Re: Predictable rhythms |
Nerd Alert.
Its pretty fascinating ring...Its pretty much using the same principles that Differential Equations in that the rate of change(or predictability) of the rhythm directly affects the overall enjoyment of the music. You have two constantly changing relationships that are linked. More repeatable equals more enjoyment in this abstract.
The way it was explained to me when I took DiffEQ was to think about a homicide investigation. The temp of the body is affected by the temp of the air, and both factors in the relationship are directly related and constantly changing. SO, cooler it is - the faster the body will cool. Kinda morbid but it makes the point perfectly.
This is crazy right here -
"Although music compositions are intended to be performed, the fact that the notated rhythms follow a 1/f spectrum indicates that such structure is no mere artifact of performance or perception, but rather, exists within the written composition before the music is performed"
So when the rhythm follows this structure the music is already proven good without even being played yet?
That's a bold statement...

Re: Predictable rhythms |
It is fascinating, a bit much for my tiny brain. You're right though, the implications of it being proven good before playing are a little boggling.
If the Grateful Dead played in the forest, and no one heard them, would they still be a great band?
