  • @sebastiansmith7591
    @sebastiansmith7591 3 года назад +275

    If I am not mistaken, the word "Monomyth" was coined/crafted by James Joyce in Finnegans Wake (perhaps the most impenetrably esoteric book known to man) and was repurposed by mythology scholar Joseph Campbell to talk about the journey of departure and return undertaken by heroes throughout world mythology:
    "The standard path of the mythological adventure of the hero is a
    magnification of the formula represented in the rites of passage: separation-initiation-return: which might be named the nuclear unit of the monomyth" (from The Hero With a Thousand Faces)
    Is it any coincidence that this catchy little tune has elements from all previous AAL releases? From the manic thumping of Madness, to the melodious epicness of Joy, to the dreamy and unnerving electronic textures of Weightless and, of course, the absurdly mindblowing shredding of the eponymous 1st album? It's all there: snippets from the cycle of the AAL discography, mixed together into a whole new brew of sonic deliciousness...
    Looking forward to the album!!!!

      Matt and Damom Che forever changed the way I think about drums. More so Matt, since he was the first technical drummer I heard, but Damon Che, (with the help of his oh ther bandmates of course), forever changed the face of mathrock. They're the drummers I judge other drummers with remotely similar styles by.

    Modulating meter over this sequence of tuplets -> 5 - 7 - 7 - 5 - 5 - 7... with quarters it's just long 9/4 .. But when matt starts implying triplets my brain breaks a little

      They won't say no because of the implication (of triplets)

      @@MikeyJBlakeJR best way I can explain it is go to the count in at :22 seconds in. Hes accenting quarter notes on hi hat which might help you feel where the pulse is.. you can count 9 quarter notes for the whole phrase which is why I said 9/4. *Most* of the song follows this model... the accented rhythm that guitars play throughout the song and what the bass drum mimics are groupings of 5 and 7 (sixteenth notes), if you place that in a quarter note framework .. 5+ 7 + 7 + 5 + 5 + 7 = 36 sixteenth notes = 9 quarter notes.. the problem is when the drums come in he actually modulates to playing every three notes instead of 4 on the hats which I don't know what that "signature" would be.

      @@yourself88xbl yep you gotta essentially go off an internal rhythms of triplets against 5 and 7. So switching from 5ov3 to 7ov3 accordingly.

    I've always wanted to see something like this... I think the music lends it self to all kinds of dance and with a good choreography it just adds to it. ALSO I'm soooooo happy to see credits. Too often the people that put in all that hard work get no shine now a days. All around amazing on everyones part AND THE SONG SLAPS! Dap to everyone involved.

    It’s insane how good these guys are. Somehow they manage to sound like they are from the future but at the same time certain elements of this song remind me of traditional musical genres such as Konnakol. AAL as leaders!
