Speaking of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett didn't have any music schooling, and "Interstellar Overdrive" is highly chromatic. As are a lot of Radiohead songs-- no music school for Thom Yorke (Jonny Greenwood was the only member who had music training). I was stunned some years ago to find out that the progression of the verses of "Morning Bell" was A Also, a friend and I learned "Pyramid Song" years ago, charted it out, and discovered it's actually in 4/4: the phrases are highly syncopated but they add up to 8 (IIRC) bars of 4.That's interesting - I Ran that song through Sonic Visualiser last year - and to me it seems as if the percussion is in 4/4 but the piano part repeats mostly over 22/8 (11/4) but sometimes 10/4... When I broke down the part into separate phrases I got 7/8, 6/8, 5/8, 4/8. I placed the output of Sonic Visualiser on a grid which seemed to match perfectly and given the name I am inclined to think that this is what is going on. It's a very interesting and contentious song and I could very well be wrong - but that is my theoryThat very well could be. I just found the Rosegarden file in which I put a quantized version of the piano part for the whole song, and that's what we studied and discovered that it basically can be divided into common time. http://restivo.org/misc/pyramid.rg -ken
Great!
I take advantage of this topic to (auto-)advertise the Drummer's
"Gigsaw": polymetric possibilities will be integrated in next whole
update. Many thanks to Lilypond again.
It took me ten minutes to make up the joined midi file. (And an half an
hour to play around)
Like an illustration of what you said above:
Kick-hihat is in 4/4 and clave-woodblock in 7/8, 6/8, 5/8 and 4/8.
By the way i'm looking for a way to randomize 'note On' beetween two
values. I want to process that from a midicomp ascii file.
I haven't success with my search. (It seems to me Bash don't fit the bill.)
Thanks for any ideas.
