And when it's written Haake works out the live drum part from it.

    Meshuggah live is an insane experience. Especially with their additional member, the lighting guy. His lights match the music so well. He's been given the honor of being their additional member live. He deserves it. It's like you're in an amazing crazy movie and the live music just elevates it all. I can't explain it.

    A lot of people who hear Meshuggah for the first time say that same thing about the singer being a "safety net". The instruments are playing such odd patterns and many times the singer is the most obvious thing to lock in to to stay on beat because he sings to the underlying pulse that we all feel but struggle to count. That dude has a metronomic sense of the beat, the whole band does.

    • @jbasti227
      @jbasti227 Pƙed 3 lety +10

      @derp derpin It’s cool considering they apparently don’t try writing in odd meters as much as it seems. The drums tend to be in 4/4 and the odd meter feel comes from the guitar and bass messing around with a lot of syncopation and polyrhythm that makes everything feel off. Really creative way of composing and still blows my mind how they’ve been able to create so much for so long with this method while consistently keeping things fresh and interesting.

      @@jbasti227 Usually the kick drum, locked in with the guitars and bass are all playing an odd pattern while the hi hats or crash cymbal and snare play a 4/4. Or sometimes it's the ride/bell or china or even a floor tom for like "jungle" beats keeping a constant 1/4 or 1/8th note pulse with the snare hitting on the 2 and 4 but with an odd meter, maybe a 7/8 being played by the guitars, bass, and kick drum underneath. They play it a certain number of measures so that the odd pattern cycles through and the "1s" land back in sync to complete the section of the song. You can do math to figure out how many cycles of the odd pattern happen over the 4/4 cymbal/snare pattern before resolving and the "1s" lining back up, what's cool is that the effect these polyrhythms have when played together correctly makes something that sounds awesome too, it's not just like a bunch of random numbers of notes or like they just picked a time signature to play to like, say they did it such and such time sig or something. They do not sacrifice the natural feel and groove and awesome sound, like it has to sound good or they wouldn't do it. Like I said in another comment, the guitar solo section of this song(Clockworks) always makes me want to dance or move, or mosh and beat the shit out of someone, it's such a hard assed groove.

      And yet, despite Yogev's excellent explanation, I still struggle to hear the 4/4 in this one. Like I know it is and how the riffs cycle and loop etc, but this is definitely one of the more difficult Meshuggah songs to feel it in.
      The accents and note lengths really throw it off-kilter to the point that I remember the riffs and whole sections and can hum them back to you like muscle memory, but if you asked me to write it down and count it out around 4, i'd be lost.

    One of my favourite things to find and enjoy is music that gives me chills and goosebumps. I was cruising CZcams recently and discovered a Russian talent show contestant that did just that, with one of the best, most unique voices I've heard in many years. Her delivery was nothing short of magical and I searched out more and more and more, and...more chills.
    I was stunned to find that the first performance I heard was when she was 14!!!! She's now 17 and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English and Arabic.
    The covers she performed on that show are very popular on CZcams. Many CZcamsrs publish reactions on these performances, which include the ethnic song "River" (in a new musical arrangement), "Blizzard", "Wicked Game", "Human", "Derniere Danse", "Helwa Ya Baladi" and others.
    Please react to one of Diana's songs and I promise she will surprise you.
