I understood you were referring to the snare rush at the end, I wrote my reply in a hurry and thought I'd quickly mention the metre first. Now that I hear it more carefully, you're right, there's a few milliseconds missing from the end of the loop, the 'bell'-like pattern plays a bit faster the last couple of notes etc. If we disregard the slight timing thing, then the snare rush is just 16th notes and the loop is 3 bars of 6/4 like this: and the same thing with music notation: HTH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian trageskin Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) thanks for this! so if i understand you correctly, your explanation is that the tempo is slightly accelerated during the snare rush, nothing to do with odd-numbered tuplets or anything, correct? this is my current explanation btw.

I don't think the snare rush itself was played gradually faster. We probably perceive it as accelerating due to the whooshing sound on top as well. I'm guessing what happened was, they composed several bars of the theme, but in the end they chose only those 3 bars, so they looped them over and over and bounced that as the final piece; but they chose a slightly shorter segment to loop, and that made it sound jumpy.

brian trageskin Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 i meant "faster" actually, not "accelerating". the segment with the snare rush is at a faster tempo than the rest of the bar, which explains why the 3rd bar is slightly shorter than the other 2. i'm 300% sure of this. i don't know how to sync a click track to the tempo of an audio file so i just used my ears, but that tempo change is pretty easy to detect at normal speed, and it's even more obvious when you slow the audio down. can't you hear it?

Here's the snare rush time-stretched to better match the 16th note grid - it requires a 0.83x time stretch to achieve this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian trageskin Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 nice. i hope you now understand why i mentioned tuplets. but yeah, it's just a segment at a different tempo, not tuplets. anyway that was fun. thanks again for the notation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian trageskin Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 holy crap, i just noticed this. it might be tuplets after all, combined with a time signature change - or something: 6 16th notes fitting into the space of 5 coincidence? i think not. the plot thickens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
