The Allseeing I - Principium individuationis

[@XrandomnessX]

Despite all the bass videos, what I've really gotten from your channel is the urge to play TF2 again.

[@strangehands89]

i still don't realize how natural this man appears while he plays,he way beyond a genius,i'm astonished

[@lisahinteregger2761]

I ' m astonished ! Namaste'

[@voidbenk]

Who else still listens to this album in 2020?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

I kinda forgot this even existed, so I believe it's just you 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@voidbenk]

Erlend Caspersen but the one before was also great. Were you playin bass on that album aswell?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@@voidbenk I've been in the band throughout its lifespan, so yes.

[@voidbenk]

@@ErlendCaspersen you also have a video of "back to the basics" with the same band. was that an unreleased song or demo? were you guys planning a new album back than?

[@anamethat]

Jesus Christ, absolutely stunning bass-line, so well structured and diverse, stylistically speaking.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

In terms of English, you`re better than most of the people who comment on here, even from the american+english users, so don`t worry. Thanks, though.

[@Корнеславсущий-б5э]

Man, this is a masterpiece, that's just a pity that the group is no more

[@vjulianv]

I visit your chanel like 10 times per month (for about 2-3 years i think) watching all your videos, and this is my favorite ever. Daaamn! Cheers from mexico! I saw you with BDT in mex city, and you was the show man!

[@thenoodleking]

By the Gods, you are an absolutely amazing bassist. My hat's off to you, sir.

[@ViscusLupus]

I love the growl in your sound. Great job man.

[@sammemqandil]

I love the bass solo of this song so much

[@Sloshthedark]

even remembering one of these is worth admiration, nice! both skill and music

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Way to find a "loophole" since right hand speed and dexterity goes hand in hand (har har), which now has been rectified in my profile. Thanks for that. The reasoning for being blunt about this is that this channel is not about educating as I'm the furthest thing from an educationalist and my interest in the subject is not there anymore. Hence, I have no tricks and whatnot examples that I've ever used. I just played and failed and played and failed. Constantly repeating myself is tedious, which

[@PanzerTank521]

This is some badass bass playin. Hearing this actually reminded me of Sleep Terror a little bit.

[@jeb5010]

great playing dude!

[@CGpeb]

TF2 Soldier's shirt ... respect ! Sick playing !

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

Tahnks for your answer, I think it was enough for my needs, though I see dexterity as a synonym to right hand speed and stamina is what was this all about. Could be wrong, but..

[@stevek051]

WOW.... !! Great Job Brother !!

[@bleedgreen17]

Ugh. Just insane. By the way, love your work in Blood Red Throne - last album was great.

[@LykanVarion]

I found you on steam *stalkermode deactivated* It's great to see that you have almost just as much TF2 hours as me! :)

[@ErlendCaspersen]

TF2 is the most important meal of the day.

[@LykanVarion]

Indeed it is!

[@LykanVarion]

Do you play soldier the most, or..?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Yup. I reset my stats before christmas, so I'm only at 200+ hours with soldier at the moment. I will assume the real number is around 17-1800 hours and the rest randomly spread out on the other classes. bit.ly/TtpjvS

[@LykanVarion]

Nice, damn nice. I'm at around 2300 spy hours myself. Do you mind if i add you on steam? :]

[@Michele-Gawen-balderbass]

AMAZING!!! You're great!

[@ErlendCaspersen]

basically is what I do for a job and I have a kid. That`s why my profile says what it does, since I have little or nothing to offer.

[@WhoWalkTheEarth]

You could do it again with your new camera! When life, physics and calculus overcomes me, your channel makes me realize that nothing is too impossible :P (sorry about my English :) )

[@Reapsftw]

Hey Erlend, how long is your action? Do you get any fret buzz, or would you say it's average? Also, do you use standard gauge strings? Because getting up to that speed with thicker strings I'd think to be impossible! Also, great job man, pure insanity.

[@jptiol]

this is the best bass playing video ever in my opinion do you have a guitar pro file of this, tabs or its all in your mind?

[@techniqueswithtodd]

Very impressive playing. So good in fact that some folks thing it's somehow fake. I think your hands are faster than their eyes. :)

[@AttitudeCastle]

Basically, to build that stamina and dexterity you simply need to play play play play! It's the only way really. And gigging helps alot as you build lots more on stage when the pressure is on :) All the best!

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

I'm glad to hear that! I read your profile and saw you discard comments concerning your right hand speed... I don't want to ask you about speed, but about your stamina. Are you naturally that strong, have such endowment or you had to work really hard on it? Like excercising or so. I like the way how you use 2 fingers, I prefer sound of 2 fingers over 3 fingers sequence. At least, thanks for reading and keep up that insane shit!

[@malakas8redneck]

Hi erlend, do you use any distortions or special pickups or anything for your bass sound, or do you just use clean? i'm guitarplayer and we're using distortion for ours, is it the same for bass?

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@ConorKrummeDD either you can look one post down or go to the info section on my channel. Choices, so many I have problems making one.

[@X3RUBIM]

@bajskung would mind bringing a few allseing I cds with you on the tour?

[@Meksodifjdiamapmxj]

Speechless...

[@jhp92092]

What kind of Amp are you running ur bass through? the tone sounds amazing..

[@sorgutentarer]

I cant even follow with my eyes! :))

[@KjetilLund]

@bajskung Takker takker, er nemlig på utkikk etter min første 5 strengs.

[@KjetilLund]

Fy faen for et beist av en sang! Hvilken model er Warwick'en forresten?

[@P4t3l]

Awesome!

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@Blusgon Spawn of possession isn't enough?

[@cyurisich]

can't say I'm a huge fan of the tech stuff- give me old crusty death/doom anyday- but what this lacks in terms of musical enjoyment it more than makes up for in sheer wow factor. Stunning chops man; really inspires me to get a bit more competent. Keep it up!

[@ShadeGirl123]

Wow! Very fast and great

[@petrikarjalainen2297]

Incredible cover! Almost better than the original! Oh, its'you. Been watching the latest releases mostly, less hairy stuff..

[@Beowulf661]

Nice Warwick!

[@Klasharx3x]

does your fingers hurt playing at that speed?

[@elomaaGUITAR]

simply crazy. very nice man, I wish I coud play that good on guitar :P hahaha

[@SanitysVoid]

Old thrash bass player here, how do you modern guys keep track of song order with what seems to me a jumbled up mess of scales and modes? It makes no sense to me in the way songs normally flow. This style boggles my mind.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

It's called repetition and muscle memory. Personally I prefer music that constantly evolves, instead of confining to popular culture arrangements with chorus, verse, bridge etc., which was brought on in the early 1900's after classical music took an arrow to the knee, to hook people in easier making everything more memorable. To examplify, my other project Spawn of Possession build most of the songs around Mozart's concepts for arranging music - Intro, 4-5 different parts that doesn't repeat keeping the same key, middle part consisting of a different key with continuous evolving music, and an ending with maybe one repetition of a previous part going back to the original key, making it feel complete and thought out. What I'm getting at is that while music with arrangements you've been listening to throughout your whole life will obviously sound familiar and safe, going out of your way to listen to something with a completely different setup will take time to understand and appreciate. It's after all tenfolds more information to take in, in a lot of cases. Give it time.

[@puregroove5171]

+Sanitys Void After listening to this style music long enough, your ears get atuned to the fast playing, I will rest assure you its NOT a jumbled up mess of scales and modes.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@govnogojac please point out the "fake" parts to me. i`m eager to know where i might`ve fooled you all. and how.

[@RockxRevy]

What bass is that?

[@amaranthinagony]

@bajskung do you think you would be able to learn a song like this by ear if you hadn't written it? seriously some of this shit is insane.

[@homelessathome]

so you don't play with spawn of possession anymore?

[@VikramShankarMusic]

I thought porn wasn't allowed on KZbin...

[@pempotfoy6206]

That fingering tough

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@websterx9 We`ve had this conversation before and I don`t see why I have to explain this yet again.

[@Sagfish]

you are an amazing man and i with i had your skills, this is some trippy shit right here... holy damn

[@jptiol]

how can you remenber all the notes??????????

[@homelessathome]

yeah i see. thanks for the quick response anyway. cheers!

[@acerobbins]

Fucking bad ass man! I love the mix of techniques going on here.

[@vjulianv]

AMAZING DUDE! m/ Awesome cover band, btwy! 3:41 - 4:30 Love that part f**ker.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@gorlash Playing the same song over and over til you get it down kinda does that to you.

[@Chatorisa]

Beast!

[@ErlendCaspersen]

HI! Because never rehearsing and never making songs isn't productive, so we're calling it quits once we've recorded our coming EP.

[@ЕленаСемко-и1л]

what its tunning?

[@magi1007]

7: 39 :D Dude.. you are at least the best Bass player i've seen.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@MyAngelsCarryKnives "The warm, damp conditions created in an occupied bed are ideal for the creatures(bed bugs), but they are less likely to thrive when moisture is in shorter supply. Failing to make your bed in the morning may actually help keep you healthy, scientists believe." So, another 2 million views wouldn`t make a difference.

[@Soulfide]

how do you keep this up for seven minutes man god, i would be tired

[@DyslexicTurtle]

It seems like you're so good at playing that you find bass boring, which is why you don't seem to like people that worship you...or stick in bands that people really wish you would.

[@wagsbass]

vow amazing

[@ThisObserver]

Holy hell man!

[@haotehmao]

Eargasms. Eargasms everywhere!

[@truccjuice]

@govnogojac Being as he's the bass player for this band... I don't think so.

[@humpde479]

@yayizme its a band there is also something called google too look this shit up

[@thomasgardh3743]

very entertaining to see you play, self bassist but what you do is not of this earth hehe

[@Deathmetalfan69]

@yayizme one of many erlend band

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Yes, I'm endorsed by Warwick.

[@cornbugs]

make the bed! jajaja joke! COME TO BRAZIL!! Spawn and The Allseeing!!!

[@ErlendCaspersen]

I toured with them.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

@glacier2win "Guy".

[@ErlendCaspersen]

While this is true, it's still a job and not a hobby I once found interesting. If I take on a job\commitment I follow through, simple as that.

[@Murkojesef]

hehe... Epic ending :)

[@funkbeastbasslover]

@bajskung people seem to forget you actually play in bands lol you're so sick man

[@EvidenceFragmentary]

some peoples comments are ridiculous ....lol fucking noobs ... dude you are a fucking beast much respect cannot wait for the new album!

[@rapleyable]

dude is that a Team Fortress tee shirt? looks like a solly

[@darkdrageon]

Jerk?? That's exactly the opposite of what Erlend tries to reach with his particular aproach to the fanbase, he's just stating he's not arrogant enough to call himself a "God".

[@bygraptharshammer]

looks like quite the work out lol

[@homelessathome]

i've read somewhere you've lost your interest in playing bass.

[@ErlendCaspersen]

Quit a year ago.

[@ssseeezzzeeeerrr]

what the fuck the dude :) you re the best in the u tube bassist second is cannibalistic zombie 3.one is maybe me eheh i try to upload my videos coming soon but i need help for u how i found some song tap because sometimes it's really hard to found true tabs i need your help when u re free please send your email adress my acoount see ya good job

[@ErlendCaspersen]

I honestly have problems following your logic here.

[@Sprite_525]

Schopenhauer brought me here

[@LarryHappening]

I think I just came...

[@DyslexicTurtle]

People worship you due to your unmatched technique in the genre. Sure there's jazz musicians that I'm sure could walk circles around you but understand most people, Americans in particular, and very musically ignorant. Find their own preference to be superior. I wish the best of luck to you, I do look up to your bass playing as I'm in the genre as well. hope you find something you can be passionate about.

[@2scrimble9]

@ssseeezzzeeeerrr kek?

[@Klasharx3x]

Want to be my best friend? :D
