The fact is that there is a finite amount of rhythms and a finite amount of keys on a keyboard.

Everything has been done before. These keys have existed since the creation of the piano and so, anything you can think of has been done probably a million times already.

:fact

i don't think it is a coincidence that the only thing changing in music is production aesthetic. Sure a melody might vary, keys don't matter as the odds of having perfect pitch are 1 in 10 000.

My point was that chances , yes it has been done. But it really doesn't matter. So don't worry.

I didn't know you had a Masters from Julliard. That's quite impressive.

Speaking rough, given 7 roots and 5 sharps chances of having the same sequence aren't high enough to think that if it sounds alike is a coincidence but at the same time surely someone at least have a sucession of 3-4 notes like you in the track, different speed, intensity, pattern but it's a fact.

When i bought my piano the guy told me that the combinations were almost limitless due to this (and really you can get accurate results to what you want to represent, something that isn't always possible with electronic keyboards).

But this melody seems quite simple, it's the kind of stuff you hear in a commercial and then you write it down thinking is brand new stuff, if you want something unique try F#M , includes all the sharps and few people make melodies on this key, it is quite odd sounding and sad to our Am/CM accustomed ears but provides you interestin combinations.

Like L4C already pointed out, key does not really matter to the vast majority of listeners, intervals matter. Intervals are how people without absolute pitch tell whether a melody is the "same" as another. Root, 3 semitones up, one semitone down, 5 semitones up will sound like the same melody even if you start in a different place on the keyboard.

Wow this thread really took off while i was gone lol!

I know what you mean, the main reason I asked was because I wanted to make sure that I hadn't heard this somewhere and forgot about it, for it to sit in my subconscious.


As for the literal interpretation of my question, yes it's pretty much certain that the combination of chords (especially given the simplicity) exists.

Yes it's lucky that everyone doesn't have perfect pitch, but it's quite shocking sometimes at how slight a variation can be and some people dont notice, e.g in chart music. Tbh, every song i ever hear reminds me of something else, it's a shame really because it also stops me from producing sometimes, as i struggle to settle on something that I am satisfied is original!

Thanks for the discussion though anyway :-)

I actually start to like Kysora.
