgenre of Hardcore/Gabber) is the fastest ever. And Doomcore (also a subgenre of Hardcore/Gabber) Can even get as slow as 1 bpm. [1BPM Doomcore???] Low Entropy - Creeping Doom
ASDRION TM Yeah, that term is confusing because hardcore techno and hardcore punk are totally different to begin with. So here we have 2 sub/microgenres called the same thing.
John Cage's As Slow As Possible is currently playing on an automated organ and is programmed to last until well into the second half of our millennium. You could argue however if it's really music rather than just an artistic statement. I'm fairly sure Adam mentioned 4'33 in a previous video, of which similar things could be said in my opinion. I've never heard either being performed so I can't really say much about it first hand, but the way I see it it's rather a kind of statement, similar in a way to Duchamp's fountain or Malevitch's black square. Both are provoking and make the spectator think about what art really is, and by perceiving it that way we the spectator make it into art. Either way, it makes it challenging to define what art (or music in this case) really is.
Obviously the fastest music humanly possible with no editing whatsoever would be a large band with hundreds of parts where each instrument is manipulated to play at intervals which together causes a song to sounds extremely fast. Feel free to read the rest but it's boring: Example: Imagine you have three different people to sing the ABCs. Person 1 says ADGJMPSVY, person 2 says BEHKNQTWZ, and person 3 says CFILORUX. Timed perfectly, they are able to sing the ABCs faster than the average person alone. The way this works is similar to how clapping works. Just one person can't clap that many times per second. They'll probably be able to clap decently fast but not super fast. Now, if two people are clapping there is twice as many claps per second.
Emil Johansson ^^ this. Lord Marco (brain drill) has a drum video at 420bpm, Simone arconda piras 370, and Wanja groger 380, but they are just quick blast beats and rolls.
Our brains understand fast notes not as singles notes going too fast, but as one single pitched note. We call it "texture". Hear Aphex Twin, a eletronic musician that works beatifully with this subject and other ones too, like polyrhythm and microtones.
Question for adam, could a piece of music in theory be in key with it's tempo? is there any examples of this being done and would a listener be able to perceive any connection.
Bob_Dole Songs could be in tune with their tempo if the pitch of their tonal centre could be wholly divided by their BPM (as BPM + Frequency can be easily calculated in relation to each other as Adam showed). For example, 120BPM is 0.5hZ as it involves two beats (or 'cycles' every second. That means any frequency in a sequence of successive powers of 2 would be 'in tune' with 120BPM, such as 1024hz which is actually the note C6. We would never be able to hear that 'being in tune' however because as Adam also demonstrated there is a threshold where rhythm becomes pitch and we can't distinguish one as being the other beyond that threshold. It's just a perceptual impossibility.
0:36 Mike Mangini has actually gotten 1,247 single strokes in a minute. He doesn't hold the world record though, because he asked to get his original 1,203 reinstated to see if anyone could beat it.
That's part of the appeal of drum and bass music. The drum and bass that most appealed to me were tracks that had the absolutely frantic snare and hi hat sounds with slow languid washes of synth chords over the top. Your brain and ear were all over the shop trying to follow it. Great stuff!!!
Just for fun, listen to a 50hz square wave on a pair of headphones for a few minutes. At the point you take the headphones off, there's some pretty strange audio artifacts / brain glitch events that happen. I say 50hz just as an average crossover point between beat and tone, play around with what works for you. Never had a chance to experiment with it further, but it's worth experiencing, if not looking into a bit more deeply. Also if you try it, let me know, cause I'm not totally sure if it's just a personal thing. Never could get any of my friends to put up with these sorts of shenanigans to find out for myself.
I just did this out of curiosity, and when I took my headphones off, I had about 10 seconds of living in a robot world.You know how it sounds when you talk through a fan? Everything sounded like that. I laughed and my voice was like ha-A-a-A-a-Ahhh
Ah that's awesome you tried it! I think it has something to do with desensitizing the certain brain mechanism involved with stitching together near-frequency data, but like I said, never had the chance to look into it. Either way, that made my day. All the thanks.
I agree. Music can be seen that way, without question. My favorite music goes beyond the physical/mental realm, into the emotional, and maybe even the spiritual. If it is merely an exercise to improve speed, or some other skill, I would still hope to feel the music, somehow, someway. The people that laughed at your observance may learn the truth someday.
Amanda - Steven Hearrell - Music is NOT maths. Music is emotions. You can always analyze anything (including music and emotions) using math. But that's not the purpose of music. This is why your teacher laughed when you said "music IS math".
@@sunk6478 - Math is related to music the way math is related to anything you can think of: the shape of a raindrop, a snow crystal or a even a turd…. Like I said, you can relate anything with math, but MATH IS NOT MUSIC. The purpose of music is emotional.
8:06 after speeding it up it started to sound like some motor scythe, chainsaw or whatever But before that it sounded something more like an old tractor engine at the/right after the start-up, which to me honestly sounds more like separate strokes/beats than continuous pitch
7:50 That's honestly really cool. So, technically, if you have an above average _lower pitch perception boundary_ (meaning you can hear notes lower than the average person), you have a below average perception of super quick notes, and vice versa.
I know very little about music theory, I'm a guitarist that mainly plays rock, alt metal, and country/folk, I know almost nothing about jazz, but I absolutely love this channel and how it goes in depth with its topics. Through this channel I've learned a lot of musical theory jargon so that I can almost sound like I know what I'm talking about when talking about music with friends😂
Ive been watching a few of your videos because of your review/commentary of Whiplash. I am positively surprised you know Venetian Snares and Extratone as a schooled Jazz Musician. Fantastic :) You are clearly looking beyond your own genre. I love that.
> I am positively surprised you know Venetian Snares and Extratone as a schooled Jazz Musician. I m super surprised too. he deserved a sub for that alone!
Perhaps the rhythm/pitch threshold might be pushed faster by playing not the same note successively, but an arpeggio or melody? The bluegrass example has already shown us that musicians can play at faster tempos by honing in on certain rhythmic positions; this might also be a way for audiences to perceive music at faster and faster tempos.
Karplusstrong if you play arpeggios fast enough they just sound like whole chord tones rather than fast sequences, a fun way to make monophonic sequencers play 'chords'
you might get a few more BPM but once you're in pitch land, changing the note of each slice just becomes granular synthesis. have a listen to Polyverse's plugin "I Wish" for how this effect sounds
Look up the Victor Feldman version of "Bebop" by Dizzy Gillespie, it's at about 400 bpm. (When you listen to this, keep in mind Victor Feldman is blind, and listen to Scott LaFaro's bassline).
@@RichMBraithwaiteFive Some live recordings of anthropology by Bird are pushing 400bpm, more importantly he's improvising. There is one studio version of Sonny Stitt playing I know that you know(not the tenor version with Gillespie and Rollins) on alto sax which is the fastest piece of studio recorded jazz I've heard. That is certainly close on 400bpm.
The moment you brought up George Kollias, I couldn’t help but think that if you’ve ever listened to Nile, you would already know that he truly is the champion of drumming. Lol.
@@monalisadabbing7491 from what i heard kollias is the fastest drummer of a commercial succesfull (metal)band. He has doublebass only videos wich are faster, i'm not sure if he has faster songs
Adam, what do you think about making a video centered around metal (the sudden curiosity came from you including Nile into the video, so cool)? This is a great video btw!
Jarzombek is definitely something I want him to dissect. I think he would explain the 12 tone cycle better or at least dumb it down for people like me.
I saw the name Jarzombek, and I immidiately clicked on this comment section... this guy.... this... this guy...is INSANLY GOOD, spastic ink, blotted science, watchtower, spiral architect....
have you ever seen anything from indoor percussion ensembles? they have an entire group of marching drummers and keyboard(as in marimba, vibraphone, etc) performing a 7 minute show at tempos approaching 240bpm. it’s pretty impressive
That was very interesting. Electronic music is going to challenge a lot of things. Singing faster than humanly possible for minutes at a time without pausing for breath, etc.

Giant Step is hard, but not quite fast.
Question for adam, could a piece of music in theory be in key with it's tempo? is there any examples of this being done and would a listener be able to perceive any connection.
Bob_Dole Songs could be in tune with their tempo if the pitch of their tonal centre could be wholly divided by their BPM (as BPM + Frequency can be easily calculated in relation to each other as Adam showed). For example, 120BPM is 0.5hZ as it involves two beats (or 'cycles' every second. That means any frequency in a sequence of successive powers of 2 would be 'in tune' with 120BPM, such as 1024hz which is actually the note C6. We would never be able to hear that 'being in tune' however because as Adam also demonstrated there is a threshold where rhythm becomes pitch and we can't distinguish one as being the other beyond that threshold. It's just a perceptual impossibility.
ahh obviously that means any C is in tune with 120BPM as you make octaves by dividing or multiplying a frequency by two (i.e. the powers of 2 series)
Karlheinz Stockhausen has experimented with that but nobody was able to perceive it.
Could you point us to some videos if there are any?

High of tempo
High on speed!
That tempo is too loud bro
The dankest tempo
Had to remember to turn off 2x speed for this video.

you beat me to it ...
I beat my dick to it
Don't do it man.
"low throbbing hum..."
azagthoth Ai just got to that part then read your comment
The guy at 2:11 his earlobes are jiggling all over the place when he drums haha
CamBen that’s because they’re earrings...
why XD
life is strange
I SEE CHLOE, I LIKE
Was that a manequin that commented this?
0:36 Mike Mangini has actually gotten 1,247 single strokes in a minute. He doesn't hold the world record though, because he asked to get his original 1,203 reinstated to see if anyone could beat it.
Rhoam Yeah but that's Mike fucking Mangini. That man does nothing but playing drums, he never misses a beat and plays drumrolls with one hand
ur bass lessons intro makes me so happy every time i hear it its just perfect
I like the cat.
That's part of the appeal of drum and bass music. The drum and bass that most appealed to me were tracks that had the absolutely frantic snare and hi hat sounds with slow languid washes of synth chords over the top. Your brain and ear were all over the shop trying to follow it. Great stuff!!!

if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly ;)

Now, with 15 notes a second!
Ling Ling could play a rhythm as fast as pitch is perceived one-handed on a violin while writing calculus and balancing on a unicycle
Make a nightcore of the fastest song.
actually it has a lot of room for that
That TH-cam Critic Nightcore is not weeb lol

The TH-cam Critic = Butthurt to the extreme.

I might be crazy, but when you mentioned the Weber Fraction you started to slightly pitch shift your video.
I think.
Dammit, now I have to go watch that part again.
placebo effect..........
or is it?
ITS SPED UP....... I thin k.
I have me some Brain Drill to get me awake again!
Rhythm Gamers: Nah ah ah, not so fast!
What is the fastest music humanly possible?

Amazing
Just for fun, listen to a 50hz square wave on a pair of headphones for a few minutes. At the point you take the headphones off, there's some pretty strange audio artifacts / brain glitch events that happen. I say 50hz just as an average crossover point between beat and tone, play around with what works for you.
Never had a chance to experiment with it further, but it's worth experiencing, if not looking into a bit more deeply.
Also if you try it, let me know, cause I'm not totally sure if it's just a personal thing. Never could get any of my friends to put up with these sorts of shenanigans to find out for myself.
I just did this out of curiosity, and when I took my headphones off, I had about 10 seconds of living in a robot world.You know how it sounds when you talk through a fan? Everything sounded like that. I laughed and my voice was like ha-A-a-A-a-Ahhh
Ah that's awesome you tried it! I think it has something to do with desensitizing the certain brain mechanism involved with stitching together near-frequency data, but like I said, never had the chance to look into it.
Either way, that made my day. All the thanks.
And my teacher and class laughed when I said music is math
I agree.
Music can be seen that way, without question.
My favorite music goes beyond the physical/mental realm, into the emotional, and maybe even the spiritual.
If it is merely an exercise to improve speed, or some other skill, I would still hope to feel the music, somehow, someway.
The people that laughed at your observance may learn the truth someday.
Amanda - Steven Hearrell - Music is NOT maths. Music is emotions. You can always analyze anything (including music and emotions) using math. But that's not the purpose of music. This is why your teacher laughed when you said "music IS math".
@@kiangillespie2247 - Yes I'm a musician. Yes i did study music theory. No music is NOT maths. Music is music and math is math.
We can't say they have nothing related though
@@sunk6478 - Math is related to music the way math is related to anything you can think of: the shape of a raindrop, a snow crystal or a even a turd…. Like I said, you can relate anything with math, but MATH IS NOT MUSIC. The purpose of music is emotional.
8:06 after speeding it up it started to sound like some motor scythe, chainsaw or whatever
But before that it sounded something more like an old tractor engine at the/right after the start-up, which to me honestly sounds more like separate strokes/beats than continuous pitch
Before it sounds like a hello caliber machine gun ish
Wait a minute, this is Vsauce, and you aren't Micheal!
Folix Foxtrot why so low? Here take a reply! 0/
I'm happy you brought up Venetian Snares
and mike glozier! he has a few good covers on his channel
7:50 That's honestly really cool. So, technically, if you have an above average _lower pitch perception boundary_ (meaning you can hear notes lower than the average person), you have a below average perception of super quick notes, and vice versa.
Its a tradeoff. On one hand, I can hear (although just barely) the open C on the octobasse. Unfortunately I can't hear really fast rhythms as well.
I wonder what the world would sound like if we heard all rhythms as pitches or all pitches as rhythms.
I know very little about music theory, I'm a guitarist that mainly plays rock, alt metal, and country/folk, I know almost nothing about jazz, but I absolutely love this channel and how it goes in depth with its topics. Through this channel I've learned a lot of musical theory jargon so that I can almost sound like I know what I'm talking about when talking about music with friends😂
Ive been watching a few of your videos because of your review/commentary of Whiplash.
I am positively surprised you know Venetian Snares and Extratone as a schooled Jazz Musician.
Fantastic :)
You are clearly looking beyond your own genre.
I love that.
> I am positively surprised you know Venetian Snares and Extratone as a schooled Jazz Musician.
I m super surprised too. he deserved a sub for that alone!
Perhaps the rhythm/pitch threshold might be pushed faster by playing not the same note successively, but an arpeggio or melody? The bluegrass example has already shown us that musicians can play at faster tempos by honing in on certain rhythmic positions; this might also be a way for audiences to perceive music at faster and faster tempos.
Karplusstrong if you play arpeggios fast enough they just sound like whole chord tones rather than fast sequences, a fun way to make monophonic sequencers play 'chords'
*synthesizers
you might get a few more BPM but once you're in pitch land, changing the note of each slice just becomes granular synthesis. have a listen to Polyverse's plugin "I Wish" for how this effect sounds
Look up the Victor Feldman version of "Bebop" by Dizzy Gillespie, it's at about 400 bpm. (When you listen to this, keep in mind Victor Feldman is blind, and listen to Scott LaFaro's bassline).
Reuben Stump what about Charlie Parker? He must've played a few tunes like Cherokee at about 400 bpm.
@@RichMBraithwaiteFive Some live recordings of anthropology by Bird are pushing 400bpm, more importantly he's improvising. There is one studio version of Sonny Stitt playing I know that you know(not the tenor version with Gillespie and Rollins) on alto sax which is the fastest piece of studio recorded jazz I've heard. That is certainly close on 400bpm.
Play 15 notes a second like a sacreligious boi
Human music... I like it!

Overrated cartoon
The moment you brought up George Kollias, I couldn’t help but think that if you’ve ever listened to Nile, you would already know that he truly is the champion of drumming. Lol.
Ever heard of Francesco Paoli? Dude can practice 260bpm while freaking sleeping.
I fucking love Nile so you can imagine how exited i got when i heard about uncle Goarge
@@monalisadabbing7491 from what i heard kollias is the fastest drummer of a commercial succesfull (metal)band. He has doublebass only videos wich are faster, i'm not sure if he has faster songs
Adam, what do you think about making a video centered around metal (the sudden curiosity came from you including Nile into the video, so cool)? This is a great video btw!
Adam Nile-y, hehe
I'd be interested in his thoughts on Blotted Science and the boundaries between the different aesthetic purposes of music and metal
Max Jonas Knaver YES! blotted science up this bitch
Jarzombek is definitely something I want him to dissect. I think he would explain the 12 tone cycle better or at least dumb it down for people like me.
I saw the name Jarzombek, and I immidiately clicked on this comment section... this guy.... this... this guy...is INSANLY GOOD, spastic ink, blotted science, watchtower, spiral architect....
have you ever seen anything from indoor percussion ensembles? they have an entire group of marching drummers and keyboard(as in marimba, vibraphone, etc) performing a 7 minute show at tempos approaching 240bpm. it’s pretty impressive

Best Extratone track to me is Aekhloria - The Lost Temple 2012. But they talked in the video about the fastest HUMANLY possible music.

Those dudes are some impressive musicians. Blistering fast riffs and drums. Sad to hear Tomasso left the band though. :'(
Hell yeah but dont forget about archspire
Giansk Aguilar infant annihilator - soil the stillborn 320bpm
Also check out Henker. The drummer plays at 400 to an insane 600 bpm at times.
grandolddrummer quadrople pedal, it's like cheating
That was very interesting. Electronic music is going to challenge a lot of things. Singing faster than humanly possible for minutes at a time without pausing for breath, etc.
Glad you mentioned George Kollias and Nile. Such an amazing Band
Yup.
