Clusters: the most explosive chords in history

- Tone clusters are some of the most dissonant chords in music. We usually associate them with modern music but believe it or not composers have been using them for hundreds of years.

Jazz musicians: In classical music you aren't allowed to play a single wrong note!!!
Classical musicians: Hold my hapsichord
🤣Yes!
You can't just show up out of nowhere and be one of the best music content creators on CZcams. Outstanding video!
Right? Dude just suddenly appeared with perfect videos and only has 4000 subs
how does this guy only have 3k subs
not for long
@@Garlicbloomjust like Digging The Greats
For real, I just subbed. Great style, information, and editing!
There is a brazilian song named "construção" (construction) that in the minute 1:52 has some sort of cluster chords to symbolise the honk of the cars on the street, super cool!
This is the BEST explanation and informative video about clusters I've ever seen. I wish that my teachers in college teaches me this way with this kind of information. Thank you!
Absolutely PHENOMENAL! And you didn’t exclude microtonal clusters or Xenakis, like everyone else would!!! For microtonal clusters, I highly recommend: Paul Dolden, benyamind, myself, Dsilton, and Steve Lehman
how are you everywhere
I think in Battalia by Bieber, the technique he uses is polytonality, because every instrument plays in a different tonality, which is still innovative for that time
Great video, just about the right time for my Ligeti school project!
your channel makes me appreciate music way more
clicked just for the thumbnail
*Outstanding!* You make me excited to see the next video on multiple levels: great content, enthusiasm for a subject I love, and creative presentation. I like how you can take a topic that _might_ seem uninteresting and breathe life into it, making me want to know more. "I didn't realize that." is quickly becoming a common thought as I watch your videos. I also appreciate how you add resources in your video description area.
Side note: I'd like to see Sibelius create some of those more esoteric scores you showed. Hah.
really nice video! i loved it I LOVE SCARLATTI I LOVE SCARLATTI I LV
Alex, I want to thank you for your content. Although I do not study music theory in any way, and can barely play an instrument, I do love music, and your content has ignited a curiosity for classical music, which no one has been able to spark before.
I primarily listen to jazz and have tried several times to get into classical music, be that through older famous compositions or never more esoteric ones, it has never really stayed with me. But your content, with its display of great and whacky compositions, is intriguing me to not only listen to the music which you have displayed but also to explore the vast catalog of classical compositions by myself.
Thank you for creating content with so much respect for your viewers, that can be hard to come by.
This video was a real treat to watch. It's great to see such genuine passion and enthusiasm on this platform.
It isn't often I sub within a minute of being introduced to someone's content
Nice to discover your channel. These are some great presentations and nice score animations.
Never stop making videos! Finding your channel has made such a difference in how I compose. Thank you!
A moment of silence for the people that weren't aware of that sound at the beggining.
It is criminal how few views this has. Loved this video, can't wait to watch the rest of them.
I didn't know most of the early examples. This was fascinating! Thanks!
A moment of silence for the people (with headphones) that weren't aware of that sound at the beggining.
Keep doing my Friend!
That's really interesting! I've always thought of clusters as really only a contemporary tool (from, say, mid-1900s to now), but I didn't know they were a thing in the 1700s as well! In my opinion, though, the king of clusters would have to be Eric Whitacre. Seriously... if you haven't already, go listen to his early choir works. His use of clusters gives the sound a beautiful, ethereal, shimmering effect.
Fascinating!
The chords do pretty much sound like cannons
such an informative and condensed video
Next time your toddler smashes the toy piano, know that this kid is a genius.
Holy shit that opening piece sounded so modern! 😱🤯 I'm going to listen to rebel guy now lol

You're such a great teacher!
This man is the Matt Parker of the Music world.

8:15 THX logo

When you want to make a beautiful racket but modular synthesizers don't exist yet.
listen to When David heard by Eric Whitacre. the usage of cluster chords in the piece is genius, expressing grief so profoundly, its painful to listen to (in the best way possible).
5:59
👏
Today I learned: I can finally put my keyboard smashing to use!
2:14 WOAH WIAHWOAH HOLD ON IS BRO VIRTUAL
Por esta misma razón yo cuando toco la valse de ravel en piano, en el final, donde suena los gongs, yo hago clusters
Surely Charles Ives was influenced by Biber.
Glad he didnt thr commercial holywood
Blue Devils Space Chords
Wtf is that battalia one
Ornstein is a master of clusters
Time to phnert.
music jreg has some interesting things to say here
This reminds me on an aleotoric piece we once played in band camp. It was called "I am" and was like a tributary piece to a kid who died in a car crash. Leading up to the big hit, each instrument carries a little motif that is repeated by the individual. It ends up sounding a little messy, but that's the point! It makes a spooky sounding, almost dreadful, like something is about to happen.
ah so when my compositions suck, i'm really just using a lot of tone clusters all at once..! :D
Explosive and cluster, hmmmmm. Cluster weapons are banned by most countries
6:12 idc what you say but this ain't no music in my eyes
🤣Henry Cowell . . . .
I don't like that amount of humour because the subject that you was talking about is very interesting and beautiful
tone clusters are a pseudoscientific idea that has no application in the creation of actual music.
Lmao using tye old joke pronoumciation of justin biebee frpm 2012
