Q & A
Wie ist die Beziehung zwischen Jungle-Musik und Musiktheorie?
-Jungle-Musik ist eine Genre, bei dem die Produktion hauptsächlich auf Kreativität und Intuition beruht, anstatt auf formaler Musiktheorie. Es gibt jedoch einige Erkenntnisse und Tipps, die in diesem Video geteilt werden, um das Verständnis von Musiktheorie und deren Anwendung in der Jungle-Musik zu verbessern.
Welche Rolle spielt die Technologie in der Musikproduktion?
-Technologie hat die Musikproduktion revolutioniert, indem sie es ermöglicht hat, mit Computern und Samplern zu arbeiten, anstatt in großen Studios. Dies hat den kreativen Prozess für eine neue Generation geöffnet und ermöglicht es Produzenten, selbst zu lernen und Musik zu erstellen.
Was sind Parallelakkorde und wie können sie in der Jungle-Musik verwendet werden?
-Parallelakkorde sind die Transposition einer Akkordstruktur entlang des Klaviers. Sie klingen sehr 'jungly' und können durch die Verwendung von Pad-Samples oder durch das Aufspielen von Akkorden in Samplern und das Anpassen ihrer Tonhöhe verwendet werden, um sie an die Musik zu passen.
Was ist die Bedeutung von 'relative Major und Minor' in Bezug auf die Musiktheorie?
-Relative Major und Minorskalen haben alle die gleichen Noten, aber beginnen auf verschiedenen Tönen. Diese Konzepte sind wichtig, um zu verstehen, wie man Skalen und Akkorde in verschiedenen Tonarten harmonierend kombinieren kann.
Was sind die Hauptbestandteile eines Akkords?
-Ein Akkord besteht aus mindestens drei Noten, die gleichzeitig gespielt werden. Er kann durch Hinzufügen weiterer Noten komplexer gemacht werden und kann mit anderen Akkorden kombiniert werden, um Akkordprogressionen zu erstellen.
Wie können Stichproben wie Akkorde verhalten, wenn sie hoch- oder heruntergepitcht werden?
-Stichproben verhalten sich wie Parallelakkorde, wenn sie hoch- oder heruntergepitcht werden. Sie können in verschiedene Skalen geraten, je nachdem, wie viel sie verändert werden, was die Harmonie des Tracks verändern kann.
Was ist der Kreis der Fünfte und wie wird er in der Musiktheorie verwendet?
-Der Kreis der Fünfte ist ein Diagramm, das die Beziehung zwischen den Tonarten zeigt. Er hilft, die Ähnlichkeit zwischen verschiedenen Tonarten zu verstehen und wird verwendet, um zu bestimmen, wie man Stichproben oder Akkorde in verschiedenen Tonarten harmonisch anwenden kann.
Welche Rolle spielen Stichproben in der Jungle-Musik?
-Stichproben sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Jungle-Musik. Sie werden aus verschiedenen Quellen entnommen und in den Track integriert, oft durch Hoch- oder Herunterpitchen, um sie in die Musik zu passen.
Was sind die verschiedenen Skalen und Stimmungen, die in der Musik verwendet werden können?
-Es gibt viele verschiedene Skalen und Stimmungen, darunter die bekannten Major- und Minorskalen, aber auch viele andere aus verschiedenen Kulturen und Musiktraditionen. Sie bieten eine unglaubliche Breite an Möglichkeiten für die Musikproduktion.
Wie kann man Stichproben harmonisch in einen Track integrieren?
-Um Stichproben harmonisch in einen Track zu integrieren, muss man die Tonhöhe der Stichproben an die des Tracks anpassen, indem man sie hoch- oder herunterpitcht, sodass sie in die gleiche Skala wie der Track passen.
Welche zusätzlichen Faktoren können beeinflussen, ob Stichproben gut zusammenpassen?
-Zusätzlich zu den Noten, die in den Stichproben enthalten sind, können Faktoren wie Tonalität, verwendete Instrumente, Vibe und Thema des Stichprobeninhalts Einfluss darauf haben, ob sie gut zusammenpassen.

okay so I know what many of you are
probably already thinking and that's
that so many of the Great pioneering
jungle and German base producers didn't
really have any music theory knowledge
so why do I and what's the point in me
watching this
[Music]
video reaching out to the ladies
massive jungle is actually quite a
unique genre where so much of the
production is based on creativity and
Instinct rather than any formal music
theory knowledge and it shares a lot of
similarities with other genres like
hip-hop uh sample-based hip-hop where
almost all of the producers are
self-taught
affordable computers have opened up
music Mak into a new generation and
revolutionize the creative process
technology has been the most important
thing because without people being able
to go out and just spend a grand a
couple of grand on a computer and a
sampler then they couldn't L there's no
other way of lay down the music you got
you got to go into sort of a big Studio
or do this and do that so technology has
been the main sort of reason why people
go out and do what they're doing now an
understanding of sampling records and
shopping up drum breaks and distorting
baselines is just as valuable if not
more to artist trying to learn to make
jungle than having an in-depth knowledge
of Music Theory even though music theory
isn't actually essential to making
jungle and drama base there are a few
insights and tips and tricks I've picked
up along the way that I thought would be
really valuable to share in this video
today in order to understand some of the
concepts we're going to tackle later on
in this video I think it's pretty
important just to understand the
framework and some of the basics of
Music Theory so I'm going to cover that
very briefly now but if you want a more
detailed explanation i' suggest check
out this guy called um guy Michael Mo
who's got a really good uh video on
YouTube um going over many of the same
things okay so here we have a keyboard
and what this is essentially made up of
is 12 notes that repeat as we jump up
and down the keyboard so we go c c Shar
d d Shar e f f Shar g g Shar a a Shar B
and then back to C and this is an octave
from this low
C to this high C and we can go up
another one here so it's just these
repeating patterns of uh 12 notes these
notes are then combined in different
ways to make scales and two of the most
common scales you've probably all heard
of are the major and minor scales now to
make C major it's literally all the Y
notes from C up to C so we can just go
that's the c major scale and the a minor
scale is also all the Y notes but this
time we started at
a in order to find which of the 12 notes
here are actually in our scale um we
apply a formula and this is different
for all the scales so for the major
scale there's a specific formula and for
the minor scale there's a different
formula so for the major scale it's a
whole step starting on C we go whole
step and then another whole step missing
out these two black notes here and then
a half step and then a whole step a
whole step whole step half step and for
the minor scale we go whole step and
then we go half step whole step whole
step half step whole step whole
step so essentially the way to make
scales from the 12 notes in the keyboard
is to apply a formula which picks seven
notes out of them now what's one more
interesting thing to quickly touch on
here is the the c major here and the A
Min have all all the same notes which
essentially all the white notes and
these are called relative major and
minor scales and this is an important
concept to remember for later now even
though the vast majority of Music we
listen to these days and about 95% of
electronic music is built using uh just
the major and minor scales I just want
to quickly paint a picture of how vast
the world world of scales is and in
music we have all these modes so there's
seven different modes in Western
classical music uh of which major and
minor are a part of but if we go bigger
than that there's Egyptian scales and
traditional Japanese uh scales and
almost every continent and many of the
countries in the world have produced
scales over the their lifetimes of of
the birth of humanity till now so there
is an unbelievable breadth to the amount
of scales out there now in amongst these
scales there's also different tunings to
make things even more complex and most
people in western music apart from maybe
if you're Jacob Kier we use something
called equal temperament where we split
the o up into um each note difference is
100 cents difference from the from the
the next one which is equal to a semmit
tone but actually a lot of these other
cultures will uh use different ratios
everything's actually based in
mathematics for this they will use
different ratios to find out um how many
notes there are in their scales and
their relationship to one another and
there's there's a whole bunch of
different tuning systems in the world so
not only are there different scales but
there are different tuning systems uh so
it becomes incredibly complex and
actually very interesting to dive into
which is maybe for another tutorial but
I just wanted to show you the the vast
world of scales and tunings out there
and then we're going to bring it back to
the major and minor uh scales which is
going to be the focus for the rest of
this video the last thing to quickly
touch on in this basic section is chords
and chords are already simply three or
more notes played at the same
time so we can play a C major Triad here
which is a three note chord but we can
add more notes to make the ch more
complex and then we can combine
different chords together to make a
chord
progression now I probably could have
explained some of this a little bit
slower and gone a little bit deeper into
some of these topics like other
YouTubers have doing similar Style
videos but that's not really the point
of this tutorial I'm here to show you
how we can specifically apply some of
this knowledge to making jungle
[Music]
music yeah yeah yeah easy it doesn't
make you feel
easy so a second ago we talked about
chords and now I want to introduce you
into parallel chords now what parallel
chords are is taking a chord like this C
major 7eventh chord and then I have this
chord mode where if I put chord on here
on my keyboard and I press these
notes I can essentially play the chord
Now by just pressing one note on the
keyboard so what a parallel chord is is
taking that exact structure of the chord
the way it's been voiced at the keyboard
and then transposing that up or
down now these are really interesting
because one thing they sound very jungly
if I do this with like a pad sample
might be a better thing to show you you
can instantly hear that jungle um sound
coming
[Music]
through time your
PR crazy
[Music]
so you can hear that it has a bit of
that classic R sound to it and the
reasons for this are actually twofold
firstly uh a lot of keyboards actually I
think the Jupiter 4 might been one of
the first ones to introduce this in the
late uh 1970s and early 80s a lot of
keyboard manufacturers started to
include a chord function just like this
keyboard has here but actually the
second reason is to do with
sampling and so what happens is if I uh
record P out one of these seventh chords
[Music]
here quantize that so it comes through
correctly and bounce this audio down and
now I have a sample of that chord and if
I I load the quick sampler in logic here
and then I load that sample into the
sampler I take all this cord stuff off
so I'm just playing one
note now I'm playing this chord in the
sampler but if I pitch it up and down
[Music]
you can see the same thing is happening
I'm pitching that chord up and down the
sample of the chord this time so
actually when artists with with the
birth of the sampler in the the 80s and
9s the hardware sampler um when artists
would take chords from other people's
tracks or from sample CDs or sample
their own chords and play them in the
Samplers up and down you would get this
effect of these parallel chord being
pitched up and
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
down now the interes interesting thing
about parallel chords and something that
can be really confusing when you first
start out is even though the formula of
the note is going to stay the same uh if
I play this C here we're playing this C
major 7 chord as I transpose this up and
down the keyboard we're going to drift
into different
scales so if I clear this you see I'm
now playing in a C major so I've gone to
a completely different scale when I've
pitched this up and down the keyboard
and that can be one reason why it's
really hard um if you're trying to add
parallel cores to a track uh to make
them fit right because you're going to
be bringing in lots of notes from
different scales another thing that can
be really challenging is if you've
actually built your track on uh pitching
around a sampled chord or using parallel
cords because quite often you'll be
drifting into different keys so the
harmony of the track will be changing um
every bar or so uh and the answer to
this is all the rest of the ingredients
have to move as well so your base has to
move and all your melodic instruments
have to move to fit the new key um that
the pad is moving to and a good example
of of this is a song I was listening to
quite recently called Fast floor the
entitled one which is just a nice
rolling jungle tune but I think it
illustrates this point really well
[Music]
so this essentially brings me to the
Crux of this whole video and the thing
I'm really trying to explain here and
that is that samples are just like cords
and behave the same as parallel cords
when we pitch them up and down so let me
explain if I take a Triad this time so
if I take a C major
Triad and then I bounce that down in
into a sample and load that sample into
a
sampler what happens is if we look at
mixed in key here if I now play this rot
note of c and then I play plus five
semitones 1 2 3 4 five up play an F or
plus seven semitones from C play a
g interestingly looking at mixed in key
here what we've got is all of the white
keys going up and down the
keyboard so what this is really about is
something called the circle of force and
fist and this is probably the most
useful tool um I find in the whole of
Music Theory and what it is is these are
all the major Keys around the top and
all the minor Keys around the
middle and what it's showing us it in
essence is the similarity of these keys
to one another and so this C the
difference between uh the C and the g is
only one note different so the G has an
F sharp I think it is and the the
difference between the C and the f is
only one note difference so by playing
this C note here and then going five
semitones up or seven semitones to
either the G or the F we unlock uh we're
playing keys that are very similar to
our root key of C and we can also go
down five and seven semitones now one
other thing we can also go up an octave
so we can go C an octave
higher and f and g and high so you can
play with this all the way up and down
the keyboard these um these fourth
fifths and
octaves now this I'm just doing with a
chord sample but the same thing applies
with a just a sample from a record like
this one
[Music]
here if I pitch this up now if I clear
um mixed in
key so we're in E
Minor and if I go
up we're still an E minor up to a g
[Music]
so you will have some some uh extra
notes that come in especially when
you're doing samples that it this isn't
like a a strict science because of the
way the samples all the chords have been
made up by pitching them up and down you
will bring in some notes that are not in
your scale but the idea is that you're
pitching up and down to scales that are
closest to the one you're
in so how is this useful well this is
really handy when you're trying to add
samples to a track and if I based my
sample um say my track started with this
actual pad here and I was trying to
match my T sample to it what I can do is
I know that's in C major now what's
interesting is this uh tle is actually
in the minor key so what I could do is
look at this and go okay I need to to a
major key but the relative uh major
minor here is a minor so a minor has all
the same notes as C so I could try
pitching from E minor which is what my
sample is in Pitch this to to be an A
Minor and then that should have all the
same notes to C so the way to do this is
I need to pitch this um if I imagine
it's an e I've got to go 1 2 3 4 five
semmit tones up to get to an A so I can
come into this sample and Pitch it up
five semitones and now
[Music]
so now we've got an A Minor sample which
will actually have the same notes as
this uh this
[Music]
cord now even though the samples maybe
don't match perfectly there are some
things that affect uh whether samples
gel together or not like their tonality
and the instruments in them and their
Vibe and theme uh Beyond just the notes
that are in them but what we can clearly
see is they're both fitting perfectly in
the scale of a minor now that we've got
them both locked to the scale of a minor
we can try pitching them up and down to
see if any other variations work so
maybe I pitch this one down seven semon
just to see if the pad works at a lower
[Music]
register it's actually not bad down
there I could pitch the pad up an octave
from that
point sounds kind of cool I could go
maybe I go up to seven semmit tones from
there
[Music]
so you can hear all of these different
uh variations are working you can use
the plus five semones or plus S Plus an
octave or obviously the same minus uh
and find lots of different variations
with samples um to make them fit with
your song key and that's really it for
me today so I hope this has been a
useful little insight into some music
theory and how you can apply it to
adding samples to your tunes um and I'll
will catch you very soon in the next one
peace
