Killer Interludes (Pt. I)

One of the things I enjoy the most in songs is interesting and unexpected interludes in the middle of them. This kind of interludes usually doesn't have solos, it's more about the unusual structure of it, the sequence of riffs or variations of themes or melodies. Here are some good examples of that.

Epica - Sancta Terra

I find the small interlude going from 3:17 to 3:57 great and fun. It has a great melody at the begining and then repeting at the end with a little bridge in between. It sounds straight-forward at first but when one tries to count to it, the different time signatures are evident. There are some 3/4 and 2/4 put here and there, here is the structure:

Mastodon - March Of The Fire Ants

I realize that I'm crazy about this type of sections in music with this song. The section going from 2:27 to 4:12 is awesome, it's half in 4/4 and half in 3/4, there are some intersting harmonies between both guitars (something that Mastodon would perfect in the following records). Besides, the song is low, the 6 strings guitars are tuned to A.

Dream Theater - Glass Prison

Of course, I had to put something from Dream Theater. This was one of the first songs with an interlude like this I'm talking about. The section goes from 11:10 to 12:49. It's a frantic, non-lineal insane sequence of interwined riffs, it's tripping! 

This is back online!

This blog is back online, because I feel the need and urge to write again and because Maria asked me to do it again.

So, I hope to write on a regular basis again, I'll really try it. At least as much as my free time allows it.

So... this is the first entry of this new season in this blog. I will keep writing about Science, Music and my life. 

Paradise Lost

I will be a myth in your life
the pale ghost in your past,
our paradise lost in time

We may will be strangers someday soon, but beyond the surface we always will be bounded to each other, by the myth we create through the years and years. We will not be able to recognize each other in the future but by looking in each other's eyes, although this is not likely to happen anytime soon. Now it's almost time for me to go through the hardest part of the year, i hope i can make it.

I just want to be able to love again and not to be afraid to death of being myself. It's not so nice to realize that one is not able to open one's heart as always before.

... or maybe it's time to collapse the wave function of our reality and measure the state of our universe.

A long way to nowhere

Officially I've lost any will to live, i have never felt this depressed in my life, it seems that everything in my life sucks right now... I don't know how i get into this mess, i just know I'd be better dead.

I'd like things would better different, but everything I do takes me further from where I supossed to be... And the saddest part is that even dead the problems i made would keep the same way and worse.

I promised never say this again, what I've always felt: I hate myself!
