  • I dont think hes claiming to have developed "The" Non-Pythagorean scale. Rather, hes claiming that his scale is simply Non-Pythagorean. Hes just showing that there are chord variations outside of the norm when it comes to song writing. Its a simple educational video.

    The guy, as a musician, is really amazing. Not only has he proven that these ideas are usefull hes proven them to actually sound GOOD. "Electronic Music for Musicians" is his latest album, and its one of my favorites.

  • Mr. Watermark0n, the claim you've made is that alterations to an instrument are unwelcome, while alternate tunings are among the only ways of defining versatility a musician has left. As for the scales use, Robert himself has said that it's limited. His mind when, (making this scale) was more mathematical than musical, and this was his intention. By the by, NEVER claim superiority to another, we all think we are great, but shut the hell up.

  • God I love the texture on that one chord - it sounds like it wobbles.

  • Rob Schneider dee dump-da diddly dump-tee tump!

  • i had no idea he was a genuis

  • @lessavyfav712712 He wasn't critiquing, he was explaining a pattern naturally found in none-Pythagorean harmony ratios and using it as an analogy.

  • best friend smartypants.

  • Pythagoras said.....

    "The introduction of a new unnerving/unharmonic scale, would endanger the future of all human developement, if it became widely spread and used"

    Perhaps you found the key to control and enslave mankind. lol

    j/k

  • that is truly awesome.

  • I'm so confused, I don't know anything he's saying

  • you're really making a strong point by throwing baseless accusations and opinions around.

    Fill me in, show me exactly how he has the intellect of a 6 year old. I'm really curious to find out.

  • no such thing as a major fourth
