Little bit of info on the patterns in this piece: The big “keyboard smashes” at the bottom end are meant to represent a drum; the big “arrays” (I guess?) are a sort of background noise; the “smashes” at the top end is meant to be a hi-hat of sorts. They are meant to add a sense of other instruments while only being a piano.

Matt: Thinks the trills are cheating The song: What about this pixel art we added that's set to 1% volume?

No one is going to comment at the fact that the numbers that came flying down from the screen in the MIDI is the first 7 digits of τ, which is essentially π times 2: 6.283185 The note count even symbolizes this: The MIDI has 6,283,185 notes, which again are the first 7 digits of τ.

I love Tau, ty for making this! I do think the time signature changes helped to add some variation to the piece, and that rainbow part is simply iconic (-ally ridiculous).

I really enjoyed watching this video, you have some really interesting things to say about this type of music. To answer your question at 6:24, this was an entirely original composition by HDSQ. If you're looking for some more black midi videos to react to, I would recommend Pi by TheSuperMarioBros2 at 3.1415 million notes, 9KX2 by TheSuperMarioBros2 at 18 million notes, Ouranos by HDSQ and The Romanticist at 24.3 million notes, or a midi called Unify at 15.6 million notes by a whole team of people, and was started by HDSQ. It showcases a lot of "blacking" styles by people all over the world. (Unify is one of the longer midis at over 17 minutes, but sounds amazing). I'd also recommend some black midi videos that show the sheet music for them (I have a few hehe). I think you'd enjoy them.

I've given it a few views, and I have to say, we have found a quasi-successor to HDSQ's Tau. The one that XCY made is missing over 423,000 notes, but he got the length of the video correct to preserve tradition (12 minutes 56 seconds, due to 4 times π being 12.5663706...)

It's almost like putting a white noise machine or bgm in the background while playing music.

I actually commented on that song the same day that this comment was posted stating that "Can anyone make a playable version, please?"

"now this is impossible to play because its bigger than normal piano size" when that song is playable?

I don't think spamming the note is cheating, I really think the different tone of a key being pressed at such a high frequency is important to the voice of that note. Howrver I feel like many of the notes are soft and purely for the visual art. This is close to cheating in my opinion, but it also turns this into a visual art piece, the removal of which would arguably also detract from the song.

This was composed as a black MIDI by HDSQ. It's an original.

Big chunks of notes on the bass ends are supposed to be kick and snare.

Imagine someone playing this at you school talent show 🤣

Tau (6.28) is pi (3.14) times 2

how do you recognize chords

@matticawood

Жыл бұрын

I can usually work out chords by how they sound next to each other (using relative pitch) so if I know the first chord is B minor..I can hear that the next one is A major because of how it sounds after B minor. It’s down a tone and has a major quality of sound…I don’t know if that makes any sense 😂

Uhuhuhuhuhu "me ded in tau song"

The Nuker 4 be like: *am I a joke to you?*

The Song name is related to its notes since tau is 6.2 something and that's the amount of notes

looks like a tune from a 8-bit game pretty cool tho

It sounds like”I was made for lovin you”

Mathew how did you not realize that tau is the number of pie x2

This reminds me of that "Nyan Trololol" black midi

1:12 When the allegra kicks in

You should do one on Unify. 17 minutes long black MIDI with a lot of notes and a lot of songs.

Got a simply piano add at time 5:38 on the video they want me to play this song

2:37 heavenly
