(pulls out trumpet) My own Solenoid track "Pillow Speaker" on the Emanated compilation (www.syncopated.net/emanate) is in straight 6/4 throughout, not even an underlying 4/4 there, actually, and not waltzy or 3/4 in disguise. It is liberating to work in time sigs like that as I've found my tracks feel free of genre-clinging ...except maybe jazz, but the instrumentation is so much more alien (puts trumpet away) There is a lot of non 4/4 out there (some that works well, too!) and I've noticed that a lot of them seem to end up on full-length releases moreso than 12"s Solenoid On Sun, 28 Feb 1999, lazlo wrote: > Amon Tobin did a rabid 5/4 cut on Permutation, "Sordid."
