Here’s a visualized/geometric version of Spasm you might enjoy - this is from a rhythm game that sort of turns riffs into shapes, and Meshuggah being what they are, their songs turn into really cool shapes :) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHmwdqBtp5ZqqrM

That hidden riff is exactly why I love this song so much! It's like a steady anchor to ground the whole thing, but it's sooo subtle amidst the loud, heavy spasming, it gives a feeling of holding on to a thin thread trying not to be swept away by a violent storm. Absolutely magical!
@fonesrphunny72422 жыл бұрын
Meshuggah's rhythms are a bit too wild for my taste, so I always listen for something to latch on and bang to. That said, this 'hidden riff' always stood out to me. Shows how differently we listen to music, even as musicians.

I love this song-- a gem along with Organic Shadows. But I also love the humility you show. Not at first consciously recognizing the six-beat nature of the phrase and telling us about it is rad, because it shows that even talented musicians like yourself don't always hear everything the first time. You've had this angle a few times on your channel-- a teacher who still learns. And I really appreciate it!

Yogev I just wanted to say I’m a drummer and huuuuuuuge Meshuggah nerd and I’ve struggled to play that snare solo in spasm for years. I can play the rest of the song but always get lost at the snare solo, I just can’t count it consistently, as soon as the crash comes in I end up playing some hits too early or late. This visual representation FINALLY unlocked it for me. Thank you so much 👏🏻

This song was one of the first from Meshuggah that truly struck me when I first started listening to them waaay back. In a sense, rediscovering it through your perspective made me realize that the song actually has the same sonic mindbending quality as "Catch 33", which has been my favorite Meshuggah record, and one of my all time faves for quite some time. Oh, and the whining worked. *SUBSCRIBED*
@icipher67304 ай бұрын
This part of Spasm makes it quite unique among other Meshuggah songs, because I don't remember any other piece in their entire discography having such a clean, clear and stable melodic counterpoint that goes throughout the entire piece only with minor changes applied to it.

I'd been analysing the song for years and learning the pattern of each riff. I even learned the drum solo pattern. But I NEVER noticed the half step down. I only noticed it because I skipped to the end of the song by accident once. When I did that, it absolutely blew my mind
