Ligature Marks, Toronto @ The History 2023

Best venue in the city for sound. Wish they play here again in the future as opposed to The Great Canadian Place, which is in the middle of nowhere.

Their live sound is soooooooo good!!!

🤘🏼😝🤘🏼

Never got into Violent Sleep Of Reason album, can you help me get into it?

Hey so Meshuggah is literally and by far my favorite band. I've had favorite bands before Meshuggah and I was never as addicted as much as I am with Shuggah.

However I seem to not understand or not really get into most of the tracks off of TVSOR sadly. It's an album I'd really like to love: I love the artwork, the production, the band's live sets but not in love with most of the tracks.

I find it hard to listen too so I very rarely play it from beginning to end.

However Clockworks is perhaps my favorite Meshuggah track ever with NMCC, and Straws.

I also love Born in Dissonance, like Nostrum and sessions of the title track and some parts from other tracks as well:

The groovy part with the solo in Ivory Tower

The end of Stifled

The beginning of Into Decay

The solo of Monstrocity

And a bunch of things here and there as well but overall I can't seem to get one song really stuck in my head besides Dissonance and Clockworks.

Can anyone explain to me why? What am I missing?

Was this a hard album to get into for you?

How did you get into it?

Confession time :(

I used to tickle my pickle to Meshuggah (and still do) When I was about 13, I loved meshuggah, I had every CD all the way to obzen and immutable and I had every signature guitar and merchandise they had at the store, I was listening to obzen and then all of a sudden Fredrik played his solo and turned me on. COULDN'T STAND IT, I WAS GOING CRAZY. I DECIDED TO PULL OUT MY BIG PICKLE AND START STRANGLING IT, I had never felt so good, I soon continued to do this daily and never got bored of it, I soon decided to hump my Obzen shirt and strangle my pickle to my computer merchandise and phone, I'm glad to still admit i still do this today and I'm never embarrassed and giving up.

A bit of ’Do Not Look Down’ on bass

I was practising Swarm and almost cried, had to play something ”easier” to wind down.

Told by the mechanic the whole engine needs to be replaced

2015 Honda Civic

Does this seem right? He didn’t do anything but listen to it and tell me they can’t do it at their shop. A week ago the car was running totally fine. I was told it’s likely damaged due to lack of on time oil changes but I get them on time and had one recently enough it wasn’t time for another yet. I am pretty noob when it comes to cars so this is leaving me quite confused. any help is super appreciated

Visualizing and breaking down the Quasi-Isorhythm in this riff of Dancers to a Discordant System

Hi guys i wanted to share this since i feel like isn't talked

For those who don't know isorhythm it's a medieval technique where you have repeating pattern of both Pitches (called Color) and Rhythm (called Talea). Each one of them, Color and Talea had a different number of notes, so when they were sung together they would displace, creating new melodic-rhythmic combinations before eventually lining up again.

In the song Dancers to a Discordant System a resemblance of this technique is used in some riffs, like the showed riff in the video, we have a base pitch series of 15 notes and a rhythm one of 10 notes, these would repeat but with a tweak, the pitch series will have 3 repeats variations were each one will add a different extra note(pointed out with blue in the video). The Rhythm pattern on the other side will have 1 repeat variation were it will add an extra note wich correspond to the extra note of the Pitch repetitions.

The alignment match will go like this :

Pitch: 15 notes(A')+16 (A'') + 16 (A'')+ 16 (A''') = 63 notes

Rhythm : 10 notes (B) + 11 (B') = 21 notes

This will make the Rhythm full series repeat 3 times before align with the Pitch again: 21 x 3 = 63

And that's what i wanted to share, it's different than the usual polymeter in many of their songs and i think it's really cool
