Okay I was bored to shit in school the other day, so I whipped out my phone and got onto got-djent, and read a few articles. Most were the generic debates over different artists and such, but one thread really caught my interest.
So apparently for a while now some djent-prog (and other genres) artists have been using numerical sequences and constants for polyrhthyms in their music.
The first one I read about was from after the burial and their song "Pi: the mercury god of infinity." So i went and and listened to it and I discovered something intriguing (so here's a link) After The Burial - Pi (The Mercury God Of Infinity) 2011 Extended Mix - YouTube
So with that piece they used Pi. Pretty strange but cool, but there was only one note being repeated by the guitar. So later that day I went to class and asked my teacher if he ever dealt with polyrhthyms and all that business with Pi and stuff. He responded by pulling up 10,000 days by tool on YouTube.
So at this point I'm listening and trying to follow the rythym and I'm like "holy shit, this band is f*cking cool."
Link btw
Tool - 10 000 days (pt 2) - YouTube
So apparently musicians can use sequences like Pi and the fibbonaci sequence to write songs. So as musicians yourselves I challenge you to write some nasty polyrhthyms that follow sequences like these and show em off here, just for the sake of it being fing cool
