The Closest Thing We Have to a Musicology Thread

Si certus es dubita
Until this morning I would have bet any amount of money that nobody could ever explain 12-tone to me in a way that would make me hate it less and even maybe be a little receptive to it or at least what it's trying to do.

I would have lost that bet.

Whenever I hear the 12-tone term, I always think about the board sound from Press Your Luck. Although it's a repeated pattern of 16 tones, so 4 must repeat (II, VIII, V, and if you consider I and VIII to be the same, that's the 4th).

Remember the game show "Press Your Luck" (plenty of Youtube videos if you don't)? The SFX that is used while the board is "spinning" is 12-toned, albeit from a sequence of 16 tones.

I saw the clips on YouTube. Good God. We should all offer a quiet thank you to Reality TV for killing game shows.
