@@damiencouturee6240 I know you joke but it's fun to think how obvious a mistake would actually be. The drums and guitars are so rhythmically intertwined in Meshuggah songs that if one instrument is off even slightly the whole thing becomes a garbled mess. That's what makes them so impressive to see live, and why Tomas Haake said they'll never include "I" in their sets lol

This might look right this time around, but many fail to realize that “I” is different every time you hear it. It’s not a solid, but a liquid. Most people listen to this so loud, they fail to notice the squeaking and creaking around them - the sound of space time stretching and bending, squealing in pain. Next time you listen to this song, that 5 might be a 7. And that 4 over 3? It’s 13 over 22 now. Thomas is trapped in this polyrhythmic paradox, and he wrote this as a call for help. But every time we come to his aid, the door will have molded into a wall and there’s no trace except a subtle smell of sweaty drumsticks. You can even hear his screams every time the song starts over.

This song is a marvel. Meshuggah are the only ones who can carry a metal song for 21 minutes and not wear out their welcome, and it all being so crazy makes it a new experience every listen. I don't think they will ever outdo this song, and I doubt anyone will ever be as cool as you are whilst analyzing music. Grapes, by the way.

You can see the process a bit on some studio footage that was recently posted. Looks like Tomas layed down the drum parts, and then Fredrik literally looked at either the wave forms or midi of the drum sections and played along with the semi-randomized grooves Tomas played. I'm sure it was a bit more complicated than that but actually a lot more doable than it seems

A guy named Jonathan Pieslak actually did an academic breakdown of about the first third of I, along with some comparisons to more "conventional" Meshuggah, as a master's thesis in music theory. The paper was called Re-Casting Metal: Rhythm and Meter in the Music of Meshuggah, and was published in the 29th issue of Music Theory Spectrum in 2007. It's been interesting referring back and forth between your transcription and his analysis as I watch and listen.

I was originally released on Fractured Transmitter records, and as a teenager obsessed with Mushroomhead and 7 strings I promptly went out and bought it. Never heard anything like it. I figured out and memorised the section at 6:09, but could never get my head around the rest of the incredible record. Incredible work as always, Yogev. Always felt that Catch 33 was just the continuation of the theme set with I, and always baffled that more people didn't rate this as one of their best records. Incredible from start to finish. Would love to see it live, but the band have always maintained they a) can't and b) won't.

Kumquats! Thanks for doing this - massive project! As a guitarist, I love the riffs starting at 9:32 - the guitars and bass sort of bow down to the drums. Every time the snare hits, they all budge down from their slow ascent. It sounds helpless to me, like they’re stuck. It’s a simple compositional trick, maybe, but I haven’t heard anything like it.

I have a very strong feeling that the reason these seem random is because Tomas just went in and just went for it.. Playing all kinds of crazy ass shit and Fred recorded it all. Then they learned what Tomas played, pieced it all together and it all became what we all know to be as I.. I have programmed drums once before any guitar riffs where created and it was a pretty fun and interesting approach to creating a new song. That's most likely why Fred had that intro section "tabbed" out the way he did. Makes the most sence to me.. Great channel and love all the Mesh stuff..

I actually did this same thing with the intro a couple years ago. I even tried taking the two basic rhythmic units and assigning them values of 1 and 0 and inputting that information into a binary data decoder to see if there was a hidden message encoded into the part. It still seems to me like there is some sort of method to it but I couldn't identify any pattern, and if there is some musical cryptography involved, I don't think it's anything simple that we'll ever be able to crack.

We just need to layer other Meshuggah songs over it until it like IDK, unlocks the secrets of reality or something. That's where you come in Yogev, you are the best at breaking down Meshuggah so it's up to you to find the key to unlock the "ultimate Meshuggah song".

While this is hella impressive and Meshuggah is and will always be in my top 3 bands, this isn't super hard to do in a modern studio setting. There's video you can see of them recording this, and it looks like Tomas played semi random parts that Fredrick then went back and analyzed and layered guitar over. Then from there it's just a matter of copy/pasting the patterns to create an even more randomized pattern, especially if they knew they weren't planning to play it live.

Another awesome video. The more you unpack Meshuggah the more it blows my mind their ability to absolutely crush the norm in the music industry and take song writing to a new level. Their is no other, only imitation. I can’t believe those guys just come up with this stuff. Also, do you use software to slow the songs down to figure them out?

I don't use one, but there's a software called 'Transcribe' that I know is good. Also there used to be an app called "the amazing slowdowner" but idk if it's still around

Off topic but I’m so glad to see your channel “blowing up” as it were. I remember your earlier videos I’d watch that were of similar good quality and me being flabbergasted that your subs weren’t more. Keep it up.

This here is an infinite jam. No rhythmic "center" but the rhythmic "identity" is there. (Mango) I felt like I plunged into the depths of creation listening to this.

Strawberries go pretty hard. Great job on writing this whole masterpiece out. Every time I would listen to “I” I would try to write the notes out in my head, and of course it failed every time. It boggles my mind on how they even began the writing process for “I”, every section quite literally is random, just repeated randomness. “I” is one of few 15+ minute songs that I actually bother to sit through, and I appreciate you covering it. Sorry if this sounds like incoherent rambling.

@@subsume7904 No fucking way it's random. And the reason they never play it live it's because the song is long, exausting and it would take 1/4 of the full time of the show to play it.

Mandarin Orange. Awesome transcription. I don't count it, I just listen. I am a musician and I cannot just hear music (because of that curse of being a musician) but I try to dissect who is doing what, and I hear any secret nuances I never heard before. Just studying it.

This is kind of off topic, but whenever I listen to I, I imagine it as the soundtrack to a scene in a Warhammer 40K movie of a ship traveling through the Warp. Seriously, go on the 40K wiki and read about the Warp while listening. I suppose you could do this with Catch ThirtyThree as well.

that's awesome, I have a video here on youtube playing that song on the guitar from 2008 when we could only upload 10 min video maximum, so its separated in 3 parts and it has a terrible sound/video quality :P Funny to see that I did exactly the same thing as you trying to figure out the patterns, still have the papers with my nottings on it!
