I feel like we metalheads have reached a point where we need our own Woodstock where we would compose Djent tracks using Konnakol while high on acid or shrooms...
I switched from djent to preparative organic chemistry and this insane video is insanely inspiring as multidisciplinary approach can afford conversion of molecular structures into rhythm via multiple coding methods but is there a way to make chemistry with djent?
So happy you two met up, have been a fan of Mattias for a long time, his song Rabbit Hole Shuffle is another recentish track that tickles my ears. I'm just glad to hear you'll be doing more collaboration
YES! When my drummer (HEJ MARC) told me about your channel I got hooked and knew that you and Mattias would make a perfect match! I'm glad this came to be
I've been to Freak Guitar Camp twice, it changed my perspective on music (and I hate that it sounds like a lame lifestyle coach statement but it really did 😁). Tiptop experience with tiptop people from all around the world, you should definitely try it !
@@YogevGabay And you went! Amazing to see you there and I must say that your seminar was very very, very good. Powerful voice as well, being able to overpower the absolute mayhem of a swedish freak storm.
It was really cool to hear the metal riff/song in the beginning (1:15) and not really understand it. I thought it sounded really cool but obviously had no idea what counting was being employed. But then after the whole content of the video, I got to see you all play it and understand every bit of it. Great work!
Yogev what a great lesson so much great information loved it . There is so many great rythrm to learn this Indian art form . This really opens up the mind and the body. It's very exciting great job excuting the rythems.
Brilliant! Yogev, have you perchance listened to Consider The Source? They play an awesome blend of fusion music with lots of Indian rhythmic and melodic tomfoolery in their songs. Check out the songs Tihai For The Straight Guy or Ninjanuity!
Great video as always! Definitely going to lead me down a rabbit hole! I will note that in your example at 4:40 the "Tha Ri Ki Ta Thom" is missing the "Ki" and is actual a triplet then 1/16 "Tha Ri Ta Thom", at least is how your saying it. Only noticed because I slowed the video down to 50% to play along because those 32nds are almost too fast to play let alone say! The drum and bass version is dead on though and super rad!
@@YogevGabay I noticed that as well, it's very funny! I've repeated it so many times trying to get the pattern down it might end up haunting my dreams haha.
@@YogevGabay I find it quite reasonble that IA invites you tog hold a lecture. He does this regulary with quite prominent musicians. I think many participants would appreciate this
Great one ! 😮 I have a question about konnakol : in a konnakol "beat", the choice of the syllabes is free or there are some rules to follow ? I don't know if I'm clear 🤔...I mean, it seems when I ear about konnakol that everything is regulated, but the choice of the syllabes of a pattern seems to be more like an artistic choice of the composer, am I right ?
There definitely are some rules. Konnakol uses whatever rhythmic unit you want but you have to stick to it until you hit the ta again. Most of the time. Also, the syllables do have an order. 1 unit is ta, 2 units is ta ka, 3 ta ki te, ta ka ti mi, ta ki te da thom, etc. Not sure how to build 6, 7 and more but I know they’re just combinations of those… sentences? I suggest doing your own research and/or watching Mattias’ videos on the subject to know more about it.
I'ts a pretty interesting subject and I won't pursue myself as if I'm an export. I learn a lot of these by ear, and after a while you seem to kinda "get" the aesthetics of it, if that makes sense?
Thanks guys :-) Yogev, I suggest you check the work of Sean Reinert (I don't know if you heard of him). Nothing to deal with konnakol 😅, but he was an amazing drummer who passed away unexpectingly recently. In the album Focus of the band Cynic, there are some cool rythmical surprises that sounds very musical to my poor guitarist's ears ! I'm not sure we deal with polyrythm, but more like rythmical tricks. Tracks like Sentiment, I'm but a Wave to, the last part of How Could I, or Textures, etc. At that time this band was considered like an ufo in the metal scene (1993 I think), but I think it is a great influence for many 2000s bands. You Can also check the Traced In Air album, it is more recent, it sounds more actual, but it is more "standard" rythmically (even if there are impressive drum fills 😍).
@@YogevGabay I knew you were a man of taste :-). I saw Sean and Paul in Paris when they played the Death tribute. Got the chance to talk with Paul because we used to have mutual friends, but Sean has already left the venue 😭
absolutely masterful! I've listened to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iurhjlBum0o.html a couple of tenths times and I never came up with the idea of understanding the underlying rhythmic structure. your channel rocks (or metals?), Yogev!
You don’t need to bring an expert on to talk about songwriting.. I mean come on, you are incredible. I’d wager 99% of commenters giving you shit have never written a single piece.
