5 is a more common meter than you may think. There are Bollywood claves in 5/4 which are fit for exactly Bollywood dancing. Try this clave, it is one of those where people may not notice that they are not in 4/4. The clave is simple, you accent one and four and get: ONE-two-three-FOUR-five-ONE-etc. Try it, feel it, and play with it. I alway see a line of beautiful Bollywood babes dancing for me.

What a great thread! Close to bedtime, here, but will come back soon to listen to previous posts.

Just thought I'd leave this here:

Here 5/4. But not a tune I am that proud off. Should have made some more dynamic toms with better sounds but I guess you can catch the idea. First, the base rhythm in 5/4 goes polyrhythmic with a psytrancy lead in 4/4, then a stacatto melody-line in 5/4 takes over and so forth.

It’s wonderful, Jan. Surely locks one’s attention: What is going to happen next? Very pro production sound as well. I am not even going to try count it

Have done some shuffles swings and 6/8's but those are all purt ordinary meters. Well, 5, 7, 9 etc are not exactly unusual so far as that goes.

Have stooped to the trick of adding/deleting beats/bars to attempt to re-capture attention on a song probably already got interminably boring a minute or two beforehand, but that is an old common trick as well. In fact maybe it is most common in Country music and old Roots Blues. Maybe sometimes was done because the musician didn't know any better? Or for some elevated artistic purpose?

Sometimes I suspected that especially Country music will add/delete unexpected beats/bars just to make each I-IV-V song about Drink Away My Heartache, just little bit different from the other 99 gazillion I-IV-V songs about Drink Away My Heartache. To me it rarely felt "natural" or "moved a song along". Somewhat unfortunate because those odd little insertions/deletions mean that a sideman can't comfortably snooze thru a Country gig. He has to stay alert enough to avoid plowing thru the odd bars. I admire many country pickers, excellent players, but Commercial Country puts me to sleep.

Only song I did in 5 is rather square ho-hum 5/4. It maintains 5/4 thruout but a little past the middle impresses a 4/4 drum on-top and adjusts the "punches" to fit the 4/4, though the chord changes keep happening by 5's.

Could have been done better and subtler but hell I'm not above being the carpenter who blames his tools.

It was an SCI Drumtracks drum machine that was a good old drum machine but not exactly a subtle sound generator. Sequenced on an ESQ-1 8 track built-in sequencer at 24 PPQN, driving various old synths, real time mix to PCM501 2 track.

The choir is Yammie TX7. String bass and ac piano are Ensoniq Mirage. The Mirage piano was so pitiful that if you don't know any better it sounds like maybe a distorted Hohner Pianet rather than simply the most terrible piano sample ever invented. Bell-like and kalimba-like sounds ESQ-1. IIRC the portamento "almost sine" mono lead was Rhodes Chroma Polaris.

Seriously? Thanks a lot, man The noises are awesome for electro stuff

as for not being any parameter/time sig. i think you'll find it's actually all the time SIGs at all the tempos all at once

Now you say, it is actually quite obvious when listening to it again. I stand corrected

did you ever do anything with the piece of mine?
just interested, not like my lawyers are asking or anything

IncarnateX · Post by **IncarnateX** » Mon Mar 11, 2019 6:19 pm

Not yet. Have swithced my samplers too often during the half past half year to catch up. Though, there are gold pieces in there for noise and hits, surely. Think I may just slice it on ipad and import to whatever sampler that stays.

no probs.
was just reminded when youd bumped the thread

Please post your non-straight-4/4 tunes
