BLOTTED SCIENCE - 'Cretaceous Chasm' in 12-Tone Fragments

[IntoTheStorm]

Should be illegal to be that good

[abadonslipknot]

geometric music ! awasome!

[ATMOSPH33R]

well thats probably the hardest way to write songs ever! :L

[SeanStephensen]

@ATMOSPH33R and they have to be syncing it up to movie clips at the same time! 2 tasks that are independently very difficult. Ron is a genious

[linsk78]

That is so sick!

[mattz1010]

This reminds me a lot of Kreuzspiel - you don't follow just the tone row, you play around with it a little. (well, a lot)

[Exoow]

Everything about this video is genius.

[stopglobalswarming]

It's like Dream theatre without the annoying singer, and 10 x heavier on guitar and bass.

[melodeathmatt]

@stopglobalswarming So...not really like DT at all then :/. More like a instrumental Obscura, especially Omnivium territory

[DethThrasher1]

@melodeathmatt yea except obscura suck dick

[TheR00ler]

@stopglobalswarming

Its like no other band. (almost) Every band plays in a certain key. Ron doesnt

[stopglobalswarming]

Epilepsy never felt so good.

[joshrochanroolzutoob]

"Basic guitar tracks"

My arese they're basic!

[sierramister123]

More amazing than his playing, how did he get the notes to light up as he plays them, thats just pure insanity.

[mpeskett]

How did I get here from Alternate Reality?

[Andyw1228]

Sorry, I made some unexcusable mistakes...his Name is Ron- of course.

[Andyw1228]

The drimming is so amazing- awesome! And Jason is one of the best and most underestimated guitarists in the World. I saw him with Wathctower 15 Years ago and he was yet brilliant then.

[intestineswallower]

Thanks for uploading the tab it is a really cool thing to do and the song is righteous too!

[AnimalFactory99]

I assploded all over my chair watching this.

[Jphthe2]

This is just a fucked up video.

[kurukq]

hes makes it very technical by simplifying it

[amjan]

I fioud this video extremely easy to masturbate to.

[JBustacara]

Ron is a great musician, no doubt about it!

[sexypoulpe]

Haha he speaks exactly like Bobby ^^

[markogeeko]

...Or you can just be talented enough to write your own music that changes up without having to decode some retarded math problem

[LunarLionheart]

@markogeeko He is talented enough to do that, and has done. It's called innovation. I've heard enough of the bog standard progressions, this is breaking new ground, even though 12 tone systems were always around, it's a refreshing use of them

[cattheanarchist]

@markogeeko

Personally, I would call Ron Jarzombek one of the most talented musicians alive today.  Where is all your amazing music?

[zzzzzz69]

@markogeeko even if you don't like what he's doing, calling him not talented enough is fucking dumb.

[Siah2000]

interesting way of putting it, but couldn't you also say that this song is just one big chromatic scale lick?

[bitskyjgd]

tonal. not 12 tone.

[sbguit]

Thank you

[trenticle]

Hell, its easy when you break it down like that! :-)

[neilprestemon]

. . . so; basically: those who are familiar with a fretboard, tend to think of composition in terms of interesting patterns of notes. Often that's the sound of the notes - sometimes, we do it visually, based on the shape it makes on the fretboard.

What this "theory" is saying, is that you can also make an interesting composition, by arranging the notes into a circle, and playing them according to their visual/spacial relationship in the circle.

That's all.

[LIPCoelho20]

@neilprestemon thanks for the explanation neilprestemon. but please tell me, how does Ron organize the note-clock? does he put notes at random and then selects each 4 an 6-note groups from it? thanks

[devvilboyy676767]

@LIPCoelho20 I've always asked my self the same question and how does he arrange the note duration?

[TheStevinicus]

Blotted Science uses confusion!

You are now confused!

You tried using comprehend but hurt yourself in confusion!

Fuckin' Zubats.

[certifiedpet]

I dont even play guitar and this is insane

[captainfarktard]

Notice at min1:07 how this reeks of Iommi... Any coincidence that is BROWN? I KNEW it. This is the brown noise. This my friends is the science behind the brown noise.

[arsehole420]

i was watching the dial more than ron.

[yahirave]

Amazing !!!

/,,/

Brutal!!! Brutal!!!

[WizMystery]

When making up a clock do you have a set scheme in mind? This one is m2 heavy. I've tried using it and just pick notes at random but it hasn't really worked out as good as I would have hoped.  Maybe I'm too conscious about stealing your style or something.

Also I really want that DVD.

[Slayereyez]

that tone is the truth. its as if every riff is badass in its own right no filler all killer the guys sweep tech is redickalis id love to see there sound set up

[xOktavariuMx]

Ron Jarzombek is the onlyone better than Asians.

[TheEvilsocky]

@xOktavariuMx Don't forget, Alex Webster apparently gets this stuff too

[asqueezeoflemon]

What a great song. I'm going to learn this song. First comment!

[hERDoFBAND]

@asqueezeoflemon

Me Too!
