Rhythmic Interest 002 -- Polyrhythmic Ponderings

Production
1

Hello and welcome to Rhythmic Interest 002, Polyrhthmic Ponderings!

The rules are simple, you need to make a polyrhthmic or polymetric
dubstep inspired tune, between 140 and 145 BPM. Try to avoid the usual
2-steppy drum beat and come up with something a bit more rhythmically
interesting.

There’s no sample pack, or sound restrictions here, so go ham.

Voting Will be open until June 18th.

it’s a good enough set of boundaries, but they are loose enough to end up with some interesting submissions out of them too. it’s a good idea.

so is it too easy? it looks like an easy way to end up with trap. not on purpose.

ikd man I don’t think trap is generally very polyrhythmic and it also relies on half-time beats pretty much exclusively

the hats at the end of a pattern are usually some sort of triplets. or whatever they do now. they line up if you try a few. idc :mrjoint:

that’s fair, I tend to think of “polyrhythms” as more complex than thay but I guess technically that’s the definition of it. I just think of triplets and dotted notes etc as pretty everyday stuff

i skipped down to the video and it immediately goes to 3/4 discussion. so i thought thats what we were doing. breaks will work fine anyway so i’m good. If I end up with trap it is ok, I have a Circular File. :slight_smile:

Triplets are just triplets.

Triplets on top of a 4/4 groove at the same time is a polyrhythm imo, not just as a feature at the end of a bar.

3/4 is a time signature, 4 bars of 3 pulses each. 3 over 4 is a polyrhythm with 3 pulses over 4 pulses occuring within the same time frame.
