Piano slides

guitar harmonization in solos, the kinda Iron Maiden style stuff, it just adds a whole new layer of epic
Eli Reed
Sloppy, but SUPER TIGHT drumming, think D'angelo or ?uestlove in general
Wyatt Gomez
Jack Parker
distorted, boc-ian pads
compression
lo-fi

Can you describe what a flashoulette is? Google is coming up empty. Is it the back and forth between fretted notes and harmonics?
Jonathan Hall
Whenever there's a long solo and then it all ties back into the main motif
youtube.com
Jason Peterson
The sound of crickets
Landon Taylor

him and Philip Glass
Aaron Allen
fug, can't think of anything right now
you guys please post examples though
Oliver Barnes
Rapping quickly in triplets
Isaiah Mitchell
mid fi- not trashed low fi, not super well produced. something like early pavement or a duster album
that shit gets me going
also double tracked guitars panned to each ear
Isaac Morales
Flute trills to emphasize an already-huge sound
youtube.com
Getting loud and crazy, then just dropping back to being quiet very suddenly, like what happens right at 4:57 of this song:
youtube.com
Joshua Young
youtube.com
Don't really care much for the song but something about the sound of the riff at 2:55-3:00 just tickles my fancy. Any other songs that do that sort of sound for longer than just a few seconds?
Landon Campbell
wind noises
I've used low pass filter white noise so much in my music its unhealthy
Dylan Roberts
Chopped and/or slowed down vocals.
John Jackson
The guitar pattern reminds me of the opening of Mew's Frengers:
youtu.be
The tone is like a lot of 90's rock. I can't put my finger on an example, though
Camden Cruz
I also love Animal Collective
Adrian Ward
I really picked some easily identifiable things didn't I
John Sanders
Adrian Barnes
Black and death metal where the vocals are a the forefront in terms of production.

Staccato rapping, especially when someone like DOOM does it out of nowhere like in Pot Holderz
Juan Perez
>tremolo picking
>gang vocals
>frank
Jordan Diaz
the amen break really turns me on in any song for some reason. youtube.com
Eli Torres
Dude i'm too high to listen to this, what have you done to me you do not know.
Have this completly unrelated song:
Daniel Anderson
When huge amounts of lo-fi stuff are smashed together with compression so everything blurs together, but pulled off well.
Aaron Hill
Most of the 60's psych cliches, echo and drawn out vocals. And harpsichord.
Christian Phillips
Oyeah I see where you're coming from, actually pretty similar.
And yeah, I feel like I've heard it loads of times elsewhere but can't think where
Oliver Wilson
Emo screams. Sometimes that already is enough for me to like something.
Jaxon Lee
Crash cymbal on 2nd beat
Bonus points for Chinese crash
Angel Turner
Obsenely boner inducing nigger fuck songs, like this:
youtube.com
Just get past the horrible voices [ads?titles?] at the very beggining.
Carter Brown
>Crash cymbal on 2nd beat
Ma nigga.
Chase Morales
>heavy shoegazy guitars that repeat a single riff
this is why I love Deftones
Easton Perez
earthmover?
Gabriel King
Glitchy vocals like this
youtu.be
Seconded, especially when it's a punk song switching to slow, heavy headbanging shit
James Phillips
I meant like samples and stuff. Especially when you can hear the background radio or tape fuzz being drawn out with the compression and rapidly fluctuating in volume or making crusty, crumpling noises.
Like in these tracks:
soundcloud.com
soundcloud.com
Landon Price
blastbeats, snare rolls and hat rolls
I like a lot of metal, jazz and rap
Nathaniel Morgan
Huge amounts of reverb on snares
Ridiculous amounts of compression in electronic music
Double-bass drum footwork in non-metal songs
Good harsh vocals in black metal
Liam Cook
Ian Anderson
When a shout sample is chopped rhythmicly over breaks a la Walls Could Talk from TPAB or Octoberfest by Hail Mart Mallon.
Jayden Hall
>Spector's Wall of Sound
>Reich-like minimalism
>birds call
Owen Powell
Kind of like this?

Close, what I'm thinking if is a bit more like a sustauned yell that cut in and out. This was really cool though, added to my wishlist.

harmonic tritones in the bass
Mason Robinson
Nathaniel Johnson
Gospel singing in a non-gospel song

>Suddenly everyone pausing for like a beat or two then coming back in full force
There's a lot of examples of this but this song is always the first that comes to mind: see the section starting around 0:45

>Gradually increasing in speed and/or intensity
my favorite examples of this:

I didn't want to post a thread, but man alive it's really bugging me. I'm looking for this town tempo beat, real sultry like.
I remember the music video, it was a fella with short dark hair, bearded, had a long coat on. The bird (I think she's a French singer?) had on pink nightwear. One of the scenes involved a train set running through which they walked over.
I can't remember any of the lyrics, something about not ready for the b-side. And holding the mic. Innuendo kind of stuff, you know?
Alls I know is that it was at the end of a Quake Live video I watched years back. I've been through dozens on the Youtubes but couldn't find it for love nor money.
Anyone know the artist/song??
Adrian Reyes
Sampling from other songs in the album/songs from previous albums.
Justin Baker
That "OVO Sound" uses tons of reversed organs and piano samples reversed. Key on their atmospheric sound (See Noah "40" Shebib's work for more)
Tyler Murphy
HAVE A SAD CUM BB
Robert Nguyen
>need to eat
Fuck, that's a good song for a Soundcloud rapper, I'll admit. I feel weird because normally I hate everything that comes from Soundcloud. What time signature is that?
Thomas Torres
>Industrial drum samples
Gabriel Smith
found, not that anyone cared.
Caleb Lopez
When theres banter at the end of the song
Brayden Long
high pitched effeminate male vocals
i'm inable to resist shit like scissor sisters

>whole band havin a laff clearly having a ton of fun
Joshua Wood

Ryan Diaz
Simultaneous high-frequency and low-frequency drones
Organs or harmonium mixed with electronics
Album covers with pictures of the band members smiling
Organic noise
Music with unusual cultural influence(aborigine, indian, native american, arabic, etc)
I like this as well!
Robert Young
Arpeggiated fluff
youtube.com

Colton Taylor
The spring reverb fingersnaps on "Rumor Has It" by Adele
Plucked bass as used in Don't Talk by The Beach Bizzles (and most of Pet Sounds in general)
TAPE ECHO
Vintage Radiophonic Workshop style synthesis
Delay self ocsillation
Immaculate vocals
Rhodes playing jazz chords
Kevin Russell
would femdom you desu
Nathaniel Butler
field recordings mixed in with music (i.e Grouper - Ruins), especially storm or water recordings in general
Asher Butler
When the beat drops out and its just the voice. I think this is overused in rap a bit, but my favorite example is here at 3:20
Liam Perez
Harmonics of any kind
A good example here:
youtube.com
Blake Price
Muh nigguh
Also, i dig sorta unexpected arrangements, tape/delay experimentation, when the song relays on ALL the instruments involved and sometimes a noisey af "Guitar solo".
>youtube.com
>youtube.com

>Fuck off, everyone does solos' like that.
Also, in "House of Cards", Thom does the rhythm guitar, Colin plays almost nothing througout the verse, but he's pretty important on giving dept on the chorus and bridge; Ed plays some pretty minuscule sounds throughout the whole song, like some reverb-springy sound at the beggining and he does an arrangement pretty similar to the bassline on the chorus. Meanwhile on that bridge, Jonny is doing the almost-orchestral sound with the coin and some other struming noises in the middle of the song. And then there's Phil, playing drums.
The song would sound like a shity cover if you take of any of the instruments.
Dominic Mitchell
when someone down-pitches or down-samples snares to the point where it sounds like a person sliding along gravel down a cliff.
i just really like it when snare samples lack clarity, especially in break-beat.
in fact, any creative usage of varying pitches for drum samples. for example this song from igorr, i don't know the technical name for this technique but holy shit it sounds good...it's like a percussion group being tortured on the belt of a chinese slave factory:
youtube.com
Cooper Howard
Fuuuuuuuck Igorrr's the GOAT. I found him around the end of last year and he's becoming one of my favorite artists. Have you heard Whourkr? It's a collaborative group of him and another French dude who does grindcore.
Easton Baker
Conversely, strong hits on 2 and 4 is my reason to live
Grayson Jackson
>atonal horns
Adam Richardson
sticky drama gave me an erection
Lincoln Smith
you mean Mutant Standard?
Leo Foster
You'd like Chris daddy Dave
Luke Gomez
>continuous hi-hats in 16th or 32nd notes
>reversed piano sounds
>3+ part vocal harmony
>compound time signatures
>non-musical samples (cave sounds, ocean noises, etc.) used in melodies
>G Minor key
