Definitely my favorite off of this record. It's just so tasty. That and Matt will get me into almost anything. How did you end up striking a gig with the best drummer in the world?

[@LouisdeMieulle]

We met at Berklee back in 2008... Matt recorded that tune and album a little before moving to LA and then auditioning for AAL etc... Soundfrieze might be my favorite too! Pretty extreme in terms of minimalism and variations. Surprisingly it was written pretty quickly, using a "visual", "geometric" approach. Anyway, thanks for the support, friend!

[@Animefreakinfiniti7]

@@LouisdeMieulle Oh....I'd like to hear more about this "visual" "geometric" approach.

@@LouisdeMieulle did you delete it? oh no! i just found this and love it

[@estebanclouthier8521]

This feels like Meshuggah's progressive polyrithm but with jazz-fusion to the top. Very very interesting!

[@JGBDYT]

Would feel alone without this kind of musicians. Thanks for this fabulous project

[@jaidenreed1316]

i absolutely love this project. i listen to the whole album everyday. Skuld is my all time!

wow y'all really tore apart 4/4 this is gives me so many compositional ideas

[@LouisdeMieulle]

So glad to hear, Jordan! Also the fact that the whole tune is based on just 4 notes :)

I'm so eager to buy the album! Been loving the vids!

[@izackredmon1725]

Oh the wonders of 4/4...

[@louison79]

+Izack Redmon I know, right? Don't get me wrong, I think 4/4 is The Mother of all signatures, the richest, the most perfect. This track is just an experiment in odd groupings you know... Check out our other video "Nanobot" - 4/4 all the way.

[@izackredmon1725]

Oh bro I love that song!! That was the first one I heard

This is why Zappa was wrong!

[@ajgdrums24]

Wonderful music, i love all of your work. On the versions on Spotify, does Matt track drums for those too?

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Thanks for the love, dear AJ. Yes, Matt plays on both of my albums (Defense Mechanisms and Stars, Plants & Bugs)

+LouisdeMieulle thanks a ton, I love this album. keep it up!

[@ajgdrums24]

LouisdeMieulle But Matt plays Tama drums...

[@LouisdeMieulle]

True, but we recorded in NYC so we borrowed a kit (Matt lives in LA)

[@ajgdrums24]

LouisdeMieulle Ah right, that makes sense then

woW...........

[@walkermacmillan8683]

Is it possible for me to get a drumless version of this? I want to be able to improv and create my own ideas on this (and also learn the polyrhythm) I would appreciate it soooo much! Let me know

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Hey Walker - the track wasn't recorded to a click, so it's impossible to play over it. Matt tried to play over a drumless mix (in preparation of a clinic), and he gave up... I can send you the chart though, if you're interested. I (and Matt) would be curious to hear your take on this!

[@donsenorcaballero8758]

I feel that for the first time, the sound of the cymbals does not fit

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Please finish your sentence

[@donsenorcaballero8758]

you mean, why i say that?

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Yes, are you talking about the recording or the cymbals themselves? I agree the mix is pretty dark and kind of muffled

[@hi22224]

Definitely disagree. The dark tone is perfect

[@donsenorcaballero8758]

@@hi22224 no sé que pensaba en el momento que escribí ese comentario. Lo escucho ahora y suena perfecto jajaj
