Mark Holcomb of Periphery on JamUp and BIAS by Positive Grid

Here's a short clip of me jamming through a couple riffs using a custom amp in BIAS, and running through several features in JamUp. The song list is:

1. Pale Aura
2. an untitled demo (which may or may not be used for Periphery)
3. Immaterial

Since I keep my Fractal AxeFx-II racked up in our touring rig when we're at home, my home jamming rig has been condensed to just an iPad and a powered cab. Not only are the tones as good as any other piece of gear I own but the portability of having both Positive Grid apps on iOS makes it ideal for travel.

That fuckin' right hand man..I swear..

11 years later and I'm still waiting for 2:13 to be in a Periphery song.

[TwinkSlayer]

5 years later and i still come back to listen to 2:13

[eugenemanakov]

8 years have passed…
But i'm still here for the riff at 2:13

[AshtonFitness]

Its a crime that, 10 years later, the riff at 2:13 hasn't been used

[TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

Can we start some sort of 2:13 riff petition to get this filled out into a full song. This piece of music has more emotion coming from it than most bands have over the space of ten albums. It can’t be sidelined to a ten second clip in a YouTube advert. I won’t have it!

[coreyballenger]

The only way I can describe Mark's playing is euphoric. The way I feel hearing what he plays is unlike anything else, I can just feel all kinds of emotions running through me!

[daymanfighterofthenightman]

That second unnamed song better be used in future Periphery or Haunted Shores work, its fucking beautiful.

[jackcafarella]

still mad that 9 years later the "BIAS riff" still hasn't been used. it's literally the best riff i've ever heard

[Chrismagnu]

Mark is just amazing. He really takes periphery to a new level

[thomasoring]

Mark's riffs have always pushed all the right buttons for me. Perfect mix of rich melancholic harmonies and powerful, agressive riffs. To my ears there's a certain emotional depth to his sound that I rarely hear in guitarists. He's such a goosebump generator.

[bilnovais]

2:13 It reminds me of childhood, so nostalgic. I love.

[badlywornshoes]

Mark, the "Untitled Demo" at 2:18 is one of the most interesting, grooviest and beautiful progressions and riffs I've heard you write, so I seriously hope you use it for something. Until this video, ironically enough, I had no idea that one of the main things I've loved about Periphery and Haunted Shores so much was YOUR compositional voice. Stay fierce buddy.

[frangallagher]

2:12 - 2:39 That's the most beautiful song I've ever heard....

[HiramEscandon]

Probably the best jamup/BIAS demo on the internet

[mohitrao]

I've watched this video a hundred times just for the riff at 2:15 <3

[Zan]

Mark writes some of the best riffs of all time. Hands down.

[ochiebiryani]

2021 and im still going back to that 2nd riff @2:13! Whose with me?

[TeslaNick]

Mark, you're a genius man.... May Periphery be around for a very long time...

[rualmar]

Almost 6 years after and I keep breaking down and re-studying these riffs from time to time. As Plini said, not only Riff Guru, but also timeless
