  • tsy hainay zany é!mdddr lol an revk B

  • I've been trying to figure out the time signature myself for ages. At one point I was going to try to score this piece for piano but gave up.

    I love this song - the dance is a lot of fun too. Madagascar just kicks ass all around.

  • It's just 12/8 a Malagasy Quadrille  -HK

  • misaotra e!

  • well, before his years in the Goulog and his infamous performance at "Euthanasia Count Valdrem's Concervatory" (in Berlioz, i can draw some parallels. I find the piece as an entirety reminds me of a recounted tale from Snorri, an early Icelandic mythographer, specifically the piece he transcribed written for Thojtholf of Hvin (in honor of the Yngling ancestors of King Harald's father line). It has the same compositional feel as an ancient Icelandic hoop dance, or jig.

  • actually, it might just be in 3 or 6. nevermind.

  • most definitely man! i just have never heard such philanthropic notions within the parameters of a traditional song you know?! the aetherial, almost out-of-worldly compounding of systematic harmonic reverberations (which i'm sure has to do with the recording to some extent) can't help me to think that there must have been some, well, extra-terrestrial influence....i mean look at their traditional tokens of offerings

  • the playing style reminds me a lot of the great dillon chi, don't you think?

  • oh! i totally didn't hear that! wow, that means that it's like a combination of a waltz and a south-american shamanistic rhythm....true fusion! the harmonies though are certainly a unique development incorporating the complexities often expressed in only modern compositions, astounding

  • i just love the way the koto and zither players used extended breath techniques to inhance the timbre of the aedicule sections, providing a malasian "renaissance" feel. i also noticed that the quarter notes of the bass were arranged in sickle cells.

  • yeah, reducing to roughly 9.3 on the clave, and 6.45 on the guitar's subinterval punctuation of the downbeat (9/6) the clave itself though would have to be on the & of the 2, e of the 4, & of the 5, and a of the 7 in order for your idea to be true, as it does obviously fall on the intervalic pattern of 3, 5, 7 it alludes to the idea of a "golden section" (from European ethnography)thus pointedly opposite of traditional counterpoint. It seems to me most obviously a matter of polyrhythmic layering

  • touche. however, you are missing one crucial key. the use of romanesque seismic performance evaluation on every facade in the lower wing of the last two beats

  • hmmm....i can see where you are getting that from, especially in the 23-27 systems, but i think that metric modulation is more present in the opening "free-time" segment (an ideology from probably the tribal music of Africa). 15/8, does work, but skeletally the tune calls for a more transolopically complex rhythmic system, a 181 bar form transitioning from 3, 9, 6/7 with an layering of 3

  • i believe that this piece features an early form of the south american clave(it has its origins in african rhythms). instead of the typical 2-3 though, this features an order of 8-17-5.5-17-2.3-17-8-8-8 with every fourth touple shuffled according to the glissandos of the guitar, which in itself comes in a pattern of 4/4-4/4-4-4-2-2-4/4-4/4 with the last measuere sped up, similar to Andre 3000's hit song "Hey Ya"

  • well, it sounds to me like there is a waltz feel, probably from the early French influence of Madagascar --- probably a 6, or 3 combination with syncopation on the 9 it sounds like

  • the drums suggest a hemiola ultimatly fugueing into a highly syncoptated (3/2)*(5/4)=15/8-fold tempo increase.

    the other instruments suggest a nineteenth century triplet feel that is slightly slowing down and speeding up every seventh measure

  • this is insane! what time signature is that in?

  • sounds to me like a 5 against 7 with an arpeggiated crescendo in 5/3 with a triplet feel in 16ths that is.
