Composer/Musician Reacts to Igorrr "ieuD" (REACTION!!!)

[@wanderingursa8184]

"What way is this going?" Igorrr: "We don't do that here."

[@Abyssic1]

I like how when you talked about "the producer" as if he was the unsung hero they usually are but you were actually looking at the producer in the video, playing the guitar on a sheer cliff. (also the guy getting a face massage) producer, composer, guitarist and mastermind of igorrr, Gautier Serre.

[@lemonhemp8546]

Many people will suggest Very Noise, but to me "Tout Petit Moineau" and "Cheval" are far more superior. Cheval is experimental but sounds very cool. ieuD is "Dieu" backward, which means God. They're having fun playing music at high level, they don't take themselves that seriously, but it's always a bliss to go back to them from time to time. Have fun

[@Phireo]

Agree, with Igorrr you need to ease in! Chicken Sonata and Grosse might be good for other reasons.

[@FinneousPJ1]

I see that comment often. If you have a look, it's not Dieu backwards, that would be ueiD

[@vincentmartagex8608]

@@FinneousPJ1" verlan" is a kind of typically French backward slang, wich reverse syllabes, not all the letters... For example "dingue" wich mean crazy in popular language is "guedin" in "verlan" ...

Cheval would be a good choice for next Igorrr song for sure. It also has a video that shows a bit about what is going on with the instrumentation.

[@smward87]

Also fun fact: while Igorrr is a French artist, anytime there are vocals it's in an entirely made up language. (Well except Parpaing which is in english as it's being sung by George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher from Cannibal Corpse)

"This was pure experimental." Oh, dear. We aren't even close, yet.

[@sundaygloom8715]

Igorrr started out as mostly digital music, he's incorporated a lot of actual instruments in his later albums and added a lot of metal elements. It's definitely experimental and they have a lot of fun with it. They have a new album coming out soon.

[@kingkoda1204]

[@sgtstank]

Camel Dancefloor is probably my favorite by igorrr. Big Arabian sound comprised of metal and techno components. And it holds a groove throughout.

[@The47hitmen]

I love this band so much.. They made really good song (Opus Brain, Tout Petit Moineau, Cheval, Houmous, Absolute Psalm, Infinite Loop etc..) but they have another band where they focus on more classic and beautiful things which is called Corpo Mente, you should like it too!

[@Dukhevych]

Haha, Brian, your analytics did improve so much for these 3 years. We need a fresh new video with Igorrr on your channel!

[@CriticalReactions]

I think about that sometimes. Many years ago we did a week where I went back to songs I found too difficult to parse to see if I'd have better analysis for them -- and I certainly did. There's still a lot of songs that I'd love to re-check out now.

[@tajbaber9425]

Thanks for the mention. That was awesome. Gautier (composer) has a form of synesthesia where notes are colors, and every song is like a painting. Everytime I hear something new from him it's like brain food.

[@CriticalReactions]

The composer having musical synesthesia helps to put a lot of the song into perspective.

[@GeorgeTsiros]

oh no! you're a zombie!

[@mikefearon3577]

Totally unrelated to Igorrr, but I highly recommend that you check out Karnivool - New Day or Deadman; both songs are absolute masterclasses in dynamics and building's songs to a gratifying climax; the whole Sound Awake album is a master piece.

[@Kyrus92]

Yes absolutely agree!

[@Crabcore1]

Still haven't done it huh ? Let's ask again haha, lovethis band, would love a new album but it doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon

[@pietandersen6120]

Hey there, just came across your video on Shadow of Intent and had to go through much of your videography. Your insight is amazing and is absolutely something I can use in writing music with my own band. Also, unlike many other reaction channels you take the time to discuss the music we hear, and are unapologetic of, yaknow, actually reacting to the music, I have a few suggestions that I think would be interesting for you to do. As far as Ive seen, alot of the stuff you do is bands that do alot with alot, complex technical riffs, progressive instrumentation and lots and lots of intricate little movements in their music. I love that too and have alot of suggestions along those lines as well, but for an example of a band that (I at least believe) does alot with a little, Traitors is probably up there. Now mind you, their music is very heavy and absolutely an acquired taste, so I dont expect you to like it, but their ability to use simple riffs and drumming, combined with amazing songwriting, to build and release tension, is beyond me. A good start with them would probably be the first (and in my opinion, among the best) track they ever released, Arrogance. It uses the Bass, dissonance and silence to great effect, and is simply a headbanging rootin tootin country ditty that never fails to get me hardcore dancing in my room. Another good one is Nescessary Death by END, not as heavy, and on the faster side of things, but in terms of simplicity it is not lacking, at only three minutes it is filled withamazing simple riff writing and a mastery of tension that can not be understated. On the more complex side of things, I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on some Vildhjarta, they are a very progressive band, and their new track, Den Helige Anden shows that music doesnt have to be simple to invoke primal emotions such as despair. They take such meticulous care in building their music, that this is the first track they have released in 7 years despite being an active band. I look forward to seeing more from you, be it metal or not, you provide valuable information and insight that I havent seen anywhere else on youtube.

[@CriticalReactions]

Dude, I'm so glad that my videos can help in any capacity. That kind of response/comment gives me a lot of drive to keep doing these. And thanks for the suggestions. I'll add them to the list.

[@0pposite221]

Igorrr's genre is "Baroquecore", a close relative of Breakcore, which itself is actually a sub genre of hardcore techno. I didn't see anyone else mention this, so I decided to be that smartass myself.

[@ElCanalacoDeRaul]

Breakcore comes more from a deconstruction of jungle than techno IMHO

[@lewiji]

​@@ElCanalacoDeRaulsure but jungle is derived from hardcore

[@ElCanalacoDeRaul]

[@nottrevorallen]

the story of a substitute music teacher and her homeless boyfriend playing around in the mud truly a tale as old as time

[@roderickknoppert9267]

The base genre is call Break Core, but Igorrr calls it Baroque Core. Igorrr is the name of the producer (DJ)(the bald guy) he creates all of his own samples (of which he plays guitar, bass and recorder himself) and mixes them into tracks like this beauty. he also uses samples of less usual instruments like vacumcleaner, giant metal tub, and chicken. he is mainly influenced by metal and classical genres, but also uses folk and even gypsy like music in some of his tracks.

[@roderickknoppert9267]

p.s. the language they use in all of their tracks is gibberish, they are actually french

[@specialkonacid6574]

Every expectation I had was destroyed...

[@the-groovelord]

Big suggestion if you’re doing igorr is trepalium, same drummer, and for an idea of their sound, take a mix of Gojira, lamb of god, and upbeat swing!

[@Abyssic1]

Even tho Igorrr is among my absolute favorites, I totally agree with your sentiment that some songs are more to be enjoyed like a piece of art. I've got a selection of about 30% of Igorrr's songs that i actually listen to on my phone or however on the side. But i still appreciate all the remaining 70%.

My personal take on ieud is bipolar disorder in a song. Its an awsome track and it does an awsome job portraying emotion and switches on a dime.

Alright dude everyone's recommending incredible songs because Igorrr is an incredible musician but if you're a composer you want Houmous. And you want to get a pen and a paper and decipher what the heck is happening with the bar signatures.

Igorrr is just Gautier Serre, the guitarist. He does lal the compositions, the mixing and post production, but over the years it has become a band wgich consists of him, the female vocalist and the male vocalist. He still composes everything, but on his latest albums he has gotten alot of guest musicians to play drums, accordion etc.

[@Tichooon]

Very nice commentary! Igorrr is such an awesome project, nothing quite like it.

[@Ryan-vh9bw]

This is completely unrelated to this track but I wonder if you would like Aghora. They're a prog metal band from Florida with a blend of technicality and melodicism, though I think their later albums focus more on cohesion. The vocals can be difficult to like but I think they fit (generally). I would recommend Satya, Immortal Bliss and Existence (from their self titled album from 1999), Moksha and Dime (both from their 2006 album, Formless) and Path (from their 2019 album, Entheogenic Frequencies, which is also completely instrumental). :)

Igorrr (Gautier) has a few side projects too. ÖÖXXÖÖ XXÖÖXX (oldest), Whourkr (newer more metal infused) and Corpo Mente (newest and most tame/closest to mainstream, also using operatic vocals). He's one of those guys with synesthesia and he cannot for the life of him not be working on art... He's a beast.

I also know that Whourkr is old, I said it was "newer", meaning newer work than the Öxxö Xööx stuff, from what I remembered, but now I'm seeing it's actually older... I haven't checked it out in a while to remember dates and all. Also, I know Whourk is done.

It's quite different from what you usually react to, but i'd like to suggest Carne by IOSONOUNCANE, an italian song. I wouldn't really know how to define its genre. I mean, it's much more pop than every other suggestion even tough it pushes the boundaries quite a bit.

You should check out Öxxö Xööx (69 / Make Love, Not War) as well. Same musicians but with the songs a bit more streamlined. Pure avant-garde metal with primal themes and gothic flourishes throughout. Blew me completely away on first listen. I'd recommend "Därkäë." All the lyrics are comprised of a made-up language created by the band.
