tunes in triplets!

[Guest james]

I really love tunes in triplets, for example alien project the first revelation

kicks into triplets at around 6:30. I love this style its so groovy. Could

someone recommend me some classic or recent tunes which are in this

style! Thanks

[Guest oa]

Hallucinogen kiks into triplets in a LOT of his songs. Derenger, Miloonyum and other i cant think of.

Dark soho - depth of emotion.

[Guest Slidingtrancer]

Hallucinogen-Shakey Shaker

 

He does it alot in his Shpongle stuff as well

[shpongled]

Spiral Active Project - Subshaker

L.A.B. - Trippin Trolls (half of the track is in triplets.. very good track)

 

Hallucinogen's Horrorgram starts with triplets but then quickly "slides" to normal timing... that's quite amazing.

 

Slidingtrancer... I might be wrong but I think Shakey Shaker is not in triplets.

[Guest phaeton]

ahh i love tunes in triplets, be it entire tracks or just parts

 

hux flux - tripple nipple

tarsis - spacetrain

logic bomb - think

logic bomb - secure the orbs

lab - trippin' trolls

technosommy - v.t.o.l.

nervasystem & aether - arouser

dark soho - the fusion

hallucinogen - fluoro neuro sponge

cosmosis - 'hidden' track on intergalactic, after roswell

some haldolium track that i don't remember the name of

 

btw, tracks in triplets can be _really_ fun to mix .. be a cool dj and add a triplet part in your set! will sure move the crowd too

[Guest Slidingtrancer]

Isn't it 'Shpongled' ...|?

 

I could be wrong, but I really think it is .... Hmmm

[Guest adrenachrome]

what are triplets???

[shpongled]

Triplet timing is when space between kick drums is divided three... but usually it's divided by four in psytrance and other music.

[Guest Stormbringer]

A normal dancemusic-bar (4/4) have four 1/4 notes. When using triplets you have only three 1/4.

 

I don´t know how to explain this :-)

 

1 2 3 4

1 2 3 4

[Guest Frederik Skuash]

and how could you know when you are listening a triplet tune?

[Otto Matta]

LOL, Frederik.

 

It takes a little practice to recognize it. First, I'd recommend listening to some of the songs listed above (Mr. Hanky's suggestions are good ones). Second, if I can try one more time to get it across with writing:

 

Say out out loud or tap your foot, in the space of about two seconds, the following:

 

"boom boom boom boom" (the booms being the bass drum)

 

Those four "booms" comprise one "measure" of a typical trance beat, otherwise known as a "4/4 time signature."

 

Each normal psytrance "boom" or beat (or "whole note") is divided further and evenly by four "sixteenth notes," generally played on top of the bass drum by high-hat cymbals, giving you the following:

 

"ts ts ts ts" for each "boom" - in other words, four "ts" beats in the small space of a "boom" beat. (See if you can tap your foot at about four "boom" beats every two seconds while speaking the "ts" part.)

 

Now, instead of *four* evenly spaced "ts" beats for each "boom," replace it with *three* evenly spaced "ts" beats without slowing the "booms." That's a triplet beat.

 

The way most of us recognize it is because the effect is a totally different feel and becomes obvious when we know what we're listening to, though I suspect even if you don't, you get the feeling something's very different. Once you get the general idea, you'll understand perfectly and won't think twice when you hear a triplet beat. EA

[Guest mE]

Yeah the beat is still 4/4 Stormbringer. I was talking about the MELODY in the MOS track. which IS 3/4. the melodes are in 3rds but the beat is always 4/4. I don't think a 3/4 base line would really work. Sound like a slow drum roll lol.

 

And besides 3 is on top 4 is on bottem Treble is on top bass is on bottem 3 = the denominator for treble 4 = denominator for bass ...Right?
