Sounds like 5/4 to me. At least at the start.

Tarkus is a lot of 5/4 and then it actually goes into 4/4 at about 1:00. some of the 'transitions' seem like bars of 6/4(?)
Mahavishnu (just the main riff from 0:13 to 0:55) ... Hint: the tempo is quick. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I counted and thought 5/8 but I see that it's really 5/4. How can I hear if it's x/4 or x/8?
Thanks! |

This would probably be a good question for Matt (the prof).
Don't feel too bad, it's not always so easy to tell. As a very very general rule listen for the individual beats. For example: if the phrasing feels like the first vid that Cos posted, (Take 5) in 5/4, and you can def feel and hear the individual beats with a big accent on beats 5 and 4 then 5/4 is a good guess. Another general rule - if it's 'fast' think of it in x/8 ... 'slow' - x/4 Also, when listening, try to determine if there's another subdivision that you feel/hear. In 6/8 as opposed to 6/4 we tend to feel it in 2 - 1₂₃ 2₂₃ ... as opposed to a very even 123456. A lot of the determining has a lot to do with how the writer wrote it. 5/8 and 6/8 are pretty easy to write beamed 1/8 notes for the subdivision of the measure. Some decent example on a wiki page ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintuple_meter No great explanation as to why though.

21/8 for the S. Wilson? (or 21/4 - it's kind of slow feeling)
Or a 'compound' time sig - one bar of 10/8 and one bar of 11/8 maybe? 10½ / 4 ... ? This post has been edited by klasaine: Feb 23 2013, 05:21 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

You know what? - though it's phrased in larger groupings of 21 ... now I just think it's 7/8 (with 3 bar phrases).
It's a lot simpler to count that way, lol! -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

More Mahavishnu. Why do I post a lot Maha Orch? This band is the mac daddy of odd times in a rock/jazz context. If you can get the time sigs in this $h1t - you can get anything!
This one has multiple answers (that's a hint actually). There's two different feels in this tune, 0:11 - 0:44 and at 2:52. Both are in the same time sig (or multiple of). *One of the best (and most influential) albums for 'hearing' odd time sigs is Don Ellis' - "Electric Bath". Nothing on the record is in 4/4 but it's all pretty straight forward and relatively easy to hear. It's actually big band jazz from the late '60s - but don't let that scare you - it's super hip (even today) and it influenced EVERYBODY who was doing anything that was slightly prog or fusion at the time and I'm sure still today. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...0.0...0.0...1ac.
