Kitana & Trivium
Kitana
Do you ever feel the precision of a blade's strike echoes the exact timing of a guitar solo? I'd love to hear how you channel that in your music.
Trivium
Yeah, it’s like when a knife cuts cleanly—every cut is a beat, a clear line. I try to line up my riffs so the notes land like that strike, sharp, precise, and with a little edge that cuts through the mix. When the rhythm hits, the guitar has to follow exactly, no room for hesitation. It’s all about that exact timing, that instant where the sound feels like a blade slicing through silence. That’s what I aim for.
Kitana
I can understand that. The exact moment you hit a note feels like a single, decisive move in a battle. Keep aligning your mind, body, and instrument, and the rhythm will stay true.
Trivium
Yeah, that’s the vibe. If you let the beat lead, the timing stays sharp. Don’t get stuck in the perfection grind, though—let the groove flow.
Kitana
Keep the blade of precision, but allow a whisper of freedom—like a wind in the bamboo—so the groove can breathe. Balance discipline with flow, and the music will stay sharp and true.
