kaini Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 welllll 6/8 as i understand it is a 3/4 beat with a stress on every second downbeat? 1-2-3-4-5-6- which is essentially a 3/4 with a two-bar syncopation on the downbeat? 1-2-3-1-2-3- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ominous Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I've heard that some of James Holden's recent(ish) tracks are on 6/8; but i can't confirm this because i'm shit at fractions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Roisin Murphy - "Night of the Dancing Flame" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P0dy9w9Yuw It's 12/8, really, but if you're looking for a triplet feel, this has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 loving the discussion of time sigs. kaini - 3/4 and 6/8 can be thought of as being primarily the same, except of course in 6/8 the eighth note is the unit of the beat. It kind of gives the sound a little more urgency. Observe: 3/4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DF5a99zK2c 6/8 (6/8 starting at 1:50) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqTPFlf2MSU For some great time sig tomfoolery, Blue Rondo A La TUrk by the Dave Brubeck quartet is excellent. The 9/8 section is broken up into 2+2+2+3 (x3) followed by a section that goes 3+3+3. Then of course when they go into the solos the alternation between 9/8 and 4/4 is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc34Uj8wlmE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 3/4 has a distinct "three-feel", typically accented on the first and third beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX-eTjrEfmo 6/8 is a "compund double" and has a distinct "two-feel", typically accented on the first and fourth beat. The accents are evenly spaced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgHlruQkw0U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest margaret thatcher Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 blah. i still think you meant shufflestep 4-4 triplet stuff like what i posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecharlie Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'd argue that this one is in 6/8 and not 3/4: Sometimes the two are indistinguishable. I think a good rule of thumb is to count out the beats per measure and see which counting method feels more natural. Typically, songs in 6/8 could be rewritten in 2/4 with two sets of triplets per measure, whereas 3/4 songs cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'm no music theory expert in any way; I just start counting and then just guess on the bottom number. when I think of 6/8 I think of something like "all blues" by miles davis. to me it's sort of a double-time waltz feel.

J3FF3R00 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6/8_time It's hard to find electronic tracks in that signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6/8_time It's hard to find electronic tracks in that signature. pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well, the real distinction between 3/4 and 6/8 is that the former is still in duplets and the latter is in triplets. If it's a fast 3/4, then it's most likely 6/8. By the way, this is in 6/8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxhaRgJUMl8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do I... uhm...nope all the tunes I mentioned are in 6/8. disco mushroom by infected mushroom starts in 6/8 and changes to 4/4 halfway thru. check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7WYCzRMzVI Gotta love how me simply asking for tunes in a certain time sig turns into an academic discussion about time signatures. This board used to be awesome several years ago. Here's a track in 3/4 time. Notice the diff? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEngUqymJUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, songs in 6/8 could be rewritten in 2/4 with two sets of triplets per measure, whereas 3/4 songs cannot. this track is actually 6/4 it counts it in quarter notes 1-2-3-4-5-6 -- 1-2-3-4-5-6 6/8 does the same thing but with 8th note values relative to the master tempo.

Guest margaret thatcher Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 summertime clothes is in 4/4 triplets (shuffletime, whatever you wanna call it) 3/4 and 6/8 are virtually the same thing. think "kiss from a rose" by seal, "norwegian wood" by the beatles, etc. few electronic songs are in this time. i can only think of "spanish castles in space" by the orb and "think about me" by artful dodger.
