    I saw Sungazer last night in San Francisco and it was over-the-top FANTASTIC! Four awesome musicians, terrific music. Not just awesome chops (like for example, the Aristocrats), it was super musical and easy to listen to. The cover of Weather Report's Palladium was one of many highlights. Thank you!!!!!

    0:31 So many musicians outside certain genres hardly go into sound design... It can make corny chords sound amazing. It's not like you guys are going Noisa levels of crazy or anything, but I always love that you guys switch it up with the timbre.
    I've been obsessed with building big chords from sine waves, roughly following the pattern of increasing density seen in the harmonic series, then filtering etc. those in much the same way you'd treat a monophonic bass sound, I'd love to hear you do that.
    I was WAY into deep Dubstep back in the day, and what always stood out to me were the synths where certain partials become tonal.
    They did that in some crazy complex ways I still love, but one day it just occurred to me I can just stack sines in whatever tuning system I want.
    Warning, though, you will become more and more sensitive to hearing distinct partials, the lower overtones of bass sounds don't even have to be very resonant. It's a very strange blurry line between timbre and harmony, I wish it was explored more.

    @MrMurkosullivan Місяць тому +88

    Ok... As a long time musician (who is terrible at sight reading) this edit with notation is allowing me to enjoy the Sungazer music SO much more.
    With many of the newer aural textures, and blend with other instruments I personally find it hard to really discern some of the harmonic and rhythmic information of a particular instrument. This Rocks.
    Also. Adam. I know it's a cliche, but so many of the basslines truly 'sing,' to me. The emotive vocal-like phrasing hits hard.

    There is so much to say here:
    Those 16th note runs are all so clean. Just art in motion.
    On top of that it's all fabulously musical. The phrases take time to breathe and where they land and pick up with the chord changes is also just out of this world good.
    The timing in the end section is (to me) is a MONSTER of a part.
    Kudos. Looking forward to seeing you in Burlington VT on the 17th.
