Why did he do it

Because it sounds good?
Next question. Better yet, next thread. I ordered two Donkey Kong Bananza flame-war threads and I expect them in my catalog by the end of the hour. Hop to it, chum!

I mean Id do it too

There are only so many songs you can make

>>715989239 (OP)
I'm so tired of Youtubers using scandalous titles and having the exact opposite conclusion in the title.
>DID HE PLAGIARIZE?!
>No, but it sounds very similar! It's possible he was inspired by this music and used it as inspiration!
Thanks for wasting my time, faggot.

>>715989664
You gave them a view so he already won.

>>715989664
This is definitely not what happened here

>>715989656
Not really

>>715989664
Except in tobys case he did plagiarise shit. Or do you actually believe that someone who literally copied images and slapped a filter over them would not do the same to music?

>>715991992
I don't think you know how composition works

Toby's only good songs were in Homestuck

>>715989664
Just ask yourself if the video has like three clickbait signs and if it does just don't click the shit.

>>715992131
There's a virtually infinite amount of variations you can do with how many variables you have to work with, despite them having a limited amount of elements, like how there's only 26 letters in the alphabet but the amount of sentences you can form with them is basically limitless

>>715993279
yes but how many of them actually sound any good

>>715993279
As the other anon said they're heavily limited by what actually sounds pleasant or follows existing theory. You could make stuff like the Crazy Bus song but nobody's going to want to listen to it

>>715993392
>>715993658
Are you implying that it will one day become impossible to write an original yet high quality sentence in a book?

>>715994201
sentences in books are not equivalent to melodies I dont think

>>715989239 (OP)
None of these measures look even remotely similar.

>>715994201
No, because using that analogy Spear of Justice wouldn't be accused of plagiarizing Skyfire. The entire songs (sentences) are different enough, what's being scrutinized is the melody. It'd be more akin to creating an "original yet high quality" word. Like "Ggnrsgiosn". That's the alphabet equivalent of what you're saying should be possible, the Crazy Bus song. You can use nonsense words in your literature but unless they're really justified in context people are just going to think it was written by a retard

>>715994521
right? what kind of retard made this?

>>715994597
>The entire songs (sentences) are different enough, what's being scrutinized is the melody.
No, if you watch the video you'll see melody is just a small part of it

>>715989481
Id Software?

>>715996272
>if you watch the video
I'm not going to watch your clickbait video, OP.

>>715992108
ok retard

>>715989361

Video from an actual schizophrenic btw

All terminal Undertale seethers are mentally ill like this.

>>715999092
True, verifiably mentally ill

And somehow the fans are even more mentally ill still

6 1/4 notes is not equal to 4 3/8th notes and 2 1/4 notes you stupid fucking schizophrenic. Learn what time signatures are then kill yourself and never waste my time with this garbage again.

>>715989239 (OP)
>different key, different rhythm, different meter
>one song has 3 measures of six quarter notes and ends on 4. other song has one single measure of six dotted quarter notes and ends on 4.
>THEY'RE THE SAME!!!!!!
lmao
here we fuckin go again

reminder that this guy, who anons love to point out has a music degree, had never fucking heard Teddy Bear's Picnic before and tried to use it as some sort of gotcha against Kirkhope.
this is what his output sounds like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGX5LXKk34M&t=1147s
it is soul-releasingly perfect that he gives Spencer Nilsen so much shit for having to make an entire OST in a couple of months, then puts out something that not only sounds like it was made in an hour but also wildly off theme. wtf about any of that gives off "swamp" vibes?

>>715991992
how so?
not even getting into tuning systems, the range of human hearing is 20 hz to 20k khz. you literally can only hear so much.

>>715993279
>There's a virtually infinite amount of variations you can do
but a very specific range of frequencies that the human ear can hear.

>if you spend the time to go through every piece of music ever made, you might notice some similarities
>this means you directly copied it
This really is so fucking stupid. But it goes even further
>if you make a song, you have to be aware of every song ever made, otherwise you are stealing
The world you are trying to create is not a world for humans.

>>716002648
>those comments
i may have to watch this later

No one gave a shit about muh originality or any of this shit until very recently. People use to write music by stitching together parts they liked and making alterations or new chords as seen fit. Then someone would see that new piece and do the same and so and so on.
If you went back to 1800 to play some music from your phone to a musician of the era. They would be less surprised about the magic sound box you are holding than you telling them it'd be illegal to reproduce any part of that song for the 120 years

>>715994201
yes, actually. take away OC shit like character and place names and you'd be hard pressed to write a brand new sentence that isn't just nonsense

>>716003580
some people simply can't be reasoned with in their overwhelming autism

>>716004142
>If you went back to 1800 to play some music from your phone to a musician of the era.
they'd tell you it sounds like shit.
harmony was just a funny byproduct back then. it was all about counterpoint.

12 TET has been around for 500 years, every possible combination of notes has been tried. it's not that people back in 1890 didn't know about them, it's that they thought those combinations sounded like shit and that "true" music followed strict common practice.

>>716005937
That's pretty interesting, I wonder what caused the shift in standards

>>716006058
i'm willing to bet it was accessibility. music was for the wealthy, noble or influential back then. then it trickled down to the common folk and they, being unable to afford professional lessons from a "master," just started doing whatever they thought sounded good.
basically the same way jazz came into existence.

what the fuck is this schizo shit?

So do most songs

They're the ramblings of a literal schizophrenic.

>>715989664
Have you ever noticed that YT titles are always negative? It's always 'The X controversy is insane', 'Why Y is bad' and 'Z sucks, here's why'. I like to play a game of trying to find a neutral or positive title and count how many videos it takes to get there (it's usually 30+). Maybe my algorithm just sucks.

>>716004289
No one was writing about characters calling each other on the telephone 1000 years ago

Ye. Bobby Prince got told by John Romero to make Doom's music sound like the pile of heavy metal discs he piled up on his desk and it's surprising that id never caught any flak (nevermind that Bobby got to keep the copyright of Doom's music so he gets liberties, which is why part of the reason PSX Doom had a different soundtrack)

>>716006710
>denisovians invented common practice

>>715999092
How long until he troons out?

>>715989361
This. The way I see it, the composer's job is to make a good soundtrack. Copying songs is unethical, but there's degrees to this. A NES/SNES games where the musician isn't collecting a dime on it anymore is fine, because they cannot benefit from you contacting them and asking them for the melody.
Not only that it's transformative. Toby used the melody, but he didn't use the song. That's a big difference.
On a moral and workmanship angle, I can't find fault in Toby's practices. At most I can say that he should go deeper and steal classical melodies because classical /mu/ threads on /v/ would be great to see.

>>715999092
I wish there was a good term for this behavior. It's schizo obviously but I mean the snivelingly pathetic
>Someone else is famous so I need to try and chase fame by tearing them down

>>715989239 (OP)
He's autistic. If you watch his other videos you'll see what I mean.

>>716006936
the best part is it's not even the same sequence. it's just six notes. the voices don't even travel similarly.
Alex Yard is a clown.

>>715989239 (OP)
>conveniently leaves the channel name out of the pic
>look inside
>schizo with vendetta
>almost certainly made this thread himself
Like clockwork, how do you convince yourself this would pass on 4chan of all places

I remember thinking Alex Yard was pretty good back when he just covered Sonic stuff.
What the fuck happened?

>>716009668
i already didn't like how pathetically condescending he was towards Spencer Nilsen.

like that other anon said, he was always this autistic. it just showed more and more as time went.

>>716009668
>What the fuck happened?
He challenged your beliefs instead of affirming them, duh

>>715989664
If the title is a question the answer is always no.

Is this the thread?

dude is a fucking hack

>>715999092
Schizos are truth seekers. He sgould be applauded

>>715992108
No real developer would ever do that

>>716007504
the opposite is shill channels ("this patch fixes EVERYTHING" or "MASSIVE game announcements!") and nuance doesn't drive engagement so you either get positiveslop or negativeslop and never "my dissertation on the thematic similarities between x and y"

>>716010330
It can be if you believe it

Nuzzles status?
