Matt Garstka
Animals as Leaders · Polymetric layering and linear coordination over djent's shifting riffs
Garstka builds parts by stacking metrically independent layers — a kick pattern in one grouping, hands in another, a hi-hat ostinato in a third — over Animals as Leaders' djent riffing, using metric modulation to bridge sections that never quite line up the way you expect.
- Polymetric layers where each limb quietly follows its own grouping
- Metric modulation used to bridge riffs at different implied tempos
- Linear coordination that tracks the guitar's riff rhythm exactly
“The riff tells you the rhythm; your job is to find the groove hiding inside it.”
