Post here what you are currently working on as a musician. Just finished recording the drums for the new song? Experimenting with unconventional scales? Did it go as you wanted or did it fail badly?

Yesterday I began to decrypt those nasty Gorguts songs, starting from Obscura. I got the first two riffs down. They are in natural F minor, minor second and major sixth against the tonic appear couple of times but otherwise they're quite strictly in the key. The harmonization is what makes the music sound the way it sounds. You couldn't know how much dissonance lies within a such tame sounding scale if you didn't know how to harness it. These are the harmonized scale degrees in the opening riff, there are no chords so this isn't really a chord progression. Voice leading is a more suitable term.

I
flat VII
V
II
flat VII
IV
V
flat III

Second thing I observed is that the harmony spreads out a lot. Once you invert the dyads and collapse the riffs down you'll be like "Oh I found some minor triads" The tapping lead and the monster riff are a whole new thing to tackle. I already know the latter utilizes quartal harmony but chromatic leads with a backing riff like the one in the song are crazy.

Your turn!
