  • The piano is out of tune.

  • @stamstuff

    Quote from the video text: "The piano is not eqaully-tempered but tuned to the harmonic series which is basically the musical equivalent of counting: 1-2-3-4-5-6-...

    Fundamental (no. 1)= 64 Hz, no. 2= 128 Hz, no. 3=192 Hz etc."

  • @skyelofIt was a joke. the harmonic series is a relate to physics before its relate to music.

    though, it seems that the pictures is 'perfectly' divided, so a 'perfect octave' is possibble in the pictures (which dose no exist in the natural harmonic

    series).

  • I find it interesting that the 5th of a chord divides the circle of 5ths into three equal parts as if to stabalize it. I'm new to all this, but saw another video about the big picture as an (x,y) graph to represent space and time. Line segments representing notes 1-7 of the diatomic scale would end in open circles, and could be transposed from the origional y=x four times in each direction before repeating.

  • @jfarwell92 Thanks for comment! Well, the fifth of a chord doesn't divide the circle of fifth in three equal parts. If you inscribe trigons in that circle you end up with progressions of major thirds - not exactly stabilizing!

    Please, be aware that the diatonic (with 'n', not 'm') scale is a culturally conditioned structure whereas the harmonic series is the universal foundation of all music.

  • Interesting that the dots seem to correlate with the configuration of electrons in various atoms.

    John Keely and Walter Russell both said that transmutation of elements can occur through "sympathetic vibration" and harmonics.

    Meaning, with the right combination of frequencies and manipulation of surrounding atmospheric pressure, we can change one element into another from using sound and resonance.

    Look into the work of John Keely and Walter Russell.

  • My favorite was 11 :)

  • @sevishmusic Thanks for comment! I also find 11 beautiful and as an overtone singer I often have the chance to hear or sing it.

    I can see that you experiment with tunings and from a technical perspective 11 is interesting by falling almost exactly (551 cents) at the midway point between perfect and augmented fourth (500 and 600 cents respectively).

  • @skyelof Indeed! These days I prefer the 11th harmonic to the perfect fourth, because it has so much more buzz and beauty to it. I'm using it melodically but it's more difficult to fit it in harmonic progressions.
