- Time Consuming Ep #25: The copyright disaster.
I've originally uploaded this video earlier today, but it got blocked by ECM records. So there was no audio. Which led me to recreate all musical segments using MIDI. It sounds pretty bad, but that's all I can do.
Make sure to listen to the original!!
The concept behind this songs polyrhythm is having two time signatures interact simultaneously.

This video is obviously just the beginning of this concept, and there's a lot more to it. If you'd want to dive deeper, feel free to contact me at gabayyogev@gmail.com

Doesn't matter if it's the original piece or just some MIDI, for me at least the main point of the video is your explanation about the piece of music that you chose.
Btw your videos are the highlight of my week, thanks for the amazing job, Yogev!
Oh thanks a lot!
I got super frustrated about this, and it's great to hear it's still appreciated!
So obsessed with this piece - the rhythms are really satisfying.
wowwww this song is absurd, the way you visualized everything was really smart :D not sure i would have ever understood it without this :o
Yes, I‘ve been waiting for this awesome one.
Suggestion for a future video: Panzerballett‘s „Typewriter II“ which is all about hiding the pattern 1 12 123 1234 12345 1234 123 12 1 and also includes the hardest septuplet bass ostinato I know.
Ohhh great! Adding to my list!
Panzerballet is great
Yogev awesome as always, why don't you do a spotify playlist with all the song explained and something more? Time Consuming playlist thank you
Man, I just did that a week ago!
Will announce it this week!
@@YogevGabay let me know the name i can't wait for it
29_14 is a masterpiece. ECM is a part of this. I will certainly write to them. What you experience here is not in the interest of anyone. Education and science is based upon the truth. The truth in art is the art itself. Nik Bärtsch, Kaspar Rast, Sha (and Nicolas Stocker) sounds like no one else in this world. No midi can reproduce the actual feel from Mobile and Ronin. They are yearlong masters in this field. And as years go by, more and more musicians around the world, are looking for ways to get close to this new style.
And you have taken your time to explain it in a visual way. And made that internet content available to me and others. I can use your tutorial both as a musician and as a musicteacher. And furthermore it gives me tools to spread the word.
Copyrighted material should not be infringed, but educational material must be shared. There a many reasons for that. Above all of them the truth about how things work. In this case art.
We apparently have to stop this ourselves.
ECM or the the real artist cannot have ANY interest in this copyright claim. We are talking about education. Science. Teaching the world new art. From the masters themselves.
I don't know if it will help, but I will certainly (as a teacher, as a musician, as an artist, father, citizen of the world) take contact to ECM and see what we can do.
I totally agree with everything you said!
I'm also going to meet Nik again on Monday in his club in Zurich, so I'm pretty excited about that.
But yeah, big labels like ECM need to realize that this kind of content is only spreading the word further and actually is a service to them.
@@YogevGabay Oh, it is tomorrow! My daughter and I went to Zurich in 2015 to watch him live and join the Montags session. It's an amazing event.
@@martingerup It was amazing! Such a tight band
This was really interesting, got me very inspired! And I love the song too, thank you! 🙏
Damn, didnt expect to find Ronin/Mobile here! They have been playing in the same club every monday for more than 10 years, so its quite easy to catch them regularly in zurich ;)
I'd love to come see them !!
@@YogevGabay def. Worth it!! Let's see how the whole covid situations and so on develop and travel to zurich as soon as its possible again ;)
Btw they are live streaming bc of the concert regulations/fewer amounts of audience members allowed in venues. So try and catch them on yourstage.live
Not the same, but a start :))
exil.cl/programm/detail/109598
Oh and while you are "here". I couldnt recommend "Ikarus" enough, they are a great mostly zurich based band, also on niks label "ronin rhythm records" and def. worth checking, also concerning polyrhythms/polymeters and stuff (since the drummer is writing most of their tunes ;) )
@@MBr___ and yourstage.live streams are actually really good because the mixing is perfect. Can hear every instrument perfectly fitting into the lattice work. I listen from Washington, DC.
I just (don't) hate it when Yogev's video is interrupted by Yogev's ad. Had to watch it all!
So cool Yogev, that you've discovered Nik Bärtsch! And don't forget the two points on die A at Bärtsch (you could also write it like that: Baertsch). This points are as important as e.g. two eighth notes... :-) I know this guy since about 1984 and followed his career.
Thank you for this! More Nik Bartsch please. Modul 35 pretty please.
OHHHHHH maybe !!
shared it in the comments of the original song , and.... mannnn wow what a great work ! i'm a big fan ! (since several episodes ago) ya gever !
מלך!
Explanation is beautiful
Loved this song as well as most of the Nik Baertsch production (and most of the Ronin Rhythm Record stuff), so thanks a lot for this so accurate and hooking analysys. For a future video may I suggest SIMONE GRAZIANO: Kinkali (from the album Sexuality): intricate polyrhythms in a very interesting contemporary jazz tune inspired by tribal african music!
Will check it out!
Amazing...!
wow, thanks for that piece!
needs more 'metal thing'
But this time '666' kind of metal
I always thought the low piano was actually in 9 because of the progression of the same 3 notes playing in that pattern of 3. High note rest rest, mid note rest rest, low note rest rest and repeats over and over.

czcams.com/video/RL-9lkmCZso/video.html&ab_channel=nikbaertsch
The best
so cool man
Record labels should recognize that CZcams is a great platform to reach more audiences! 90% of the weird bands that I listen to I met thanks to CZcams. It is much more likely that someone will get hooked on new music they don't know listening to one of your videos with the artist's original audio than with the midi audio that you were forced to use due to the blocking of this record company. because of their lack of vision, they harm themselves and the artist.
Man, this is such a hard battle. I agree with you 100% percent. I'm promoting their music, even if my following isn't millions of people, and I find it so bizarre that they don't see the power CZcams has!
Anyway Yogev! Your video as always was superb!!! Even with the midi audio I think is your finest peace of work! The talent and the hard work invest in the making this kind of content is just incredible! Congrats again!
@@joelariasdiaz6991 Thanks a ton man!
Love this piece have listened to it a number of times. What i don't get about rhythm is does music come first meaning pitch then the rhythmic aspect later or does a piece be born out of rhythm suppose it depends on the practioner, thanks for your work
I assume it depends on your mood as a composer?
It's like, do you first choose what to make for lunch and then make it or do you open the fridge, see what you have and improvise from there? See what I mean?
@@YogevGabay With Nik, I'd say they come simultaneously but stem from the rhythmic ideas. He plays rhythms on pitched instruments basically.
Perichoresis by Secret Chiefs 3 is an absolute must for you. It a 16 minute long audio masterpiece of polyrhythm that sounds like a diamond rotating through five dimensions.
Intrigued!
@@YogevGabay This a trimmed down from an excerpt in which the composer describes what he was up to:
An evolving system of musical ideas patterned upon specific geometrical relationships found in certain polyhedra, and some tesselating patterns derived therefrom. The other pieces are more directly-related to polyhedra, whereas this piece takes a cue from the techniques discovered in the process. There are three rhythmic layers that are ‘choreographed’, in ways mirroring the static sense of 'mutual-indwelling' described by the term Perichoresis. The composed music is a static snapshot of a process that is itself endlessly dynamic. With simultaneous time-signatures and motifs oriented around rotating vertices, all moving in graceful patterns around a central point on three coordinates ---delicate re-orientations of musical emphasis make room for other interpretations or ways of hearing or feeling a rhythmic pattern. With 3, 4 and 7-fold (and therefore 21 and 28-fold) symmetry (and oft-seeming asymmetry) one's hearing rotates and spins depending on which of the vertices has drawn the listener’s attention.
@@clubgrubbug Wow just listened to it. It really is very interesting! I need a few more listens to unpack everything that's going on there.
@@YogevGabay Glad you enjoyed it! Their entire catalog is worth a deep dive. Usually more like klezmer, surf rock meets meshuggah, played by a djinn, or...I dunno...something like that.
10:10 7 doesn't divide 360.. it should be some multiplier of 210 I think, no?
I mixed it up yes, my mistake. It was suppose to be 420. I'm editing that part out as we speak.
dude i would love a break down if exaco i by liturgy! tbh their songs are funky but also black metal
I'd like to see your take on Modul 35!
Bartsch actually has a score of that one on his website
I wish I could grasp any of this lol
Man I love your videos, fuck the blockers.
And what a pitty that ECM doesn't allow people like you (contributing such great content) to talk about "their" music and to promote artist like Nik Bärtsch's Ronin. I don't get it...
Oh don't get me started. There are bands that I simply can't discuss because of it.
ah cool u know about nik. i met him back in 2004ish. really groovy band. dunno if he plays with the same ppl nowadays. his percussion guy used to play with dj bobo :D lol.
Oh yeah he got recommended a lot in the comments, so I found out about him through that!
all together sound like borscht
Ugh, fucking copyright zealots. Good workaround.
Interesting song, but I only see a 5 minute version of it.
Try Spotify !
4:5 or Don't touch that fucking pint again
Sister of boby jarzombek
hahahahahahah love that guy
