Future of Music - the secret of great music - music physics, performance, audience communication, secret sof all great performers.

[pjvdixon]

What is music? Set of mathematical formulae or passion? The maths of all muscial harmonies is elegant and fascinatingly simple. The future of music is about exciting the human brain with pattens of sound which give pleasure as a form of language.

Awesome advice

[MusicRakan]

This was very enjoyable, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

[TheHumanDevelopment]

Outstanding video.

[princessdingling]

Thanks for sending, very informative.

[alanpern]

This is good, real good!

Thanks

[iversonmatthew]

Amazing incite!! Thanks for sharing it!!

[MatrixMarc]

I absolutely enjoyed Dr. Dixon's commentary. He is great mind and fantastic communicator.

[kingraisin]

haha! this video is great and concise! very informative! what exactly do you mean by the word "canned" though?

[pjvdixon]

@kingraisin "canned music" - slang in UK for recorded rather than live.

[JonBrooksComposer]

Very interesting and informative. Love your enthusiasm.... it's inspirational.

[Tyco200]

Amazing piano! I have started a year ago and I truly adore this instrument. <3

[HyperboricPhil]

Great! a bit overwhelming though...

[DAKMAIN]

This guy is interesting but he twitches like he forgot his preparation H this morning..

[ATQCapital]

An octave occurs when the Hz doubles. The note A on a piano is 440 Hz. Our Vsiual spectrum starts around 400 THz. My theory is that as the frequency leaves our auduble range it keeps moving up following the same frequency doubling rule. 440 Hz =A 440 Khz =A 440 Mhz =A 440 Thz= A (which is Red on the visual spectrum) Music obeys the same law as our visual spectrum because our visual spectrum is only the continuation of the vibrations.

@ATQCapital Interesting theory on maths of music and vision.

[curtisb3000]

@ATQCapital

Your are completely correct, frequency equals music the wide range of frequencies equals greater range of possibilities of creating different vibrations of frequencies within sound. Sun Ra understood this whom was the deepest musician to date!

[MrDrhush]

@ATQCapital That's exactly the way I've always thought of music once I started learning the theory behind it. I realized it's all numbers. The modes; the scales all have seven notes(talking about real scales not pentatonics) So maybe there is something to it. Some kind of order hidden behind all the chaos...

[bambimonkey]

Who are you, brother? You got my attention. I'l check your site out. You're saying some hip stuff.

[pjvdixon]

@bambimonkey Future of music is all about emotion and maths

[MiquelSamuelslyric]

very interesting

[Whatisthescore]

He doesn't need to be wearing a tie.

[loger0050]

He definitely knows what he's talking about. All of this makes sense for the musically educated.

[SeanWesley81]

great insights

[UCSBeast]

This is amazing!!! And perfect for me! I'm at a university now and I am completely artistic; however, In all honesty, scared of pursuing the arts. I feel such comfort knowing that I can pursue physics AND it harmonizes perfectly with music. I can finally understand music on a deeper level. I can touch humanity poetically with the cred. of a physics major. Cool

[MysteryGardenProd]

Nice that you recognized this...

[nminescu]

yeeeeeesss !!! 5*

[irresestable]

man i love every word that comes out of your mouth .. i`v watched all your videos ..

and i`v subscribed to your channel ..

we need more people like u in our world .. we seriously do

[pjvdixon]

@irresestable Glad u like future music videeo.

[Esteelauders]

It's all true...but I just wish people were more into classical music, because then this evolution-even in the time of technology-of classical music would pick up some speed! Even the greatest composers thought it was somehow smart to keep their secrets..*sigh*

[ImaniTMisfit]

Very well said.

[TheSuperiorZ]

Thank you very much for this video, i agree with what was said in the video and i like your energetic way of presenting it. awesome =)

[Ablinkin18]

Yes!! I love what you have to say

[AaronRes]

..I love you?

Everything you said I agreed with, especially the party about copyright reforms.

[seanpdaly]

The modern music scale is totally mathematical as it was conceived by Pythagoras

[Watermark0n]

That's not exactly true. Pythagoras did build the scale that the modern scale is BASED on, however, over the years people have been "evening it out", like with meantone temperament (which had perfect thirds, while the Pythagorean scale had extremely dirty thirds), then with well-temperament, and then most everyone has switched to equal temperament these days. The equal temperament ratios are all irrational. The just intonation version of our scale is called the PTomelic scale.

[Teller3448]

I wonder if a 'melody' can be scientifically defined...as opposed to a random collection of notes???

[Garii]

Of course it can. Everything that music is made of is based in mathematics, even dissonance and passing notes. In fact, this is the very way that Beethoven composed his music, using mathematics to calculate harmonic relationships between notes.

[likemanzip]

can you give examples of the mathematical calculations involved in music

[pjvdixon]

All harmonics are mathematically related eg an octave is double the frequency. Patrick

[Ureallydontknow]

do a google search on 440 A and see if you can find the tunings for each note. the 5th of A is 1.5 x the frequency of A. basically you can count the peaks of two sine waves that are in harmony over the same length of time the two frequencies will have a common denominator that is rather basic. the 5th of A will always cycle 3 times for every 2 cycles of A. so the harmonics stacked on top are shapeing the waveform while the lowest note is usually dominant. look it up.

[seanpdaly]

440 is not true! This is an American average! and its not quite right!

[midinerd]

it's like Ref_tone(440)*2^(x/12) where x is the semitone you desire in the 12-step-specified semitonal field westerners are used to... 2^ is used in accordance with our exponential/whatever interp of the hz content..

[Ureallydontknow]

anyone who says 440 is not the tuning of A is obviously not American or British or whatever and therefore I don't really care. your country is probably very small. although it might be historically accurate to tune differently its not widely accepted. sorry. and if your on unequal temperment then that could be another reason for the different tuning YOU use. thats your thing not mine. I feel fine telling people that A is 440 cause thats probably the answer they were looking for.

[ahimsa79]

Thank you brotha. I really enjoyed this insight. Its very encouraging. I write out my thoughts & am learning to play guitar, teaching myself. I'm developing a interesting sound. Its mine, it makes me happy. I would like to put my thoughts & music on the net. I thin you just gave me the motivation i needed. Thanks again!

[laineswaby1036]

This vid is quite insightful

[deanmetalface]

you have a very intelligent mind, you have opened up my mind and view on music thanks!

wish i was as brainy as you

[seebelious]

I play the Violin since i was four, and i`ve never been able to explain how easily i get to people with my instrument. I can hold it up, play a little Brahms or Tchaikowsky, and an overwhelming silence takes over the room and transport us out of this world. I think Physics is really close to music, i thank you a lot for this video Dr. Dixon!

[hellyersonline]

spot on - it's interesting to come back and watch this almost a year on. Especially in the light of Jay Z's decision to focus on live shows and considering leaving the massive record label Def Jam... whcih would have been considered suicidal 5 years ago.

[pjvdixon]

Thanks very much. Enjoy the other youtube vidoes I have made and my globalchange dot com site. Patrick Dixon

[elfgod]

Very inspirational and view changing for me.

[marykaymusic]

very interesting!

[lauroga]

this guy is a business man, a physicist, a musician, a doctor... what the hell man, i mean, i envy you :(

anyway, keep on posting videos. thats why i love internet, the power of sharing knowledge of all levels to anybody in the world. information democracy, freedom.

[PatriotMusicMatt]

Good stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more examples of how specific tonal relationships inspire various emotions, perhaps even across different cultures. (Say an Em9th -vs- an E Dim) I haven't seen tones on an oscilloscope in years either. I don't know if you have the fascilities or time to demonstrate these things, but I think you could pull it off well with your knowledge and obvious passion.

Thanks!

PatriotMusicMatt

[robberry33]

I enjoyed watching your video very much. I myself am a music artist, writing my own music. I agree with every word you said. Especially when you touched on the future. Live music is where it will be. I'd love to hear your opinion on other music topics as well.

[pjvdixon]

Thanks for your kind words about the future of music video. Music industry trends will be dominated by one word: emotion. Patrick Dixon

[rijkent55]

Whar a great teacher you are ! You explain your subject with clarity and with passion.

[Nkatsikanis]

Im a fan of music, I play the piano, clarinet and guitar. I love the variabliliy of different instruments. Its amazing how the same notes on different instruments will produce different emotional responses

[pjvdixon]

Music perception and response are extraordinary things - beyond the understanding of any machine. Patrick Dixon
