@stephenbeck7222 3 місяці тому
Look up the overtone series and undertone series. The major chord is the 4th, 5th, and 6th overtones but you can’t get the minor chord directly (with consecutive overtones)?unless you go to the undertones, which are not naturally produced by instruments.
@factzilla1868 3 місяці тому
overtone vs undertone series is the idea at the heart of the whole negative harmony thing Jacob's famous for, aka harmonic dualism. but it's worth pointing out there's also the harmonic mononist school of thought who believe only the major triad exists and all other chords are some sort of alteration of that model
@antoniusnies-komponistpian2172 2 місяці тому
Major is 4:5:6, minor is basically 1/6:1/5:1/4. These frequency ratios also exist in the overtone series as 10:12:15, but higher and not as direct neighbours, so I prefer to see it as part of the undertone series.
@SamRoads 21 день тому
He's under-informed! Here are the overtones of a C fundamental: C C G C E G Bb C D E F#(but a bit flat) G Note the G Bb and D, which make a minor chord of Gmin. A great example of this is the slow movement of Vaughan Williams' 3rd Symphony, when played on a natural trumpet. It sounds quite mournful, as it leans on those minor overtones.

@cmflyer 3 місяці тому
The pitch circuit in a theremin consists of two oscillators, one fixed and one variable. The variable one is changed by altering a capacitor's charge with your hand (the hand becomes a capacitor plate, in effect). The pitch played through the speaker is the difference between the frequencies of the two oscillators, which have been designed to create audible tones.
@Bobbias 3 місяці тому
Very neat and super simple design.
@NiliMoto 3 місяці тому
Interesting, i didnt know that. That must mean the variable oscillators resonant frequency is not only determined by the distance of the hand but also by the area? So at the same distance the full hand will produce a higher frequency than a finger? At first i thought it was the other way around since low distance/big area = higher capacitance = lower resonance, but the output is the other way around. I guess that has to do with the output being the difference between fixed and variable osc and not just the variable osc itself. Please correct me if im wrong, this is fascinating!

There isn't a single person on earth with a greater natural understanding of music and harmony to the point of people wondering if he is even human because he is so talented :) Despite the depth of his knowledge, he has a great gift of being a musical educator. He can make difficult things sound understandable. All of the people I aspired to being when I was young were on a pedestal but Jacob makes music accessible to everyone on their own level.

RIP Dilla. I knew when he started talking about dragging or pushing forward the sounds of the drum he was going to bring up Dilla. Changed the game completely.

I love how he needs all these instruments because he’s so proficient in all of them he can answer pretty much any question or give some sort of relative insight
