Listens to «Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist» and trying to play the bass on it, one notice it doesnt follow the same metre as the melody, or i find them to go in different directions. I find i to be a very cool bass line, very gritty and stubborn. Im not good with placing musical terms but this song strikes me to feature either a polymetric or counterpoint. -------------

It's not really polymetric, although the rhythm and the melody stress different parts of the beats. The bass follows along with that recurring rhythm that starts off the song, which has a 3 + 3 + 2 beat pattern, although that's really just 2 bars of 4/4. The melodies seem to be in 4 beat phrases. Every once in a while, they put in an extra measure of 3/4 or something, or pickup to a measure on an offbeat, so that will through you off if you don't know all the variations - although the whole band plays those together, so it doesn't put anything out of sync or anything like that.. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |
