i am new to this polyrhythm, and i am very interested in many ways, i am just gathering informations about it! i kinda get the concept here, but dont understand whats up with the something (over) (/) something.. confused me (ex. 3/4)

Is it the timing switching you are going through in a piece?

@Q8BrutalRocker Hello, I'm not sure what is not clear to you. 3/4 simply stands for the time signature whereas there are 3 beats per measure and the bottom number "4" represents the type of note that would signify a beat. Thus 3/4 means "3" beats of quarter notes "4" getting one beat.

In the context of this video I am showing how two different tempos (speeds) can actually co-exist.

Ciao,

Steve Giordano (jzguru)

Great vid, explains polyrhythms much clearer than most others on Youtube!

Yes. I like to try to feel it rather then get mathematical about it. This way, one will use these relationships more aesthetically.

Correction I meant 2 dotted quarters.
