Writing BANGER METAL RIFFS using Indian methods

[@mattias_ia_eklundh]

Thanks a bunch for inviting me to mess around on your beautiful channel, o tiptop Yogev!

My favorite guitarist featuring in a video of Yogev !!! Incredible !!! Love it ! Greetings to both of you from New Caledonia !!!

[@YogevGabay]

Best viking guitarist on ze web!

[@The47hitmen]

I feel like we metalheads have reached a point where we need our own Woodstock where we would compose Djent tracks using Konnakol while high on acid or shrooms...

[@horatiumoldovan6425]

I switched from djent to preparative organic chemistry and this insane video is insanely inspiring as multidisciplinary approach can afford conversion of molecular structures into rhythm via multiple coding methods but is there a way to make chemistry with djent?

[@SlyHikari03]

Grateful dead but metal. Haha

[@AidanMmusic96]

The best collaboration!! A Reshuffling of Atoms is one of the biggest musical headaches I've ever heard.

YES! When my drummer (HEJ MARC) told me about your channel I got hooked and knew that you and Mattias would make a perfect match! I'm glad this came to be

[@joanbighorn9778]

The three of you need to be in a band together, that was incredibly fun to listen to.

[@SelfPropelledDestiny]

It was really cool to hear the metal riff/song in the beginning (1:15) and not really understand it. I thought it sounded really cool but obviously had no idea what counting was being employed. But then after the whole content of the video, I got to see you all play it and understand every bit of it. Great work!

[@YogevGabay]

OHHHHH great !!!!

[@blackfowl75]

The final song? It’s actually Mattias’ song that they decomposed for the video. Just search for A Reshuffling Of Atoms.

[@hauntingthegrave]

Been trying to white more things like this since learning about it haha it's awesome

[@zcguitar1]

Great video as always! Definitely going to lead me down a rabbit hole! I will note that in your example at 4:40 the "Tha Ri Ki Ta Thom" is missing the "Ki" and is actual a triplet then 1/16 "Tha Ri Ta Thom", at least is how your saying it. Only noticed because I slowed the video down to 50% to play along because those 32nds are almost too fast to play let alone say! The drum and bass version is dead on though and super rad!

[@YogevGabay]

Dude I slowed it down to hear and I sound super drunk hahahahahha this is hilarious ! But yeah, my pronunciation isn't great, still working on it !

[@zcguitar1]

@@YogevGabay I noticed that as well, it's very funny! I've repeated it so many times trying to get the pattern down it might end up haunting my dreams haha.

[@yr92_]

Brilliant! Yogev, have you perchance listened to Consider The Source? They play an awesome blend of fusion music with lots of Indian rhythmic and melodic tomfoolery in their songs. Check out the songs Tihai For The Straight Guy or Ninjanuity!

[@SlyHikari03]

Tihai was the song that got me into them.

[@robertpien8708]

Yogev what a great lesson so much great information loved it . There is so many great rythrm to learn this Indian art form . This really opens up the mind and the body. It's very exciting great job excuting the rythems.

[@YogevGabay]

Oh hell yeah. Konnakol is the best way to enrich your rhythmic horizons especially if you're trained in western music! it's so different it's gold.

[@EdwinvanKoppen]

Talvin Singh also used this on some song. Great music!

[@studiostelemaque9171]

Great one ! 😮 I have a question about konnakol : in a konnakol "beat", the choice of the syllabes is free or there are some rules to follow ? I don't know if I'm clear 🤔...I mean, it seems when I ear about konnakol that everything is regulated, but the choice of the syllabes of a pattern seems to be more like an artistic choice of the composer, am I right ?

[@blackfowl75]

There definitely are some rules. Konnakol uses whatever rhythmic unit you want but you have to stick to it until you hit the ta again. Most of the time. Also, the syllables do have an order. 1 unit is ta, 2 units is ta ka, 3 ta ki te, ta ka ti mi, ta ki te da thom, etc. Not sure how to build 6, 7 and more but I know they’re just combinations of those… sentences? I suggest doing your own research and/or watching Mattias’ videos on the subject to know more about it.

[@YogevGabay]

I'ts a pretty interesting subject and I won't pursue myself as if I'm an export. I learn a lot of these by ear, and after a while you seem to kinda "get" the aesthetics of it, if that makes sense?

[@studiostelemaque9171]

Thanks guys :-) Yogev, I suggest you check the work of Sean Reinert (I don't know if you heard of him). Nothing to deal with konnakol 😅, but he was an amazing drummer who passed away unexpectingly recently. In the album Focus of the band Cynic, there are some cool rythmical surprises that sounds very musical to my poor guitarist's ears ! I'm not sure we deal with polyrythm, but more like rythmical tricks. Tracks like Sentiment, I'm but a Wave to, the last part of How Could I, or Textures, etc. At that time this band was considered like an ufo in the metal scene (1993 I think), but I think it is a great influence for many 2000s bands. You Can also check the Traced In Air album, it is more recent, it sounds more actual, but it is more "standard" rythmically (even if there are impressive drum fills 😍).

[@YogevGabay]

@@studiostelemaque9171 Man I LOVE Cynic and Sean. Was pretty devastated to hear when he passed, but managed to actually see Cynic live in 2007 !
