That reminds me, I was going to ask this a few weeks ago:
I wish I could remember what the multi-timed music was called.
This came up because I was listening to watina, which is in the Garifuna language, which is a mixture of “Arawak and influenced by French, Carib and West African languages”, and was created as a way to prevent his language culture from dying out.
1. Obvious.
2. I own some Bach and Mozart.
3. Does “I hit L shift O to the quote and then dollah, if you know the dir of the nerd-core rhyme, then hollah.” count?
4. What about something like Carmina Burana? Or the Akira soundtrack?
Heck, even the Akira soundtrack may have some multi-tonal stuff on it (the gamelan stuff comes to mind), but I’m not knowledgeable enough to tell.
The akira soundtrack definitely counts for music in languages you don’t understand.
And technically speaking, songs with a bit of microtonal influence are everywhere. What I was thinking of is a particular island where they sing microtonally. I can’t remember where it is, I was listening to a music anthropologist talk about it.
nerd core? not sure, but i think that i might need more nerd core in my life.
That would be one of the pioneers of NerdCore, MC Frontalot. The lyrics are from his Penny Arcade Theme song.
Other great Nerdcore would include Optimus Rhyme and MC Chris (listen to Fett’s Vette on there)
groovy! thanks for the links. :)
You might be thinking of polyrhythm or hemiola. ;)
The former looks like what I was looking for :)
