Working The Paradigm Shift (by The Prodigal Sounds)

[Colin Nicholls]

Hi folks.

My band's new album was released today, and to celebrate I uploaded a studio "play through" video of one of the tracks:

YouTube: Working the Paradigm Shift (single edit)

The track was created using Cakewalk By Bandlab.

Enjoy!

Colin, this is one of the very best songs I've heard in a while.  Great video to go with the sound track.  No crits, just praise!  I'll be back.

I'm with Lynn on this one; couldn't have said it better myself.

Colin, just wow - awesome? I absolutely loved every second of that.

Shades of Dance On A Volcano with all that staccato (I hope you don't mind the reference).

Fantastic chops all round - link to the album please, where can I hear more?

Absolutely top draw.

Nice tune!  The conceptual interplay between the text ("paradigm shift") and shifting phrase lengths is a cool feature--lyrics and music playing off each other with multiple meanings!  Excellent!

[Colin Nicholls]

Ha, you guys are very insightful... or perhaps I'm just obvious. Correct about the influences and the intentional beat slippage in the choruses.

Seeing as you asked, @AndyB01, here are some links:

Cheeky poly-rhythms, nicely played and produced, nothing to crit here, thanks for sharing.

Boy, you guys are good 'bout all I can say.
Enjoyed the video too.

Are y'all math teachers?!  :D:D  Great performances.  Who's singing though?

@David Sprouse, I'm singing on my tracks. I'm not singing on any of the other math teacher's tracks.

Uh, it's great and I agree with all of the above, plus the vid is very watchable!

But I kept trippin' on that bass . . . I really studied it, haven't seen that style before, and would love to play one!!!

 

Let's not overlook the general guitar sluttiness of this work. Lots of cool axes!!!

 

want a crit? OK, your studio is far too clean to be real. 

 

cheers,

@emeraldsoul, multi-scale (or "fanned-fret") basses are totally a thing, to balance string tension across the string courses. The patent on them was protected for a while but that ceased to be a problem at some point. Dingwall are probably the most well-known manufacturer these days, but other companies are catching up.

I think I remember this song from a little while ago?    If so, then the video made it all that much cooler!   Y'all can play.    Really love this genre.
