I find almost all of the new math rock stuff too stiff for my taste, but that's the style.
I don't have perfect pitch, and even my relative pitch is weak AF when multiple notes are heard simultaneously.
All I could really tell about the Bulgarian choir was that it was dissonant in a way that I simply love, and that the dissonance popped in and evaporated into unisons (which I can identify) in a mesmerizing way.

I'm not going to be giving it a re-listen, but it was cool to see Adam Neeley's breakdown on it.
But the harmony from tik tok he was highlighting is stuck in my head today and I've never even heard the original song.
That "You that I lie with" with that haunting harmony gives me goosebumps.


Anyway... the Plini piece hooked me with the 13/8 time signature in the intro. Then it actually took me a couple days to realize the middle of the song sounds so fluid in 13 time because it is - in fact - not in 13 time, but in a standard 4/4. Which ... I mean ... I'm dumb, and I did feel a bit let down when I realized that I was just being way too cerebral on myself.

Typical.
