3:09 - fucking 10/10 would go to a caveman rave

Coconut Techno. My life is complete.

Hans Zimmer once said "I find immense beauty in the sound of the air conditioner clicking on" Music is everywhere, and everything is music. I liked the alarm clock example. If we all learned to enjoy every sound we hear, maybe we'd all be happier lol

I was expecting actual noise music.

Yo that beat he threw with the sticks is awesome

That sticks and coconut music is AWESOME.

who else watched the whole thing waiting for something more interesting to happen.

Every single time I click on these Ted talks I expect to learn something... But so far I've only managed to improve my vocabulary a bit.

Music is the balance between predictibility and variability that's a great quote

Half past two at night, I'm watching this and slowly falling asleep. And then I get to 7:25.

I find myself rating all my favorite bands on this spectrum. Its quite fascinating and insightful.

What I learned, Don't skip a song if you don't like it at first.

3:49 - if it's not predictable, if you can't anticipate what's coming next, it's too chaotic. Jazz: Am I a joke to you?

this inspired me to give a talk about cooking a potato

hey ever heard of andrew huang

that's a big ass coconut

Alarm clocks with melodies are nice. It also helps to change the melody, so that the mind does not get used to one.

That beat was straight fire

Sounds are so much fun and cool !! The fact that we have senses, the FACT that we are able to hear vibrations. It’s amazing honestly.

So, on this island, we find a *kick* sounds like this: *perfect kick* "Pretty basic noise, not inherently musical or special"

3:01 lol counterpoint is the study of the harmonic relationship between two melodic lines, you can't have counterpoint with only one line going

As I scroll through these comments, all I see are people that are completely missing the point. This entire talk isn't about "damn, he can make good music with coconuts!" It's actually about the reason why humans are able to interpret music from noise.

In terms of experimental music you can find both of these extreme. Drone is incredible predictable and rarely changes in meanful ways. Free jazz is some of the most chaotic music you will ever hear. A song can last 3 mimutes and change tempos 23 times and have 4 different time signatures

Good point at the end, but my philosophy is that everything is both music and noise. Everything can be used for music and for noise. It's just that people automatically call something noise when it sounds off to them, especially if all they listen to is predictable music.

you shed a beautiful light on understanding music. I'm a musician myself. thanks for this!!!:)

this is why EDM is so awesome. it feeds and reaches back to a primal level, across the globe.

i honestly don’t understand why there are so many hate comments?? this guy made several good points and so what if it was slightly repetitive? he was talking to an audience that obviously didn’t know much about music so he was doing what he could to get the message to them in simple terms while still making it interesting

This video taught me that if you left click and hold the subtitles while dragging your mouse you can move them. Mind Blown!

The coconut music was still using western theory.

I thought he did a great job describing the true nature of music, without cluttering it up with extra stuff. As such, I am more likely to absorb his point. I find it to be a profound observation, well presented. Also applies to life in general. We thrive at the place, where we are most comfortable with, the balance of routine and challenge.

the fact that good music has predictability is so true! I can hum what comes next to a tune I've never heard before if I listen for a little bit

This is awesome and so true . . . I would add any of the songs to my playlist.

Really good! We transformed our dogs barking into a song! :D

wtf?? idk what i gained from this lmao. i watched the whole thing too like i was about to learn something fantastical

For me, there is no one thing that defines music, simply because there is no just one thing that music defiance. It is the only international language the breaches every single barrier on earth, and even breaches barriers between different species, almost every animal including us will respond to music, remarkably, will respond according to that tone of the music being played. For me I love singing, I’m not too bad, I’ve been in more than my fair share of choirs, I also play the trombone, trumpet, tuba, harpsichord, harp, piano and organ, not very well, because I am now almost 50 music class in high school was a long time ago, but the memories are still alive and will never die. Due to some serious health issues I have lost much of my memory, but strangely enough the only thing that I still remember everything about, is music. This is the one thing in this life that never ceases to amaze me, what other media do we have that can touch us emotionally, and so deeply, like music does? You could make us laugh, you can make us cry, you can re-Kendall feelings and emotions we haven’t felt for decades all with a few simple notes. It draws us together as one, any races all the false barriers that we ourselves but between one another. If only there were a way to let music rule the world, just imagine how beautiful everything could be?

I found this very interesting. Amazing work Mr. Jhin

So you saying that cave people might have known house music before it became mainstream?

who else like when he broke up the sample at 6:36. I found it intriguing.

Great talk! It really makes sense what he says at the end.

That beat @ 3:00 was DOPE!! I wish it was an actual track

Guys this is not like Ted talks but you have to give him credit, its a nice change of pace and is actually unique and clever

6:50 am i actually the only one who thinks, that this is awesome?? I mean .. dont get me wrong but if we cut down these 5 sequences to 4 and ad more clear cutting in it, that would be an awesome sounding Sample for e.g hip hop etc..

this video makes it clear of how many music styles people are unaware and also scared to dwell into. I doubt any of the people in the audience has ever heard of "noise" (as a music genre) or breakcore yet alone to listen to these styles.

That intro statement applies to everything. Software and game dev as well.

daamn that coconut tune is so groovy that it's still stuck inside my head

People get impressed very easily

Thank You Jackson Jhin for this....Great Stuff !!!!

8:47 I really like the message, thanks.

2:44 for the coco people like me lol

I like this dude

you've got some heat! many blessings your way!

really simple explanation. whatever I know a lot about music making but like to listen such simple explanation

me : BANGING ON THE FRYING PAN mum : WAT IS WITH ALL THOSE NOISES me : this is music ..

He makes zero points in nearly 10 minutes of speaking. He should be our next President.

this is the perfect example of talking without saying anything. ted x ladies and gentlemen

I honestly didn't want this video to end.

Him: What makes popular music popular? Me, an intellectual: *ThE WoRd 'PoPuLAr'*

(Shame about the dodgy audio mixing on this video.) An interesting topic, and well-presented. The same principles are found throughout a lot of the arts. Writing for example (my field) has the idea of "the familiar and the strange," giving a simple story a little twist to make it into something completely new. The context is still understandable from the familiar side, but it's made new and interesting by the strange side.

I can listen to ABSOLUTELY anything

It's way too inspirational I loved it thanx

4:38 So Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity?

I could just imagine a rave starting at a ted talk

these videos are brilliant first time I have came across them

that sample chop of the classical piece is actually very good

WOW! he invented the wheel........

do these people not know how music works??? they acted amazed by him putting a simple kick in?

The guy is amazing, I really like him

Bravo 👏!!! Very informative.

Google ad music needs in this

Music is best defined as anything that is either intended to be perceived as music by its composer or anything that is perceived to be music by any listener. Anything more specific than that and you begin to make subjective and limiting definitions of what music really is. There's many different ways music can be used, it can be a form of entertainment, it can be a tool, it can be a weapon, it can be spiritual rite. Music is not a universal language, it is very heavily dependent on its region, culture, intent and purpose. The term "music" itself is considered a western term and can even be a limiting description of itself. There's a few thousand dollars worth of Ethnomusicology you'll never need. Cheers.

Honestly , You hurt my expectation but thank you for your efforts .

I am one of the first to write midi and music tracks using the RSE engine from Guitar Pro 4, 5 and 6. Instead of just using the tool to learn songs I was able to make really cool riffs and music by using only my Ear cause I don't know how to write tab or music composition or read it all that well.

Jhin the virtuoso

This guy know what he's talking about :)

He forgot about SOUL. Groove is in the heart.

Yt recommending this after 5 years in the corona pandemic

did they record this video on a potato?

Complete Awsome Shit (Y)

Thank you all very much

i learned more about music in this video than all the tutorials i have seen combined

You just maked a new music

Roses are red violets are blue there's always an Asian who's better than you.

Bless his soul, he was shaking awww

Jhin? He will make this beautiful

I don't like criticizing the music of john cage in that way. This is jugding without knowledge : 1/ He just play a few second of his music at 4:50, 2/ Then he puts a label "john cage = unpredictable" 3/ Then he put a judgement "unpredictable = prisonner in a cage" BUT If you know the composer : 1/ John cage composed A LOT OF music ALL THIS LIFE, this is not only few second, this is a long artistic way of life. 2/ John cage has a big musical universe, there is lot of pieces using rhythmic cycles and patterns (Amores, Sonata for prepared piano, in a landscape) (so they are predictable). He's inspired from Balinese gamelan sonorities, and Japanese Gagaku. This is a very reffined music whatever this guy says 3/ Pure unpredictability is never used in music even in radical atonal music like Boulez or Stockhausen, All the (good) composers play with expectation. Please be clever and don't believe that "unpredictable" equals "John Cage's music" or any other composer

now that was 9:29 mins of my life that i will never get back, thank you !

i like a steady beat in the beginning and have it slowly raise up to a very strong climax

still love it!!

4:16 was sampled from Glass's Music In Twelve Parts, part 5 beginning and conclusion. What he says here is wrong. It's not an hour and 8 minutes long, it's twenty two minuets long with lots of variation. like what the first comment said, "complete utter shit"

"almost everyone"? who the hell didn't raise the hand when he asked if the beat sounded more musical then the coconut alone lmao dem cavemen

I make amazing music with all of their products, thanks NI !!

This was a very well done speech

- food tastes good because you get nutrition's and minerals - breathing fresh air feels good because you need oxygen for your respiration chain even though oxygen is a poison for cells. - sex feels good because you need to reproduce before you die - you get the hang of what i mean - live invented a lot of rewards for things you need to do to continue living . - so what does music do ? why does it feel so good ? its just vibes ? everything has a vibe . maybe it synchronizes us ? not only in a social way but in a physical ? lets transcend and become one being with one consciousness . its determinated by live anyway . we started probably as one cell that divided and evolved different with each of its new parts but we were one and we should probably become one again before we reproduce ourselves again . we were just gathering different information all the time . we invented the internet to connect again and share knowledge . can see you where this leads to ? one of the attributes of live : emergence - larger entities arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities such that the larger entities exhibit properties the smaller/simpler entities do not exhibit (#wiki) ....the code of the first cell is still somewhere hidden in us . we are still all the same. your children are basically you in an evolved form . try to watch humanity from the sight of that first cell . what have we become in 3 billion years ? religion is like antibodies hitting on the own body . ISIS is cancer and politic is self poisoning(at least partially) . we adapted so much to the environment that we forgot to adapt to ourselves . everything that is invented to work all time , ends where it started . circles are fundamental . just like electron paths . lets go back to the basics(become one being again by swarm think . let the internet become an intranet and grow further until we vanish back to nothing when the universe does close its circle .)

I was expecting something really awesome.. awesome start with the coconuts. Then... meh

Came for the idea, stayed for the Maschine. Those things are so dope.

What a way to stretch out what could have been exlained in less than a minute, if not seconds

Im sorry to dissapoint, but it isnt actually the Transformers transforming noise into music, i know, its a shame :(

3:09 and that is how dubstep is made?

2:50 For those of you who enjoy that sweet coconut beat. And also because other people don't put the timestamp in.

I clicked on this video randomly but it has ended up teaching me something really interesting
