Post game music with complex time signatures. Bonus points if it changes midway. Starting with a few.

Calling 7/8 "complex"
Kys
Ethan Collins
That's what it is by definition. Complex is a label with a musical definition, not just some flowery adjective.
Usually tracks with 7 beats to a bar are written as 7/4 not 7/8 though.
Alexander Smith
bumping with everyone's 5/4

Novelty is the spice of life, user. Having a rare time signature makes something sound novel.

I wish I knew enough about music to understand what any of this means

29/16
Evan Howard
the top is the number of beats per measure
the bottom is the value of a beat e.g. 4 means a quarter note is 1 beat, 8 means an eight note is one beat
Colton Hall
do schools not teach basic music education anymore or something?
Easton Gutierrez
>not 6/8
nothin personell kid
but you dont know shit
Benjamin Turner
its 4/4 ya dingus. Literally common time.
Brody Turner

What the fuck
Jacob Brooks

shit taste
Gabriel Wilson
I grew up in the era before music programs were canned and we weren't even taught much. We basically got recorders and learned how to play mary had a little lamb and what the basic notes were. It's no wonder they don't teach that shit anymore, what a waste of tax payer dollars
Jason Hernandez

is this not poly-rhythmic? It sounds all freaky
Christopher Foster
>literally counts 1 2 3 4 HIT IT!
I'm not sure how this isn't 4/4.
Michael Powell
In music it's written in measures, time signature notes how the measure is written
In this shitty example each uses a quarter note as the beat measure, one with 4 beats (4/4) and one with 3 beats (3/4.) The significance of this is mostly on where you'd put emphasis within the melody. In a typical piece with a basic rhythm the start of each measure would have the accent, or main emphasized sound that carries the measure. For your average 4/4 think: ONE, two, three, four, ONE, two, three, four.
Angel Martin

what the fuck is this song
>tfw 0:49 hits
Camden Scott
Isn't this some weird time signature?
youtube.com
I have no clue how to tell the difference. I'm pretty sure I've heard that it's 3/4 though.
I understand and know that definition, but I have no idea how to piece it together in my head to really understand it. What IS a beat? What's the difference between 4/4 and 8/8? I don't get it.
Christopher Rodriguez
not elementary school shit, i'm talking about high school where you'd actually have a music theory class. unless they don't require credits in the arts anymore
Ethan Harris
This is 4/4.
Tyler Sanchez
Yeah but how do you guys just hear this? I can identify ONE, 2,3,4. Anything else is beyond me.
Aiden Murphy
I cant figure out the time signature
youtube.com
Ryan Cox
Right, but assuming the time signature doesn't match the melody, how you can you tell the difference between, for example, 6 notes in each?
Can you really just hear it? Do you receive some kind of training to do this?
Hudson Lewis
Music's been getting the axe for years now.
Lucas Gonzalez

4/4
Dylan Adams

Noah Rodriguez
Asher Long
Ethan Thomas
time signatures and all these technical terms are just that: terminology we use to quantify something that we feel
There's a nuance to each of them that's not quite contained in simple numerical definition. You really have to feel the beat to be able to discern what is being talked about. It's something that you're going to have to study if you want to know, but it's certainly not an inherent talent or anything like that. Anyone can do it
Robert Jackson
is this 8/8?
Kevin Williams
Andrew Gonzalez
>usually written as 7/4 not 7/8
Uh, no
Robert Reed
4/4 with clave rhythm in certain instruments
Jaxon Howard
Jose Butler
What the fuck is a time signature and how do I tell them apart?
Jose Bennett
Definitely 3/4, you've got it.
Jaxon Collins
get studyin kid

Isaiah Gomez
Can you just give me a quick rundown? It's late and I don't feel like reading all of that.
Leo Turner
The important part of the time signature is the top, which tells you how many beats there are to a measure, basically how many beats before the music repeats. Try counting along to music and reset your count when you feel the music reaches a point of repetition.
One thing to not be fooled by is that music in 4/4 is often split up into 1.5+1.5+1 instead of 2+2, leading people to believe it's in a weird time signature.
Brandon Phillips
That's 4/4, dumbass. Count the drum beat.
Hudson Phillips
Josiah Perry
There are stresses or emphasis that is placed on sets of notes to intuitively divide them into sections (ie: bars). Taking youtube.com
It gets a little tricker when you're looking at 'equivalent' time signatures (3/4 to 6/8 or 4/4 to 8/8 for example). There's not a whole lot differentiating between 3/4 and 6/8 as written, but general convention is that 3/4 is a waltz with a stress on the first beat while 6/8 is two sets of triplets with the stress on the fourth beat. It's a lot harder to differentiate between these time signatures without familiarity of musical convention.
Daniel Carter
7/4?
It feels like a 5/4 to me.
Jason Reed
yup, 5/4
Luke Clark
i wish people would do f5/4 more often. this shit gets you so hyped.
Jeremiah Davis
this thread is so reddit lmao
Jaxon Gray
Ethan Nelson

having trouble figuring the signature on this one.
Jackson Bennett
It starts as 5/4 but shifts into 4/4 at around 0:32 I think.
Oliver Hernandez
Cooper Phillips
I don't understand this at all, am I retarded or something?
Benjamin Bailey
It's a 3/4 that translates to 4/4 at the same bpm in 0:49, but it's written in a tricky way that throws you off heavily. Sick tune dude.
Jacob Morgan
is this 3/4?
Noah Cook
Start with easy pop songs. Notice where the music loops. That's the start of a measure. Now just 'feel the music' and clap along. That clap is the beat.
Ayden Rodriguez
FUCKING YES
Colton Evans
clap your hands to the beat of the song, if you feel a natural accentuated beat, that basically tells you the time signature of the song.
Aaron Mitchell
Does that change between 5/4 and 4/4?
Thomas James
probably, but you'll figure it out eventually
there are better places to learn music than Sup Forums
Ethan Perry
youtube.com
3/4 i think
Nathaniel Reed
Yes.
Blake Parker
another 3/4
Michael Hughes
It sounds like it alternates between 14/8 and 13/8 with each bar, going by the piano.
Lincoln Hughes
youtube.com
you know I'm starting to notice that golden age square has a lot of interesting time signatures in their games.
Evan Smith
It's something really stupid like 27/4 or some shit. It's divided into 3-3-8-3-3-7
Brayden Morris
I'm having a pretty hard time counting this one out. Almost want to say 8/4.
Hunter Cook
Ignore the fedora symbols. Take any fraction thingy, 4/8 for instance.
The top of the faction, 4, means you count in groups of 4's (one, two, three, four) and then
Carter Williams
Eli Carter
Feels like 8/4 to me.
Logan White
I can't feel a "naturally accented beat" in anything.
I'm genuinely starting to think I'm autistic or something.
Ryder Robinson
Oop. There's also 12-beat bars in every other set of four, too. The progression overall seems to be:
14/16
13/16
14/16
13/16
-
13/16
12/16
13/16
12/16
And repeat. What a weird signature.
Lucas Brown
literally 4/4
Try one of the other Evergrace songs already in the thread.
Kevin Harris
Why is 4/4 so common? And, more importantly, why does it sound so good?
Is it really just convention, or is there something innate about it that just makes it sound good to a human?
youtube.com
Is it really just feeding off our cultural expectations from all the other music we've heard before?
Also here's what I think I remember being some weird time signature:
youtube.com
Colton Morgan
Listen to a song like Billie Jean from Michael Jackson and clap along naturally. Now every time you clap start counting, but reset once you reach four, so you go like one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four etc.
Don't you feel like the one is accentuated?
Jason Bennett
sounds like 5/4 to me
Jordan Hughes
I'd call this 6/8, actually. The main rhythm feels like a 2-pulse and it makes more sense to put it as one bar than stretch it over two.
Also nitpicking, but they're groupings of three quavers rather than triplets. Two sets of triplets would be either 2/4 or 4/4.
