Released to great fanfare this week, her new song ‘Perfect Illusion’ features an extremely bold key chance right at the 111-second point. Listen: But what’s so great about that? The Golden Ratio, that’s what. This divine scientific principle governs all sorts of things in the natural world, and composers like Bach loved using it to give shape to their compositions. Now it seems like Lady Gaga has fallen for it too. By putting her key change at 111 out of 179 seconds, she’s nailed the Golden Ratio sweet spot, 1.618, otherwise known as ‘Phi’.

Benji 20,113 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't really find it satisfying. I blame the mixing though, we need to hear those drums to lead us into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anastasios 573 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 the funny thing is the short form for perfect illusion is PI = π = 3,14 unfortunately, the song length isnt 3,14 tough, its just 3 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow 1,582 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Rolf first of, julliard trained pianist in what universe muahaha. And then this key change business. I repeat myself, but get it through you heads. Its The most common trick in pop world and is very very very generic and eurovision and used about a trillion times. It's NOTHING clever, brilliant or inventive. Its a simple modulation. Makes The song even more homemade and amateurish in its all generic basicness. PI is just nothing in pure musical sence. Ps. That wasnt even a musical analysis -_- it just pointed out a basic (pop) music formula... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
