Phase the Blood
December 18, 2023 4:49 PM
A Slayer-style riff played on one guitar and a version of that riff that has an extra half beat so that the two parts are not in phase, Steve Reich-style.
I put this together in response to the Fresh Pair Junto prompt, which asked for the combination of two (possibly disparate) strong influences.
I chose Slayer and Steve Reich. (A little background on my experience with these artists here.) The piece is a Slayer-style riff played on one guitar and a version of that riff that has an extra half beat so that the two parts are not in phase, Steve Reich-style.
I played two riffs, one of which is two 4/4 bars long and the other which is almost the same but it has a 4/4 bar and 9/8 bar. To avoid making one of the guitars sound like it’s right and like the other one doesn’t know what it’s doing, I put on two drum parts to go with each riff.

Awesome! I really like this. Phasing opens up so many possibilities, like the shimmer that happens around 0:36 to 0:41.
