as for contrasting time signatures, my favorite example has to be "The One After 909" on BROWN (another one of that seemingly infinite stream of Rather Interesting releases by atom heart). this starts with james brown shouting "1, 2, 3" in the left speaker and another guy counting "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" in the right speaker. both samples are looped. a whole other melody starts up in the middle, probably in 4 but i never bothered to count it. actually it might be in 15, which would be pretty funny (the whole 3 against 5 thing comes into sync every 15 beats, of course). the whole thing is pretty damn trippy and a rather graphic demonstration of polyrhythm in action. not a bad tune, either. :) 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 -- Jon Drukman xxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx SpotMedia Communications ...I was an infinitely hot and dense dot...
