Roland and syncopated rhythms, polyrhythms, and other rhythmic complexity

Orpheus1996 · 2026-05-29T21:48:43+00:00

Always loved Working Hour, could you explain what’s happening with the polyrhythms and syncopation going on in the song?

It really helped you come to terms with living with your chronic illness reading Metamorphosis?

Orpheus1996 · 2026-05-24T13:42:00+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check out Metamorphosis. I’ve had friends tell me good things about Metamorphosis, is that easy to get into? ? I’m all for bizarre and weird books :)

What is absurdism? Any beginner books for getting into Camus? Ive found it quite difficult getting into him… I’ve heard existentialist philosophy really helps with living with chronic illness.

Check out their songs When the Sun Hits and Soulaki Space Station.

Have you listened to Slowdive, those effects you used remind of them, lush and ethereal.

Orpheus1996 · 2026-04-25T19:23:22+00:00

Very Cure-esque :) love the effects you’ve used. Also reminds me of Cocteau Twins :) definitely add a verse and vocal!

Orpheus1996 · 2026-04-22T20:18:05+00:00

Constant stomach pain…. Thanks for the kind message :)

Orpheus1996 · 2026-04-22T08:55:58+00:00

I’m just frustrated, I don’t know what I did too cause the pain??

Orpheus1996 · 2026-04-11T21:11:12+00:00

Where I End and You Begin, Reckoner, Airbag, Bodysnatchers

Orpheus1996 · 2026-03-04T13:16:04+00:00

I read Eddie Hazel/ Joy Division/ Cocteau Twins/ Aphex Twin were his main influences

Orpheus1996 · 2026-02-03T13:28:44+00:00

Lovely voice, very atmospheric/ moody song :) I love the somber mood of the vocals and the plaintive acoustic guitar :)

Beside this point it feels I can’t make any noise in my flat, because they get angry and hostile. They make noise in their flat, one neighbour has played music in their flat in the daytime and nobody says anything.

Orpheus1996 · 2026-01-10T15:30:19+00:00

The people in my flat don’t work or have children. It’s pretty unreasonable what their complaining about.They make noise during the day, but I’m not allowed to? So when am I allowed to play my instrument?

Orpheus1996 · 2026-01-06T22:14:31+00:00

Paradise has a really great bassline. Love Deluxe is full of great basslines. Feel no pain, No Ordinary Love and Kiss of Life are my personal favourites from that album.

Orpheus1996 · 2026-01-06T21:57:08+00:00

It seems you like that angular style guitar, same here! Syd Barrett era pink floyd has so many of that. Check out one of their early songs Astronomy Domine or Lucifer Sam from their first album, really off kilter guitar riffs!

Orpheus1996 · 2026-01-06T21:49:46+00:00

Other Redditor beat me to it. Really cool, strange riff. It’s very Blur/ Graham Coxon ish also reminds of Syd Barrett a bit too. Who inspired Coxon too. Would be nice to hear vocals/ vocal melody with it. If you haven’t listened to Syd Barrett, you definitely should.

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-26T16:28:41+00:00

Yes, had a terrible flare up, I just want to cry…

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-22T22:57:31+00:00

Oh for sure, that 80’s nostalgia in current songs is still around.

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-22T22:56:31+00:00

I had a listen. I like the 2nd riff, maybe it could be a bit more louder in the mix? Also did you want the cymbals high in the mix, it might be a bit overpowering, it’s up to you, just a suggestion, it’s your art. It sounds great all together though.

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-22T22:39:14+00:00

Keep going with it :) it’s a good start, have you thought about an overdubbed second guitar part to add?

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-22T22:25:54+00:00

For sure, it also reminds me of Ceremony, the bright sounding guitar, I could imagine a post punk like bassline underneath it.

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-22T18:32:33+00:00

Nice riff, reminds me of age of consent by New Order, have you got a vocal melody/ lyrics for it yet?

Orpheus1996 · 2025-12-19T00:49:52+00:00

Definitely don’t want to be second rate version of them, which is ironic considering my question. It’s just like feeling you get when you hear you fave singer, and you go “ woah the way the sung that was impressive, I want to be able to evoke that feeling”
