Tracking Bass for the song 'Ki'

[OisinMcGoldrick]

Loving Contact in the background :D sagan-age!

[Supertaco117]

that last part reminds me a bit of the techno bit of mighty masturbator. then again, most things do nowadays.

[noleafclover2200]

I love you, Devin

[DeathGenePillow]

At my University Halls, this is my favorite form of revenge if flat mates keep me awake at night/annoy me; VERY loud, very unusual bass jamming at strange hours of the night.

[StefanPetrucci]

By far the most serious, intimidating and soul-shivering musical harmony I've heard in a few years...

[Andinator]

oh great dev you uploaded a screamer, i'm terrified now.

[AstraVex]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WEEEEEEEEEEE

FAAAALLLLLLLLL

OOOOOON

WAAAAAAAAAAAARM

poop :)

[mangosnake]

1:59 : this is what happens when you record something so epic.

You just crash down and reverse to something like that.

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@mangosnake revert?

[bleifingerT]

what the heck is he watching there? xD

[kikarias79]

@bleifingerT "CONTACT"

[clubfootforyou]

Contact and Dev= Perfect!

[KaliumMusic]

Devin Townsend, you are a strange, strange man.

Epicly funny and awesome, but very, very strange.

[thelumptube]

2:00  WHAT. THE. FUCK?

[Niallphillips]

the description reads 'being loud and annoying' it disgusts me how great these guys are

[BlackLabelBob]

Evil Genius

[AcousticMinja]

putting music to movies?!!!?

[Edd731]

So we fall on warm silence. I know, yes, I know we all go away.........amazing.

[Edd731]

This is one my fave songs and this bit in the song made my hair stand up. Its so epic and LOUD! Contact is a great flick too.

To gaia to gaia to gaia....

[AlienOnTheEarth]

Fangatalamorethanfunkynasticbu­llingfuckingzobortastic!

O_o

[newfoundationband]

what a good movie in the background. it really fits the feel of the tune. sounds like you're "OK to go!" ;)

[Wyndojo]

You're the man Jean!! I'm so envious that you worked with Devin. I've been a huge fan of that man for a long time, and it's about time he got a deadly bassist ;)

[guitarplayer222333]

just to let you know, dev played the fretless bass on the album.

this is devin.

[jeansbass]

@Wyndojo thanks man...working with Dev was fantastic.He is such an amazing cat..always looking for something that was never done...no rules...

[powaviolenza]

this video is fucking EPIC. Oh yeah and, fucking "Contact" on the TV !!

[SSHGL]

gotta tell you, this video looks like dev was right in the middle of quite possibly the most epic recording studio session ever.

[chucknorris78945]

Is that Dev playing bass? Oh, and anyone know when the next album is dropping? Ki is amazing and cant wait to get my hands on the others.

[ShatteredKill]

in july

[TrippedXD]

This is my favorite part of the whole album. I feel like the begining of the album up until this part in Ki was just build up. As opposed to this feeling like a "release" it felt more like an acceptance.

Absolutely beautiful.

[arheru]

Very well said! I've always felt like Devy at his best makes me relax more than any yoga excerise because of just having to succumb and accept. To me, putting words to his sound would be to say "cradle of sound". Over and out. =)

[misspiercings]

Are they Genelecs?

[c9chord]

lol fucked that one up. Credits say he played fretless bass on the album.

[c9chord]

Credits say h

[7ai5han]

Reason why I like this loud version: it reminds me of the finale of Close Encounters when they are communicating with music.

The finale of this video cracks me up! :)

Ki gets better and better upon repeated listens.

[7ai5han]

Ki -- the song and the album -- is pure, smoldering, simmering, wondrous, and awesome.

I gotta admit I like the "loud", "annoying" version too! :)

[beerzelbub]

He uses samples from contact in his hummer album aswell!weird!!

[Vincere]

HAHA that end part, (well the entire thing too) rocked!! Love Devin townsend!!!

[Link10893]

Watching this a second time made me notice that Contact playing on the television.

[Link10893]

Watching you do your thing was beyond words.

And the end was epic.

[Jaymz515]

0:00 - 1:59 - Epic.

1:59 - 2:16 - Wat?

Epic.

[Ryle382]

This song reminds me epic part form Ziltoid-#By your command ; progressive mindfucking ( IMHO)

Drugged to his Music

[RolandDeschain1]

Epic. Breath-taking.

Pure Devy.

[bokma7]

I was just loving it getting into it and then the end part with him dance.. HAHAHAHAHA

[playgroundslug]

i love how its all sync'd up with the huge splash on the screen.

[ch847]

That's Contact, right, Dev? The movie I mean. Great one... One of my favorites.

[Griffith101]

Epic!

[johrizz]

Yes, this really really sounds a lot like Ziltoid, good thing :)

[squancho666]

this part sounds a lot like Ziltoid, which is indeed awesome, I loved Ziltoid, but the rest of Ki is very different from Ziltoid. Infact, it's really different from anything he's done previously.

[ouodo]

Thank you for putting this back up. It's brilliant, it really is.

[drews]

He is one of the people I can just call "art"

[VanPiorsing]

I can't stop watching this clip. The music overwhelming and so beautiful.

Jodie Foster has written Dev's music all over her face. Perfect sync, perfect harmony, just big fuckin WOW !

Devin is back, people... and he's from another planet !

Let's play it, again...

[Ibanose]

This is really crazy,the first time I listend to Hummer Contact was the movie I thought of-I never new that you actually use it for inspiration.

Maybe this is what people call art,Dev!I love your music!!!Keep on!

[ClimbingOnRoofs]

Maybe you knew this, but if you listen to The Hummer there actually is a section where he samples the Contact soundtrack.

[Fettman8]

Contact!

[mishukk78]

"Ki" in georgian means "yes" :)

[SSHGL]

it sounds nothing like ziltoid. it sounds so much more epic and grandiose in scale then any part in ziltoid. maybe you're referring to the arpeggio?

[oideroid]

I agree that it's not too much like Ziltoid, but I can see how the arpeggios would make someone want to compare it to Ziltoid.

Can't complain though. the arpeggios at the end of "Colour your world" were one of the things that I really liked about Ziltoid.

[SupraKarma]

Of course it does. It's got that speed space metal vibe going on. Besides the obvious arpeggios. From all of Devin's music, this bit could fit right in the Ziltoid album like a glove.

[SupraKarma]

It's pleasant, but it sounds too much like Ziltoid.

[metalicsnake]

my god!!!!!

this is amazing!!!

[gitrplaya4u]

1:30 listen to music; it matches the movie

[StellaCart]

Pretty sure it is Contact in the background. I'm not sure about the toilet section.....but I guess it was almost inevitable with Dev! At least his meatballs weren't in this one.

[armagnis]

Been a fan of your music for a good 2 years. Dude, I praise the sounds. Look forward to what is to come.

[VanPiorsing]

Devin reaching new levels of his genius. This is cosmos !

It has everything what I wanted from his music and it's only a tiny clip... holy fuck.

The new albums will be a very big and deep experience for his fans.

[entva3]

The end cracked me up! :D Crying from laughter.

Dev's the man when it comes to changing moods.

[wosko]

jammin to some ki watchin some contact. thats how us canadians roll

[Tyroshai]

sounds absolutely fucking amazing!

[standardbearer]

What the hell is he watching???

XD

[mandragonaut]

Seems to be "Contact" with Jodie Foster...good movie actually. Carl Sagan was awesome.

[Jack8the8Ripper]

hell yeah sagan was the man

[adrianvdb]

I love it. I can't wait for KI man! my left eye will start to tingle for it.

[ZeeKat]

It's loud for sure, but I'm not annoyed in a slightest bit.

[doomsdayreaper19]

sounds awesome. and omg the ending... made my life.

[psykolstic]

Holy shit! Watch the splash on the screen at 1:32...a perfect, rhythmical fit!  Unbelievable music...its like a metal infused Bach composition...LOVE IT!!!

[SSHGL]

Glad I;m not the only one who noticed that! lol

[zomgz932]

lol at dev's ending

and also if thats actual samples from the song ki im in love.

[shitzombie]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release this soon.

[L1NCHP1N]

That's cool that you put DVDs on for while you're tracking, Dev. "Contact" rules.

lol @ end of video

[emeishanmusic]

that was sweeeeeeeet!

LOL at the ending

[gitrplaya4u]

would that be a fretless?

[Deathcom7000]

Devin... please tell me you wrote the music at the end, and it's going to be on Ki!

[JosephVonKrain]

i feel so much of what fluffydrummer's just said, i'd be fluffydrummer

[jormamolo]

dont tell me THE DEVSTER dropped his hair ;o!

[BenTigre]

Yeah he did that a long while ago

[CaptainAqua]

Yep, 'fraid so.

Maybe there's a reward if we find it? :P

[Fluffydrummer]

I... Have never been more in love with an ending.

[CaptainAqua]

Whoa. I opened up the page and it was an awesome assult of noise.

Good stuff! :D

[PoopTart]

WHOA.

[Liampieee]

Amazing! The last seconds are brilliant. :D

[wosko]
