Polymetricity.
Aug 04, 2004, 16:14
I just meant that there are tunes on "Zuckerzeit" which employ several meters simultaneously. For example, in one of Moebius' contributions near the end of the album, two melodies play even (quarter?) notes, but one repeats every six notes, the other every seven. Other tracks play three against four, which is a bit more traditional; but still, modern electronica I tend to hear, even jungle, uses just 4/4 time, maybe broken into sixteenth notes but not with any prevailing patterns that are, say, 12 beats long.
