Ben it was a privilege to work with you, and fun also! Thanks for the help and all the inspiration
Hey - love your videos :-) so good to see you in a Ben Levin vid
Very cool one take rhythm exercise! Also love the cross over video on your channel, Jake!
I love you both, you guys are amazing
Thanks for new radiohead track
"As and experiment, think about what you've spent the most time learning, and try to hide it in your music rather than feature it front and center" Phenomenal advice!
The dynamics test is a great tip! I’m going to try to play my hardest song as softly as I can.
5:56 got a Reich kinda minimalistic vibe there, cool!
Steve Reich has some music like this - difficult to play but relaxing to listen to. Some pieces that come to mind are Nagoya Marimbas, Piano Phase and Mallet Quartet
To me Music for 18 Musicians is his most relaxing piece
Ben just made neurodivergent ear candy
Sounds like another way to describe math rock haha
Sounds like how you'd describe his entire musical career. To be clear, that is complimentary.
King Crimson Discipline
@@chromaticswing9199 yeah, i was like "... this is just plini"
Love how much you've grown as a producer and tutor Ben, you've always been incredible and will continue to do incredible things. It seems lately you're just in a perfect stride for insight and content and I'm here for it.
Thanks mate, respect the hell out of you and your work.
I unconsciously count every music I hear. Regardless of how relaxed you were while playing, this piece will kick me out of any relaxed state I am in - "WHAT METER IS THIS???".
Me too but I find counting relaxing sometimes.
Some moments in that really sounded like they were straight off In Rainbows, well done!
your creativity is yet unmatched. Go on Ben!
Love having you back, Ben. Can't afford your courses or private classes but your videos are always incredibly inspiring and innovative. Thank you so much for coming back!
“This seems impossible, so I have to try it”
I love this so much! So much so called "relaxing" music out there is just so simple and repetitive that I find it distracting (and boring), whereas this really is relaxing but gives my brain something interesting to latch onto at the same time. Lovely work!
2 step forward and one step back. A good concept for a composition/improvisation.
Ben, I've been using your lessons lately to write with my pocket operators, and my "music" has become even stranger than I could ever imagine.
Thank you for that.
It should be interesting, incorporating this video into what I'm doing.
This HAS to be somewhere I can listen to when I study. It was able to bring me stillness and calmness while sufficing the needs of my easily distracted brain that insists on thinking of multiple things at the same time
I need more of this in my life
Came here from Mr Signals channel & you know why - great tune as well!!
Great, now put it in 32edo with C=432hz
But for real, this is truly inspiring to see you pull off. Incredible.
comment for the algorithm. thanks for expanding my horizons.
Musical habits. I never noticed it before but good idea to be aware of it.
Love this! Also i got nostalgia for old Cornelius songs from your track...
I know a relaxing song with complicated rhythms! Toby Driver - Glyph. :)
toby ruuuuules
I think Melodic Breakcore/ Jungle would've been perfect for this challenge
It’s somehow relaxing and super intense at the same time
Thanks for the relaxed playing advice!
This was great, I’m a drummer but loved doing this in guitar eventually I learned it and didn’t have to think of the rhythic technicalities of it.. Shoved it on the kit after this.. great thing to learn thanks..
You’re such a legend man. Keep being odd.
Ben, I am so grateful for all of the things that you put out into the world! You have deeply influenced how I think about being creative, and it's also always such a joy to see what you come up with
This is Brilliant man. Nice and big thanks for sharing all of this.
Ben commented that we should try to hide a difficult technique / passage that learned to master. This allows to generate contrasts, dynamics and differences between song sections and songs. To me that is critical for music.
Furthermore, playing same tricky thing over and over gives an impression that it is the only thing you know. Playing it once gives an impression that "Dude has tons of tricks, but he does not bother to show them all".
I love this idea - and I think you executed it well. For me personally where these pieces fell short of 'relaxing' was in the timbre. The guitar tone whistling notes in the piece in 5 took me out of it, as did the synth tone in the piece in 9.
Great stuff Ben! You're a great teacher!
Thanks brother! Your vids mean a lot to many. Very informative, in an extremely unique way. Cheers man!
Great work, this is the touch inspiring music I needed today
I love how this sounds like the quiet moments in TTNG ❤️
i cant belive the quality of bens videos and online identity both as a youtuber and a musician.
beautiful and educational 😊
Reminds me of the soundtrack to the french film “savage planet”
this video is amazing
why is this so calming🥺🔥🔥
I love what you do and your ideas so much, I know whenever I watch one of your videos, I'm going to leave with so much inspiration. Thank you for all you're doing
Epic job by both of you!
Sounds lovely Ben!
Good advice as always, Ben
Thank you, Dr. Levin! ❤
amazing video and tips, you are the best!!
Thank you for the sleepy music fellow Ben
I feel a bit of Steve Reich at the end. Very nice!!
Amazing! I would love to listen your old band group music! How can I find it?
EPIC video!
damn, freak machine truly was lifetimes ago :c
Interesting concept
I’ve also had the thought of trying to make a super stressful song with something like a bossa nova beat which is really relaxing usually.
That sounds pretty hard. We know crunchy chords won't do it alone, bossa loves crunchy and makes it sound smooth somehow. How fast am I allowed to crank it? lol
I feel like you could play cat-on-a-piano chords but if they sat in a bossa nova groove at a low/mid tempo I would still feel like I'm on the beach chilling
genius! 👏
Ambient Dillinger Escape Plan vibes at the end
what in the math rock!? (that's beautiful)
hell yeah.
Instant sub. Wonderful - engaging - beautiful - magical. Cheers. Lee
Was just looking at your channel and saw you uploaded just now! what a coincidence
some thall over this beauty would be incredible
I mean, this is kind of the idea behind liquid DnB and some breakcore
you just discovered math rock
Idk why, but one of the sounds used kinda sounds like a duplicant breathing in oxygen not included and I cannot unhear it
Intense looking musicians playing ambient music you say? Have you tried watching a live video of Sunn O)))?
this is like, math rock?
How much can I pay for full Freak Machine scores, for at least one instrument, like guitar, drums or bass ?
Humanity is doomed to keep inventing minimalism
that can sound like a bad thing, maybe?
So... King Crimson?
Soooooooo Chopin/Philip Glass?
* cough cough * djent
0:40 Is so lovely I’d like to sleep to this ..
Excited to learn new things
4:18 😍
This is so emo math rock
Rhythic…😂
I do not like that rhythm at all!
Some-thing...
