What are some tracks you enjoy that feature rare time signatures? Especially in genres that don't normally use them

This Stereolab track is gorgeous, electronic lounge pop in 5/4

I still don’t know what a time signature is

This is 6/8. Lots of our RnB songs and even wavy hip hop beats are made in 6/8.

lemme educate myself then come back to this thread

wow

@Brave

the miseducation of material mill

Also, learning how to count tempo is important as well. Tempo is essentially the speed limit. Time Signatures is the distance allowed between each beat. 4/4 is distance. 6/8 is distance. 3/4 also distance etc. etc.

a time signature denotes the number of note value that one beat is equal to (numerator)

and the number of beats make up one bar (denominator)

so 4/4 time signature says 4 note values make up a beat, and 4 beats make up a bar

I think I do and then I post Hey Ya and how it’s got 11 beats (idk Bars??) instead of something like 8 or 16….and then someone comes out and says that is incorrect and that it’s something simple like 4/4

that shuffle bounce
its still 4/4, but a unique bounce

That makes sense okay

I don’t know how to explain it but someone know how there’s 11 snare hits before the beat loops?

You can tell that the beat loop extends into where a normal beat would’ve already looped around

Like normal it’s 1, 2, 3, 4 (repeat) but this song makes it sound like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1/2 bar (repeat) really tho u don’t notice the 1/2, it just keeps going to 11 and comes back around

I think Get This Money is 4/4 on a 16 bar loop

Word I was confused the loop isn’t 4 bars

Here’s another one I think it’s 4/3

15/8

6/4

Like by the 6 or 7th snare you can tell something weird just happened lol
