Came on autoplay while doing the dishes, thought for sure I was listening to a studio version of a song I hadn’t heard, see that it’s Plini live, brain implodes. God level musicianship wtf
The fact that Plini's pieces mostly sound improvised yet he manages to replicate them note for note live is just absolutely mindboggling. Definitely not the music for a casual listener, but the dreamy feel good vibe is aways there.
That's a pretty accurate description, the first Plini song that got me hooked was 'wombat astronaut' and that sounds so improvised, yet he plays in perfect unison with the synth and piano parts.
This may sound silly but I've recently realised the key to good improvisation is actually writing and repetition. You won't be able to play slick riffs like that in the moment until you can play them full stop. Once the technique is there and the flow kicks in, you end up with a mish-mash of all that you are as a musician (the only different is you won't know when it's happening until it happens). I'll bet some of this is purposely written, while other bits just fly out in the flow but then they get re-learned. It's kind of hard to describe the indescribable, but that's my best attempt!
I think it can go both ways. Most of the time I'd agree, you don't want to improvise techniques you don't have mastered, but other times, improving stuff out of left field can be how you create or learn new things. I just experienced it the other day. I was on vacation and hadn't played in 10 days. My feet were a bit sloppy, and my timing wasn't the best but I started throwing out these crazy fills and new things from no where and I kinda wish I recorded it now. Before that, I kind of was in a rut creatively on the drums. I was playing pretty well but my improv started to shit the bed
@@HugoStiglitz88 Yeah looking back on my comment, I wasn't entirely right. What you have said is also true. I have played some of my best stuff without even thinking about how I did it at the time. It's a magical feeling!
I think that Simon is the underappreciated bass players in current times. He stays out of the way when he needs to, and absolutely lays down the chops when he needs to flex his prowess. He is one of my favorite bass players of all time!
Three of the best prog songs to have ever be written! These songs triggers emotions in me as an adult, that died when I was a kid. Bravo Djents. I almost love these songs as much as life itself!
I love how instead of letting the notes ring out at 12:10 like they do on the album, they each stop them. Goes to show you just how tight and locked in they are as a band! WOOOW!!
Just want to say that while I don’t play Plini’s style of music at all, I love his tones so much that his was the first Neural DSP plug-in I ever bought
I own every DSP, and the plini is definitely the one i use the most myself. Lacks some of the "gimmicks" of the other dsps; but the three amps are such a wide range and cover basically anything. Nolly and SLO100 are monsters too if youre in the market for a 2nd one :)
Electric sunset is one of the most beautiful instrumental songs that I had ever listened in my entire life, the music has so much feeling but the story is the one that you choose to into those feelings and mine I can say it’s love, great job in every production, execution and composition.
Dude, I've been playing since I was 8 years old and I had a great career over three decades. This guy just makes me excited about music again. After what I've put myself through, I couldn't ever purchase, for any amount of money, inspiration.
I've been exposing my infant to your music since she was born and, though she can't quite verbalize it yet (she's about 10.5mo old), she does seem to quite like your music, especially this song! Which makes me happy, because I'm a HUGE fan of your music!!!!
Apart from Plini being amazing at what they do. The sound quality of this recording is next level. It's insane how much Live Music recording has improved.
yes that's what those digital units do, you can really create a mix ready sound and send this to recording while you play on a real amp for the show audience... I never understood the beef some people have with digital stuff, it sounds so great...
Thank you, Plini, for creating such a wonderful track. It takes me back to a time when I was facing challenges in life, reaching my lowest point. 'Electric Sunrise' played a crucial role in helping me persevere, inspiring me to keep pushing forward and ultimately choosing life. Your music has been a beacon of hope for me.
Good for you. Find your inspiration wherever you can. Life is precious, no matter what your circumstance. It's not supposed to be easy and happy all the time, hardship and sadness will happen to everyone. Be grateful and you will find that it is much better than being angry or envious, lost in this material world. There are people out there that can use your help now, look out for them and help them. Perhaps they don't know Plini, so introduce them. It might have the same effect for them.
Plini and the band always sound amazing but the sound engineer behind this video should also get an award! What an AMAZING production! My ears are blessed.
I lay there intending to sleep and was absolutely mesmerized by this. A lot of virtuosity, technique, elegance and power in each plini lead... impressive. The rest of the companions were incredible ❤️
6:59 listening to this on my iPhone 13 Pro via Koss Porta Pro headphones. The mixing is absolutely astonishing. The power of each individual voice is perfectly balanced. The clarity is unreal. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a live performance.
If there's a drumming style called sophisticated caveman, it's in Cascade. He beats those things into submission. But nothing sounds out of place. Hats off to Plini, who is one of the best composers I know today. His stuff careens and soars and doesn't always go where you expect - but it always feels perfect. These 3 pieces showcase the genius well.
I swear I watch this video at least once a week. The mix quality is just insane, and I love the little differences here from the album versions of the songs.
This song would be an epic CorOS 2.0 announcement…forreal though when I knew QC was good enough for Plini and Intervals I knew it was good enough for me and that makes me warm inside
If you're not finding new music that you love, you're not trying hard enough :-) I'm an old guy, too. Love the stuff you referenced above, but there's great music out there from every era, including this one. You just have to wade through the muck to find it.
Agreed. Just saw Plini last week at the Fine Line in Minneapolis, and the mix was like this, just about perfect. Tesseract Portals is also one of the best live mixes I've ever heard.
Holy epic meandering shit! The solo at the end of "I will tell you someday" gave me the most intense chills when he uses 2 strokes for the high fret cascades, next song cascade. neat.
Plini is incredible, whomever mixed this, did a phenomenal job!
That would be the gentleman with the bass, Mr Simon Grove.
Yeah the mix is unreal
@@jg043 it was him
Simon Grove is the mastermind behind the mix! That's the guy playing bass in the video
Better than the album, and that's saying something
"Warning: This video may potentially trigger seizures. Not because of the lights but because of the realization that the band sounds this good live."
😂spot on homie! Just saw em in SLC best show of my life! Got pics with all of em!

Bullshit…! What a lie … you just want to attract more people. Ooo, let’s watch the epileptic drop.

Simon Grove and Troy Wright!!! ABSOLUTE BEASTS
Unsung hero’s. So is Jake howsome lowe. He is a cleaner player than most of the bands he supports in my meaningless opinion.

It was my first too! Then Fortin Cali, Wong, Nolly, Petrucci, Henson, Rabea and Parallax. lol
Yes, me too. So inspiring.
TROY: MAN OF CONSITENCY AND DYNAMIC.
What an experience
Their bassist is absolute fantastic
They all are. Drummer is unbelievable too.
They’re all unreal. Just phenomenally talented musicians.
performance, editing, production, mixing, mastering, composition, just everything 1,000,000 out of 10 EASY!

Got damn this mix along with everyone's amazing playing makes for one of the best live proformances i've seen
Agree! These guys are so underrated! Not sure why they don’t sell out larger venues in America.
Mix was done by the Bassist Simon
The mix was as incredible as the performance! 👌🏼
Tesseract also has some amazing in studio performance too.
I saw him in Madrid when Handmade Cities album tour, and still one of the best performances ever seen by me live.
this is what a high-tech x high-budget studio will give you, perfect mixing
Man I am honored to even know people who know people who know these musicians. this is insane.
Plini and the band always sound amazing but the sound engineer behind this video should also get an award! What an AMAZING production! My ears are blessed.
Man he’s the first in a while to really make a guitar sing.
And make it look effortless
So good to see Simon back in action, so good to see a full rhythm section with keys. What an amazing production! Thanks for this treat!
Thank you!
Handmade Cities is really inspired and melodic. My favorite of theirs.
Great to see Troy back!
Troy back there tearing it up. Sounds amazing fellas, killer mix.
Oh is that a different drummer? He looks different but I didn't wanna assume
electric sunrise, i'll thell you someday and cascade, the holly trinity of plini's music.
Simon Grove is a master, this sounds phenomenal
new rendition of the song and plini is my new generation guitar hero.really you are my hero.
That bass sounds so good!!!!!!
Great to see Troy back with the band!
Holy smokes!!! This is totally amazing stuff. The drummer's foot is from another planet.
Unbelievably crisp and pristine playing and recording wow.
I LOVE the subtle ghost notes that Troy incorporates. Gives the song a groovier vibe!
Absolutely mind blowing. Been listening to Plini for years, but seeing and hearing it like this is otherworldly. Phenomenonal work, fellas.
So thankful that Plini exists. The music is incredible and this performance was awesome.
after all these years, listening to Cascade still gives me chills!! Amazing piece!!
What an incredible piece!!! I'm hearing so many techniques and influences from AL Di Meola to Vai and Beck. Extremely talented guitarist.
God this sounds soo HUGE! The syncopation is spot on and the tone is 😘. Shout out to the drummer for bringing the ENERGY!
What a work of art. Holy Mother!

It’s rare that I like a newer artist (Gen X here) but this group is REALLY good… ala Tool, Yes, Rush, ELP, king Crimson, Dream Theater… digging it!

One of the longest video on UA-cam I have watched without a pause ❤Plini ❤ love from Goa
These dudes are from another planet. I wish I was born there! x
Simon Grove is a genius…
I'll Tell You Someday touches me beyond words.
I've been obsessed with Plini ever since I came across them in 2019 can't get enough. Layers on layers :)
got the vinyl of this video the other night at his concert - amazing feels and gushy happiness !!
SO. DAMN. COOL.
This is the gnarliest set I’ve ever seen
Wait, this isn't a music video, its live?! But for real, as good as the band is, Simon Grove is a genius!
Oh, everything just hits so different in a live setting. Awesome session!
Love the freshness & heavyness combined! Great energy & creativity 🔥
I hope we get these to download on the QC app.
Saw him live last Friday. Was incredible. Flawless. His other guitar player was insane as well. He did some soloing and was amazing.
The tempo and the sound are incredible ! 💖🎸😊✨️
My passion in life within the past few years has been driven by these three songs. Soooo lit..
Always loved the anamorphic look! 👌👌👌
Plini+Troy+Simon=brutal. Crazy technique, feeling, punch... 10/10.
This is the best live mix and playing I've heard - ever?
Agreed. Just saw Plini last week at the Fine Line in Minneapolis, and the mix was like this, just about perfect. Tesseract Portals is also one of the best live mixes I've ever heard.
@@DavidDeverogood to see another Tesseract fan.
Just exciting when the drummer is Troy Wright 😎
Absolutely love Plinis music
What an incredible guitar and musician 🎸🎼👌👌👌👍😎
Plini, you couldn't have someone better than Mr. Wright for the drums, my man is the perfect option to this for years.
Makes my spine chill. Bring it on "the junior". Your brilliance is felt.
I'm glad to see Adam on drums and Simon on bass...
Troy Wright. Amazing
Amazing bro, electric sunrise, bring me flying to the sky..
The OG plini lineup is back baby! Good to see Troy back
Plini and Mr. Jake Howsam Lowe. Beasts!!!
Как всё отлично пояснено, для меня на данный момент - это лучшая связка, всё детально и по делу. Благодарю
I would dearly love to see Plini live. This helps. xoxo
One of the best instrumental guitar songs ever composed IMHO amazing! 💫⭐️
This made my morning epic af. Thanks
Great job to the lighting engineer too!
I just discovered this group today ... damn ... awesome material and stellar execution!
The fact that this was live is absolutely insane. It's tighter than a nun's ****.
First time experiencing this group. Phenomenal sound. Tight, clean, so refreshing. What talent!
Ditto!
Greetings from Poland. Plini, I wish you health and joy.
the way that tight snare POPS, UGH!!!!!!
tremendo Plini y los sonidos de la Quad cortex espectacular
Troy!!!!! This was amazing! Very glad a video came out! :)
Holy epic meandering shit! The solo at the end of "I will tell you someday" gave me the most intense chills when he uses 2 strokes for the high fret cascades, next song cascade. neat.
Look at Troy, so inspirational man
out of this world, excellent!! so original, love your tempos!!
While they are amazing musicians, the person who mixed this 🔥🔥
13:25 that final bass solo made me broke my neck
Por fin volvio la magia! Los esperamos en diciembre en buenos aires🙌🏻
Strikingly beautiful... as always! The inspiration is endless!! And hats off to NDSP for putting this beautiful show together.
Troy is my fav drummer for Plini.
Fantastic music!Plini💥🔥🙌
Out if this world. I love it. Dreamy and metal at the same time. And an awesome performance☺️🤟🏻
Thank you for this MV! It's amazing, I was in seizure mode, though I closed my eyes. I love everything about these 3 songs!
Any video with Troy is just mind blowing. As always, great work sir!
