this is excellent man. interesting to hear it with synthesizers. i'm turkish so i'm very close to the area's music. i read your post at audiotorium but i have no idea what you're talking about . lack of technicality on my part. but for future reference, you could listen to any gypsy music that involves a hammered dulcimer (cymbalom). it will surely broaden your view on how this type of thing can be done.

I am afraid that my knowledge of 'bulgarian' rhythm is mostly limited to Bartok.
His 'Mikrokosmos' contains several pieces called "Dance in Bulgarian rhythm".
Some are in a sort of 9 (2+2+2+3) and some in a sort of 7 (2+2+3).
The latter is what this peice is 'against'.

Yeah, and then overlay it with some of that intelligent rap that I keep hearing about, but never actually hear.herodotus wrote:fateamenabletochange wrote:stick one of those jon bonham outtakes to it.
Seriously though, I do like this quite a bit. I find myself liking quite a lot of your material.
take care,

definitely interesting...i kept waiting for the dance rhythms to kick in...i admit i got hooked to this from polyrhythms in the subject expecting some kinda' afropop...i'm hearing some female vocal ululations above this, among other things.......and maybe a low droning bass???

Something like what you are describing is a long contemplated project of mine.
My entry in this months contest is something like you describe.
Thanks for listening!

This is intense Herodotus, and beyond my technical skills. I have to ask; do you hear these rhthyms, imagining them first, or do they emerge from a simpler set of rules that guide the creation? Cool stuff.

The set of rules is the basic arithmetic structure that dictates that x repetitions of a meter with y beats is precisely equivalent to y repetitions of a meter with x beatsouroboros wrote:This is intense Herodotus, and beyond my technical skills.

After that its just a matter of picking familiar patterns and lining them up.
The hard part in a piece like this (for me at least) lies not in the rhythm but in the harmony. My early attempts at this stuff were really really dissonant. And not in a good way.
Glad you liked it.
Thanks for listening!

unusual, some great melodies in here..... rolling off a bit of the cutoff (possibly on an lfo) might give it a bit more seperation as would some auto panning.
cool tho.
steve.
ps. deep strings would sound cool......
