Goodman of that era. They would have really fast tempo songs, angular lines, chromaticism, things like that, chromatic notes. - Chromatic notes are just notes next to each other on- - Next to each other, yeah - ... on the keyboard. - I like to think of it as connecting notes.
But I just thought of the example-- we heard just the piano-- you tried either other keyboards, and I thought, well, why keyboards, maybe just a non-chromatic percussion? It can be anything. This is just a little slice.
425 I think that's the figures they they gave stanf for tuition I think now is slowed down in chromatic tones so inviting you sometimes wonder the
As Goring put it, an examination of these contrasted outlines shows most strikingly the difference between criminal types, as registered We are also the only mammals that try chromatic vision, seeing in the three basic colors, and not all mammals have it.
the score. So they play the colors that are projected in this on on the stage. And also there's public sculptures that use the sono chromatic scale as well. So in this case, this is a song. You can download an app on your mobile phone and then you walk underneath the sculpture and then you can listen to a melody and
your eyes were moving over the surface of that part of the image your photoreceptors in your eyes were responding to the chromatic properties of that part of the scene and correspondingly your brain was being affected by that part of the same and
He's good, he's good. And then trumpet, could you play chromatic so it starts on D and it goes -- it's a sneaky little part -- It goes like that.
But at this point, all that stuff sounds to me like an incredibly genius five-year-old or something. So by upside down, I'm meaning chromatic inversion.
There's not a kind of computational way that I think about that. Have you ever tried applying these methods to instruments that are percussion or non-chromatic percussion? Yeah, definitely. I write a lot of percussion music.
I feel like I'm in "The Graduate." It was plastic. Although today we still have someone who has made a saxophone with a chromatic fingering system, a unique, remarkably acoustically well
But at this point, all that stuff sounds to me like an incredibly genius five-year-old or something. I'm going to play you the first "Goldberg Variation." And for the audience there, chromatic means he's not playing at the same scale, necessarily.
But at this point, all that stuff sounds to me like an incredibly genius five-year-old or something. Yeah, and what it means when you're doing a chromatic inversion is that you're making virtually zero choices.
you can ask for some Lady Gaga dessert and then you can hear some Lady Gaga dessert. So uh this was actually presented three days ago in in San Francisco and and we're doing some experimental uh sono chromatic dinners where people eat different songs. So now I can compose music as well by looking at things instead of playing an instrument. I can just look at different colors and then I hear the music in my
Why? The first thing is, up until him, the people who really pushed music and that he took a little bit from-- you had Rimsky-Korsakov in Russia, who was pushing music with chromaticism, making chromaticism kind of sexy, and when Rimsky-Korsakov looked at Debussy's music, he said, Debussy has absolutely no talent whatsoever.
created this language of improvisation that was far more sophisticated than the swing players of the big band era. You know, think of people like Benny Goodman of that era. They would have really fast tempo songs, angular lines, chromaticism, things like that, chromatic notes. - Chromatic notes are just notes next to each other on- - Next to each other, yeah - ... on the keyboard.
So as you can see, I'm sliding the notes to kind of bring a little bit more continuity, a structure for the scale. But when I'm generally performing with Western music, I do have to tune the instrument to chromatic style. So all the minor notes will be on the left, and the major notes will be on the right.
Well, they changed their mind. just the very bottom note is one, and then just going up the scale not counting the chromatic notes, so going up the scale one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
at the time, these instruments were kind of really newfangled inventions and were kind of like the Google of yesterday, so to speak. New forms of tuning, for example, in Bach's time, and then later advancements in chromaticism with Wagner, for example-- these things that dazzled musicians and listeners alike. And they presented really endless forms of variations.
there so that the improvisers know where it is, and we can play around it, and so on and so forth. But it was just these three elements-- a bass line, then a inner voice that was moving almost chromatically, and then a melody that was kind of floating on the top.
