Hmmm, it sounds like 7/4... I'm listening, and I can count
out groups of 7, but maybe it makes more sense alternating
between one bar of 3/4 and one of 4/4... hmmm, it's cool
either way...

I guess you are one of the two earthly beings (including me)
who have read the article on the autechre site about time
signatures.... I'll have to admit that from that time on i
often do some counting when i listen to music...... by the
way, 777 seems to be 7/4 to me, but i'm not sure of this....

maybe they broke all the rules and did 7/3?
maybe the answer is 24?
maybe i like cookies?
maybe i make sense?
maybe probly not?

hmm i care sometimes, cos i can't relax properly listening
to a track if i don't know when the next repetition will
start.
it's not a geeky thing like 'that snare sound at 2.35 on
track 3 sounds like its been run through an old tape
recorder on top of a table with the legs cut off'.

I took guitar lessons in which I had to learn time
signatures and notes and all that theory crap. Two years of
it and I didn't learn a damn thing. Only thing I can do is
identify 4/4 and 3/4, and even then I'm not sure HOW I
identify them.

it's polyrytmia ...the second beats that breaks in is 7/8

can anyone please explain to me what a time signature is?
im sick of seeing people talk about 3/4, 4/4, 7/4 or
whatever and never know what theyre talking about!

never figured what it was, but id like to once and for all!
all i know is that 4/4 is a straight up dancefloor beat (i
think)...

i think 3/4 is most country music...and stuff like 6/8 is a
waltzy thing. i think.. i like working with 6/8

yes, cipater has a time signature, as does Bine, and every
song I'm sure... it might be more complicated maybe
(although I don't think Cipater is complicated) but it's
still a time signature...

CORTEX: All a time signature is, is something which tells
how many of what kind of beats are in a bar... for example,
4/4 means there are 4 quarter notes... quarter is the 4... a
6/8 time signature would simply mean 6 eighth notes are in
the bar... and so forth...
