Day 28: A song that uses an unconventional time signature

I don’t know time signatures but Google tells me this is 29/8 and that that’s wild. And I like this song

I can’t say I’ve ever liked a nine inch nails song, but this is really good! 29/8 time is way beyond my ability to fully grasp but it sounds fuckin wild.
 
Day 28: A song that uses an unconventional time signature

I know nothing of time signatures and asked my dad to educate me a bit on them tonight. Still was worth a google and I’m still blissfully lost 🧐

Mainly done in 6/8 with some 12/8 and maybe 12/16 (not sure but the guy was fun to watch as he explained it)

Toxicity - System of a Down

Korok Forest Theme - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

If I'm going on a nature walk, and I want music, most of the Breath of the Wild soundtrack fits... but my first thought was feeling like a happy little korok playing hide and seek in their forest!


Here's a cute korok moment for those that don't know or don't remember what they are 🤭

Day 28: A song that uses an unconventional time signature

One that twisted me as a kid by Dave Brubeck Quartet, "Take Five"


I love this song so much, and would have used it for this, but I have posted it before. But the whole of the Time Out album is built around weird time signatures. And I love that -- weird rhythms as the central theme of a whole album. Well, albums -- Brukeck and the boys did four albums with the same theme.

J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 - Variatio 26 a 2 Clav - Performed by Lang Lang


I'm not going to pretend I can tell what key a song is in let alone the time signature but I figured there should be some classical on this list so I did a little digging and found this one.

This piano piece is in 3/4 time for the one hand and 18/16 for the other, and has the player switch hands.. that seems pretty complicated, I barely managed to get Für Elise figured out as a kid taking piano lessons 😁

Can't say I like listening to this song though, feels chaotic 😅

Day 29: A song for a nature walk

My wife and I are big hikers and walkers.

There is something about nature and being in the woods that I guess is “spiritual” for me.

My wife and I own a 26 acre wooded lot and we have a woodland management plan for it. Altho I have a day job, working on our land, building trails, splitting firewood, taking out invasives and planting new trees is pretty amazing.

When I’m in hw woods, I don’t want to listen to music. It has a music of its own: red tailed hawks, eagles, woodpeckers, blue jays, song birds, peepers, coyote, fox, crickets, cicadas…

And loud frogs… natures song for today.
