Rhythmic Interest 002 -- Polyrhythmic Ponderings

I apporached it that way, as 12 was easy for me to work with, to divide, and to visualise.
Not sure I nailed it, most of what I made sounded so messy. In the end I decided to just have two or three elements “competing” with each other.

Will see once the playlist goes up…
Really excited for this one.

Yeah that’s a solid way to handle it.

5 days left, how’s it looking guys?

I could call mine done but I want to put a little bit more time into it, just haven’t had much of a chance

I got something in the works

haven’t started yet. Maybe today. But you said the 20th. Plenty of time for anyone who hasn’t started. Maybe I will make sure I am making a valid sub first. lol :slight_smile:

Still haven’t been able to work more on mine because my ears are fucked.
Might just send in the thing I’ve made, but seems a bit lame, it’s not a full song.

Well atm we have one other sub besides mine, and one link to a published song, which I’m not sure what to do with and haven’t gotten a response on.

So I’ll take a half finished song over 2 entries lol

I have a tune to share but it’s not polyrhythm, it’s jungle. How do I change jungle into polyrhythm jungle? Please help. (Lol)

Maybe just add some synth melodies that are in polyrhythm?
Keep the breaks as is

I’ve posted a ton of explanations on how to do polyrhythms already, so you can read through my posts, but basically take 12 beats and accent different parts of it. Divide by 2 for 6 beats, 3 for 4, 4 for 3, 6 for 2. You could also look up some African bell patterns.

Don’t be afraid to submit your song anyway, even if it doesn’t meet the criteria very well. We’d love to listen

I have something cooking. I might get it finished by tomorrow. Maybe we can extend the due date through the weekend?

Shouldn’t be a problem. Gives Ryan time to sort his shit too

@Paralytik get harkat to finish your song or smth

I appreciate the suggestion, but nah m8, it’s my song lol. He can make his own.

So is the deadline date changing then?

Yeah we’ll push it back to Monday I guess. Due on the 23rd

I really hope you get some subs for this one. Been looking forward to hearing how the brief was interpreted.

Yeah man same. Polyrhythms are seriously one of my favorite concepts so I was excited to hear what people made with them.

Paralytik also suggested to me we don’t worry about anonymity with this one since there’s so few entries, which I’m open to.

I’m curious why we got so few entries for this one. We’re people just busy or not feeling the prompt?
