Toxtricity 03/24/22 5:12:55 AM #253:	40rd Game: DYAD Title: Jupiter Composer: David Kanaga Nominator: @Place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6lsUXs_91c 90s sounds?!?! metric modulation?!?!?! cool sythms and rhythms. HAS THAT SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE INSANE TOAD PATROL EPISODE SONG. [[I was referring to this sound in the background at 16:42 here...I really love the soundtrack to this show: https://youtu.be/iIJ_JRY-jwE?t=1002 ]] is this polyrhythmic/polymetric? I can't tell but it is definitely rhythmically adventurous with lots of layers on top of each other, i guess polymetric would be the best way to describe this. there's a few parts with loop points that are definitely not 4/4 while everything beneath still remains that way. At first I thought the polyrhythmic and similar elements might not actually be deliberate, and were rather just a product of the crazy production with reversing sounds. But that weird breakbeat reversing and slowing down just before the triplets come in at :28. Thats definitely there as a deliberate rhythmic lead in to that element. I also like how the ascending triplets aren't lined up to groups of three, so the grid they exist within gets offset in a cool way. This isn't common enough to see i think, it's such an easy thing to do theoretically, but triplets just tends to mean that each group of 3 notes is treated as a separated set of 3 notes over and over. I'm glad this goes into a world i'm used to only seeing in DCI. I guess single track I've heard that does something like that to the most insistent extent is this track "Quadlit" by nmlstyl: nmlstyl - quadilt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC5TaAR9IqI jupiter does the thing that that one Oneohtrix Point Never song does where...one of the most common rhythms (3+3+2) ironically sounds incredibly erratic, basically because its so fast: Oneohtrix Point Never - I Bite Throught It https://youtu.be/jt5tRaV3iY0 Another song with a similar property is "Escape from a Lab" from Spriggan Lunar Verse (a track i have a suspicion is uncredited Kota Hoshino of Evergrace fame) SPRIGGAN LUNAR VERSE - Escape from A Lab https://youtu.be/MYSdmL8FG50 I suspect the strangeness in all 3 of these cases intentional given who wrote them and the compliment to the general already strange sound. But it is probably something that could incidentally sound way weirder than intended by accident, if these 3+3+2 rhythms in a really normal song using them, got sped way up and now once familiar patterns instead sound like the crazy world. i'm glad though that i can feel as if these tracks are intentionally going for this subversion of familiarity, through what's ironically one of the most familiar rhythms this honestly kinda feels like what would happen if kota hoshino wrote music for a super monkey ball clone or something. or like a namiki-imitating shmup song. something less mecha dark than armored core, but that style still applied to futuristic dnb or whatever. i love that it just blasts you off with that huge chord and the erratic drums jumpin around right in your face; that full burst of energy i get when i see the rotating stage spinning around when i make it to a new level group in super money ball man this song paints the imagery on the album art well --- time <cite>Toxtricity posted [p:963709485] in Mycro rank...
