After The Burial - A Wolf Amongst Ravens

/ thedjentstickproject
This is the Djentstick, one stringed fretless low tune instrument i've made myself featuring an active EMG81 pickup thru a Line 6 Pod XT.
All the audio was recorded only using the Djentstick!
Believe it or not!
Enjoy!

[@XX-bo5pb]

This is how Djent began. a peasant living in Italy in 1773 tied a piece of his withering rags to the broomstick that he used to sweep the doorways for $0.005 (CA) a day. His name was Djentiovani Lowtunegaffi

[@DETHWAVE]

Lol

You may laugh at the djentstick, but that pickup is worth $100.

Yea

I don't see you guys tinkering with electronics for the sake of creating something musically confusing/interesting. I don't even like djent and I respect what this guy did. Metal's about unity and I don't see any fucking peace at all. The music is fine. The fans are fucked.

They actually produced a djent stick. It's called the noodle and it was at NAMM.

The noodle is a little different, it's more like a percussive string instruments that sounds more like a Jazz bass than a Djent tuned guitar.

I was joking with one of my boys who is in an upcoming band about replacing everyone with Bassists and changing their name to The D's only playing one note.

You sir, have the best comment in any video i've watched today...if only more realized its not all about technical shit, its the feeling and emotion. if you cant feel it, listen to something that gives you that feeling. Dont waste your time by ranting on the fucking internet. I don't think there is anything more counter productive than cryassing on the net...

Well metalcore isn't metal though, mixing it with metal is what creates the hate.

[@sabotagefate69]

The amount of people that don't understand how frequencies work is amazing. Every song ever made can be played on one string if you make the string long enough (obviously other physics issues come into play in practicality). I still give this guy props for realizing and actualizing this concept with an awesome song.

[@broderick.8054]

Is that a fucking Lego as the bridge? Classic

[@AdamRobertshaw]

95% of Djent bands should be using this, rather than the 8 string guitars they claim they need...

[@willcummings5210]

a lot of dent bands use ambient lead parts...

[@AdamRobertshaw]

I think its clearly understood my most people that my comment is not 100% accurate - its merely proving a point about a genre which uses unnecessary equipment.

[@YoLpIsBest]

You clearly don't know many djent bands if you claim that 95 % of them only utilize one string.

[@AdamRobertshaw]

YoLpIsBest learn to read, troll.

[@ZPDUDE87]

YoLpIsBest haha yeah you're full of shit

[@mrfweeter]

I love this. Think about it, its still an instrument, and whether you limit the amount of notes or expand the amount of notes/octaves you have, your inspiring creativity in some way. I think we can all remember the early parts of playing guitar/any stringed instrument, finding something simple that resonated with us, and enjoying it

[@marcosking8]

true very true.... altho i find this song very boring you are right... jazz musicians can play a 2-3 note-only solo extremly creatively.... many notes must never be the answer

[@stephencollis1453]

hahahaha bit of lego as the bridge, fuckin great

[@Freezaen]

This video can be interpreted as a show of the following: 1. Wood doesn't really affect your tone if you have the right equipment. and/or 2. After the Burial's new album has terrible production value. XD

[@cpamiseso]

Yeah, EMG doesn't take wood tone into account :p

[@neversaydie93]

EMG literally doesn't take the tone of the wood... Worst mics ever.

[@mikevmpr3]

Nelson Millán There is no true mic on this, just prerecorded Cab Impulse Responses. And quite frankly i dont see how the wood could affect tone anywho, why do i say that? Because science states that magnets (alnico 5 in emgs) can attract metal , iron, nickel or cobalt. And a pickup is simply a device that transfers vibrations from the metal strings into an electrical current. EDIT: i hope youre not calling emgs mics btw. xD

[@dreadkyng]

mikevmpr3 Indeed, but the strings does get in relation with the wood (through the nut, frets and the bridge), they will resonate differently from a certain wood to another. And that resonation difference would then be perceived by the pickups magnets. EMGs are different mostly because of the onboard preamp, it doesn't catch all subtilities and gives a flatter/more constant sound to the amp. Its a good and a bad thing, depending on what you are looking for. I'm speaking from my personnal playing experience through my various electric guitars.

arguing, over a 1 stringed cleaning device. god damn the metal community these days is soooo fucked up.... yea... its heavy, yea, it makes a low note, yea, the kid made something novel. who cares? just play your guitars and make yourselves happy. metal in all its forms should be appreciated for whatever it is worth. i personally dont give a fuck about any of this shit but to this guy, it was something he felt he wanted to do. more power to him for following through with it! i just wish people would fucking just enjoy music again... instead of fighting over whats best and what isnt. its ART, not a fucking CONTEST.

... he says it running through a Line 6... thats a pretty fancy effect unit, it's not the zoom or whatever most of these kids use in these vids.

[@Proggish]

Dominick Prince Line 6 Pod XT's aren't all that fancy homes. Unless you're going old school, most of them run about 100-200 bucks. Even the older ones that run higher, not as much as the typical AxeFX that's getting heralded for djent and loads of metal these days.

[@KGBDrums]

Genius...

[@noobbotstudios3367]

I loved this video! Now I want my own djentstick!

[@SmokeyEdits]

I don't get why people don't think this would work. The bridge (that is ever-so-elegantly made of Legos) holds the string slightly above the pickup, and it would still work if the string is making contact with the pickup because it isn't magnetic on the surface. The string vibrates on or over the pickup, it picks up the vibrations, turns it into sound. It works.

[@anathema7861]

One string or not, I like the sound, I like the song. That's the end of the story for me.

[@Polkinx]

Oh, I didn't realize this was a debate on the album itself, the band is a great band, the album was a new taste they wanted to try, it sound's awesome, they added the Djent sound to the already awesome guitar solo's. I mean if you got something better let me hear it, alway's down to broaden the horizon. But rule #1 No whiny emo lull me to crybabyville vocals.

[@JackCarver10]

Dat LEGO bridge, though

[@308enjoyer]

I can see that writing a song for the djentstick would be a challenge, because of the lack of freedom you have with the string. Have you tried writing any music for the stick?
