It's amazing how much you do for the music community. So much free information organised into concise and entertaining videos. I've learnt so much over the years and feel like I never had to "study", just watch entertaining videos.
starting at 6:05 the amount of editing correlating with visuals and then audio plus to mention the emotions expressed simultaneously is extremely impressive. *hands applauding*
0:25 someone finally freaking said it. And doesn't surprise me it's coming from the one youtube music persona who writes odd rhythms but makes it actually sound like it is musical.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sungazer. The rhythms are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory most of the songs will go over a typical listener's head.
you have no idea how much it pleases me to see this broken down for viewers in a manner that simplifies the misuse of this term. Ive had this conversation more times this year than I could possibly remember and now I can just send this link instead. Nailed it.
Holy, I love some of the random sprinkles of over the top or unexpected editing (like 3:02 where another Andrew passes the goddamn butter or 6:05 where everything just hits differently)!
If you are using Studio One, then you can apply the 2nd or non-time consuming method 8:08 (both audio and midi) although the particular two (or more sounds) need to be on different tracks. I will be using the order of tracks as given in the video for my examples and methods. For Midi, arrange the notes in the way that Mr. Andrew has instructed you to 8:12 (on different tracks in S1 of course). Now Time Stretch the midi event of the longer track so that the last note is at the very start of the next bar (somewhat like the instructions here 8:31). It is quite the same for audio, with a few changes. For audio, follow the first step used for the midi track. Now merge the 2nd track and bounce to new track. Then Time Stretch it so that the start of last sound of the bounced out event is at the very start of the next bar. I hope you found this useful! (Please pardon my mistakes in my English if there are any, as I'm not a Native Speaker) [Also a huge thanks to you Mr. Andrew as I did not understand the difference between Polymeters and Polyrhythm until today]
The editing in this one was incredible, Andrew. The best part by far, for me, was the simultaneously functional and visually striking typography using the font alignment. Genius.
As a drummer love this video and how oversimplified - in a good way this is. Took me about 50mins of youtube videos to understand 4:3 and you did it in 30 seconds haha
hey, you can hold down shift to drag the grey marker with the notes selected staying intact. that way you can do note transformations without needing to add an extra note.
I have no idea if I'll ever end up using polymeters or polyrhythms all that much but I just love to learn about a new topic with the way you explain things so clearly. Keep killin it man!
Some good polymeter examples are The Accolade by Symphony X, at 7:27, The Architect by Haken, at the 7:13 mark, What Happens Now by Porcupine Tree, at 5:02, and, basically, the entre Meshuggah's discography is based on polyrhythms and polymeters, usually at the same time. So, have fun.
Bro, I love your channel. It fucking crushes man. I've learned so much from you. You're literally the definition of how to be an educator in the 21st century. Straight up, you're better than any educator ive ever scene in university. Mad props.
Anyone else facepalm hard watching this... The number of times I've referred to polymeter as polyrhythm! You've just explained it in such a clear, concise and coherent way. Thanks, Andrew.
Awww... that’s so cute 😂 Fryderyk did make a lot of pretty emo comments, including: "It is not my fault if I am like a mushroom which seems edible but which poisons you if you pick it and taste it, taking it to be something else,"
5:45 I'm high af, but this editing was like my brain going into overload! Ive never heard the natural rhythms I feel be so well explained like this. WoW!!!
Going deeper into the math-rock, the "djent" subsubgenre of progressive metal can very much be about that - whether it be Meshuggah's "New Millenium Cyanide Christ" (23/16 on 4/4), or TesseracT's "Palingenesis" (13/8 on 3/4). Also if you want another "spoken word polyrhythm", 5:4 can have the phrase "go to bed, go upstairs to bed".
i listen to a lot of mathy stuff but meshuggah are the gods of polyrhythmic/polymetric metal as far as i'm concerned, no one else commits to it like them
@@patrickcompton1483 Indian Classical Music is one of the most complicated musical systems in the world. I am particularly a fan of the Raga Bhairav :)
I've been really into polyrhythms for a while and then I found out about polymetres and was so confused on the difference. I tried reading up on both on them to compare the two but u just got more confused. This video popped up in my recommended and oh my gosh, it all makes so much sense to me now!!! Thank you so much for the super clear and simple video!! Polyrhythms are just measure-consistent whereas polymetres are beat-consistent!!! omg it all clicks in my brain now!!!
I was in Drumline in high school, and now that I write music a little, I find that I do this somewhat naturally, so thank you Andrew for giving some reason to it.
That tiny detail of explaining the difference between both concepts by animating their respective name (3:07) in a way that visually reflects their audible properties is the entire reason I watch educational TH-cam content. Like I'm never gonna forget the difference between these two things now thanks to that. Great stuff as always, Andrew! :D edit: fixed timestamp
As a Brazilian person myself I instantly identified the tambourine sound and rhythm and expected you to say something about Brazilian music! Very interesting to know that you used to play samba Andrew :)
Don't know anything about making music or music theory , but listening to you talking about that stuff is kind of relaxing , and makes listening to music more interesting for me. And Long gone is such a good song , for getting a good mood. Thank you Andrew :3
Not only are you clearly a talented musician, but I'm always struck by the creativity of your filming and especially editing. Always educational, inspiring, and entertaining!
I was literally working with one of my students yesterday on this subject. Doing 3:2 (and subdividing them) in order to feel triplets by switching between compound and meter mode (like "America" in WSS). Thank you for doing this, I now have a perfect go-to for when I need a good explainer.
My new favorite thing is poly phrases: For example, putting a 4-measure melody over a 3-measure chord progression, so the chords shift every time the phrase repeats
Not quite. Everything in the same time signature, but one part is playing three-bar phrases and one is playing four-bar phrases. It's a lot more subtle than polymeter when you listen to it.
Fair... I guess I'm just saying that if you keep your polymeter in multiples of an underlying time signature, it stops sounding like polymeter and sounds like something else, which is less in-your-face
Interesting to have this distinction made because I am realizing the song that introduced me to the concept of polyrhythm also uses polymeter, and alternates back and forth between the two on piano. Bemoan by Agent Fresco. Makes for great piano exercise. You alternate between doing a 5/4 poly meter (1-2-3-4-5 and 1-5-3-5) to doing the same 1-5-3-5 pattern with both hands but with a 4/3 polyrhythm
Gustav Holst, 2nd Suite in F, the 4th Movement. There's a section where the brass is playing in 3/4, and the woodwinds are playing in 6/8, the conductor leads on the downbeat of each measure. Really cool polyrhythm all the way back in High School band.
I had exactly the same thought. Saw him do it and concluded "our brains are just different". But then he gave the vocal phrase trick and it just worked right away for me.
Another similar system is 'phasing' à la Steve Reich. The system that he originally used was to play the same sound on a group of tape players that are set to playback at slightly different speeds, producing massively long polyrhythms that don't match up for the whole length of the piece - this can take half an hour or more to complete. The latest method that I've been using to get this effect in Ableton Live 10 is to create a midi clip in arrangement view for each voice. I freeze and flatten each track at a different tempo for each track (calculated so that they each complete after a specific time), turn off Warp and loop each clip. This produces some very interesting rhythms.
@@00042 The first piece recorded was Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" and anything by Reich with the 'phase' in the title. The method I mentioned above was used on my piece "Phased Serialism 2020" (the other pieces used different recording methods) and can be found on my Soundcloud . The Wikipedia article, that also contains some more examples of phasing, is at .
So let me get this straight... Polymeter: we chew at the same pace but have different amounts of food and can eat leisurely Polyrhythm: same orders but the restaurant closes in a bit so get to eating? --- edit: spaced on the english
Awesome that you played with a Brazilian samba group! My college had a Brazilian music ensemble and it got me playing a variety of Brazilian music genres. Great video.
I’d actually never thought about mixing rhythms like this before but they seem like some great tools for adding a varied flavor to music compositions. Plus I’ll be sure to correctly distinguish the two as your descriptions were very helpful.
Excellent breakdown! For anyone using the latest version of Reaper, you can do the fast method with alt+shift and drag the end of the item when you get the hand cursor.
Finally got around to watching this one. I've got a song where the guitars are in 11/16 and the drums are in 5/4, and it is a massive headache to perform live but when it works out it makes me feel like the polymeter god.
I often run 2 or more un synced clocks. This creates an audio effect similar to turn signals in lines of stopped traffic, sometimes it syncs for a few beats in cycles and creates some really interesting sounds.
