Major 7ths are only "itchy" in the cotext of a minor third. You stick a major third in there and it's completely the opposite: calm, pleasant, and maybe a little wistful.
the description of the major 6th also made think of the perfect 4th, so I'm curious to know the context of the musicians that were tested, maybe the styles of music they play have a different meaning for the intervals and thus would completely change the result
Be glad you have never heard Adam's harmfully loud, deep, bolshevik bellowing. "Like cutting meat with a fork." "Cutting cheese with a spoon." "HA-BUUAAARHHAAARRRBBHHAARRR!" The rich Baritone's explosion echoing through the abruptly silent hallways. Children cry, women faint. He exhales audibly with restraint. It is a burden, a sacrifice. I am grateful.
Minor second. Tritone seems more generally unsettling to me than like a stark, sharp burst of pain. However, you can play a minor second,tritone, and major seventh all at the same time for maximum effect.
interesting, but unconvincing. 1) The most helpful descriptions were not emotional ('airy") but functional ("wants to descend further"). 2) interestingly, I had a lot of the same wrong guesses as Levin did. I wonder if you group people by similar answers what you can learn about those people. 3) A description of emotional reactions to intervals that excludes the angsty-teenagers of intervals, minor sixth and minor third!? come on!
Context matters, it seems. The conversation at the end was also really insightful. I can totally see how you can think music with culinary, like Ben said. I, myself, understand musical compositions as relations between characters in a story. IDK why is that, but it has always been like that. For me each lick and phrase is a character and they interact throughout the story. Missing a note is like the character just missed his line. It has always been like that and making my own arrangements is like writing my adaptation of a theatrical piece.
Interesting idea, great video! I feel like the timbral characteristics, whether they are played together/ascending/descending, the dynamics, and the rhythm are all similarly relevant to our emotional interpretation as the interval itself. It seems as if the book privileges the abstract concept of interval and refers to it divorced from a context. Like an orchestra playing a low, rumbling minor second that ascends slowly compared to a piano playing a high minor second descending more quickly is the difference between Jaws and Fur Elise .
True, but it is actually dominant - tonic, not "subdominant". The descriptions in the book were referring to certain scale degrees, not to melodic intervals. In other words, when they were talking about the description of a "perfect fourth", the book was actually talking about the description of the "subdominant" scale degree.
The two of you get together and make videos like this regularly. I loved those videos of the improv games you guys would play, the interviews you did of each other way back, these little discussions. They make me feel all warm.
OMG the idea of relating music to flavor is mind blowing! Please collaborate with a food TH-camr like Alex to explain music in terms of food! Would love to see this idea expanded upon.
Adam: "Do you know the thing from futurama?" Ben: "Yeah I've seen cartoons." Lmao 😂 Also, I agree a hundred percent with Ben's emotional interpretations of the intervals. Except for the major 7th, I actually find it such a peaceful interval.
The conversation around the linkage between taste and sound is one worth its own episode. My father in law and I speak in these analogues as well. He was a top flight jazz drummer in Vegas and the West Coast back in that town’s glory days, and I’ve been doing my best to work my machine since I was wee. Clearly, umami is the bass and sweet is the soprano. So when you’re cooking, if you need more “bass” in your dish, then add some meat stock or fat. If the “cymbals” aren’t loud enough, add a dash of caramelized onion. Does anyone else who both loves to play and prepare food for framily feel this way?
Everyone will be different and different cultures and areas in the world might perceive intervals different. Like I got most of these correct but a lot of that is probably what I've been exposed to in the past which will be different for everyone. At the same time, I also agree with the guesses that Ben had as well, but I noticed his way of thinking them out were different than mine.
@@generalkenobi6869 That undermines the whole point of the study though. The experience of intervals isn't universal for everyone. Which is fine, but it doesn't comport with the study's findings.
I had all the same answers as Ben, maybe the exact way the intervals had been played for participants originally would have been helpful information, because for the first few until you mentioned flat 2 and sharp 1 were different I assumed we were talking harmonic intervals not melodic, and then with melodic we didn't know if there was context or in what direction stuff was going. Fun stuff regardless!
The study didn't look at either melodic or harmonic intervals, but at scale degrees. No music was played. A total of 10 musicologists from one university were asked to associate words with scale degrees in the context of any piece in major (hence no minor 3rd, but a sharp 2nd). They've all read lots of scores, so they might remember a few #1 or b2s and thus put them into the context of a number of pieces. Not a great study design and I'm surprised Huron put it in his book (the original study was shown in a conference paper, he didn't get it published in a journal).
@Bryan: Of course the jazz harmony was written into the songs; Gilberto was fusing samba and jazz. He was already familiar with American jazz. Read up on the history; it's well-documented that the bossa nova pioneers were fusing elements of samba and jazz.
Just want to let you know I appreciate your videos. Long time musician (been playing longer than you've been alive), but I always feel like a beginner, and your videos help me clarify what I'm doing and want to do.
I was always enjoy watching Adam and Ben's synergy together. Adam does a lot of features with other musicians but he seems the most comfortable and open around Ben. This was a cool idea for a video!
Hello! I like your videos a lot and, since you did the you did the video on Japanese music notation, maybe you should check out Ethiopian music theory. I don't know much about it but what I know seems pretty entertaining. Theres like four different music modes and there all pentatonic. It would be interesting for me and your other viewers to learn about. Thanks for making cool videos!
Man, it's crazy to watch the progress your channel is making. Thank you for the content you make, you're the only creator I support on Patreon (don't have great finances, but I think what you're doing is really important)
how come such nerdy video is soooo entertaining for such musical noob like me??? I mean I showed it to some non-musician friends and they also love it! Adam and Ben are right men on the right place, best pair for the job
When I was in 1st grade of my music school and knew little of music theory, I always recognized flat 6 fastest of all, because it has such YEARNING in its sound. So hearing tests were at first purely emotional on my part, no theory behind it all. (:
I feel good that my answers lined up with Ben's for most of those. Even if we weren't right its comforting to have the same train of thought as a much better musician than myself.
I totally agree with the cooking/music parallel. I am pretty into both. You are making something new and wonderful from raw and basic ingredients, its very process-oriented, and requires use of all your senses. Building flavors and figuring out what goes with what is the same as making music. Both evoke feelings and memories. Glad someone else thinks this way too.
OMG you guys are great together, and this comes from a guy who doesn't usually like Adam's videos. I think you should definitely make more videos like this with the both of yous
"Strong, upward, bold, edgy, unstable, uncertain, upwardly mobile, mildly precarious." If you say you wouldn't swipe right on this raised tonic, you're lying.
Watching back I think it would be interesting to have Adam’s synesthetic response to these intervals represented somehow, like how he highlights the notes with colours
My choir teacher told me about the “guess the interval” game she used to play in choir when she was in college, but THIS is something new to me. I think I’d suck 😂
This is fascinating. I have been working on my intervals a lot lately, so this is of great interest to me. I got enough wrong to make it purely guesswork, but I was surprised by how many I got right.
Hey Adam, have you ever thought of time signatures as having an emotion attached to them? I think they can be very useful for creating tension but I'm curious what a jazz guy thinks of it.
there is a series of notes/ intervals that bring me the most joy. Following the tonic, a whole step, half step, then whole step are proceeded in increasing pitch. The set of “intervals” begins to fall in pitch. We return to the 2nd note of the sequence, but only this time it is held for twice the length as before. The final two notes of the sequence are ascending, as we begin at a whole step below the tonic, just to rise up and fulfill the satisfaction and joy of returning to the 1/tonic. Such a story of tension and release cannot be repeated as well :p
Clearly they're just played through the wrong frequencies.

Hey Adam!! I have a question for your next Q & A: Why do some bossa nova songs are listed as Jazz Standards? Keep Up The Good Work!!!
its probably because south-american music was brought to america at the 'dawn of jazz'. it was automatically integrated.
my best guess
Jazz chord voicings and progressions
Bossa nova is largely a fusion of (Brazilian) samba rhythms and (American) jazz harmony.
@Bryan: Of course the jazz harmony was written into the songs; Gilberto was fusing samba and jazz. He was already familiar with American jazz. Read up on the history; it's well-documented that the bossa nova pioneers were fusing elements of samba and jazz.
