This is posted in every thread like this and I'm not sure if it counts as odd time signature, or just weird tempo change.
Sebastian Robinson
I would argue that Don't Be Afraid is is 10/8 rather than 5/4. Mostly from the tempo and the constant triple/triple/duple/duple division of the measure. It's kind of like when you play pieces that are in 8/8 rather than 4/4.
Nathan Martin
I don't even know the difference of 8/8 and 4/4.
Jack Hernandez
To a listener, there isn't one.
Logan Miller

5/4 I believe
Grayson Williams
Is phrasing or chord progressions not usually enough of a difference?
Christian Hughes
Here's a short example
There is a difference that is the result of emphasis placed on different notes in the measure. This is shown in the posted example.
Lincoln Gutierrez
I remember in a thread like this ages ago someone posted a song that had a signature change in the middle of the song to something completely absurd like 247/12 but fuck me if I can remember it
Gabriel Flores
Based on this example alone this seems like 8/8 to me.
Kevin Phillips
Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks, user!
Wyatt Green
It is, but it also has some neat polyrhythms going with the toms.
Liam Thomas
>took AP music theory
>couldn't tell you the time signature of any song without looking it up first or wildly guessing
That's probably why I got 3 on the finals.
Bentley Martin
western music theory is a load of shite
Cooper Moore
That's just basic 8/8, nothing interesting.
Ryder Bennett
Was just about to say this. It sounds a lot like jazz, rhythmically. Neat little thing.
No problem!
Blake Lopez
Jackson Jones
I believe it changes signatures several times throughout the song. The polyrhythms make it hard to identify though.
Ethan Nelson
Another 11/8. Or 5/8+6/8 whatever.
Dislike XIII all you want, some of the music was fucking A+.
Cameron Campbell
What alternatives can you vouch for? I know that in the Balkans you see shit like 25/16 crop up but not sure if the whole x/y time signature thing is part of what you mean by 'Western music theory'
David Parker
>tfw too dumb to participate
Liam Ramirez
>Nah man, music doesn't need theory behind it brah, you just gotta feel it. Here, check out my Youtube that has recordings of me with my guitar playing something that makes no musical sense.

Obvious ones in case they haven't been posted yet.
>fucking 29/16 masked man
Andrew Cruz
As appose to what? Also music theory is always supposed to be descriptive, not prescriptive. It's not like people just woke up one day and decided music had to be composed a certain way.
Jaxson Walker
Fuck, didn't mean to quote another post.
Wyatt Kelly
I have no clue, been over a decade since piano lessons but after dozens of songs I think this might not have the average time signature.
youtube.com
Jeremiah Stewart
Sounds like 5/8 to me.
Isaac Perry
Camden Brooks

What is this one?
Brayden Stewart
its 29/16 or some shit bro, count it out
Jonathan Morgan
I know nothing about music theory. Is Planescape music weird like the rest of the game?
Jayden Baker
I think this one is 5/4
Luis Edwards
>mfw started learning violin
Man I like it, but I feel like a complete retard. It doesn't help that I have no music theory knowledge
Evan Anderson
Another theoryscrub here. Drakengard has all sorts of odd things going on & this one seems to have some polyrhythms maybe but really I have no idea so I'll just post it & see i someone tells me it's actually just plain old 4/4 with some silly interruptions
youtube.com
Justin Richardson
Norfair is almost a straight waltz, but each phrase gets an extra beat, so 13/8? Maybe? Then the third section changes signature to 3/4.
youtu.be
Zero Mission adds another beat, so 14/8?
youtu.be
Nicholas Robinson
Agreed.
I was waiting for someone to post evergrace... dude i dont fucking know. The beginning is like some 15/8 fuckery. But later it opens up to 8/8?
Logan James
youtube.com
One of my favorites. 13/8 time signature.
Sounds like plain old 4/4 with some silly interruptions to me, by the time you get past the beginning part with all that empty noise.
Leo Myers
It's literally a 4/4. Listen to the bassline, man.
Landon Jones
Bentley Long
youtube.com
not super weird (5/4) but i like this one a lot
Camden Allen
youtube.com
Pretty much just a simple 6/8, but I like it a lot, and it's always the first thing I think of when I think of vidya music outside of 4/4.
I also thought of this even though I don't really play RPGs:
youtube.com
Is there a playlist of songs that break 4/4 like this? It'd be interesting to listen to.
Caleb Flores
I cant find the bassline ahhhhh
Austin Ramirez
it has dueling tempos
Jace Hall
Every other song in Spelunky has 5/4 time. An amazing soundtrack.
Aaron Cook
fucking masked man
Anthony Gomez
youtube.com
Just a simple 5/4 but I love this song
Christian Sullivan
Jonathan Johnson
do a lot of JRPGs use 5/4 for battle themes?
Michael Carter
Thread's over
Liam Cox
This one is cheating. It's just random 16th notes. You can put a normal 4/4 beat to this and it'd work just fine, but it's impossible to discern any measures from this mess.
Ryder Ortiz
Am I retarded or is this an actual row?
