Mattias IA Eklundh - Terra Incognita (feat. B.C. Manjunath and Yogev Gabay) 

I can't understand (well in reality I understand perfectly) why Mattias is not recognized as one of the greatest of all time: no matters what he plays, I always find it enjoyable, musical and inspiring. To me a musical treasure.

One of the rare living guitarist who has such a recognizable identity. You could probably pick 2-3 seconds and straight away go: "Ah that's Mattias Eklundh".

Great to see Yogev Gabay too, he has taken a different kind of approach to teaching Konnakol. Learned fun stuff about Meshuggah and Porcupine Tree from him. Nice song too, feels like a change of pace yet again.

I love that you guys have found eachother

I like Mattias' facial expression when he knows the TIME changes are getting difficult ....lol....Great B.C is left screen giving us a hand.

Incredible - what a rhythmic extravaganza! I really liked the breakdown on pen and paper.

nothing like waking up with my coffee and seeing that mattias uploaded a new song!

Come back in year 2175 and the human brain like this even more. We can't handle this right now 😜

Such a great tune Mattias! It would be perfect for a cop movie of the 80s with a lot of pursuits. An even better soundtrack than Harold Faltermeyer's. I would really love to hear it in a movie!!! Great job! 💪😎

I'm still trying to figure this masterpiece out. Amazing how can you teach so much with music, IA!

Amazing as always ... love the Konnakol is a great thing!!

So we need a full album or two's worth.... pleeeeeaasseeeee 🤞🤘

It sounds so cool! I hear it again and again and again and again... Great! 🤘

En el 91, fuiste tu y freak kitchen quien me mantuvo en la música.....hoy en día, con 50 años, calmas el dolor que causa mi enfermedad. Siempre, tú y Freak kitchen. Me hacen sentir placer, me quita el dolor y hago funcionar mi cerebro como debe. Un apunte....soy bateria 😂😅❤❤❤❤ Me das vida....gracias.❤❤

Another banger! I love your music so much. Thank you for making it

I wish i knew this guy sooner... feels like i missed out. Holy moly this is good music

This song sound great as video game soundtrack :D

And that's why he's my favorite

Grettings from Guatemala, your music is great keep going!!

Never ceases to amaze me as a fan of music. Technically fully over my head, but I love it! 🎶👍🖖

Om man behöver höra nåt man inte hört förut e det bara att komma hit ❤

Depth without the drama. Unprecendented musicianship.

Love it, love it, loop it

Is this the climax of all you've done before? I would applaud gratefully and say "yes", but not in a sense that from now on its going down the hill 😅 Mattias, holy smorgasbord, man🤘 In your past solo records, you were exploring all what your guitar and you can do. Now you created a compositional masterpiece in everything, melody, (kannakol) rhythm and your playing technique 👏👏👏 Thank you for being who you are and what you do 🤘❤️

This is just what I'd want out of a Freak Time Consuming Konnakol Lab. This is gonna be fun to try to learn, hopefully i can keep up

no words to describe it

Great job mattias 🤟🏻

Mattias it would be awesome to see you with someone like Martin Miller and his band.

Listening to this track for the 100th time now

thanks Mattias, Manjuath and Yogev for the lesson! freak kitchen serving up spicy dishes!

Holy cr*p that's so complicated yet so awesome and enjoyable!

As complicated as this is once you have got this in your head it's a real ear worm.

Tack så jättemycket, wonderful musicians, for the inspiration ❤ Will grab my guitar now 😁

Very happy melody

Herre jösses :O Dra mig baklänges!

Very good impressive work. Theres an artist, that was with Cosmic Fall, now solo as Sleeping Pandora, Mathias Rosmann, yall might do a colab in the future, would be a very interesting match up. Blessings

Music Magic🔥 👏

Interesting vibe!

My head exploded after the part of your guest musicians. 🤯

Your music is amazing!

Sheer madness 🧙‍♂️

Epic as always ❤

Muy bueno.

G sus what a song! 🔥🤘🏻

that rythm is badass

Got that everyone ? Test at 8 AM GMT......tomorrow.

Yup...this is a HARD one...

Man, Matias... so fucking awesome! 🤟🏼

Always a fun listen Friday here. Give the dogs a good scratching from me. Like 335 the semi hollow thumbs up 😂

F*ck. Whenever I listen to you playing it makes want to sell my guitars and quit. But on the other hand the melody is so inspiring that makes me want to practice more. Ahhhh the struggle within is killing me.

Mathy as fuck. I dig.

kttk(trkttk) = Ki Ta Ta Ka (Te Ri Ki Ta Ta Ka)? I think I'm close on the pronunciation, went down to 25% speed to try and decipher. Also looked up a tabla video for help with the syllables... but I realized I had already seen something similar in a Yogev video.

Alright you have certainly charted much of what you are playing. Why wouldn’t you? Composing with different layers and keeping it interesting in your formulaic ways. The first video of yours I watched and listened to a couple days ago, introduced me to your counting/timing, time signature method. Is this a form of a standard European/Scandinavian method of counting/timing/time signatures, or your own method? Not familiar with until now, but zi like it, and it makes complete sense. It does, however, remind me of the tonguing-exercises I did when I played trumpet for many years. Anyhow, some people are just players and composers. Within the fret board there are clusters of combinations of notes, that I think basically break down to mathematics when playing. Same could and can be said about timing. When I feel and hear something long and progressive or symphonic live, I usually can feel where it is going. I have always had that gift whether it is complex and changing time signatures, or time signatures that make no sense to the Western world like Okinawa folk music, or traditional Korean music. Some of those people are astounded that I, I Westerner can follow along and get into these types of songs, and unconventional tempos and time signatures. It is something you are either born with or not. This musical feelings and being able to multi-task, but basically it breaks down really not just music theory, but music formulas and math. My favorite songs are songs that take me on a journey, and bring me back. That is the way anything but pop music should be. Well certainly there are many more types and styles of music that takes you literally no where/filler. Not everyone understands and can appreciate complicated music. I believe some of us just happen to be brighter than others when it comes to formulas and feelings inside and composing some forms of complex, but rhythmatic timings of the Universe, that is built into our DNA. Cheers, Matthias, performer, composer, producer and sharer of knowledge.

Çıldırmalık

I hear Yes...

Trying to understand is like trying to solve a level 3 differentiation problem. But when you succeed, there won't be any musical theory that you can't understand or solve!

Deine Musik zaubert mir immer ein Lächeln auf das Gesicht ❣️ Danke 🤗❤️🔥🎸 🎶 ✨

What did I just watch?

You + Per nilsson please

Farsan pratade alltid om dig som en gud av instrumentet. Han har då fan inte fel.

I love B.C. Manjunath's lyric sheet! 😁

Awesome as usual but I wish the vocals were a bit more audible in the mix.

Mattias, new gear?

I can't understand why its just 4k views! Whats wrong with youtube or audience?

Mattias you are a genius... I wonder if I can send you a pedal that I made? it is possible?

Too hard for Dream Theater.

Бессмыслица с громким названием. Конструктор в стиле "а можешь в такой ритмике?" Где композ и в чём идея? А что со звуком слабых долей? Вместо "малого барабана" можно насладится 6 минутами звука мухобойки когда промазал по мухиной авиации. Хочу полноценные барабаны, тем более что они есть на фоне.
