I really appreciate how everyone used Lydian as a jumping off point for a bunch of conscious decisions about non-harmonic decisions. Treating pitch as an equal partner to rhythm, timbre, form, etc. made this so much better than “hey let’s just play up the minor seconds.”

They follow each other in this weird unsettling melodic tension but each moves you along to a more stable sound. The fun part is keeping the unstable as your primary groove with a teasing resolve. There, that's the secret to lydian and locrian. They're magic..

Try to simplify it a bit. Just use one piano, one guitar or one Game Boy and really focus on the weakness of the Lydian.

I actually like these more than most songs in lydian. Lydian often sounds too "nice" to me, its prettiness is what makes it sort of dull in the wrong hands. I especially like Shubh and Aimee's contributions. Aimee's is fascinatingly weird, I keep coming back to it. It inspires me to make weirder music. Shubh's is just a genuine jam and I'd gladly listen to a full version on purpose.

Yeah, ugly music isn't inherently bad. Ugliness is subjective like you say, but not only that, considered by itself, all ugliness is is ugliness. Just because ugliness is considered bad in many contexts, that doesn't mean everything that's ugly is bad. There are entire genres of music that sound ugly, like goregrind and harsh noise, but neither genre is inherently bad music; whether something sounds bad is even more subjective than whether something sounds ugly, but even if you personally don't like any goregrind or harsh noise, you may still be able to appreciate their existence as ugly genres. It's not just music, either. The same goes for art, films, books, etc. as well. Taking it even further, it's like how just because a person is ugly, that doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad person. Ugly people can be nice, talented, happy, etc. and ugly music, art, films, books, etc. can be nice, take talent to make, and it can be enjoyable.

Ugly doesnt mean bad. Think about it. A face could be ugly but the person who wears it could be the kindest most loving person.

Seriously though. Even if these pieces are amazing and revolutionary, keep the beautiful beautiful
One of the most inspiring video's I've seen in a long time! Great concept. Waiting for more modes-video's like this one :-)
Damn who knew I liked ugly music so much. Justice Cow's hit me in the right way and music is win felt very nostalgic but I think Shubh Saran nailed it for me. That's what my brain sounds like at night when I'm by myself.
Holy shit, whatever the fuck Aimee Nolte did evoked such a visceral response in me. Like, it literally made my eyebrows rise, my skin prickle and my head hurt. Awesome!

It could work in an off kilter psychedelic doom level
This open assignment collaboration style format is incredibly satisfying to watch. Great work everyone!
This is the most awesome challenge EVAH!!!! I love these pieces!
10:12 You could put those exact words, including rhythm of speach, pronunciation and all that, into Ben Levins mouth and I wouldn't notice. Very similar way of expression.

Loved this, Adam. Thanks for all you do - big shouts to the contributors of this vid too!
These exercises are the most fun and enjoyment I've had out of music in a long, long time. Thank you Adam and all your friends for doing these. My ears have been fertilized again.
