@HnefataflModern Very cool! Thanks for posting that! I'm a big fan of both Igor and Frank!

I call this "Stravinskian Rock" after one of Zappa's favorite composers/influences, Igor Stravinsky. He is using a rythmic technique Stravinksy utilized in many of his great works, most notably The Rite of Spring. There is implied polymeter here. Right at the beginning from 0:01 to 0:14 the bass is playing an ostinato in 11/8 meter, but listen to the drums...the drums are playing in 4/4 meter with the bass drum playing on each downbeat. A really cool effect is created by this...
-
...what I mean by "downbeats matching, upbeats matching" is the downbeats the bass drum is playing from the previous 11/8 measure become upbeats in the following measure, then become downbeats again, etc. all the while the drum is playing a consistent rhythm in 4/4. Just wanted to clarify.
-
...(cont.)Every odd number of 11/8 bars the bass is playing, the bass drum beats are on downbeats, but every even number of 11/8 bars for the bass part, the bass drums downbeats (while *musically unchanged*) are now playing on *upbeats*. So you have for each bar of 11/8 downbeats matching, upbeats matching, downbeats matching, upbeats matching, etc. Then at 0:17 both the bass and the drums play together in 11/8 (the bass doesn't change the riff, rather the drums now match the bass 11/8 feel).

"Tink" = me
and this song isn't as good as I was hoping it would be
tink20seven 2 years ago
Yeah,Tink is a complex piece to perform. There are 3 different time signatures going on at once (polyrhythm). Don't try to dance to this one :)
