WHAT THE GIANT MEGALOMANIA-CAL MONSTER CAN OF *** IS THAT???

I'm sorry - I saw the words 'Yoko Ono'... laughed, then shat myself.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I think I managed to to isolate a recording of the vocal part only...

You'll need one of these to make that work:

As someone who has perfect pitch... Please kill me now.

[pianoman53]

Or you simply stop listening.

I could, and have... but the damage has already been done.

Ye.. I get it. I have a girlfriend from Asia. Sometimes she gets this candy, that she really likes, and asks me to try it. And ya... I wish then I just said no...

[gregh]

Ah, quarter tone. The other keyboards must be offset but a demisharp and a demiflat.

Some people play microtonal music that actually sounds good.

Doesn't perfect pitch embrace microtonality? Curious.

[joplinfreak]

You have got to be joking right? I can't believe I wasted 3 minutes of my life on such awful garbage.

A sense for pitch is learned. Someone who has no training in music, if he were to whistle randomly, would whistle notes that fall close to the pitches in the modern Western scale, which is 12 semitones, equally spaced, per octave. It's what people hear all the time, we get used to it.

We didn't always use equal temperament. Since Pythagoras the Western scale was based on ratios of simple numbers, like a frequency that differs by 2/3 or 4/5 from the base note. That was a problem for keyboardists and players of fretted instruments like the lute. When equal temperament was being pushed, people complained that it sounded wrong. They weren't used to it.

In India they use a scale of 22 notes. The Native American flute traditionally has five equally spaced holes, although modern flutes are also made that correspond to the modern Western scale so they can play in ensembles. All kinds of scales have been and are used.

But that music really was pretty bad.

Not really... I embrace the love for all of the twelve-notes being immaculately in tune, and hate it when they're not.

I'm okay if the notes are in tune with each other in a twelve-note system, so if I hear a piece played by a Baroque orchestra, I can accept that it's immaculately flat, but can handle it if the people are in tune with each other. Different temperaments are a bit weird...

Interesting. So either you're very lucky you were born (a) in the west and (b) relatively recently or there is a certain amount of learned component to it.

[perfect_pitch]

Actually I was born with it... no idea how you learn it.

But the equal temperament we use today is an artifice, and a recent one at that. I'm not doubting that the ability is one your born with (and I wasn't) but there still seems to be a bit of cultural fine tuning involved.

Interesting improvisation, I liked it!

That does seem to be another element of perfect pitch.  If it's a tone that's +/- 100 cents, it's really going to annoy them.  It's got to be right on target.
