Time signature basics: Usually when it's an odd beat you can still find "beats" in it. The key is subdividing it by certain guidelines, and of course, changing it up some. A good example is "Mock Tudor" by Orbital, on the first "Style" single and the second disk of "The Altogether" You can subdivide many ways... when you have a song in 5/4 for example, you can cut it into 4 + 1, giving it an extra beat at the end and effectively slowing the song down, or like Brubeck and do it 3+2 which makes it more fluid. Tool uses a lot of off rythmn stuff in Laterelis, which is probably my favorite album Brubeck being a fantastic example... Blue Rondo Ala Turk is in 9/8, which is subdivided into 6+3, or even more accurately, 2+2+2+3, with three quick 2 beat rythmns followed by a triplet. Experiment with subdivisions, put a kick/snare on a couple beats in the measure and fool with the things below. Of course this is the typical way of doing things. If you just use one really hard beat, you can make the song effectively in 5 or 7 or 13 or whatever, but it makes it much harder to listen to in an electronica sense. Putting beats OVER other beats is a pain in the ass. I've played tons of piano pieces where you need to do that, Rachmaninoff notably comes to mind, and it's difficult. It's difficult to do well, it's difficult to do internal polyrythmns, at least with melodic lines. With drums, a little bit of spice can speed up the feel of the piece, or slow it down, depending on the numbers. I'll put together some examples if you guys want to learn some more... I can pull some specific parts out of CDs I have and show the difference |
