These are some ridiculously cool grooves, I hope you make songs out of each of these cause I would gladly listen to those everyday.

Just the simple concept of applying geometric shapes to time signiatures alone has blown my head wide open, like how the hell did I never think about using it to help keep a visual track of time without counting out beats in my head???

you are better off just breaking it all down to 2's and 3's. This kinda stuff is just good for video

[@reediculo6331]

If you add the right distortion, add bit of reverb, slow down the bpm, the 7/4 beat becomes a backrooms ost

[@brycestpeter]

This is the kind of stuff I aspire to write in my jazz pop fusion band. In the future, I predict that 4/4 may be less and less clung to as listeners evolve to hear newer meters. There are infinitely many meters.

[@alexchimi7093]

there are, but 8/4 and 4/4 are very hard to distinguish. the more complex you get, the harder the brain clings to whatever pattern there is. Adam Neely's video on "The Psychology of Extreme Rhythms" explains it very well

I love how you made it more interesting with subtle syncopation. Usually odd sigs are easy to identify with obvious strong beats.

[@cloudy4602]

I noticed that the 7/4 beat you made has a two 7/8 grooves built into it too! Love it!

[@beatgoddynasty5526]

This shit is so fuckin fire, I've never thought using odd time for smooth shit

[@jonaaaaaaah]

Very cool beats. I don't have a formal music education but I've been messing around in odd time signatures lately and this was very informative and has given me some ideas on how to expand some of the pieces I've been working on

[@ErikSeastead]

The 5 groove gave me, as respectfully as possible, Gran Turismo vibes

[@oddsynth]

5/4 pattern utilizes the rhythm which seems a lot more like quintuplet groove (perhaps it could be 5/8 or in some cases 5/16). I like how the 3rd part has more of a 7/8 groove

[@raresplays969]

i felt it was more of a 10/8 beat (3+3+2+2) if it makes sense

[@oddsynth]

@@raresplays969 I can hear sorta 3+2+3+2 (10/8 with snare in the middle) in the drums but now relistening with melodic parts I can see how they follow the pattern you described so it's tricky! kinda like both at the same time

[@oddsynth]

it's so fun to switch perception with these grooves, being able to hear it in several different ways

[@markl2804]

Awesome content! Any recommendations for developing a feel in odd time signatures? Clearly 4/4 is what western music is based on and what I grew up listening to. Id like to be able to improvise and freely create in other time signatures.

[@oddsynth]

You can break up the time signature you have into simpler parts, for example you can treat 7/4 as 4/4 followed by 3/4 (and more complex scenarios). That way, it'll be easier to follow with. Or you can think of it as skipping a beat if you want. For improvisation, just familiarize yourself with the groove and I think it'll come easier with practice

[@b-r-a-i-n-r-o-t]

i like putting a couple elements down to almost treat like a metronome which lets me pull a pulse out to wrap other elements around. so treating maybe a kick, snare, or riff as your "clock" and getting a pulse out of it that way

[@giddycadet]

Find music in odd time signatures! Two great bands to listen to are Tool and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - the Gizz are the ones I'm a fan of and they use 5/4 and 7/4 CONSTANTLY

[@giddycadet]

also yeah it helps to find a specific musical phrase that you can freely apply to a given time signature. I use Gizz's Nonagon motif for 7/4

[@premodamaze705]

bruh this is amazing

[@user-hf8ib6dw9l]

Great and very cool grooves. I felt the 3/4 like 6/8, 5/4 like 5/2, 7/4 like 7/8 at the same time.

Very interesting and well presented. I’m not sure about the first foray into 3/4 time sig, it sounds more like 6/8 to me, but I’m not an expert. The visual metronome is excellent, but personally I would prefer an audible one as well - at least for a few cycles. Regards.

This is unreal man! Is the third beat not 7/8 rather than 7/4 though? Also 3/4 isn’t usually my thing but this bops, love it ☺️

[@oddsynth]

yes it's a lot like 7/8 (but written in 7/4). though, if you trick your brain to focus on quarter notes it starts to sound a bit different maybe because 3/4 is usually made as 'waltz' and accents on 3?

[@jonnygeld9510]
