| *For my original track 'Electrolegs' from my band The New Caledonia- www.youtube.com *Here is my Mars Volta Medley - Jon Theodore www.youtube.com This was filmed and recorded as one continuous, single take with no editing to the videos or drums in post production I put this medley together to show my interpretation of some of my favorite Tomas Haake/Meshuggah moments. I did this solely to challenge myself. Once I had chosen the grooves I wanted I arranged them using Ableton Live with no edits or tempo changes. I was aiming for flow, groove and climax with the arrangement. I committed the whole medley to memory and learnt it all by ear. I do not transcribe. I played along to the medley in my in ears with no click track except at 1:54 and 8:26 where the drums stop momentarily.
