at 8:10 and other places i hear an octaves, but it does not necessarily convey any pattern at all. The only way to 'err ' would be to create a pattern. However, the ear is a pattern-seeking organ and it will probably find a hidden design anyway. Mine, for example, imagines these pitches harmonized, thereby giving them pattern within tonality, and making them more significant, thereby more memorable.

That's why I feel like this whole "Ugliest music" project was wrong from the beginning. Ugliness is as subjective as beauty is. For some, beauty in music is rooted in what he said (repetition of motifs) but for others, beauty simply resides in the satisfaction of a music that is fitting to a certain context. If this music was listened to in the right context, it could really be considered beautiful.

As I said at one comment, looks like this one just cares about the distance between the notes N and N+1 at the piano (with N being note currently playing and N+1 being the next note you will play) being always different. To make this even uglier, he could also care about the distance between N and N+2 being always different, also N and N+3, N and N+4 and this goes on.

AstroKittyKiki Yasss I think he's trying to say that the piece could not allow patterns like (taking all notes as numbers) 1,3,2,6,3 as there is a repeated pattern in that both the 1st and 3rd notes and the 3rd and 5th notes have a relation of going up by 1, and the difference between them is the same (3-1=5-3). Similarly, 1,4,3,7,2,9 would also be not allowed because it goes up by 2 between both the 1st and 3rd notes and the 4th and 6th

@bentrapmusicteacher 6 жыл бұрын

This is highly structured sound. With regards to his justification for why this would be the world's "ugliest music", there are a lot of underlying assumptions here about how we perceive patterns, how we perceive sound, and how we perceive music that are not quite right. Among other things, we hear direction (up/down) as patterned, and the x3 structure creates quite a few directional patterns, particularly near the beginning of the piece. It's not a surprise that many of the commenters are hearing this as beautiful. The piano itself is sonorous, and the pedaling and dynamic choices of the player bring out musical lines and harmonic elements.

@@pkl-yt what I believe they're trying to say, is that the first time at 9:16, the pianist plays notes that go up a minor third, which if you look at a staff, is one space or line apart with the higher note flatted. (Think G to Bb, or C to Eb) The specific minor third in question is F# to A, then it happens again immediately after, but at a higher interval, it's at a higher pitch, but the notes are the same space apart. You'll notice that they sound very similar, as they are both the same type of chord. Hope this helps!

The thing is, once you get into atonal music, the thing that most people notice are pitch relations and octave relations. There are certain patterns repeated, especially in the beginning, where those relationships hold true and are more important than actual pitch. The piece has a sort of pattern where this is true.

I actually did manage to locate a bit of repetition. At 9:16, you will hear a minor 3rd interval (Gb to A, if I'm not mistaken). Immediately following that you will hear a Gb in the higher octave followed by the A located a minor 10th above it. Not technically repetition in the strictest sense, but (musically) the effect is that you hear the same Gb to A minor 3rd interval twice in a row.

This. Also they only cared about the distance (at the piano) between an Note X at music score and an note X+1 at music score always being different. They didnt cared about the distance between note X and note X+2 being different and X+3........ As some example a song that start with those piano keys in order 9|3|7|5|....., the distance between 9 and 3 is 6 notes, the distance between 3 and 7 is 4 notes, the distance between 7 and 5 is 2 notes. But, the distance between 9 and 7 is two notes apart, the same distance between 3 and 5. So when you compare an note N (as some example the note 9) with a note at position N +2 at music score (at this case is note 7), you can have situations where the distance between the note N and note N +2 at other areas of music sheet are the same.

I seem to recall a program of Austin City Limits, a number of non repetitive musical notes were blended by using only a few bars of many popular songs, the algorythms were random having been pulled from something similar to Amazon's music samples for single song downloads. It was a magnificent technological feat. One man who rarely faced the camera knew my former professor of Creative Writing at University of Texas, my professor now is engaged with Austin City Limits television production. It was the most beautiful piece I have ever heard, all done when the artist blended pleasing notes to the beginning or end of every set of riffs or bars.

6:20 The captions are wrong there, the comment about Schoenberg was not that he wanted to free music from "total" structure but that he wanted to free it from "TONAL" structure, which is the musical structure of having a relationship of tonality between notes (a tonic, a dominant, sub-dominant, etc.) He wanted each note to be as important as the others, without tonal anchors.

@sirstephington8869 6 жыл бұрын

Humans have trouble creating true randomness, we end up making everything less random but trying to make it "seem" random if you follow that. There would be more patterns, yet still what you're saying is relatively correct, but true randomness would look less random than anything human generated. You're correct, this is more informal than critical, kind of... random. That's one weird paragraph...

@loganrichards5140 6 жыл бұрын

Basically, your perception of randomness is something like 1748452648091373759 - a number with a lot of different digits, no immediate repetition, and no clear pattern. Real randomness looks like this: 1195712432266473 Note that some numbers are 'clumped'. When you shuffle a pack of cards, if you draw three consecutive cards in a row, you might say it was shuffled badly. However, that sequence of cards is just as random as, say, Aclubs 7hearts 3spades. You recognise patterns as not ever occurring randomly, but they happen surprisingly often.
