What's this called, exactly? I've heard it in rock before a lot, and it sprang to mind again after having bought two Ananda Shake albums; they seem to use it a lot (to good effect):

Not sure if has a particular name, it's basically two notes playing the same scale. One close to the bassline and one a few steps up :p or something

Isn't that just a chord though? The "dual riffing" thing doesn't really sound like a chord to me. I would experiment around with it but I'm away from my production system for the next few days. :C

It's just the same riff a few semitones up. So yeah chords, but with only 2 notes. Your unnecessarily over-complicating it by calling it duel riffing, it is something incredibly simple :P

another thing you can do is play the same notes an octave or two up. Really gives it space and freedom.

Sorry :( I was just thinking that it might have had its own special name.
