This band is from Argentina.. they formed in 1994 and this album was realised in 1998... don't you think that they have some Djent sounds? or maybe I'm confused... ?

This is definitely djent sounding.
Djenty polyrhythmic riffing + layering with various synths + scream/growl/emo metal vocals = djent? What do you guys think about this equation?

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Sep 11 2011, 12:25 PM)  Well it's close enough, but there's more to it I see it as much more than a mix of elements...it's a certain state of mind, or maybe I like it too much? Who knows  You do like it too much, and because you do, it's your duty to explain us JK, what would be that state of mind, it would be cool to explore different opinions on this one

Hey guys, let's analyze one song while we're on the topic!
Frankie asked me to assist him in analyzing the Chimp Spanners (Paul Ortiz) song Bad Code. It's a young fellow musician from UK that does Djent as a solo project, this is one of the instrumentals: We exchanged some info about it back and fourth, and here's some of the useful hints about the instrumental that can potentially be useful for members wondering about Djent elements: Ortiz created a djent-style/math metal style progressive composition here that relies on layering for creating fuller composition, and dissonance to create tension. It's fairly complicated piece with lots of additional elements added, but I can give you some guidelines on how to approach this instrumental. In general it's simple. He is using C# as an anchor point for this song. C# is the 5th note of the F# harmonic minor scale. C# creates a phrygian-dominant mode, and I believe the song is based on this mode, as on the harmonies from F# harmonic minor. The solo itself relies heavily on C# phrygian dominant, here's the pattern (this is F# harmonic minor, but just keep the C# in focus and you'll get C# phrygian dominant)  If you play the song and run through this mode, you will hear the proper in-key match. He doesn't change keys, but uses fixed F# harmonic minor, only changing voicings within the scale. However, during the song, riffing, clean harmonies, fills and the solo, he relies here and there on chromatic passages, and dissonant intervals in order to create tension. I believe this was very detailed improvisational composition, not sure if he knew what he was doing, but just picked notes that sounded more "strange" and "dissonant". In that sense, he did a very good job of it, it does has that atmosphere, and the voicings are fit together very nicely. For the soloing there are also lots of jumps from one octave to another, big interval jumps, which create contrast, which is another important thing to consider. For this song, he used 8-string guitar with standard tuning, and two bass strings added. So the tuning is: E B G D A E B } two thickes strings Gb } What you can do is try to play it on a 7 string with standard tuning. For this song I played a 6-string guitar with drop C# tuning, like this: D# A# F# C# G# C# This tuning is suitable for both riffing and soloing for this song, as you can nail the C# powerchord on the lowest bass strings, and C# has the most focus in the song, so it's good to have it for djenty riffing. Let's try to see what other opinions we can spark on this song. What do you guys think? Or we can perhaps analyze some other compositions. Would like to hear Cosmins opionion on this one too! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
