Brett: Woah. Look at that turn of harmony
Eddy: turn of harmony [chuckle]
Eddy: I really enjoy the dark tempo of this piece you know.
Eddy: It gives off Shostakovitch vibes maybe a little bit of... twelfth tone psycho (something)
Can you ... can I just say something?
Yeah
I think Beethoven back in those days
really loves a
It's two peaches there- two
two watermelons there that represent the two-tone harmonics that Beethoven really loves.
and I think that everyone's got that inspiration.
Maybe it's like atonic and a dominant
Brett: yeah... Eddy: yeah
Atonic, dominant, and back in atonic.
ooOOHHHHH
That's Panda for you.
Okay. Skrillex.
Oh.
Fortissimo straight off the bat.
It's not a panda, it's a dog.
Dude, that's not even in the twelve-tone system
what note is that
It's A ternal!

He's even break sound of the twelve tones
Oh, atonics here
