sounds a lot more like 3/4 to me but whatever

9/8 is 3/4 with a triplet subdivision

@@clarkingtonatortron if you weren't told this is apparently 9/8 and someone asked you what time signature this is in, I doubt you would have counted 9/8, it fits much more nicely into 3 beats than 9 as opposed to something like big fig wasp by king gizzard, which is very clearly 9/4 (in the parts where there's singing, elsewhere it's in 4/4)

In the description it is said that he kept on switching from 9/8 to 3/4,6/8 etc. but most were 9/8

throughout the whole song I used a bunch of time signatures with compound meter (time signatures where 3 notes go into a single beat) and 3/4 itself like a minute in. So you're right, compound meters just sound like 3/4 if we consider each beat of 9/8 or 6/8 to be the same length as a single measure of 3/4 they sound pretty much the same. But that 3 measures in 1 sort of deal is kind of what 9/8 is all about and why its so funky. TLDR, yeah fair enough lol

Very waltzy and pretty good You should try an even odder feeling time signature like 7/8 or 5/4 and see where it takes you

The waltz is in my unstoppable it just kind of comes in and doesn't leave but thats actually a good idea, I've always thought 5/4 was weird but now that I've conquered 9/8, it might be time for 5/4 to shine

@@MrMeowwMeoww From my experience and a little advice from my teacher, composers tend to break up the beat into sections (e.g. 5/4 would be counted as 123 12 instead of 12345 or even 1234 1)

Now use a tuning system that isn't for casuals >:^) I'd recommend 23edo if you want a really weird and difficult tuning system to start with. (good song btw!)

tuning is a bit too adventurous for now I think lol, but if I ever go down the dark path of wildly experimental tuning I'll make sure to look into it :)

actually goes hard af

thanks :D

i think this is closer to 3/4-- each measure of 9/8 would more easily be written as 3 measures of 3/4, with eighth notes rewritten as quarter notes

@MrMeowwMeoww

yeah that's pretty true lol, although I find that composing 9/8 leads to much funkier results than composing in 3/4 (because compound meters are amazing) even if they technically sound the same if you think about it hard enough. Idk there's just something about seeing a piano roll with 9 notes per measure and being like "wtf am I looking at" that confuses your brain just enough to where you write something coherent but it's definitely not what you would've put down if you wrote in 3/4 lmao

PLEASE, MAKE MORE

Shit goes hard.

Wow that is a really cool song. What software did you use?

9/8? Nah. Make a song in 7/4 with a 3:4:5 polyrhythm and at 146 BPM
