Bandcamp: cloggedsprinkl... Lawmil Guitars: www.facebook.c... Some of you may remember that I had the band name in the video title set as clogged sprinkler, I will change this name, so for now I'm just using my real name.
Fantastic dude this is just so sick. Gives me gorguts, deeds of flesh, necrophagist,the faceless, beneath the massacre, viramaia and psyopus vibes! Dig it!
This type of music is not something I would listen to everyday as it needs full intellectual attention to enjoy that I cannot spare during my daily job. Nevertheless, you are absolutely one of the most skilled and hardworking guitarists I've ever seen and you should be the new face of guitar players among others like Tosin and that guy from Polyphia (Sorry that I don't recall his name).
You probably aren't even aware of how insanely gifted of a guitarist you are. I couldn't even imagine thinking of being able to play one bar of this 😂😂
How does one 'get into' this style of music and playing? I'm being serious. If I plot a flowchart, what are the steps that lead to this? And what emotion is intended to be fostered by the style?
I can't really speak for the guy playing in the video, but if I had to guess, if you get into the weirder prog rock stuff or the more technical side of death metal then you're pretty much done for. Kid finds out Pink Floyd or Yes and in a few months he's listening to King Crimson and Magma and zeuhl and beyond. Or maybe he gets into metal, perhaps something as accessible as Metallica or Iron Maiden or whatever, and then one day that stuff just isn't heavy enough, so the kid gets into Slayer, and then Death or Watchtower and whatnot. At some point, regular melody, consonance and straightforward rhythms just aren't stimulating anymore and the kid is ready to embrace extended diminished runs and then eventually full blown atonality. Kid may get into guitar and figure that the music that first got him interested in the instrument in the first place ceased to be interesting the moment he learned how to play it, transcribe it, et cetera. There's a certain type of person that gets bored of stuff very quickly and boredom seems to be the greatest motivator in experimenting in art, hence the video you're watching. I don't think there is any emotion intended to be fostered by the style other than awe at the complexity and unpredictability of the thing. And as far as motivation go, I'd guess there is no emotion behind it all, it is "as sentimental as a definite integral" to paraphrase some guy I forgot. The search for something novel and detached from all the other stuff you knew, both in technique and sound, becomes the main driving force behind the endeavor. This type of technical music pretty much justifies itself
The minor second harmony could induce a sense of anxiety. This type of music is typically atonal. Schoenberg, the father of atonality, typically wanted to create something that showed technical prowess. Listeners would describe it as “unnerving” or “anxious.” Constant leaps, fluctuating tempos, X-Y pitch classes, harsh growling vocals could make a person feel uneasy and confused. Most metal musicians play by ear or just memorize the form. Examples being Dillinger Escape Plan, the number 12 looks like you, Meshuggah, and behold the arctopus to name a few. Examples of bands that would chart out their music would be Necrophagist and Psyopus. A lot of the music is based on technique or certain articulations if anything. It’s typically non diatonic and follows a sequence based repetition like free jazz. I would just play around with dissonance. Intervals are important as there is typically no key center. Wide leaps and angular playing would also help. Just focus on what sounds incredibly dissonant. A b9 with a major 7th in the same key with no resolution is already incredibly dissonant. In different keys it’s practically discernible.
You concentrated so hard that you went into a little coma at the end. HAHAHA just kidding around. that was very unusual. Those lines sounded like you had shifted one track maybe a half step away from the other? Gave a really strange sound. Is all that one time sig or is it just changing to various ones? How you keep track of that is a mystery! thx!!
There are no effects pedals on this. I get that dissonant sound by having two guitar tracks, but one of them is playing a semitone higher than the other.
@@llawrence9485 awesome, do you know the channel Microtonal Guitar - Tolgahan Çoğulu ? he builds microtonal guitars and does a competition every year where talented artists playing microtonal instruments get showcased, youd be great
@@theharvardyard2356 Maple neck and fretboard, and the control plate is maple too. The body is made from rimu (a native New Zealand timber species). Houses in NZ used to be made using a lot of rimu, but not anymore. So as people renovate their houses, there becomes ample supply of recycled rimu, I've made quite a few guitars out of it. This particular guitar is made from some old rimu doors that I found lying on the side of the road, they had some lovely solid chunks of rimu in them. I love rimu, it's one of my favourite timbers, it has such a stunning grain! Also the front and back of the headstock has rimu veneer made from the same door.
It’s usually pretty simple from what I see, u just get a button and get a red and black wire then connect or solder it too the output Jack inside the guitar. There’s a bunch of videos on it on yt it seems like a neat lil mod to do
The buttons I use on my guitars are sanwa obsf-30. Nice big arcade buttons. There are other options too of course. The switch has two lugs, solder one lug to the tip of the output jack, and the other lug to the ground of the output jack. You shouldn't need to alter the rest of the wiring, you can just add it on. I hope there is space in your control cavity to fit an extra control! if not, you may want to remove an existing control and replace it with the killswitch, which will require some alterations to the rest of the wiring. You will also need to drill a hole. Be careful as you don't want to chip out the surrounding finish. Make sure you find out what the best type of drill bit is for whatever type of switch you will be installing. Generally a forstner or brad point drill bit will give the cleanest hole. It's definitely a very achievable DIY mod, and you will have fun doing it!
