there used to be (still is?) a free (or $1) ios app with the cage prep piano sounds on it. big fun.

i liked that a lot. some of those high frequencies were getting to me as well.
so, i assume there was a lot of knob twiddling to get that. is thst correct? (it’s not self-generating, right?)
have you ever tried to play bass along with that sort of thing?
I play bass to this stuff all the time and plan to do more in the next few days.
Agreed, finding sweet spots to play bass on that must quite the challenge.cool. i find it really interesting to try to fit into and react to those sorts of evolving textures. good improv practice, for me.

wife couldn’t stand it......so you have confirmation it’s dope.
I’d like to try on some of these loops because they go off the rails. Be interesting to try to follow
I played along to it......not easy....Key centre is G...something.....hahahi like it cause it creates a need for different vocabulary (and fosters new ideas) and you also need different timbres (excuse to have more pedaks).
ok, @dukeorock kicked my @$$ to do something today.
Enjoy/cringe. (kept it kinda short to limit you guys suffering too much
That’s heavy! I liked it

I'd pay to see that.Okay, dude, how am I supposed to dance to that? Huh?
That's probably the only way it would happen.I'd pay to see that.

It’s odd that given the realm of options 4/4 is “the” dance beat for so much music. Like the metric system seems easy because we use 10 numbering digits. What if everything was hexadecimal? What’s a time signature analog for hexadecimal? 13/16 time?
Hexadecimal is not a time signature, it's a number system that uses base 16. Since 16 divides evenly by 4, I'd say it's a good way to describe all "rational" music time signatures, that is, any time signature with a 2,4,8,16,32,...etc. in the denominator.
So 13/16 is 13 16th notes long, and 13 in base ten is D in base 16. 16 base 10 is written as 10 base 16. So the time signature 13/16 can be written using hexadecimal as D/10.
4/4 base ten is still written 4/4 in base 16.

My nerd trap worked.
Lol @ this being done by May 2021, let alone May 2020...although I shouldn't say that, there is a chance we can be out of this by spring / summer next year. For those that don't agree, answer me what will magically happen to end this that isn't a vaccine?
