So, girls and boys, I am back!
Have you missed me?
No?
Come on!! At least did you miss the results of the guessing game set on Sunday???
There were already those who asked when will be the answers revealed? Well, I promised the results for this evening, as earlier would not be possible. I was the special guest in the world of miss migraine. To be honest, I didnt want to visit her, but she just pulled me into her world. The doors were locked, and it was not easy to find out the way from there. Luckily, some of the comments that the Sunday post received made me laugh and I felt better; it gave me some more optimism.
And you all are also optimistic to see did you win the game? Did you give the right answers to the questions? Are there even winners in this edition?
A big mystery - until some of the next paragraphs :D
metronome beats
The metronome was a big issue there. First, it was playing with me and refused to work properly. And later, I see it played with all of us. The exact number of the metronome was difficult to guess. Counting them was the only option, but it couldn't be heard, so yes, that was not easy. For that reason, as a part of today's video, I set the sound of the metronome so we hear it and count the tick-tacks. Also, I am showing my abilities in mathematics hahaha.
Btw, did you know the metronome can be also used as a musical instrument not just as a device to help us set the tempo and practice the sense of timing? A Japanese coposer Toshi Ichiyanagi wrote a piece called Music for Electric Metronomes in 1960, a pretty avant-garde composition. It is an aleatoric composition that means some of the elements of it are left to chance and to the determination of the performers. You can check it out here. But what I wanted to show you is the composition by György Ligeti, Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes. I wonder, how would my mischievous metronome work together with another 99 ones.
This would definitely be more difficult to count. We were lucky that I set just my metronome for our guessing game.
music
Until now we know what it wasn't!
It was not a piano piece from the classical music genre. It was not an instrumental cover of a song. It was not Jingle Bells as @audiohive-me said, well it was Ruth who offered her guess. It would be a bit eerie Christmas carol. Neither was it music for lifts as @edje said. No, it is not music from the Westworld TV series either, @leaky20. There were people who tried to use Shazam, like @samostically and @almostsober, however, the tune was changed and no answer to the question came. What it was can be heard in the first part of the video, this time I played with accompaniment that resembles more to the original version. I played it this morning in my classroom before the first student arrived.
So, you will try to guess again or I say the answer?
Ok, ok, the music is from a TV series I really liked to watch, Dexter. The theme: Blood Theme, composed by Michael Hall. And we had one participant who guessed from the first attempt: @leourrio31. He was right from the beginning, however, he didn't guess correctly the number of the metronome beats. Later, @edprivat also said it was Dexter, but he was not the first to say it.
comments that made me laugh
I really loved reading your answers, some were serious and some very funny. Some people came just to greet me, thank you my dear @littlebee4, @peaq, @naradamoon and @musicandreview for your engagement and shown kindness!! Also thanks to @khaleesii , @draysax and @ludmila.kyriakou for the guess. Unfortunately, the exact number of metronome beats was not given.
However, there are some winners in this game. All of us are winners for having fun but also I decided to give two small prizes to the one who guessed the music from the first attempt @leourrio31 and for the comment that made me laugh the most, written by @trashyomen. Check it out and try not to laugh. Impossible, right?
I will guess it was at least 3 clicks, perhaps 5. And for the song, at first, my phone was on mute so it was the sound of silence XD
🤣
If you checked the new video, you can see how I get the number of the beats that the metronome marked. As I already mentioned, I set the volume of the metronome footage on and put a bit lower the volume of the music. The answer was 75!
In the first part of the video I play again the same tune, but with a different accompaniment, a bit more similar to the original version, Blood Theme from Dexter.
I hope I didn't miss anybody to say once again thank you for your participation, and to ask, next Sunday another question can come? The two winners will receive 1 hbd each in their wallet, soon :))
▶️ 3Speak
It's good that our answers amused you, and did not make you cry 😂 😂 😂
Yes, the comments made me laugh and feel better :)
Although I am sorry nobody guessed the correct number of the metronome...
Music was guessed though, it was from the series Dexter. Have you watched it? Well, I am not sure would you like it?
No, I haven't watched this series .
I watch films that my son records and adds subtitles because I don't know English.
Then it is better not to ask him for this one. It is not really suitable for all generations.
OK!
Yes, indeed not for everyone. Too much blood and maybe bizarre scenes. Stil, I liked it that much that watched all the seasons and episodes 😂
I won??? YES!!!! I KNEW IT WAS 3 CLICKS!! XD
Jokes aside, are you feeling better from your migraines? They can be nasty
I preferred a lot more your video than the metronomes one. You clearly played the show opening better than György Ligeti did with his metronomes
!1UP and I will be looking forward your next challenge!
Yes, congratulations, you won!! :))
The phone on mute and sound of silence was the winning guess 🤣
Yes, hopefully, migraine is letting me now at least two-three weeks without her attention. But I never know when she is back.
Appreciating a lot your compliment, but you know this time it is not for reward, right? {lol} :
Thank you 😇
and thanks for 1up and for the breakfast 🍕 :)
I hope they never come back, but I know that this is too much wishful thinking
The compliments are genuine and I'm glad you liked!
The first time I wasn't expecting a reward either (other than making folks laugh!) So the rewards was a pleasant surprise! One that was unexpected and won't influence me in my future messages on your posts! (But please feel free to throw money my way every time you feel like it XD)
No prob! Both were well deserved!
They will come back, but it is nice to hope that will not. Somewhere, over the rainbow, there are no migraines... I should move there :D
The reward is a small detail, but that lady bathing in money surely has to be very funny. She obtained so many banknotes, probably earned in some guessing game? lol
Well, tomorrow is Sunday, I already have one thing in my mind, but according to my idea, it will not be a music connected topic :))
Sorry for taking so long to reply!
Seems like a great place to live! Tell me if property and leaving costs are cheap XD
The gif I believe is from the tv show "That's so Raven" about a teenager with psychic powers, she could easily get some big bucks from cash money XD
I need to see what you posted!!
!1UP
hahah, ok, when I check living there I will inform you. Btw, rainy days came, so strange for my place, but it means rainbow has the chance to appear after these rainy days!! Good news!
Well, I think you just saw it these moments, I am trying to respond to a whole day backlog of comments and posts, and I see new appearing comments in the meantime lol
Miss Migraine: A new person is born? Any family to all the others? Soon, Deadline, Time, Mañana?
Dexter: Trying to keep the new series alive, and help spread its dark-ish vibes?
Metronome: Aren't you bringing the metronome a lot of pain? Always forcing to ticky-dee-tack, but as you can see, it doesn't want to ticky-dee-tack at all! It simply doesn't know how quickly it seeks the point of total rest and silence.
Funny comment: Absolutely, super difficult not to laugh. It almost killed my laptop when it started dancing on my belly (in chill mode big time while reading and writing my insanely useless comments).
Yes, this one exists for some time, and you know the author of her. However, as I am hanging out with that old-new miss M, (maybe relative to the family, yes) she became my friend.
Even my playing couldn't change the destiny and the end of the dark-sided Jimbo.
Of course, I am bringing a lot of pain to the metronome. It freaked out from me and that is how it is responding now. Totally exhausted from me, it had no other choice just pretend it was in a dying stage.
Two facts: 1. You picked the wrong posts to open if you stayed without a good laugh for a big time before reading that comment. 2. Your laptop can not be killed, lots of pillows would protect it from any damage. 😀
Metronome: I feel a little sad for him, must have quite a boring life. Either resting doing nothing, or being forced to tickerdeetack. He can't feel free, I can imagine. Or maybe he does.
Jimbo 😂
Miss: we shall explore how the relations are with the rest of the pack. Something for a rainy day 🙃
hahahh, feeling for the metronome. but it ( well, now we should open the dialogue whether it is it, she or he) is listening to me playing the piano, so must be me playing wrong ( or the students) and it decided to go to a silent place.
Exploration and investigation on the topic is welcome!
btw still raining here
sad to read it's still 🌧️ where you live. were I live its ☀️ but 🥶
today sun came out ☀️☀️☀️
mix, remix and upside-down worlds of the comments and topics... wen next episode? (lol, I had to use when without the h hahaha )
you are becoming one with crypto with your 'wen' 🙃
That is great ! Always loved that serie so that was a no brainer. I can't wait for the new season of Dexter new blood 😍
You made me laugh first and then became melancholic with this aleatoric metronome piece too haha. Melancholic because it reminds me of my contemporary music teacher who one day sent me this metronome video where they all synchronize which, If I remember correctly, is a common phenomenon.
He introduced me to Ligeti too (Lux Aterna is still my fav). So it is always nice to recall and never forget !
John Cage was also a big lover of that kind of stuff. I remember he used to have his I Ching
and he made Music of Changes using that as a base.
Interesting story too : I wrote my master thesis on timing in musical human interactions which is a really fascinating subject. I'm gonna try someday and write an article about it.
Ahh the good ol' days 😚
Wow, the metronome synchronization thing is so cool, now you refreshed my memory, I do remember knowing this fact but totally forgot about that!! Thank you!!
Dexter, New Blood, already watched the whole season :D it was so many years of pause since the last season. I should not say you anything, better if you watch it and see the surprises :)
Hmm, haven't heard of this piece Music of Change by Cage. Some time ago I uploaded here one piece by John Cage, In a Landscape.
Sounds an interesting topic. For sure, we would love to read that article coming from you :))
Ok this was great, I'm going in parts... after reading and watching both videos I had to go to the previous post and that post also took me to the previous one because I wanted to know details about voyager, it's amazing @mipiano 🙌😀💛.
Seeing the dynamics above, I would never have guessed the piece of music and 2nd I would have lost on the 1st try, because I just did the exercise of counting the beats of the metronome and I counted 77, and here in your post the count is obviously 75... many know They had fun and you more hahahaha, there were very funny answers, everyone had a great time 💖.
I hope you're better from the migraine, I know it's horrible, I've never had it but I know people who have, and it seems to be something strong when it happens!!!
PS: the video of the metronomes is crazy hahaha, the sound of horses came to my mind, hundreds of them walking through the streets, I'm sure someone who suffers from a lot of anxiety will not see it in its entirety, but it's incredible 👍😉🔥🎶❤️🌟🥂💥💫💯☮️
I agree, Voyager is an amazing friend :))Thank you so much for checking out all those previous posts @fernanblog.
The answers were funny, indeed. I hope people had fun as much as I :)) and you are welcome to participate any next time.
Yes, I feel very good now, hopefully, it will stay like this for some time :) and if not, well I am used to going through it. It always ends one day hahaha
Well, naradamoon said rain. But now you say horses, that too!!! Also, it is like applause. Someone here in the comment section posted a video of metronomes that after some time synchronize. It is so interesting too!
Yay Voyager is amazing and will be a great friend on your adventures without a doubt 🙌😀💛!!! I'm glad you're better 🙏💖 and yes, I saw that many had fun, that was the coolest thing, hey I overlooked that video, I thought it was a meme hahaha, I'll see it, and count on it I'll be here visiting you and seeing what a surprise you bring us with your guessing games 👍😉❓❔🔥🔥🔥
PS: I just saw the video of the 32 metronomes, it's incredible 😲
Hahaah, no, it was not a meme :D
I am glad you watched the video, amazing, isn't it? how can they synchronize? just wow!!
Today is Sunday, so yes, I have a new game on. Not music this time...hm, but some plants :))
Incredible that video 😮, I'm honest I didn't know that this phenomenon could happen, that all the metronomes almost in unison stopped!!!!
I'm already going to see your post from yesterday to see what you bring us with the great guessing games 🙌😀🔥🎶❤️🌟🥂💥💫💯
Ok, prepare your vision and guessing abilities :D
Lol congrats to all the participants! You surely know how to entertain your audience @mipiano haha
I have to make up somehow for all my other flaws 😁
I sure missed you.
I kept coming to your post and was like, where art thou Mi? 😅😅😅
Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear this.
How are you feeling today @mipiano
This got me laughing as well.
Good to have you here today ♥️♥️♥️
Yeah, Mi was out of the game :/
It was absolutely not my way of being around, now I have to open the backlog of comments and replies and do my part :)) I am so much better today, back to normal almost!
And with positive vibes with this reception, even better 😇
I am so thrilled to hear this. Health is wealth.
And I am here to constantly serve them 😂😂😂
Heath is wealth, very well said @peaq. Wise words!
Speaking about that, I have again a strange feeling, but I hope just because of some hours of spending behind the screen and trying to respond to all comments 😂
Failing to finish the tasks and even open the ones I wanted to lol.
Lol. My people say "your body is not a firewood" meaning sometimes we want to push our bodies to do stuff but It just says "Sis I can't go on" 😂😂
That is true. We dont always manage to accomplish all we want, sometimes it says exactly that... thanks for your wise words peaq 🤗
Always welcome Mi ♥️♥️
How beautiful that you always create this type of dynamics that encourage dexterity. I didn't know that the metronome could be used as an instrument, but those 100 metronomes sounded like a soothing rain.
My musical heart continues to adore your piano interpretations 🤩😃🎶 for me it's all a pleasure to appreciate you. 🙏
Rain. That was my impression too while listening to the 100 metronomes!! Good match!
I hope there is dynamic in the posts for others too, while I am having fun it doesn't mean others enjoy in the same way hahaha. But good to know you are among those who do like it :))
😃🎶🙌👏👊💯🙏🎶🤗🎹
Yes I did, Noticed your absence immediately, anyways thankfully, you are back and feeling better, migraines can be a burden.
Also, I knew I didn't have a chance this week, it was pretty clear 😆
But you were around and made your guess 💫.
The metronome thing was not easy indeed :)
The first time I heard the word "metronome", I am so clueless when it comes to certain aspects of music.
How lucky you are, living without metronome :)
hahah, maybe better you haven't heard of it, it is a small device that especially students dont like at all 😁
Maybe it's because I don't play an instrument, could that be?
hahaha, maybe :)
Singers dont use it?
I don't know 😆 maybe I am not a singer
So it was Dexter! I should have asked the genre of the series or at least the streaming platform that broadcasts it, although that would have made things much easier for me 😅, anyway, it was fun to be part of this fun dynamic. Of course we look forward to the rematch 😏, maybe I can get it right on the next one. I congratulate you for your creativity dear mipiano! Greetings!!!
By the way, not least, we hope your migraine is over and you are perfectly fine, we need you like this.🌷
Dexter, yes! Have you watched it and do you like it?
Well, the dynamic also depends on the people participating and bringing their vibe, and you two for sure know how to bring it :)
Rematch. I have no clue what to set now for the next one. Maybe I have to go back to the fruit juice thing hehehe? Sunday is so soon here!
Thank you guys, and for your hopes too. I need me like this too :D 🤗
Any time dear @mipiano 😊☀️💃🏻💃🏻
👋🏻Good morning ☀️
Good morning to you and your special day!! 🌞
👋🏻😊🤩💃🏻🌸👰🏻♀️🤵🏻♂️
💝 good night @littlebee4 :)
Thank you so much @mipiano 😊
😇
you are welcome, soon and a new good night will come hahaahah
😊
Yep… and it passes by so quickly hahaha 😴 and then we wake up again and it is morning ☀️
Noooo, not miss migraine! Boooooo
Sorry to hear that.
For the guessing game I was wrong on both accounts haha. that was a tough one.
The video of the 100 metronomes is pretty neat. It's like a strange experiment really. Like what would it sound like if every person in the world sneezed at the same time? 🤯
I know the smoothie thing is your favourite guessing game :)
Maybe I should bring that one back, this metronome was pretty hard to guess.
yeah, a big booooo for miss migraine!!
Hahaha, interesting experiment indeed. Ligeti is a composer I wanted to bring one day here to hive, but still a bit too big step (for me especially to do all the research around him).
🤣🤣
Interesting answers. I never really watched or paid attention to Dexter.
Nice to participate tho.
Dexter is a bit weird series, well I almost made a resume of it, but I will not. Maybe if you watch it one day you would like not to know what it is about. But on on taste of everyone, that is for sure.
Thank you for your participation @draysax 😀
I wish I would have seen this in time!!! I’m not so sure I would have gotten it. I think I would have, but then, I came into this having seen the answer ;)
I’ll keep my eyes open for the next one!!!
Yeah, indeed a bit late hahah, but will see if another guessing game can come this Sunday or another writing challenge. :))
Awesome! I’ll be looking for it :)
oops... you know, it is tomorrow, and I still have no idea what it will be 😆
well, wish me luck 😂
Hahaha!! Good luck!
I saw this wishing luck too late... so no post came from me today :/
It was just not the best moment, the starts didn't want me to bring anything 😆
I was trying to be a bit smart. Hehehehe, feels good to know i wasn't the only that tried. Anyway, I haven't watched dexter yet. But I heard it's a cool one.
How are you doing today? Have a more rest if you need, just take care.
!PIZZA !LUV
(1/1) gave you LUV.
H-E tools | connect | <><
LUV level requirements were changed. See the About page for current numbers.@samostically
I somehow never got the notification for this comment ;(
Or you responded to someone else's comment or I just overlooked it, sorry.
Using tools is ok, why not. One has to be resourceful :)
Dexter, had various seasons, years ago and now after a break of some 8 years or so, not sure how many, one new season came out.
Thank you, I am doing very well today, although I am replying to a comment from 4 days. I don't remember when I became 100 % well again, but it took some days, yes. Thank you for your care @samostically
Well, it doesn't matter. I'm happy to see you doing fine. And yes, Thank you for your support, I appreciate.
you are welcome
I also wanted to say you how nice the initiative you have for weekends, the engagement topic, but so far haven't made time to get there.
Super thing to keep people engaged, keep it up! 👏
It’s good to know you’re feeling better, I was getting quite worried cuz it seemed like you just disappeared for a while there. I guess I lost this time out too but in my defense I did say I was trash at guessing… the metronome was a very tricky one so that my excuse there but for the music I only realized when you said it was dexter…Ike I knew it was very familiar but I just couldn’t get it cuz it was kept in a box somewhere in my childhood, turned out to be a good memory work out🧠🏋🏽♂️
I will never disappear :) Well, just when health or too much work dont allow me time to be here. And even then, I try to make that time that doesn't exist hahaha. Magic.
Yeah, the metronome was challenging and Dexter came as I already finished watching the last season, the newest one. Watched all of them years ago when they were on. So many years of pause the series took.
For tomorrow I already have another idea for the Sunday guessing game :)
Hope that I can publish the post, as also tomorrow I have a gig.
I haven’t seen an episode in about 10 years maybe more, it used to be a favorite for me back then though, didn’t know they were making new episodes.
I’m sure you already have an idea for the game today, I imagine it’s a lot of fun for you making us feel silly like that😒. What’s worse is that it’s never something too abstract of impossible but it’s never easy too.. ok maybe Dexter was easy but it’s been almost 2 decades so I guess my point stands🤔… I hope you have a great time playing at the gig, I’m also hoping somewhere in my mind that you would surprise us with a video from that though but I know it might not be so easy so I’ll keep an open mind. Have a great one today and bring on the games😎
Hahah, sorry I just had to laugh at that sentence where you say I am making you feel silly. No! Actually, we are silly all. All of us, and it is great. You have to know, I have fun but the same fun I have when I participate in others' guessing games too. It is just we have to have a space where we can unwind a bit, have some interaction, and yes, have some good laugh all together!
yes, as you already have seen, the new game is on :D
Hello! you will continue doing that game on Sundays? hahahaha it looks fun, I had several days without stopping by here, but I see that there are new and fun things x.x
Well from what I read I understood that this Sunday you will do something similar again, right?
Greetings @mipiano, sorry for the forgetfulness, I've been quite busy these days, but I'm glad to see you active in hive as always c:
Hi @jaredkhamanah
Yes, I hope I will continue with the Sunday guessing games. There are weeks I forget or just dont have time to post, but the idea is to set those questions here and there. So far, setting one day to it goes better. Ok, tomorrow is Sunday, so if you like, you can check out the new one (if I publish it, but I hope I will)
Hi @mipiano , Happy #fungifriday 😁🤗
Hi @mirz happy fungifriday :))
I still didnt get to check out the fungi posts today, I suppose you had again a great one :)
