Diffracting Thought
Canada
Приєднався 3 тра 2011
Modern metal meets post-rock and electronic influences, all underscoring memorable toplines. Diffracting Thought is a progressive metalcore band self-produced by Alex Shahviri (Toronto, ON). The newest single, "Failing Light" (feat. Never Known), is out now on all major digital platforms.
ERRA - Past Life Persona (Vocal Cover)
I really like ERRA's new album, "Cure," so here's the first of maybe a few vocal covers. One of their more simple tracks from the new album, but executed and produced really well. It was fun playing around with lots of vocal effects in this one.

TesseracT - Tender (Vocal Cover)
Переглядів 7968 місяців тому
I think this may be the most underrated song off of TesseracT's "War of Being." The track starts off delicately and then comes to a powerful crescendo. Huge stacks of harmonies on this one were difficult to discern, but I did my best. Surprisingly difficult. Made a little animation in Blender for the background because there was no footage associated with this one. If you liked this cover, you ...
TesseracT - Legion (Vocal Cover)

This track is Dan Tompkins putting on a masterclass and probably my favourite vocal performance he's ever given. Really humbling attempting this one. The new album is amazing and I'm incredibly excited to see them in Toronto later this month.

This new TesseracT track took a few listens to understand and way more to actually learn. From the harmonies, time signatures, phrasing and melodies to just the sheer length, this was a tough one. I really love "War of Being" now and am extremely excited for the new album to come out! Used the wonderful cover by @joaoldmedeiros and supplemented it with an AI instrumental.

Periphery - Thanks Nobuo (Vocal Cover)
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
One last Periphery cover from the new album before I move onto some other bands. This song has really grown on me as I've listened to the album and that reverse reverb section at the end is gorgeous. I only took the lead melody and counterpoint this time; harmonies are almost all from the stem pack. On my monitor, I colour corrected an animation made by @christianpratt6681 .

Periphery - Wax Wings (Vocal Cover)
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
The new Periphery album is phenomenal and "Wax Wings" might actually be one of my favourite songs they've ever composed. Love at first listen, I knew I wanted to give a cover a shot. Used the instrumental from the stem pack for this one so this one's all me, including harmonies and counterpoint. On my monitor, I colour corrected an animation made by @christianpratt6681 .

Periphery - Atropos (Vocal Cover)
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Рік тому
This is my favourite of the singles that Periphery has released from their upcoming album, "Periphery V: Djent is Not a Genre." Really focused on improving my screams on this one and I think they're coming along. No official instrumental, so I just mid/side EQ'd out Spencer as much as I could. On my monitor, I colour corrected an animation made by @christianpratt6681 . If you liked this cover, ...
The Midnight - Brooklyn (Vocal Cover)
Переглядів 562Рік тому
Another change of pace with this synth pop cover. I can't remember how I found The Midnight, but I remember listening to "Monsters" in its entirety on repeat. The entire album is phenomenal but "Brooklyn" is definitely my favourite; romanticizing living in the borough and struggling to get by in the big city with a partner.

The Last of Us (HBO) - Intro Theme (Fan-Made)
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
Here's a change of pace with an original theme I wrote and video I edited. The Last of Us is one of my favourite games because of the atmosphere, story and wonderful characters. I'm very excited for the TV series and hope it lives up to the source material. In addition to writing this original theme song, I took selects from the art book and animated them in varying ways to add more dimension t...
Periphery - Mile Zero (Vocal Cover)
Переглядів 600Рік тому
@Periphery has been so prolific with their discography, but here's one of my favourites off of their second album which definitely has my favourite guest solo from Wes Hauch. No official instrumental so this is a combination of a Spleeter vocal-removed track as well as an amazing cover by @joaoldmedeiros. On my monitor, I colour corrected an animation made by @christianpratt6681. If you liked t...

One more Good Tiger cover while we wait for the new album. "1252" is one of the more chill tracks from "Raised in a Doomsday Cult" and has a wonderful vibe to it. Hope you enjoy.

One more ERRA cover to celebrate their return to Toronto. They were awesome at Velvet Underground last month. Electric Twilight is such a fun track from their self-titled and I hope they add it to a future setlist.

Nice work mate. Do some Karnivool. I'll boost your veiws.
Thanks, man! I haven't listened to them much, but I'll throw on some albums and give them a listen.
@@DiffractingThought Listen to Sound awake. Where are you from.?
@matt355 I'm from Toronto and thanks for the reco, will do!
Wow, totally nailed it!
Thank you, man!
Good lord 👍
Haha, thanks!
the best cover. keep going bro, your time is coming !
Thank you! Just gonna keep plugging away =)
crushed. well done. why doesn't this have thousands more views? You deserve it. Stay awesome.
Thanks so much, man! I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and maybe one day =)
That was fucking sick nice job dude
Thanks very much! Hopefully they'll play this song live on their next tour!
yo, found this looking for a lyric video bc this song speaks to me so well, and you fucking nailed it - great job, man
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah, it's one of my favourites on the new album!
Holy shit bhai, I had no idea you covered this too. Came here from your Legion video. Phenomenal vocal control, keep pumping out these covers!
Haha, thanks so much man! Yeah, huge TesseracT fan so I'd love to do some more covers in the future!
Although this definitely fits better with the song, I wish you cranked your vocals up. Then I can here more of your hard work and talent;)
Thank you! I think some of my more recent covers have the vocals a bit more up front, but still trying to improve my mixing.
Incredible vocal control man! You crushed that
Thanks, man! Love the contrast in this track and had fun trying to pick out the subtleties.
Absolutely hit the spot with with the vocals bro.. Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks, man. Appreciate it 🙏
Great Job 👍
Thanks, Paul!
You're giving it a more melancholic vibe, great job mate
Tried my best to imitate Dan, so it's interesting that it came across more melancholic to you. I guess that's one of the differences of our voices in this context. Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DiffractingThought It feels authentic, you got Dan's notes but your voice has its signature on it, maybe reflected a personal story. Cheers from Egypt bro, you got a new fan
@L.K.Z.K I can see that, appreciate your perspective! So cool to reach people from around the world, thanks for the kind words!
Impressive
Thank you!
Good job brother 👌🏻
Thank you!
Can you do a video how you record and mix your covers
Video is pretty simple, I'm just setting up a camera and two lights. Mixing, I don't know if you want my advice, I'm not very good haha
so good bro, glad i discovered this channel.
Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. Tell your friends, haha
so awesome. such a great cover.
Thanks so much for listening and glad you enjoyed it!
Dude! This is amazing!!! Super kudos!!! Keep at it!
Thanks so much for the kind words, will do!
Im like nice cover 🙌🏽
Thank you!
You’re awesome dude 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, man!
I never heard an original song, but your cover sounds very cool!
Thank you! ERRA is awesome, you should definitely check them out!
@@DiffractingThought I will check :)
Nice singing!!
Thanks, Rick!
Outstanding performance.
Thanks so much!
i associate this with someone special XD
Aww, that's too bad, but I think most can relate haha
Amazing Bro 😮❤
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
respect !!!
Thank you!
Nice work, man! Really badass cover! It's my favorite from the album and i don't understand how it doesn't get so much attention.
Thank you! It's got a long lead in and is pretty chill, so I think the more in-your-face tracks get more attention.
Brought a tear to my eye. These harmonies kill me! Perfect execution and great range. Maybe collab sometime?
Ashe writes some beautiful melodies. And thanks - hmu if you have something in mind and I'll see if I have time and am a good fit.
Amazing ❤
Thank you!
Goosebumps ✅
Thank you!
brought the same tears to my eyes as Dan... thanks for this
Thank you! A testament to how well written this track is!
Dude this was absolutely insane, you must have escaped from the same laboratory Tompkins was created in This song feels like it was intentionally made to be impossible for anyone other than Dan If so, they have failed hard, you've completely crushed it, congrats
Haha, that's a funny compliment - thanks! Dan's such an incredible talent and I'm happy you felt I did him some justice.
@@DiffractingThought I forgot to ask: Do you know of the band Skyharbor, and if you do, ever thought about doing a cover of their songs? If you never heard of them, Dan was their singer for the first 2 albums, peak progressive metal stuff, more dreamy and more clean vocals but insane riffs, check out their song (or album) Guiding Lights, some parts of Legion remind me of it, I think you would like it
@@krobzzzzoh, I love Skyharbor! Been listening to them since Blinding White Noise. I did a not-so-great cover of Catharsis way back when. Maybe I'll try a cover of one of their songs at some point! So many tracks to choose from.
@@DiffractingThought Please do Maeva or Celestial. I would love to hear that :)
@@WFangW love both those tracks! Maybe I'll give them a try at some point, thanks for the reco!
Insane execution!! Absolutely brilliant. Send it to Dan, he'll love it!
Thanks! I posted it to a FB group of his but, if he has seen it, he hasn't commented. Maybe he doesn't love it haha
This is beautiful!
Thank you!
Dude. Impressive AF! Control, power, delicacy, style.. Hope you're proud of yourself, mad good performance bro
Thank you! I'm pretty hard on myself, so I really appreciate your comment.
You're awesome
That's very kind, thank you!
It's a stunning song! It's my favorite.
Absolutely! TesseracT has always handled dynamics with class, and this might be one of their best showings in that regard.
Fucking awesome.
Thanks so much!
is tje I bind you lyric a false cord or fry? tyty also beautiful cover man 🙏🙏
Thank you! I did false cord for that section.
My two fav songs of this album, tender and sirens. Nice voice, great job my friend. I Will see them on Barcelona this saturday!! 1st time!
Yeah, the entire album is fantastic. Thank you and hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you! @@DiffractingThought
Dude how can this be true? Me too!!!
A very difficult song to sing or cover. Kudos for the attempt brother
Thanks, man!
