Launch viewer/editor for document I got interested in doing a polyrhythm experiment. I wanted to hear what it sounded like to play a cycle of 19 beats against a 13 beat cycle. Suposedly physicist Richard Feynman, who played hand drums, was able to figure out how to play different long rhythm cycles like these against each other. Then, because the software supports thsis experiment, I decided to try 19 against 5 and then 14 against 5. This animation is only three measures long, but it sounds pretty cool as the counts change. There's a big feeling of downshifting in measure three when the fast count drops to 14 beats. Hearing this played once doesn't give you maximum sensation. Download the animation, loop it, and let your brain catch on to what's going on for awhile. blog comments powered by DisqusPlease join our community at SongTrellis.
