Guest parhelion Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 The post about tunes in triplets reminded me of a question I've always wanted to ask on this and other forums... tell me some tracks in weird time signatures...5/4, 9/4 (blue rondo a la turk, hehe)...hell, even 3/4... not just psy trance. I can't think any ELECTRONIC songs in a time other than 4/4..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Track 5, "Buddy," from Plaid's Rest Proof Clockwork is either 5/4 or 10/8. They'll occasionally mess with their time signatures. EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest parhelion Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 it's in 6/4 yeah, I guess I just don't pay enough attention...thanks strumpling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Yeah, Double Figure's pretty awesome, ain't it. Sad that it's the end of their trilogy. Curious to see what they do next. Change their name again and start a new project? Hm.... EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strumpling Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Parhelion, You should listen to that whole album and get the new one, I think I remember him toying with times in at least one other Shpongle track. god damn mad-scientist Simon Posford.... He basically kills all my other music when I get a new CD of his.. grr.. -=- Matt/Strumpling -=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strumpling Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Oh and i think in DMT he CHANGES the time signature a couple times to other weird sh*t -=- Matt/Strumpling -=- Damn I gotta learn to get all my "stuff" out in one post. maybe I should just sit there for a few moments after I finish typing to make sure I'm done I'm gunna do that right now. Yeah that should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lÿsërgïç Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 i dont know if im thinking of the right thing here, but isnt a lot of heavy metal drumming done in that "triplet" beat pattern? cos i heard Dark Soho - Depth of emotion, which has triplets.. and it reminded me of heavy metal. i still think it sounds kick ass tho.

Guest Soulhunter Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 And what about Aphex Twin? AFX-songs without different time signatures are rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest parhelion Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 yeah, Dream Theatre is awesome ...but, they're not electronic. There's lots of good acoustic music out there in different time signatures...jazz in particular...Dave Brubeck, Don Ellis (I've got one of my dad's old records called "live in 3/(2/3)/4 time"...they really don't play in that time....I think that's humanly impossible, but the title's pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest green mouse Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 all Bulgarian folk music has extremely weird times...but that doesn't help you much...you are looking for electronic stuff....too bad...but what is wrong with acoustic?

Guest parhelion Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 absolutly nothing wrong with acoustic music...I just don't hear enough electronic music that breaks the 4/4 cycle...that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reticullian Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 One of my favorites ,,, WHEN THE DAYS TURN TO NIGHT... it's a 7/4 song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shpongled Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Can somebody explain 7/4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reticullian Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 There is 7 beats per bar ( measure ) ,.. and > / 4 = the beats is a crotchet (quarter note) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 ) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 ) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 ) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 ) .... You can count also,, it's easier !!! 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) ....

Guest jakemyth Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I am working on a track at the moment that uses 11/8 time......I think playing with sigs is important in any music but for psy I love it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mE Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 can someone explain the numerator's meaning and the denominator's meaning? Don't tell me it's as simple as 7/4 = 7 note melody during 4 beats (1 measure).... I can't be that... cuz it would be chaning all the time...

Guest Jikkenteki Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 The bottom number indicates what type of note is the basis for counting (4 (i.e. a quarter note) is the most common, although 8 (eight note) pops up some too, most electronic music doesn't go much beyond these two). The top number is the number of those notes in a bar, so 7/4 is seven quarter notes to a bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
