Question for CTTS fans/ Theory Knowledgable peeps

[SickOfStars]

This may sound stupid, but what goddamn time signiature is the beginning (up until the break right after "unto us a most inspired storm") of 'Same Shade as Concrete' in? It's the only part of the record that fails to make theoretical sense to me and still sounds like cacophany.

chaos sig

i don't know off the top of my head but i think i have that song in sheet music so I'll check when I get to my computer.

[deekismusic]

you on a handheld or something togepi?

[x togepi x]

nope, on a roommate's computer. Periodically, my laptop does this thing where it won't let the screen turn on until I plug it into a monitor. I'm just too lazy to plug it in.

[Blake Solomon]

my computer wont work unless it is plugged into a powersource, it is so stupid.

[x togepi x]

well...mine was fine until my roommate my freshman year decided to turn off all my security software so he could look at anime porn.

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

I have no idea what time sig its in... but I really like that song.

[x togepi x]

so i lied and actually didn't have that song. I thought i did, but I don't. maybe I'll slow it down on my computer and try and figure it out. it's probably a complex meter.

[SickOfStars]

Yeah, because the little breaks between bursts of whatever odd meter/time they are in are blatantly in 3/4 and then the quiet part that involves the line 'disheartened chorus' etc etc is in plain old 4/4 and then the finish of the song is in 6/8 or 3/4 (either way, easy to follow), but the beginning just always bugged me. It's badass, I just wish I could follow it. NP, I enjoy it either way.

[x togepi x]

it might be complex meter or maybe the meter changes really quickly. i know complex meter is really arbitrary and doesn't really make sense.

my computer wont work unless it is plugged into a powersource, it is so stupid.

haahaha, lame.

[Zeran]

maybe the meter changes really quickly.
i think this it, to be honest

[x togepi x]

yeah, i doubt they'd write in complex meter because I'd see no real reason to do that. it literally makes no sense. from how i understand theory, which could be wrong, complex meter is something you can do, but it doesnt necessarily make sense to do it.

bump.
