The best thing about being first is no one says "wow every other song was so much better". Well done all and a true pleasure!

[CosmicLeche]

That locrian surf rock sounded like when you're happy out of spite.

[BenLevin]

I am still in line at the pharmacy waiting for them to finish scanning all the Lysol wipes I'm buying to deal with this NASTY video! Thanky for the stanky!!!

[peetiegonzalez]

Everyone: incredibly talented, pulls off amazing feats with great-sounding music.
Nahre: whips out a Debussy/Sakamoto/Hisaishi masterpiece straight out of a bestselling movie or videogame. mind=blown.

[OmicronGaming]

the Locrian scale is the one weird kid who's always by himself, but actually turns out to have really interesting hobbies once you get to know him

[kidyuki]

"As I expected, Adam Neely just went and did straight-up pop country."

I feel like this line is underappreciated.

[maxwellhart]

Nahre: that doesn’t make any sense, sorry
Ben: daddy mayonnaise

[Rude_i_Wredne]

It's one thing to hide the "locrianness" in the music, and other to completely embrace it and create a banger. Awesome job by Sami G.

[PaulDavids]

Yeah man!! I loved listening to these tracks so much. An honor to be in this video, and who knew locrian held so much beautiful music 🤯

[odraheim]

locrian surf rock, locrian trap, locrian dubstep, locrian hollow knight ost, and locrian lo-fi jazz hip hop fusion
we are in the superior mode

[NahreSol]

This was great fun -- thank you Adam!! It was a pleasure to listen to all of the great locrian tracks!! 🧡 You all are awesome!!

[kirjian]

On my second watch, I just realized Sammy G said "If you wanna have good time writing in Locrian, just raise the 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 degrees and you'll end up writing something you enjoy" LOL

[funkmastergeneral]

my name's Adam Neely, and here's how this musical concept can be demonstrated by lo-fi hip hop with a quintuplet swing

[jacksoniansonex]

“Daddy Mayonnaise, which is a superhero from the 1930s that I just made up” Never change Ben, never change

[timonsteup]

Me: "I'm wondering what Adam wrote"
Adam: "Lo-Fi Hip-Hop in Quintuplets"
Me: "I can't say I am surprised"

[thenecessitarian]

I can't believe Nahre's composition was all, exclusively, Locrian.... she obliterated the challenge because she made it sound the least like Locrian by being confined to exclusively use Locrian... the amount of harmony and thus emotional diversity and intensity she was able to squeeze out of the constraints is nothing short of masterful.

[shumakriss]

Locrian seems like the perfect mode to represent the feeling of frantically staying busy to avoid the anxiety of your inner voice. When it's moving, it's darting around and you don't notice it and when it's not, the unease sets in and you're forced to either forcibly relax and accept it or start moving again.

[AimeeNolte]

Amazing interpretations by everyone! This was so fun to watch and listen to.

[sohamsengupta]

I love how in basically every collab ever there's people going about things rather cautiously and carefully and then there's Ben Levin with something completely on the nose... Until the day when he basically gets asked to do that, in which case he does a full 180 and makes something ultra delicate like that one video on David Bruce's channel with the musical meme pieces

[RazvanStrambu]

I keep coming back to this just for the Ben Levin bit. Everyone was an absolute genius with this composition, but Ben Levin's bit is...visceral. Real. Deep. An absolute revelation.
