AE time signatures

i thought it'd be nice to list AE tracks and their time signitures. (assuming it is not 4/4)

 

I especially want to know the track Cichli from Chiastic Slide and Drone from Peel Sessions.

 

 

My idea is to bring these tracks into Ableton and try to duplicate certain aspects of them. (Don't worry, I am not that skilled, it is just for learning and experimenting)

I am sick of everybody thinking the last track from Peel Session (no "s") is titled Drone. It is Drane!

 

Cichli is in 5/4

Drane is in 10/8, but I'm not sure...

characi = 9. not really odd but can seem that way if it's not grouped in 3s

 

777 is obviously in 4/4.... :tongue:

 

 

and 444 is in 7/8 :rolleyes:

right, i can think of drane, cichli and dropp which is in 7/8. but generally their stuff is 4/4 all the way.

 

 

7/4 or even (4/4+3/4) would be more accurate for dropp. 7/8 would be considerably faster.

damn, we need some rook moderation.

 

cichli is most certainly in 5/4

 

777 is most certainly in 7/4

 

Drane is 5/4 or 10/8

 

As for Dropp? no clue.

 

and the most insane?

 

Slip's melody

29/8

Sublimit changes all the time.

 

Hmm? Sublimit is in pretty straight forward 4/4 no?

The beginning is clearly in 5/4.

 

Edit: Nuane is in 15/4, amirite? I must be mistaken...

Nuane is in 4/4.

 

I maintain that this business of slip being in 29/8 is also bullshit.

 

Pule would be an interesting one to try to count, but I haven't.

 

Most ae songs are not as metrically complicated as you probably think. It's all about the grouping of the beats.

Sublimit is almost entirely in 4/4 except one section in the earlier half that is in 5/4.

 

edit: not right at the beginning though. It's a few minutes in.

Just listened to Sublimit again

 

At 3:23 the rhythm changes, but it remains in 4/4 (but with 3 bar phrases, so it gets pretty funky)

 

At 3:40 it goes into 5/4

 

Then the meter is very unclear until around 6:50, when it is definitely in 4/4.

Gescom's Key Nell 2 is pretty cool - the track is in 4/4 but the mad beat that comes in around the halfway mark is a 7 beat pattern. It's funny in a way but I kinda liked this song more before I figured it out!

 

For some reason I always thought Drane/Drone was the same deal (odd pattern over even time signature) but yep, it's 10/8. This in no way diminishes its awesomeness.

Lentic Catachresis and Gantz Graf are two I'm curious about.

both 4/4 as far as i can tell. i've listened to gantz graf so much that i'm able to tap along to most parts of the track (with exception of the middle part where it all falls apart, hehe)

 

nobody has mentioned hub yet! 11/4 ftw!

Nuane is in 4/4.

Sorry, I thought it was a couple months ago... What a n00b I was! I just re-listened to the track and figured it was indeed in 4/4.

 

Pen Expers is partially in 5/4 (approved by Rook).

partially? i hear it as a straight 4/4 hiphop beat, sure it's mangled quite a lot but it's 4/4 alright. maybe the chord progression repeats every 5 bars or something.

I can't really remember... I need Rook's advice on this one.
