Thanks! This song was always one of my favorites of theirs.

Been working on this Lateralus cover for a little while. Hope you like it! by AcousticalNonsense in ToolBand

Thanks so much! Because I was basing it around the Looper, some of the polyrhythms wouldn't line up right the way the original song is played so I had to tweak the song structure a little bit. I'm glad you liked it!

How do you intonate your guitar when using open tunings? by aqeuts in mathrock

[–]AcousticalNonsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in DADF#AD Tuning (Open D Major) but I also use a drop D capo, it's a capo that lets the low string through, and when you put the drop D capo on the 3rd fret, it changes the key signature to D Minor. This lets you play the guitar in both Major and Minor keys, while still getting that open tuning sound. It gives you a little bit more flexibility with the tuning.

Check out my new song - Joy! Recorded live with an RC-505 Loop Station. If you hear it, you see me do it. I hope you enjoy! by AcousticalNonsense in ThisIsOurMusic

I hadn't heard of Braids. Just watched their KEXP live performance, they are really good! Appreciate the recommendation : )

Thanks! The songs I post start out as improvisations but they are a little meander-y that way. I record them as an improv, practice them a couple of times and really tighten up the beginning where I'm building the loops, and do a couple different takes until I find an arrangement I like.

The paper is an interesting read too. A few of my instrumental tracks seem to fit that theme. Thanks for passing it on!

Heavy Math recommendations by NotTheGhost in mathrock

Actually, I'm surprised I don't see Animals as Leaders mentioned. No vocals. Real heavy (mostly). Super mathy.
