    They don’t; you’re just hearing polyrhythms.

    I like this video. what type of camera did you shoot it with?

  14. aaronchasemusic Says:

    the piano and strings are playing polyrhythms, however that term means the same thing as playing in a different time signature than the other instruments.

    @magic585 you are right! and when that happens they are called polyrhythms

    great work

    type in PATRIOTS325 and check out the vids! pretty funny stuff

  17. jerry101988 Says:

    It doesn’t mean the same thing as playing in a different time signature. Playing in a different time signature can cause polyrhythms, but you can also have them within the same time signature.

    @jerry101988 wait so what is a polyrhythm?

  21. jerry101988 Says:

    A polyrhythm generally SOUNDS like you’re hearing people play in two different time signatures, but very very rarely is that the case, since that makes music very difficult for a group to follow and still stay together.

    I don’t know how much you know about music, but an example of polyrhythms would be playing triplets agains eighth notes, causing a 2-against-3 feel, or triplets against sixteenth notes, causing 3-against-4. It’s just impractical for it to occur in two different time signatures.

  22. aaronchasemusic Says:

    I have a bachelors in music from berklee college of music, thats how much I know about music.

    It would impractical to NOTATE it that way, although you do see it, particularly in modern classical music.

    As in your example (which is hardly a poly rhythm, try 5 over 4): you could notate one instrument as 12/8 and one as 4/4…

    You can notate it either way.

    therefore making it, (to the ear and therefor for all purposes) the exact same thing.

  23. aaronchasemusic Says:

    to further my point, when the composer of this song decided they wanted a flute to play the polyrhythm on this song and they got a flute player and they had to write out a chart for her, how do you think they notated it? it would be incredibly hard to read when the whole passage is written as a polyrhythm, as opposed to writing her out a chart as a simple normal rhythm.

    furthering my point that either way you write it sounds the same, therefore making it the same thing.

  24. aaronchasemusic Says:

    @jerry101988

  25. jerry101988 Says:

    Well, we will just continue to disagree, so there is no point in going further. Also, 2 against 3 and 3 against 4 are still polyrhythms, though they may not be quite as complex as 5 against 4.

    And just because it SOUNDS the same doesn’t make it the same. Personally, I’d prefer to have my part written in the same time signature, so I know how it will feel in context, instead of having to first hear it. Personally, the syncopation that polyrhythms cause doesn’t bother me in reading. Oh well.
