[Mp3Astra]

I think I love you for uploading these. Can't believe they didn't make a DVD of this series, I would have bought it years ago!

[Jordainio]

@nezz752000 do you know what RAP stands for?! Rhythm accompanied poetry...every syllable or word can be like a beat of a drum or a melody...or even beat boxing...a more obvious synthesis of speaking and rhythm...it's all how you look at it. Every word technically has a pitch too, although, one probably don't think of it that way until he or she hears words being sung in a song. i dunno

[JURGMANDR]

@Jordainio i think you mean retards attempting poetry.

[Trickdogg7]

@JURGMANDR Oh Snap! I like rap. Retards attempting poetry can be seen in every genre of music that contains lyrics I'm sure you'll agree *cough"insertnon-talentedwrite­r"Cough* I can't believe that after the limerick rap only half the people watching went on to the next part! I can't wait to see what goodall does next.. he's one crazy cat, that rhyme was tighter than a teen's bumhole. Lol M/F. P.S God created monkeys then monkeys created man, get it right you lunatic! = P

[GV1UK]

@JURGMANDR You're an ignorant moron. Appreciate music, regardless of whether you like it or not. You sound like the typical idiot stereotyping rap because you dislike it or have a hint of racism inside you. Like it or not, rap is music. I used to hate rock as a kid, but now I enjoy it. Infact, theres very few genres I dislike. Even if I don't enjoy the music I can still appreciate it for what it is. The retards here are those stereotyping.

Twista was the last person I expected to see in this vid

[jamesdragonforce]

Should've included amon amarth the 'pursuit of vikings'.

[666jony666]

I thought Wagner was romantic not classical.

[glevantino]

@666jony666 Wagner was romantic. I think the word "classical" in this case is being used more broadly to encompass Baroque, Classical and Romantic styles.

[todd3293]

ill never understand how they can play string instruments with perfect tones and no frets like on a guitar :)

[raultejedor]

@todd3293 With a very good ear

[Telekon5]

There was a young lady from Venus... Whose body was shaped like a... CAPTAIN TO SECURITY COME IN!!!

[skychy]

9:35 Shes happy because shes playin the fiddle :D

[seban678]

I love this program. I just wonder why they decided to have the most annoying piece of music I've ever heard as their theme tune!

[missbunks0613]

The guy playing the cello. Holy crap hair!

[buildsbest]

At 8.24 without his dreads is the image of our drum teacher 'KEVIN' (you know who you are)...

CHEERS KEV

[busessuck1]

Hehe, I live in Twickenham

Informative show with nice examples

[TiqueO6]

Rhythm and Harmony are not separable;

if you slow down the harmony of the 5th you'll hear a distinct and accurate dance rhythm of 2 beats in 3 (or visa-versa) and conversely if you speed that rhythm up enough you'll hear that characteristic "drone" or fifth harmony.

Our very DNA might be built based on Fractal principals guided by primal harmonies and rhythms which were imprinted on our universe in the first Femtoseconds of it's existence. (these are my ideas gleaned from many sources.)

[TiqueO6]

@TiqueO6

and there it is at 9:15 where he divides the pulse into triplets against two beats He mentions that the beat is successful because of speech patterns.

What you're seeing there is some of the basic truth of why we think the way we think and express ourselves in a fashion that follows rhythmic (and harmonic) laws.

In wave interactions (harmonies and rhythms) there are points where things fall together more so than at other points.

(CONTINUED NEXT POST)

[TiqueO6]

@TiqueO6 (CONTINUED) When these waves fall together strongly in or out of phase with each other events occur either increasing in power (in phase) or canceling power (out of phase).

Meaning in our speech patterns might well follow some basic universal mathematical logic from harmonic/rhythmic patterns dominating from the beginning of "time".

The first note of a rhythm is usually in relation to the downbeat even if that downbeat is silent. Next notes are often syncopated,last note - often not.

[TiqueO6]

@TiqueO6 (continued - final post)

even if the last note is syncopated it's heard/felt in relation to a final downbeat which is strong either in or out of phase.

The first word of a phrase is often felt as beat "one" or in relation to it and the last word is often like the final downbeat of a bar. The space after the last beat is like the time to take a breath to prepare for the next bar or thought.

well, enough of that for now...(btw, I posted a series of these in a row - one idea though)

[TiqueO6]

@TiqueO6 (Couldn't resist):

What's the strongest harmonic of a vibration in nature?

Well I don't really count the octave much as a harmony though I'm sure it is but I do count the next strongest harmonic; the fifth = 3 in 2 or 2 in 3 or 6/8 or 12/8 etc.

A lot of information packed in that harmony compared to the fundamental tone or the octave.

Now extrapolate that idea up to densities of the big bang - stretch them from sub-sub-atomic to extragalactic size in 2 Femtoseconds and you get Fractals.

[mikaelkhei]

Thank you for this avesome movie that is deeply inspiring and deeply comtemplative. I want to support a change that helps us to take care of this treasure and culture of movement and dance/rhythm and also bring it more into the world of those who live without it.

[cheriehung0427]

it's great great film!! thank you so much!!!!

[shipcomesin]

What's the name (he mentions it, Stephen something..) of the musician who made an arrangement of Dvorak's romantic piece no 4? If anyone knows, please tell me! Thanks!

[metalmankam]

when the drums came in with the classical i was waiting to hear "BOATS AND HOES!!"

[rootvalue]

2:38... how did you they Darth Vader to be an extra in this documentary?

[skribl2000]

of course the clasic has the beat just a trainedear has to hear it :)

[imhallowarren]

3/4 is AWESOME!!!!!

[evilguy45]

hello juan i am morphiues

[NSO82]

There once was a man from Madrass

Whos balls were made of fine brass

So in stormy wheather,

they clang together,

And sparks flew out of his ass

[Jtking3000]

There was a young lady from Ickenham

Who went on a bus-trip to Twickenham.

She drank too much beer,

Which made her feel queer,

So she took off her boots and was sick-in-'em.

[skyelof]

05:18 Adding drumset to the Siegfried Idyl is nevet an improvement and even less because the sample from the piece is counted in three whereas the drummer is setting out for four, so it is completely misunderstanding the whole idea of the rhythmical basis with that example. It is a pitty as most of the series has a good level of insight and is conveyed well.

[nickeax]

Is that a Prophet 5?

[Markohoppis]

Rhythm. My least favorite part of music. Nothing like playing complex rhythms with dotted notes, tied notes, and rests, or should I say trying to play it or trying to play it while having a fucking stroke from being fully enraged. then subsequently breaking your instrument.

[mrdotbryce]

3:00 wrong, birds are no mammals, some birds have a sense of rythm

[b0ttomzone]

hehe. the best way to end this was with the limerick rap^^

[SailorBarsoom]

I liked it up to that limerick. But I guess he needed a clean one, and how many of those are there (that aren't nursery rhymes)?

[skaleewag]

Great series. Thanks for the well-organised upload timegrinder.

(gotta remember that limerick!)

[clawtooth35]

NO such thing as 5/7 my friend.

[Tb0neZ5]

maybe he means a 5 over 7 poly rhythm? if that exists i dont know too much about them

[scottycanes]

Lol, Dividing a beat into 7:7 time and then 5:7 time would be quite a challenge O_o. I think that it might be possible :p

[waynewallace08]

Unless i'm mistaken a time of 5/7 is impossible. The "denominator" of a time signature tells you what you're counting by, quaters, eighths, etc. 4 represents quaters, 8 represents eighths and so on. and since there is no seventh note you would never have a 7/7 or 5/7 time signature.

[mortson978]

I concur. I suppose you could invent a seventh note, but there is no point.

[oscarhueleaculo]

rythm isn´t only about multiples of 2

[gokebe]

I think it is, 2s and 3s, but if you look at it, 1/6 notes are divisible by 2, there would be no 1/7 notes as they are not divisible by 2 (or 3)

[gokebe]

not by machine

[Olextheking]

love it but is he going to talk about the really fun beats like 5/7

[BearWindAppleyard]

The drums and the strings sounds so cheesy together, ha ha

[adamknight]

I actually liked the classical with the drums... Not an improvement, but it did not ruin it.

[ratsouffle]

I actually prefer it with the drums *ducks*

[MrLesWhite]

Same here that was GOOD MUSIC

[linuxwave]

@adamknight made me somewhat lol as it came up =D

[BabyBoiQue]

@adamknight Check out Vadrums page. He does something like that with diff types of music.

[SinepFilms]

@adamknight that was just to show there's a rythm. but there are actually really good drums to classic pieces. you should have a look at vadrums channel.

[Jordainio]

@adamknight that was definately an improvement with the set!!

[nothingstopskings]

Awesome. Love the limerick.

[PeterInglisGuitar]

Looks at the origins and application of Pulse, Tempo, Accent, Syncopation and Cross Rhythms.
