This beat is Wicked 🤩 and if you recognize the musical interval (harmonizing notes) as a “fifth interval” congrats you have good ears. Anyone who wants to practice ear training could hum or sing this pattern (same as the first two notes of twinkle twinkle little star) … and would be achieving a melody of roots and fifths. “Ohh-root , Wee-fifth ohh- root … yoo-fifth ho- root” For science teachers who want a better understanding of the relationships between roots and fifths we could use math to break it down. All roots and subsequent octaves (higher and lower versions of the same note) would simply be the mathematical doubles of octaves as 2x and 1/2 of the root frequency. So 100hz has an octave at 200hz 400hz 800hz etc.. even 50hz and 25hz if divided backward. The fifth interval fits in as mathematically and physically its frequency exists exactly between octaves. So if the root was 100hz and it’s octave was 200hz the fifth would live at 150hz. If your root and octaves lived at 200hz and 400hz our fifth interval would be at 300hz. For sound engineers in training you may recognize this phenomena in room modalities/standing waves, as all sound behaves in this musical fashion, neatly governed by the “overtone/harmonic series” a great term to Google after you read this. AND finally why why why would the halfway point between two octaves get called a fifth? Because when you hum Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do, aka a major scale in music theory speak… you end up with 8 notes and if Do at the beginning and Do at the end are the same note and Octaves of each other at @ 100hz and 200hz respectively….then what we cal Sol, or the Fifth interval or in this case 150hz is just the frequency of the fifth jump from the root note towards the next octave but directly in the middle mathematically and LESS the perceived physical location. Teslas 369 actually deals with this phenomena as 3/6 being multiples or octaves can have a 9 placed on top representing the fifth between octaves… to act as both a forward multiplication and backwards division mechanism. Proof the universe is made up of an dynamic exchange of opposite moving energies…and hot take Wicked was cooler on Broadway 🎭
