droid Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hey all. Bit of a niche topic perhaps, even for here, but Ive been sliding down some rabbit holes and was wondering if anyone might have unearthed anything else from this mini-genre. Obviously there's a shit ton of tunes from this era with odd time signatures, but what about tunes which are ambient or (mostly) beatless? Stuff like AE - Yulquen 5/8 time (20 beats per loop) Pete Namlook - 1st Impression - 6/8 time - perhaps my favourite Namlook. AE - Piob (mix 2) 6/8 time SBVL - Pedals . Not sure what's going on with this one, there's 18 beats to the phrase, and if you start counting at the start of the loop it it seems to go 4/4, 5/4, 4/4, 5/4. Any more?

chim Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 That second ae bit is really good, felt more like 4/4 to me though. This track came to mind. I'm usually way past counting measures but I'm fairly certain it's not just a waltz, feels like 6/5? This felt kinda tricky with the tape loop ManjuShri and droid 2 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/98056-90s-ambient-with-unusual-time-signatures-by-idmelectronic-artists/#findComment-2752917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YangYing Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 There are a couple of opn tracks with odd timesignatures, not from the 90s tho..

Hard to say exactly what's going on there. Each loop has 15 beats, but 5 bars of 3 doesn't seem quite right, nor does 3 of 5. The system 7 is tricky. The main orchestral tape loop is a two bar phrase, that seems to define the general structure of the tune but the arpeggio thing is all over the place.
