Mr. Fiuczynski you truly are a visionary. I love your vision of creating a sonic tapestry of various cultures, musical perspectives, and ideas to push western music forward into undiscovered territories. That's what art is all about and what defines American music (jazz= classical ideas with African, spanish, and other cultural rhythms and improvisation, rock= R&B, country western, blues, some jazz, and gospel, jazz fusion= all of the above) and makes it so wonderful, it's a whole greater than the sum of it's parts. It's mystical and inspiring, and in a time where power structures are trying to separate the populous into groups and prevent multicultural fusion and diffusion of ideas and spirit through hate, fear, and racism, this is the kind of music and artistic exploration we need to unite people again and promote love/harmony/unity. Really inspiring work, I'll be a student at Berklee in January 2019 and I hope to get you as a private instructor and take your courses to dive deeper in this realm of music! Much love.

[@the1realanalogman]

The evolution of Krell music - Altair IV. I give this 5 thumbs up. That's all the thumbs I have...

[@christopherdonoyan3257]

[@drowebd]

[@steveross8326]

Jo Jo.........just other worldly.

[@santiagobass7477]

[@rceretta]

It looks like the music will collapse in the next measure. Beautiful.

[@MrBostonrobb]

Not gonna lie. Just took six bong hits and drank a 6 pack. This shit's fahking amazing!

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

[@marianodedompablo2665]

Great tune!

[@benaberry578]

Jim Gardner microtonal mind bend

[@calculus77]

Microtonal... that's what I sound like while soloing on a fretless bass. ;-)

[@juxtaposeism]

no simply no

[@ekaram63]

There's nothing like a great tune.. and this is nothing like it! Ahahaha

[@iraklishengelia494]

არ ხართ ნორმალურები. :)

[@PlaceboPlease]

i wonder waht kind of drums Jojo plays here

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

Alexander DeSchutter its definitely not a Sonor,its mix breed of various drums.I can only make out that snare to be DW and the Bass Drum is a Pearl guessing those floor toms are Pearl also.

[@rafaelsoares-yk7xz]

Jojo Meyer the best

[@もち餅-i3q]

2:49

[@cincinbx]

If Pablo Picasso had formed a band, this is what it would sound like. Avant Garde jazz?

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

thank you so much!! that sums it up!!!

[@saulmighty]

Sounds like the music got infected by a virus or something...

[@manuelsotomartinez]

saulimus SHIT, I can't stop laughing

[@markiplierSINGSbadly]

+saulimus microtonality lol

[@joseperez8695]

+saulimus ahahahahahahahahahahaahahha

[@altodds]

Oh my God Saulimus, you made me laugh man, that's f.. hilarious lol

[@tomaszradczyk1958]

Tak to jest, jak się nie nastroi instrumentów...

[@DenDerty]

как говорил нойзмс - устрой дестрой

[@Ribsletics]

At first this sounded like a shreds video

[@Ribsletics]

+R. Marino Arcaro No. Like a troll shreds video. Example: look up "Creed Shreds 3"

[@Ribsletics]

+R. Marino Arcaro Oh! Haha. Nice. Yeah i get that now that i actually skim the rest of the video. lmao Poor jojo. Looks miserable.

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

you guys are clowns! this is the 2nd time we've had JoJo, he had a great time and wants to come back, also what does microtonality, eastern inflections in a new groove context have to do with shredding!?!?!? u need 2 broaden your horizons!

[@nogoogleplus]

Tune that THANG....haha

[@altodds]

@fuze, as a starter, any recommendation, I mean I wanna buy some CD's but still don't know where to start

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

for gtr or fretless....??

[@clappedoutmotor]

They need Rizan Said

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

if he can do micro chord scales, so comping, not just soloing, i'm down

[@clappedoutmotor]

Not sure he does that. Only ever heard him playing lines... Maybe Noura Mint Seymali or some of her band. Thanks for making inspirational music! Been listening for years!

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

thank you!!! you should check out more of Giorgi Mikadze and Utar Artun!!!

[@clappedoutmotor]

@@davidfuzefiuczynski Thanks man I will. Right this second

[@roadwarriorroadwarrior8160]

the bass line is so tripy

[@YoanhRodriguez]

osos hormigueros del tamaño de hormigas copulando con hormigas del tamaño de osos hormigueros. -------- anteaters the size of ants copulating with ants the size of anteaters.

[@l3ertuz362]

so this is what it sounds like when you become a music genius?

[@TrixiLovesYou]

This is what happens when you try to minimize the distance between the processes of creativity and and execution and it's just not happening.

[@mohomoho1]

Guitar is to loud in this video.

[@danhope77]

to me it sounds like an untuned guitar though. Great drumming.

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

24 note per octave scale around C dim, thanx for listening

[@Snhojbar]

Is this a shred video? Hilarious.

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

shred?

[@Snhojbar]

@@davidfuzefiuczynskiApologies David, just a silly joke, my hat goes of to you guys for exploring rarely charted musical territory.

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

@@Snhojbar oh no worries, I was just a little confused. Oddly enough I sometimes get compared to technical players (which is kind of a mystery to me) and then groove, composition, playing off of the other players in the band, new use of microtonality and more gets completely overlooked to the point where I'm wondering if whoever making the comment was actually listening the music.......!??!!? .... anyway, thanx for listening, all the best!!

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

@@Snhojbar oh sorry, my previous message wasn't directed at you, not at all, thanx so much listening!!

[@TrixiLovesYou]

Lol.

[@davidmargarone6514]

...not for me!! really not!!

[@eugeneniemierzycki6490]

Horrible song!

[@davidfuzefiuczynski]

listen again

[@narosgmbh5916]

[@stixnfeet7818]

Sound track to UFO Cockpit !
