put some light on the term "offbeat"

[gunjack]

Pure Hating?

Brian first of all money....
You were not even addressed in my text, so if Matt has something to tell me
Let homeboy tell me himself, stop playing big brother trying to stand in front of bullets.
I found absolutely nothing ground breaking about that track, and I am fully entitled to my opinion. You're right I don't like the vocal, I didn't care for the kick or the timing of it either.
I do believe I even threw a compliment towards you and your efforts in this particular genre we are speaking of, so think again before attempting to insult my knowledge or what I know. I am not hating on something if I think the jawn is asscheeks, we all have opinions and as a public forum I am entitled to speak my piece as are you as is he. I am sure your record will sell based on your merits alone regardless.

Cheers

if theres anything gay in techno, its techno substyles consisting of 5 artists that are recycling each other, but calling themselves proper. :xsmile:

hitting at ya neighbours there koma ;)

[RDR]

well, I always found your broken beat techno to be a good example of how to carry it out properly. Rather than making a typical techno beat and then shifting the kick, you reworked the groove to play against the new kick arrangement.
More of a hip hop mentality, but with techno abstraction.
I`d love to see that kind of thing get fully accepted into techno.

The good side of the hip-hop mentality that is...

not the ho's and bling, fun while it lasted, but not my cuppa these days..

as for broken techno.. bleep techno.. wonky techno.

by its very nature it seeks not to conform. hence the confusion. besides if its good music who gives a crap.

To be honest I think broken beat is brilliant if it is done well and cuts with the groove... not just off the 4x4 almost for the sake of it - - I start to run away and hide if that's the case...:wot:

[clubsynthetic]

I always though offbeat meant in a 4/4 time signature, the off beat is the beat in between the bass kick beats. one would double beat two records on the off beat no?

[The Overfiend]

man tony you don't even know what you are talking about "broken time signature"?! maybe talk less and learn more.

Yeah take music theory and you'll know what I am talking about.

[force]

Oi Deaf!

Really liking this release. Will it be available for digital download?











*please say yes please say yes*

As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as a broken time signature.

There are odd time signatures, sure, and you can mix them up, say go from 4/4 to 3/4 and then back to 4/4, but the term "broken time signature" is not something I have encountered in music theory.

There are compound time signatures which can be very complex, and it is extremely rare to find them within techno, and then going further into the more complex you have, complex, assymetric and irregular time signatures.

none of these however can be called "broken time signatures".

I now take off my nerd specs, and go back to boshing out beats in the studio.

[Jay Pace]

I've done plenty of theory and never seen it.

Theory was ****ing tedious stuff to pile through though. Maybe the exact terms differ across the seas....

[The Overfiend]

I was addresing the time signature and called it broken to use as a reference point for discussion but the lot of you understood my exact point.
