I’ve been working on this video for months and, unfortunately, in the past week, events in the U.S. have proved just why it’s so important to tell these stories. Every day, it’s becoming more dangerous to be a queer person in this world despite the fact that our modern culture is fundamentally shaped by the queer trailblazers in the past. -Polyphonic

oritteropo Sifted the first video I saw of Polyphonics *related=https://videosift.com/video/What-Makes-John-Bonham-Such-a-Good-Drummer when I got deep in and finally Sifted this one... That's a great one too.

As impressive a skill as polyphonic singing is, I think most of the time, from an aesthetics standpoint, it sounds like crap.

"I think the album as a whole is pretty excellent. It's just that this is like unbelievably, divinely good."

..and that's good that it's nice and that it is good...and divinely so.

Amazing what a polyphonic synth and some heroin can do for some folks, innit?

Protentoise Bullshit its like guchi handbags of synth industry.
also could produce this exact sound in off the shelf fotware package for under £50 to an extent that I bet people could not tell the difference.


SPOILER ALERT: Look at the acronym, and then at the date at the beginning of the video.

It's the new puppy-shaped, polyphonic Theremin.

Indeed you're correct that gregorian chant is monophonic, so, strictly speaking, this isn't gregorian chant. However, Biebl most certainly used gregorian chant as an inspiration for the piece. The first 30 seconds or so are gregorian chant, and so are the solos. Thanks for bringing music theory into this with the great comment.

not sure about the 'gregorian chant' tag, though... this was a polyphonic performance - and if i'm remembering correctly, gregorian chant is/was monophonic

anyway, nice sift

OMG this one has to rate high in the pantheon of awful Microsoft commercials. But as cringe-worthy as it was, I couldn't help but think that the software itself might be kind of neat. Damn you Microsoft.

You like midi music, eh? I've got some polyphonic ring tones I'll sell ya for a song!
