Here's a small clip from a tune I wrote for fretless bass.

Thank you all for your replies. Just to clear up things. A master thesis in danish music conservatory educations is not very theoretical. Our education is build on practical experience. Which is why this project isn't about written words, the project is about how you can use odd groups in your...

Hello everyone. I am writing my masters project in music right now about odd note groups, like groups of 3, 5, and 7, 16th notes in 4/4. Does anyone know how where this concept originated from? My own theory is from the classical music, when they started mixing up time signatures, to create the...

Here I am.
