I was working on a song in 5/4 when I accidentally wrote this chonking big riff in 7/8. Sounds like Soundgarden with a Rammstein touch. I usually don’t like 7/8 but this riff has something magical about it.
Tell yer drummer to play quarter notes on that 7/8 riff so you get a phat pulse over the bar line.
I don’t have a drummer, but you might be the one to ask about another piece. All of it’s in 4/4 except the main riff, which is (I think) 6/8. I really want to do a polyrhythm but I’m not sure how to make it flow with the straight 4/4 stuff. Any ideas?
Any 3:2 polyrhythm will work. Look up Pete Magadini on YouTube and learn to count 6:4 (same as 3:2). Also, buy his book: http://www.petermagadini.com/portfolio/polyrhythms-the-musicians-guide/.
Well, it’s just a riff at this point. And my riffs tend to have sections, and I only have one section. Early days. If I make something worth sharing, I’ll share.
Not too bad. We’re at the halfway point.
Had turbinoplasty operation today. They remove some bony structure and tissue inside the nose, to ease air passage (in the long run).
The operation went fine but there is quite some bleeding and irritation in the nose area. 2 weeks off work, luckilly with pay. Just taking it easy and planning to add a lot of play hours to my No Mans Sky play time!
Hey congrats! Is No Mans Sky good? I liked it originally but got bored, and it looked to me like all the updates were about combat, which I don’t care about and would rather avoid.
Thanks! I am enjoying it quite a lot actually. The latest update and expedition is about fishing! I guess they are using NMS as a testing platform for their upcoming survival game called Light No Fire.
I like games where i can just do my own thing, try to figure things out and look at pretty stuff. That said, i’m only 90hour into this play so i dont know how well it holds in the long run
The heat wave has broken and I was practically frolicking outside today. It’s so incredibly pleasant, other than the air quality warning from the nearby fires. 😬
Unlike most of my lifetime, work is calm but the rest is crazy.
