| Quote (Ugo @ Mar. 10 2010, 00:36) | The time signature of the "Introduction" piece changes all the way through it. The main piano figure is 7/8, 7/8, 7/8, 9/8. But when the second piano enters, playing block chords, the whole thing goes into straight 3/4 and keeps like that for a while; when the second piano stops playing, the 7/8-7/8-7/8-9/8 structure resumes. Then, of course, when the 'double' guitar solo starts (at about 4:00), it goes into 4/4. And what I like to call the 'triumphant' theme, i.e. straight after the Taped Motor Drive Amplified Organ Chord, is 5/4. After that, past the "Introduction", when the main piano theme resumes after the noisy "Fast Guitars" bit and the "Basses" theme (i.e. in the section called "Latin" on TB 2003), it may sound like it's 7/8 + 7/8 + 7/8 + 9/8 again, but it's really 5/4. And when it comes to "Blues" it has somehow metamorphosed into 12/8.  Of course I don't think about all this when I'm actually listening to the music, but the multiple time signatures give me a feeling of restlessness, of un-quietness - which I guess is what Mike was after. By comparison, "Sentinel", which starts in 4/4 and stays in 4/4 almost all of the way through, sounds much more "pop" to my ears. But I love it.  |
Awesome sharing, Ugo. Even being you.
(hahaha, just joking).
