A friend just sent me this–it’s the beginning of I Write Sins Not Tragedies slowed down and layered over The Ballad of Mona Lisa. IDK who did this (if you do let me know), but it’s kind of fucking genius. And a little sad.
is there like a name for electronic music mixed with heavy metal that uses like glitchy noises and effects to break up the voice and make it sound like the disk itself is skipping etc because i love that whole aesthetic and i never know what to search
update: it is called glitch metal and i am a fool who makes words up in my head and then fails to google it because no one could ever come to the same conclusions as me /s
update: glitch metal is not what i was looking for, apparently, and kinda sucks to boot. why aren’t they putting seven hundred filters ont he guitar and having the vocals turn from screams to midi. what is this dubstep lite bullshit this isnt glitch this is just edm with heavy guitar
fuck me, but i might have to make my own fucking music at this rate. i dont even like making music or know how to do it but fucksake guess ill learn
seriously the LEAST they can do is hypercompress it on the beat to make it bounce. the L E A S T they can do is chop up the cymbal clashes like they do in regular dubstep and then feed it through a scream instead of just silence
fuck!! guess when i go home im asking my dad to teach me how to use his editing software
it has to look like this! its hard to make it look right because i cant get the texture right but like broken glass in squres
but thats what it should sound like! its not even hard to make i know how to do it i just dont know how to put it together for real but dudes guys i can tell you exactlyl what instrument and where
Here’s the music video! It starts with the singer-songwriter (in the role of a schoolteacher) explaining that he wrote a song that doesn’t mean anything in order to “develop the theme of incommunicability” because “today, in the world, we don’t understand each other anymore.” He explains that “prisencolinensinainciusol” means “universal love.”
