what does that mean, 9 to 1?

[joerobot32]

@ConBravurabassist its a ratio of how many notes to a beat. so 9 notes in the space of a quarter note for example.

@joerobot32 i would have to hear the song, but im pretty sure you don't mean 9 to 1.

[joerobot32]

@2cc1c actually those aren't my words, they're those of juan alderete, the bassist who wrote the part. yes i do mean 9 to 1. why wouldnt i mean that? 32nd notes are 8 to 1 quarter note. so why does 9 to 1 seem farfetched? its a simple triplet type polyrhythm. the song is called scarified, check out the bass solos.

[joerobot32]

@joerobot32 i know what they are. a ratio to 1 is still a polyrhythm. its just a more common one. besides in one of the bass solos. juan said it himself

good shit

[2cc1c]

@joerobot32 9 per 1 quarter is a way of subdividing, just like 8 per 1 quarter note. polyrhythms express a relationship between two (or more) different rhythmic patterns. i listened to a bit of the song(bad laptop speakers) but i think i heard the drummer playing 8th notes, 8th to 9/per quarter would give you 2:9 (in 4/4), which would be a polyrhythm.

Good exercise, but watch the timekeeping when you're showing it in slower.

Really nice though, I like it!

@SlapPopStacy - I doubt you are even a musician,most musicians I know are not filled with the kind of self hatred, bigotry and racism you exhibit... And before you get your little boy panties in a real twist, Don't bother responding this... Just look in the mirror...
