  • @FireyDeath4
    @FireyDeath4 Před rokem +58

    Black midi composers tend to put in a lot of redundant and very quiet notes to get the note count up. They aren't really meant to be performable by humans unless they're simplified, although compound sounds are generally totally impossible (this is where they mess with the waveforms by stacking notes extremely close together). People put a lot of focus into adding visuals and either piling things in until it lags with powerful graphics/audio hardware, or greatly slows down the render time, but it's still important to remember it's a musical genre, and it's good to focus on the piece sounding good and using the notes to help add auditory details and quality. Rush E 2 and a couple of Touhou tracks uploaded early on by TheBrowntown21 seem to do this fairly well.

    This is a very interesting video, it was cool how you stopped at each section as the midi got more impossible and explain it. It's always nice too see someone how actually knows what they're talking about, and not just some random kid saying "just roll on the piano to play this!!"

    Voiceplay is an acapella group known as the Theater Kids because they love to dress up in their videos. They are also very comical but keep true to the music but putting their own spin on the videos.
    They recently released a video of this. Dressing up as trolls around a cauldron.

    This one was one of the first times I've ever seen such a thing as "black midi" and back then i commented how it made me feel very dizzy (in a good way) because i got so overwhelmed and impressed by this impossible thing. Sometimes i wish i could erase my memory and get that first reaction again, just the sheer power this thing had over me... And now i like noise music :)

Whatever it's called in this instance, than there is extraneous stuff.

    I am surprised that you, Matthew, haven't mentioned the main reason for this type of "black" composition is it's visual impact. That audible result is not exactly pleasing and of course it's impossible for a human to play (though you do a very good job of parts of it). But it's very pretty to watch, like a '90's Laser Show. I would never criticize you and I enjoy your reactions to everything I've seen. What I haven't seen that I would like to see is your reaction to Gershwin, specifically Concerto in F. It's fascinating rhythm (pun intended), split second timing, the weaving of many themes leave me breathless! Gershwin never plays anything the same way twice. I wish Rousseau would digitize it, I'd love to see that! Anyway, kudos on your channel and I'm watching!
