Quote (Platinumpty @ July 26 2013, 11:29) | From a drumming perspective, it's probably easier to treat it as if it is as I described, but compositionally, and more accurately, I'm sure you're right. |
It certainly makes most sense to approach it that way from a guitar perspective - if, every time you come to the first of the two thwacks of the low D, you get a 19 note phrase, so you get that repeating four times, then you can have two bars of 15 to accommodate the final 30 (though I'd prefer to think of it as one phrase of 14 and one of 16, as you're then back to the low D with the last 16).
What you said, though, reminds me of a thing (the sadly late) Bob Brozman did as part of one of his shows, where he got the audience to count along to what he was playing in a number of different time signatures! Thinking about it, I'd have loved to have seen Bob tackle Amarok as a live show - he had the sense of humour and could have captured the album's manic spirit (the album he made with Takashi Hirayasu, Jin Jin has a similar blend of the manic, beautiful and whimsical, though in a different musical style...I have vivid memories of their show in London, and one moment with Bob nonchalantly bouncing from side to side with a charango in his hands while Takashi struggled not to just fall of his chair laughing at the sight).
