Plini - Selenium Forest (Audio)

[@Wordsmith00]

My wife,who is not into any kind of metal,still does not realize what a beautiful gift she gave me when she accidentally found this song and shared it with me.

[@ethanperrodin6012]

Dude I empathize! My wife (brand new, October 7, 2023) digs Polyphia and wants to go see them live with me. Also we both just got into sleep token. Plini..next level. I’m 3 minutes in and blown away. After discovering Scott and Tim, I thought I was going to be hard to impress, but yet I was reassured by the grace of music’s glory yet again.

[@stonerdemon]

A virtuoso guitarist that puts the song first and the technical show off second. That's what makes for a successful solo career and Plini is going that way.

[@faisal1582]

criminally underrated comment. The reason why I can't stand Malmsteen.

[@psk5896]

@@faisal1582 i agree to a degree , Malmsteen can really mess up some Classical music interpretations But i think it's just his style and personality i love most of his music for what it is, Flashy and showy But yea , The Comment described Plini quite well (coming up with such non flashy complex music will be hard but since it's not flashy it will be idk easier for someone to just cover it mindlessly without knowing the complexity of it?) Just my opinion

[@saidhruv7018]

@Jeff T malmsteen is technically insanely good but I can't listen.to his stuff for more than 2 and a half minutes tops

[@mattjns]

Hi it’s me, Matt, from the future. His new album is a fkn masterpiece.

[@stonerdemon]

The first three Malmsteen albums are beautiful. Absolutely beautiful, both in terms of technique and songwriting.

[@semanticsamuel936]

One of the many things I love about this is that I could play it. It's a complex piece with tonnes of melodic and harmonic variety, but Plini doesn't feel the need to spend the whole piece demonstrating he's amazing at guitar by shredding and sweep picking the whole way through. The complexity comes from its compositional sophistication, which I personally find more more interesting and impressive than your run of the mill shred guitarist.

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

Very well said, mate! He's very, very good at using his amazing technique for the sake of the piece and not just to show off. That's why he's such a good composer: he serves the song by writing fitting parts, he doesn't feed his ego like many of his 'collegues' do.

[@eliccasas8461]

@everyone

[@benjaminjentgen3596]

Shredding doesn't mean ego by itself. Yeah of course some guitarists just want to go hyper fast and in the end it's a big mess, but others shred 'on purpose'. When I listen to DT, I never feel Petrucci just wants to show off, most of the times it does fit the music. But indeed Plini's music is clearly very good like this with few shred parts, it's his style and it works well!

[@krookiemonster2673]

Allllll about the feeeeels! Also i noticed u said tonnes instead of tones.. was that on purpose? Esta tonnes? He shreds in a flamenco way haha

[@420THETANK]

I thought I was the only one who thought this way, I play guitar with that aspect also

[@kzelmer]

The prgression which starts at 5:05 is simply amazing. As a classic pianist myself I have to say that Plini has the impressiv ability that Chopin had in his Ballades: take a phase (riff) and constantly evolve that phrase throughout the entire piece. Simple and fucking difficult at the same time. Priceless.

[@kzelmer]

Have you ever played any Chopin's late works? Polyphony and harmonic (as well as technical) complexity is omnipresent Just take a look at Third Sonata or Ballade 4... Liszt, Alkan, Rach... all of them have more demanding pieces, but it does not mean that Chopin's work (as I said, specially late works) are easy or harmonically simple

[@raspillade6027]

As Chopin, I concur

[@orb3796]

@@mmhmm9021 Jazz absolutely isn't as complicated as classical lmao. It took jazz until about 1970 to move to post-tonal music, something classical music did more than half a century before it in the 1910's. Classical also implemented polyrhythms, quartal harmonies and experimental instrumentations before jazz even existed. Besides that classical music features polyphony while jazz remains homophonic. This isn't even talking about formal complexities classical has that no other genre even bothers with. On god I'm not even mad about you being wrong, it's the smugness with which you were wrong that got me

[@rikospostmodernlife]

I thought the classical training term for riff was ostinato

[@seanelias9246]

Gotta be said Plini grabs every single good bit about Prog Metal, his stuff is heavy, melodic, technical, catchy, chill, cleverly written and to top it all of, he uses some pretty neat sounding synths, fucking quality

[@cameroncraft8050]

No artist gives me the groovy chills better than Plini. Can't find another

Buckethead

[@23Eulogy23]

What? People still make masterpieces?? Pfft No way... Modern Masterpieces 💜

[@Schwaaaang]

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this since I discovered it 3 days ago

[@nikagabersek5721]

I feel you

[@suprchickn7745]

I hear Satriani, James Hetfield progressions, Vai, and definitely Petrucci. With all the great guitarists of the last 30 years how could you not be influenced?

[@ImDefNotFamous]

This song on acid made me cry

[@tarikay93]

Hook me up some? ;)

[@roeroethaboat]

[@andysux1]

@@roeroethaboat been there

[@claytonsmith1229]

Did this song on acid make you cry or did you crying to this song make you go on acid? Or... Were you crying on acid then had to go listen to the song?

[@hibernative]

Dude everything makes you cry on acid haha

[@anweshbhattacharya8017]

So much Guthrie and Petrucci in this one.

[@shevelovms]

don't agree) sorry)

[@ef4861]

1:52 ?? thats straight up petrucci man

[@Massflavour]

intro is very guthrie, rest of it has petrucci written all over it. i was right about to make the same comment

[@GeorgeJacobs]

Really, Everything has to come from somewhere. Guthrie wishes he can like this guy.

[@Omeggia]

1:38 is incredibly DT (at their best)

[@elemair9210]

To me, this feels like the warm embrace of the mother I never had, telling me everything is okay

[@MrStupidsignup]

I’ve been playing this song to this day, it just never gets old.

[@lilly3382]

i have no words to describe what i'm feeling right now

[@alexandert696]

Draw something then.

[@Parallax151]

You just described what you were feeling by saying that

[@vapourousshades6349]

Bliss?

[@wavetech_]

I just discovered Plini...I did a great thing....4 dimensional playing; feeling and technique...Good job! :D Keep it up!

[@marcelogodoy3]

I think this is very influenced by "Libertango" by Aztor Piazzolla.

[@ziyif]

Nice catch! I knew it sounded familiar!

[@ryanopperman6157]

You know, it does. Very similar

[@ZachoLibre]

I found you and this song completely by accident. Looking for fast paced instrumental music for my work playlist. You've been nothing short of a blessing and an absolute treat to listen to. Keep up your amazing work you crazy diamond.

[@cryogami]

Gotta thank Veritas for playing this on one of his streams and introducing me to it. It's strangely hypnotic and is one of my favorite songs to just chill to constantly on loop.
