Recently when I was reading about geeky guitar stuff I kept running across this word &#8220;djent&#8221; and got curious. It turns out is is an esteemed sound in this sort of bro-metal genre, like frat-dude-with-a-sideways-baseball-cap-at-a-keg party metal. It refers to the appropriate sound of the guitar : &#8220;dj-dj-dj-dj djent.&#8221; It obviously follows that he appropriate question to ask of all proper music is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5uD31YJkJj4\" target=\"_blank\">Does it Djent<\/a>?&#8221; Some of it is actually kinda cool, like this guy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QgRLLqYQh1Q\" target=\"_blank\">who made a djent guitar with only one giant piano wire string on it.<\/a> I tried to get the sound and found it was super easy and made flailing away at one or three notes sound really cool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Djent Kennedies&#8221;starts with my take on the death metal vocal howl. I always thought the vocals in death metal sounded like a cappuccino machine, so I did this thing called vocoding and crossed my distorted metal voice with the sound of a capuucino machine. I think I was right. I then wondered what would happen if brometal got in a soundclash with the Dead Kennedies, so the howl is followed by Djello&#8217;s response. Sorry Djents. Sorry Djello.<\/p>\n<p>Geek partbelow the soundcloud.<\/p>\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F263879708&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=true&show_comments=true&color=false&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Geek Part:<\/p>\n<p>The key to the sound is a gate that shuts off all the sound immediately upon the guitar going below a certain volume, making the stops sound way more accurate than they actually are. I should have tuned several octaves lower too, but made up for it with a bass synth. I then put the gates on everything else too, so everyone (i.e.me &amp;me) plays and stops together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had too much fun with this.
