"NewRange Copper Nickel plans to build a $1 billion open-pit mine near Babbit, Minnesota, with a processing plant near Hoyt Lakes, making the project the first copper-nickel mine in the state. It was renamed NewRange Copper Nickel in February 2023, but is still widely known as PolyMet.

The mine will be operated by Glencore and Teck who both have troubled histories of corruption & pollution."

I'm finally at an advanced enough level of understanding and counting time signatures that I can handle the crazy psychedelic band Lost Crowns and have just determined that their song Midas X-ray is initially in 3/4, but quickly develops into switching back and forth between 14/8 and 11/8 sections, then the outro is in 2/4.

This is why I wanted to learn time signatures. Because I knew for years that the kind of music I listen to gets fucking wild with it, but only because I'd heard other fans saying so.

This song is only 5:20 long btw

#draco speaks #it's really cool BC it's actually all (apart from the outro) built around 3/4 #the 11/8 and 14/8 sections could also be written as 3 bars of 3/4 followed by one bar of 2/4 or 5/4 respectively #also *something* is really weird and offbeat about that outro but I can't tell what I wonder if there's some polymeter shit happening

Minnesota Mine Delayed Again

A Minnesota mine is under dispute, with the state Supreme Court ruling that officials lied about its impact and falsified permits. Newrange Copper Nickel, or Polymet as it is usually called, is a joint venture between Polymet Mining and Teck Resources near the town of Babbitt, Minnesota. The company has been trying to complete the open-pit mine and its associated processing plant for over ten…

frame by frame king crimson is awesome it's like the lyrics are making fun of the listener for trying to dissect the polymeter. bitches will be thinking man it's so cool how robert fripp goes out of phase with adrian belew by removing one eighth note over the course of two bars of 7/8 and the lyrics are like "doubt by numbers in your own analysis LOL"

#i was just thinking about the polymeter in it cause it IS fucking cool #undoubtedly very hard to play but it's deceptively simple as a listener #jposts #drafted this a few days ago but i'm thinking about polymeter again cause it's fun. smiling serenely (embrarrassed)

my blog utilizes irregular time signatures, polymeters, syncopations and tempo changes

[glass--beach]

any thoughts on polyrhythm

like as a concept? pretty cool, though past a certain level of complexity it becomes more of a technical exercise than a compelling creative device. i think polymeter is more my style. when meshuggah realized you can put a riff in literally any time signature over a 4/4 beat and make it groove music was undeniably changed for the better

I'll be honest, this one is a banger - from concept to execution. Demo of the track below as well.

My intention coming into this patch was to revisit a patch concept I made when I had just gotten Cold Mac and was using it as a crossfader/VC panner to distribute audio back and forth between ears. One of the shortcomings of that experiment was that I didn't have any "real" LFOs, so I had Mac tuned negative and the function from Pam was asymmetrically driving it - not awful, but not exactly what I wanted.

I'll be honest, I still don't have any dedicated LFO's - just Peaks, which I always use for Envelopes, and normal old oscillators. Thankfully, though, both of my oscillators have LFO range switches, so I got a bit funky. Rather than using Pam as a clock, I'm using Banshee Reach in LFO range, with the pulse output going into Bloom which is sequencing and acting as a clock multiplier to bring everything up to a more groovy tempo.

The sine out from BR goes into Mac's survey input. Ts-L's wavefold goes through Sinc Bucina and then Mac's "left" input, and the +/- outs go into Data Bender, on which bend and break are toggled and repeats is played by hand throughout the patch to bring some excitement to the lead pluck. Wavefold is modulated by an envelope from Peaks on the same trigger as the Kick (which I'll get to later) to further integrate the rhythm.

Ts-L's PWM output goes first through Ikarie, receiving the same LFO as Mac for stereo panning, and a long envelope from Peaks on the base/unmultiplied beat to sweep the cutoff. This goes into Melotus Versio for the background texture - it's also receiving the multiplied clock and an attenuated LFO from BR to keep the movement and structure consistent.

The rhythmic structure is where this patch really gets interesting. The multiplied clock from Bloom goes into Zularic Repetitor, on which I found three complimentary patterns to structure the piece around (Gahu, Clave, and Rhumba). Mother goes into Akemie's Taiko, tuned to be like a snare with noise going into R2 and Ratio for variation. Child 1 triggers a sample and hold modulating Ts-L's wavefold. Child 2 is used to trigger SB for the main voice. However, since it is velocity/level sensitive (which I just learned), I'm running it through an attenuator first so I can control how hard the LPG is struck in different parts of the song (this is how I get the long-release, loud hits in the B section and outro, without having it blend into one long tone in the main section. Finally, Child 3 triggers the aforementioned envelope modulating wavefold, as well as the kick from ABD.

Finally, the odd part out, the hat rolls. I'm using channel 2 of Tyso-Daiko with high wavefolding and a short release to create the hats. A retrigger chokes the previous notes, so it makes each ratcheted trigger sound like its own, one-part sound. But what's triggering it? D-gate out from Telharmonic, with degree sequenced by Bloom. Earlier in the night, I'd been making the patch with tH as the main voice, but it just didn't sit right with me. The hat pattern is perfect though, so weirdly enough here I'm only using this amazing paraphonic module as a trigger sequencer - but I guess that's the joy of modular: you can do that!

That right there is the beta-version. You'll notice the sequence has a bit of polymeter going on - that's from the other Bloom channel into degree! Sadly, I filled all the timbral inputs of Ts-L or I'd have loved to carry that over, and I don't have space to rack Quantus Pax to transpose the sequence. I'll have my bigger case set up in just about a month, though, and I'm looking forward to even more elaborate sequences once I've got everything in once place like that!

no more "last thoughts of a dying man" interpretations on tmbw this is the only thing i wanma read from now on. tell me about the chord progression or keep it to yourself (from "i can't remember the dream")

image transcript:

Just a bit of nerdy rhythm stuff

The verses are a three-chord loop with two beats per chord. However, every other chord is delayed by an eighth note. So it takes 3 bars of 4/4 OR 2 bars of 6/4 for the I chord to land satisfyingly on a downbeat.

The melody, meanwhile, is 18 beats long, 4½ bars of 4/4 OR 3 bars of 6/4.

So, if you're thinking about this verse as 9 bars of 4/4, the vocal melody consists of a 4½-bar phrase sung twice, while the rhythm guitar part consists of a 3-bar phrase played 3 times. OR, if you're thinking about it as 6 bars of 6/4, the vocal melody consists of a 3-bar phrase sung twice, while the rhythm guitar part consists of a 2-bar phrase played 3 times. Either way, it goes through one complete cycle of an 18:12 (3:2) polymeter and the second iteration of the vocal melody is sung over the exact same chords as the first, but every chord that was previously off the beat is now on and vice versa.

Any way you slice it, it's cool! It sounds extremely repetitive and yet it never quite repeats itself because all its repetitious constituents are out of sync with each other. This reflects the repetition in the lyrics, as well as the general mood of monomania and frustration. The inability to reconcile a waking and a dreaming life is mirrored in the song's apparent failure to synchronize its chords and melody. A clever bit of word painting!

tl;dr The chord progression in the verse is 12 beats long and the vocal melody is 18 beats long. It makes a big 3:2 polymeter that takes a while to repeat. It feels out of sync with itself, which reflects the inability to reconcile a waking and a dreaming life.

#ignore me #they might be giants #but seriously i want people to explain the music end of things to me more. i don't know any music theory so it's wicked interesting #open call for people to tell me the neatest fact they know about the instrumentation in any given tmbg song

What’s the most heinous time signature you’ve played?

Right now my band are working on a song based on a 13/8 riff with a 4/4 polymeter on top and it's a nightmare but also so much fun to nail it

Do u have anymore Nathan explosion autism thoughts? I love how Charles gets ppl who call him dumb or tonto killed

hell yeah i do 🤘

some things i've already mentioned: very blunt, bad at lying (even when it's considered acceptable, e.g. to be polite), doesn't always understand jokes, announcing/explaining his feelings out loud

other stuff i've picked up on: poor volume control, having a safe food (potato chips), learning new things by relating them to his interests (thinking about polymeters to understand math), struggling to feel empathy, following instructions very literally

just for funsies headcanons: stims vocally by growling and physically by whipping his hair around, and rubbing his nails (keeps them painted for a nice texture), very sensitive to bright lights and the sounds electric appliances make, really likes bitter flavors but can't handle anything sour, has poor fine motor control so all of his shoes have zippers or buckles instead of laces, tries too hard to maintain "normal" eye contact so he just ends up staring, likes to organize his stuff into lines or grids <3

and finally, yes i love it when charles brings out the extreme violence protocols when somebody disrespects his most special boy in the world. they are autism4autism to me

Björk - Homogenic Review

I heard Björk’s 3rd album, Homogenic, as part of going through her discography for the first time. I heard the standard version. She’s quickly becoming one of my favorite singers; I love the timbre of her voice, and her passionate style. I guess this is her most famous album? I dunno, but I’m happy to report it’s a banger.

“Hunter” starts the album with a moody combination of spooky, reversed-sounding atmosphere, stuttery drum machine hits, and daunting strings. It sets the tone of the album well, and it’s pretty good stuff. Apparently the lyrics are about her feelings of newfound fame in the music industry at the time. It’s a great beginning to the album – stating that she’ll keep hunting for new sounds no matter what.

“Jóga” is actually the song that introduced me to Björk, when someone sent me it in a DM. But it had been a while since I heard it, and I wasn’t prepared for the fucking epicness this track unleashes. Two minutes in you get the first shit-hits-the-fan moment of the album, where a thick, distorted drum beat and groovy, perfectly-modulated electronic bassline suddenly BURST into the 2nd chorus. The strings are incredible; her vocals are passionate; everything about it is amazing. I think there’s even a polymeter? I dunno, this shit is crazy. The lyrics seem to cover a hefty amount of themes too, including her love of Iceland and how it shaped her.

“Unravel” is a pretty laid back tune with slow, washed-out drums. I love the somber atmosphere and how the drums become distorted, but it’s mostly carried by her gorgeous vocal melodies. The lyrics are also an interesting description of when 2 people leave each other, then reconnect.

“Bachelorette” is another incredibly epic piece, with a large variety of booming percussion, dramatic strings you should always expect from Björk, and even a NASTY piano bassline. At this point, the album really seems like it wants to blow your mind every other song.

Oh, did I say every “other” song? “All Neon Like” is hands-down my favorite track on this album. I’ve never heard anything like it. It begins with possibly one of the most beautiful, ethereal melodies I’ve ever heard, before bringing an extremely interesting hyper-distorted drum beat. Then after 2 minutes you’re greeted with THAT fucking synth. Extremely noisy but not too harsh, playing a rhythm so groovy and quirky I can’t help but dance while smiling like an idiot. It fits SO well with the drum rhythm, too.

“5 years” is a fun-sounding song with a cute synth, playful bassline, and the distorted drums you should expect from this album. It’s very euphoric when the strings come in, and the song is an empowering expression of unrequited love.

“Immature” begins with a sampled vocal and jungle d&b-esque bassline, before delivering yet another show-stopper moment, where the bass gets heavier and it becomes groovy as fuck. What do you expect from this album by this point? I love how the lyrics convey growing past the popular notion that you need someone else to complete you, and she gives one of the sauciest Björk-growls I’ve heard from her in a while. If you know what I’m talking about, you know.

“Alarm Call” has a wonderful mix of awesome hip-hop beats, industrial vibes, and psychedelic synths. It’s a super fun listen, and a joyous expression of nature and love for music.

“Pluto” sounds like the kind of dystopian nightmare Hiroyuki Sawano would make, with ridiculously aggressive synths and drums. I love hearing the Björk-growl with that kind of distortion, but the song really doesn’t do much for me melodically or compositionally. I love the lyrics though; they’re kind of hilarious as well. Seriously, if you’ve never heard this album, at least look up the lyrics for Pluto and get a good laugh.

“All Is Full of Love” ends the standard edition of the album with really beautiful ambience full of reverb. The sounds expand pretty nicely as it goes on.

This album is amazing, and after 3 albums I feel like I now fully understand Björk’s solo work as mostly focused on sound selection and design, and her incredible singing. Her lyrics are always cryptic but fun to analyze, too. The last 2 tracks might not do much for me at this current time, but I was fully on board beforehand, and it’s insane how many flat-out BANGERS this record has. 4.5/5 Talk to me in a few months and it might be a 5

There's something delicious about kissing your combat doll. Its gently curved polymetal lips that meet yours but do not yield. The way it squirms helplessly in your grasp, you wouldn't think it could pick you up and throw you. That danger just makes it more fun to pin it down
