Al Gore Rhythm

26-06-23 - "Al Gore Rhythm"
Back to originals for this week, this song basically acts as a sibling to 15243.
This one came from a weird picking rhythm that I thought sounded cool inspired by Mattias Eklundh's Konnakal rhythms (the song was originally going to have some Konnakal vocals in it but I sounded so bad). Again, this song is the result of experimenting with drum programming which explains the caveman dumb dumb riffs. Although the riff at the end is quite fun as I have dubbed it "the party riff"
See you next month!

The Meshuggah is strong with this one. The intro groove with the upstrokes is way too cool! Fantastic song.

[@ArthurSchoppenweghauer]

Incrediible song, especially the second half feels massive and otherwordly. I feel reminded of Straws Pulled At Random. The second half of that song also sounds larger than life and makes you feel like you're a part of something much bigger than yourself.

[@floralfire]

Second half reminds me of (In Death - Is Death by Meshuggah) the time stamp for the exact part in the meshuggah song is 2:53 and I love that section so much

Btw I remember watching your come back video last month where you were talking about not keeping up with the current echelon of you tube videos and I wanted to tell you, the reason we all love your channel, and your content is for the exact reason you mentioned.....you don't over think it, you don't over do it, its just raw, real, natural....simple. You just put up whatever comes to you, no matter how high brow or low brow it is....and that's what makes your stuff great: Its relatable. We are all a bunch of goofy fucks....and so we relate when you let your inner goofy fuck fly. Secondly, the music you write is great man.....not because its overly produced, or complex, or anything.....its just simply feels good. Keep doing you brother. We all love it.

[@Jimverse_]

Gawd I love that melodic stretch at the end, you've given it so much room to breath it's gorgeous. I think it could have even worked going longer and really letting the listener get mesmerised by it rather than fading, and then maybe going really heavy for a finale :p But yes, another great piece, Djune just keeps delivering
