I chose a song from this band Meshuggah because they use repetition in the most abstract form I've ever witnessed in music. Not to mention that they invented a new genre of music dubbed "Djent" because of the unique sounds they created with the guitar with using, from my knowledge, palm mutes. Their music may sound harsh and repetitive to the common listener but it is actually quite beautiful and totally unique.

I attempted to find the part of the song where Ratliff talked about it. It took me multiple tries to catch what he was explaining on page 209. "And then at about 6:45 the most curious thing happens. There is a three-note descending motif, pushed through different keys and backgrounds of harmony, developing slowly and intensely and contrapuntally, its lines entering in overlapped succession like waves of a chorale..."

I agree with Ben Ratliff in this musical element of linking because there are so many artists that never stray from their usual musical routine and change things up. But sometimes life steps in and changes everything. Whether it's a positive experience or a negative one, life itself can change the way we all hear and create music.

Ratliff talks about how the repetition of life is constant and in many different forms, he adds, "But music doesn't have to be set at right angles. It doesn't have to be square or symmetrical or neatly sequential." He uses this repetition as an example for musicians who organize their unique sounds in different ways. This main view of rhythm and form have been used (sometimes) in the  wrong context and rarely have people strayed from the most basic forms. Repetition doesn't always have to be the same thing over and over. It's how you live and create when you are out of your own usual routine. He means the linking of music to life itself, the similarities, the differences, and what causes them to flourish alongside each other.

"We've been talking about music that, either by design or accident, communicates great happiness or great sadness, (Sometimes both)." - Ben Ratliff

"I think about music like this as linking music. Rather than settling within it's prescribed parameters, it seems to move inexorably forward and outward, unfolding and enfolding, according to the logic that suits it best." - Ben Ratliff
