@@Guitarz4Lyf Paper Moon also has an amazing guest guitar solo from Jakub Zytecki, another crazy solo guitarist that is Plini's friend and is somone Plini looks up to. Plini says that Jakub always seems to be years ahead of him in terms ideas. Would recommend checking out Jakub Zytecki - Sunflower.
This one is off of his first EP, he programmed everything except the guitars, all by himself in his bedroom through an axe fx. This EP is the first EP of a trilogy of EPs, 'other things' 'sweet nothings' and 'the end of everything'. The first 2 EPs are mostly all plini, and Marco Minneman plays drums on the third EP. he has mixed all the EPs himself, and the piano parts were played by luke martin, who mastered all three EPs. All of his later works mostly have actual drummers and bassist on them, but the Eps are almost entirely programmed and orchestrated by him except for the pianos.
@@Guitarz4Lyf He was steadily growing since this EP trilogy, and selenium forest is definitely one of plini's most popular songs. But I guess he really started blowing up when electric sunrise came out, especially since Steve Vai called that album 'The future of guitar' and then people who wanted to listen tk more of plini, discovered the older EPs and singles. If you haven't checked out the new album, you oughtta react to 'Pan' from impulse voices by him. Your audience would love it!
I believe Plini was solo until the Handmade cities album and just got his musician friends to play on releases/live. He formed a band with Simon Grove on Bass( he also does all the mixing, also plays bass and mixes for other solo artists as well) and Troy Wright on drums(he actually tried out for Animals As Leaders before going to Plini). With this album he started to get the other musicians to write their music. Sometime around Sunhead Troy wright left to teach, and he brought in a new drummer, forgot his name but hes a beast. Fun fact is that his band members "complain" (joking of course) about playing live because Plini pushes them to freestyle as much as they can. I can definitely vouch for this as I've seen them 4 times now and each time they play more and more off script. I think its pretty well established that Tosin from Animals as Leaders is the most talented modern guitarist in the world, but I think when it comes to everything that goes into releasing music, Plini is the best.
Mitchell, I have quickly learned and enjoyed the master craftsmanship that goes into Plini's music. It is quite interesting learning more of the dynamics of him as he's kind of a solo artist but partners with others
@@Guitarz4Lyf I'm glad you've been taking the time learn about and enjoy him! Watching people who actually know what they are talking about react gives me an even deeper appreciation for it, so thank you. His next album shouldn't be too far off so I'd love to see you react once it drops!
Tosin being the most talented isn't "well established". Lol. Yes he is fantastic, yes his music is fantastic. But there are still people who can contest that title. Like polyphia, jason fking richardson, stephen taranto, etc
This is the 2nd or 3rd song of the first(or second, i forgot the sequence) ep in Plini's "Things" ep trilogy. The melody at 7:42 (of your reaction vid) resurfaces in one song for each ep. They appear in "opening" from the sweet nothings ep and "paper moon" in the the end of everything ep. Highly recommend you check them out. Also highly recommend listening to ALL the eps
I saw Plini with Periphery earlier this year. He is a solo artist but they just call the band that he performs with Plini. Such an amazing live show. I recommend Paper moon and Cascade as a couple more songs to check out. Periphery is another amazing band to check out! They have three guitarists and every member of the band is at the top of their game. I would check out Satellites, Reptile, or Remain indoors.
Im waiting for the Periphery reaction also! that would be awesome. Talking about plini tho, I discovered him through Intervals when they did shows playing together and was amazed.
Chris allison is the drummer, bassist is Simon grove, I think he's amazing, he also featured in pharaoh by the omnific. I saw something that said plini does all the other guitar and synth parts
@@Guitarz4Lyf honestly man, the term Selenium is probably referencing the greek meaning of the word which is related to the moon (hence the album art), as the name Selene was the greek titan goddess of the moon. So maybe envision a dense forest under the moonlight.
I'm not 100% sure about this song, but on his Handmade Cities album (Electric Sunrise being one of the songs from said album) Simon Grove plays bass and Tony Wright on drums.
Yo man! You gotta check out Sleep Token if you like the atmospheric stuff from Tessaract. Check out The Offering and Dark Signs. Also, Erra’s song Orchid is sick for prog
9:16 Electric guitar without a doubt. With palm muting which is what gives it the particular sound. I actually just watched this as well where he plays it :) ruclips.net/video/w6FZD03AKjk/видео.html#t=3m32s
Say “plenty” without the T and that’s how I always have heard it lol. Also, he basically has a consistent team that he hires to record for him/tour with him.
CSProductions.29 that’s how a lot of the new generation of solo guitarists do it. Him and Intervals (Aaron Marshall) are the two best examples that I can think of.
@@Guitarz4Lyf His name is actually pronounced Plih-knee, the first I sounds like the I in bin. Simon Grove is his goto-guy for production and mixing, he also plays bass on a lot of Plini's releases and live shows. Plini writes/arranges everything himself, from the (bass) guitar parts to the synths and programming drums. His first two releases, including this track, featured programmed drums instead of the real thing and only a few guest solo's and guitar parts. His first album, Handmade Cities, featured recorded tracks for drums and bass by Troy Wright and Simon respectively. The list of musicians he has worked with so far is impressive, I can recommend taking a look at his Bandcamp page ( plini.bandcamp.com/ ) or his website ( plini.co/about ). Seeing as you have a small selection of electric guitars, he also has a Neural DSP plugin called Archetype: Plini ( neuraldsp.com/products/archetype-plini/ ). In case you're wondering, it's a piece of software to emulate his sound through amp modelling, a few effects and cabinet simulation. Just hook up the guitar through an audio interface and shred along in your DAW of choice or standalone ;) it has a free trial btw. A few other artists I would like to mention, if you'd like some more of this type of (instrumentals only) music: Animals as Leaders, Arch Echo, Intervals, Periphery, Sithu Aye and Jakub Zytecki. You already heard of Chon and Polyphia ;)
@@Guitarz4Lyf I’m also pretty sure the bassist he works with (Simon grove) does all of the mixing and mastering. Plini writes all of the parts, I’m sure he gives artists creative liberties of course but he pretty much structures everything.
To answer your question, plini composes all the music himself but he has a band he hires to play live. He does do collaborations but not with his live band. Last I heard the helix nebula band is now playing for plini
More Plini!!!! YESSSS. I recommend Paper Moon makes me cry of joy
Say no more! I'll get to it. Stay tuned
YES TO THIS ONE

Yo! Thank you for the insight here. That's pretty crazy. Is this one of the EP's that helped get him "bigger"?

Selenium is an element on the periodic table that is very blood red and has properties similar to arsenic.
Thanks bro. I was looking for this comment.
Also is a crystalline non-metal with semiconducting properties
So glad you reacted to this one man. My absolute favorite song by Plini. Loved the reaction
Thank you Matthew!

Ahhhh, Diego I didn't realize that. Also, will be checking out Paper Moon soon!
So hyped to see what you think about this one keep it up
Thanks victor!
Plini is the Mozart of our time, in my opinion. Great channel! For more similar to him, try Sithu Aye, David Maxim Mucic and Intervals. Enjoy!
Couldn't have said it better myself Quinton.
Plini is awesome! What'd you think?
he is awesome.
it is "Plin-ee" edit: some might be familiar with that name via Pliny the Roman philosopher.
@@TwoandaHater ahhh, I didnt know that

I'll work to get to Periphery this weekend. Stay tuned for the uploads once I get them edited and on the upload schedule!
Yeah Cam, being a solo artist and because that´s his actual first name. Full is Plini Roessler-Holgate.
Chris allison is the drummer, bassist is Simon grove, I think he's amazing, he also featured in pharaoh by the omnific.
I saw something that said plini does all the other guitar and synth parts
Selenium is a mineral, it helps with metabolism and thyroid activity

you should react to heart by plini, one of my favorite songs of him, such a pice of art❤️
I'll add it!
I'm not 100% sure about this song, but on his Handmade Cities album (Electric Sunrise being one of the songs from said album) Simon Grove plays bass and Tony Wright on drums.
Thank you for the help here
Dude, you got to react to Cascade live, it's the most impressive display of plini's rhythmic ability and the video is brilliant!
Coming to you soon. I have to finish editing some videos. Although I didn't realize there was a video. =/ Stay tuned!
Selenium used to be used in manufacturing electronics, so a selenium forest would be a manufactured or electronic forest I think.
it is an element
Ahhh gotcha. Thank you guys for the help here.
The absolute best Plini tunes have to be either Flaneur or Electric Sunrise.
Better make sure it is on my list to listen to then! Also check out my first reaction to him which was Electric Sunrise if you haven't already. =)
I just love atlas by plini...current favorite

Listen to Salt + Charcoal , i think its his best song
You got it!
Would love to see you react to Nick Johnston.
What song by him?
