To anyone on this list who has been trying to email me and has been
getting messages returned....sorry. The server here at work shit the
bed.....it's back up now. Please re-send it.
Oh.... so I can make this message more IDM related...
(Note...this is for all you fellow composers out there!)
Just figured out the mathematical formula for layering a loop running at
1/4triplet half time(3/4 feel) against 1/4 notes (4/4) feel....for
example take a loop at 128. Say you wanted to freak a mad hip-hop feel
in a break without slowing down the tempo.
Divide 128 (or whatever BPM you are at) by 3, then multiply that number
by 2. You would get 85.666 BPM... Step write it in at 1/4 triplet time
extending over 2 measures (because it is half-time ya know)...
Freaky fun grooves man......try it... although it may not work with
every groove.
And you thought math was useless after high school.....
Peace,
James Bernard
