How does this work?

>>82582070
Harmonic Minor is nice tho

>>82583911
What do you mean?

>>82584057
The piano is only pressing one key at a time but it sounds like multiple. How? And why DOES it feel like Arab music?

>>82584101
It feels like Arab music because it's a popular scale in that area, and it's not popular here. So we make that association

>>82584101
Sounds like there's a light sustain. And as to why it sounds Arabic, I suppose that's partly cultural. You've probably spent most of your life listening to Aeolian and Ionian (Minor and Major) scales that anything else sounds 'exotic.' And it's used there. Like the pentatonic scale can sound 'Oriental,' because it's often used in Asian music.

>>82584228
Thanks, I'll pretend I understood any of that.

>>82584101
Back in the old days before globalism, people mostly stuck to a particular style of music, with a particular instrument or set of instruments. It's just the traditional musical style of the region. Obviously television and movies have commercialized the hell out of it and use it to set the mood. You recognize it because every movie you've seen since childhood with that setting has had that style of music.

>>82584228
>pentatonic sounds Oriental
uh

AIIIEEEE HAAANAAA BAAAABAA

>>82584228
I don't know about pentatonic usage in oriental stuff but it has been used frequently on western music since the french impressionists 150 years ago, so I think it's quite ingrained into "western music".

>>82584256
tldr because those sequence of notes are common in those areas so it sounds like those areas

>>82584101
it "feels" like arab music because that is the particular culture and feeling that scale is assigned to in your mind through movies, music that comes from there, tv, games, etc

>>82585395
>>82585364
Name five

And is it a lie? Do they not play music like they do in the movies then?

>>82584228
It's not really used here.
Middle Eastern folk music is radically different from the twelve tone system the West traditionally used.
We consider it arabic by association via cinema, nothing more.

It's not any pentatonic, it happens to have 5 notes but what most people understand by pentatonic is either the major or the minor.

I feel people usually assume they're talking about a major or minor scale when pentatonic is brought up

>>82582688
It's a harmonic minor scale with a flattened 2nd.

specific cultures and time periods definetly have their own distinctive scales and sounds they favor

i mean, maybe a lot less to today, what with the world becoming so interconnected and what not, you can basically find the same kind of pop in every country. But go back 300 years and tell me each culture didnt have their distinct music and sounds and instruments. Yeah go back and do it, yeah thats rite bitc ya das riteyeasdsasitrightniggadasrightbitchyeufeelmeyeebitch
