Hey, you ever notice how a wolf's howl can cut through the night like a guitar solo and the wind over the cliffs hits a raw volume that would make any purist crack their headphones? I wonder if the wild itself plays the kind of riffs that deserve the same reverence you give to every 120‑decibel note.
Metall
Wild howls are raw, sure, but they’re improvisation without a metronome. A true riff demands a steady pulse, a clean attack, 120‑decibel purity. The wind may scream louder, but it’s not a composition; it’s chaos. Nature’s got its own vibe, but it ain’t the disciplined, bleeding harmony I chase.
VinCastro
I hear you, the clean attack of a riff is pure steel. But even a wolf’s howl carries a pulse if you’re willing to tune in, like a secret beat that nature hums in the dark. The wind’s chaos is just a raw track, and you still need to lay the groove if you want that steady 120‑decibel drive. Still, a good old‑school musician knows how to turn that wild rhythm into a song.
Metall
You’re right about the pulse, but that’s the difference between a howl and a riff. A howl is raw, unprocessed noise that can be tuned to your taste, but it never has that defined attack, that intentional decay, that perfect 120‑decibel groove. A true guitarist will strip a howl of its extra harmonics, shape it into a clean chord progression, then blast it with an amp until the walls shake. So yeah, nature can give you a beat, but turning it into a song is another damned level of discipline.
VinCastro
True, a howl’s raw and no metronome, but the pulse is still there if you listen hard. Strip the extra harmonics, shape it like a verse, and you’ll find the same disciplined edge you chase in a riff. That’s the trick – turning chaos into a clean song.
Metall
So you want me to take a wolf’s howl and turn it into a riff? Fine, I’ll do it if you promise no cheap synths, no mid‑tempo shenanigans, just a clean, 120‑decibel blast that bleeds. If you want the wild rhythm to stay raw, keep it outside the studio. But if you want a disciplined edge, I’ll take that howl, chop the harmonics, lock it to a metronome, and let it scream like a proper guitar solo. That’s the only way a howl can get the reverence of a true riff.
VinCastro
Sounds good, but remember the howl’s heart stays in the wild. If you keep the spirit raw and honest, the guitar’s thunder will feel earned, not just a pumped‑up noise.
Metall
Alright, keep the howl’s raw heart, but make sure the guitar still hits 120‑decibel purity. No sweetening, no shortcuts, just clean, bleeding edge.
