      Probably, I understood it perfectly and I was toking through the whole thing.
      Here's the really short answer: a quarter note is a quarter of a whole note, an eighth note is an eighth of a whole note... extend that logic and a twentieth note is a twentieth of a whole note. You need to use a tuplet to write it, but it's clearly definable with standard notation. Now make a bar that's 4 of those 20th notes. That's a 4/20 bar.

    • @havokmusicinc
      @havokmusicinc 4 года назад +9

      Yes, you could. If memory serves, in his piece/video "world of 5 and 7" Manjunath B.C. uses this kind of offset rhythm through konokkol. Though, in his case the beat stays consistent and only the melody becomes offset by 1/20, rather than having an irregular meter as in the guys' case in this video.

    • @TheSquareOnes
      @TheSquareOnes 4 года назад +3

      You can but it's missing the modulation aspect. The original 6/4 rhythm would be counted that way but after the modulation they're treating the groupings of 5 as quarter notes, technically making them groupings of 4. That's why there was the weird group of 3.2 left over, which you'd have to speak as three syllables followed by a fifth of a syllable somehow.
      I think this approach would still be a viable way to learn the meter though, if you got the length of the "ta-di-gi-na-ka" ingrained well enough to the point where you could accurately keep time by only marking the "ta" and leaving the rest silent. Then you'd have to learn how to feel a 4/4 backbeat there while keeping that pulse consistent at the exact same rate but keeping the "ta-ka-di-mi" at the end at the original pace.
      Did any of that make sense? I'm vaguely aware of that system of counting but not well enough to know if an explanation like that is helpful to someone well versed in it. If you're familiar with polyrhythms another way to say it is that if you take a 5:4 polyrhythm you'd count the ta-di-gi-na-ka as the 5 but actually be playing the 4 instead, then at the end of the part switch back to playing the 5 but return to the downbeat after only four of the tuplets.

    The thing that amuses me the most here is that your band is speaking a language that few people are at all interested in and even fewer people truly understand...and you’re all so fluent that you can make jokes about “nesting a triplet in 4/20”. That means nothing to the bulk of humanity and it’s an inside joke to you guys. That’s fn amazing thank you

    So, you are saying that half the measures are in 4/4. Easy!

  • @pseudotonal
    @pseudotonal 4 года назад +4

    I created this concept over 30 years ago. I would have called this one you're covering 5:4-1. This means that I subdivide the note into 5 but only have it last for 4 of those subdivisions. I sometimes used the concept for example as 3:2-1 or 3:2+1. You just have to suddenly shift to a triplet feel (easy to conceive) but just subtract or add a third for that beat. But saying 4/20 implies there is such a thing as a 20th note. If you use 16ths, then there is no 20th note necessary, just a measure divided into 20 equal parts. The concept of the denominator being other than binary was explored by Henry Cowell, but that is only for notation purposes. In traditional notation you only need to notate it as 20:16, or more simply 4 groups of 5:4. It all depends upon whether the performer can read the score or whether he is playing solely by ear. But creating a bottom number of 20 or anything non-binary is patently silly for written music notation.

    Instead of a measure of 4:4 and a measure of 4:20 can't you convey the same idea using Carlos Chavez's fractional time signature notation writing the whole thing as a measure of (4 4/5):4?

    Amazing video! Really loved the groove of the tune! Someone like Thomas Ades would probably be tempted to write it as alternating bars of 4/4 and 1/5 (not so much of a ring to it, alas) - obviously, when this is written out, you don't need to nest any tuplets (visually) as they'd just be three in the space of one and the would-be 4 quintuplets would be written as plain 16th notes (as they might have been at 5:31 in this video - but I can see why you wrote it this way for demonstration purposes).

    Couldn’t you also write the time signature as 2/10? Or 1/5 for that matter? Cause a 10th note would just be instead of a 16th note quintuplet, an 8th note quintuplet, and a 5th note would be a quarter note quintuplet? You could just write a measure of 4/4, and then a measure of 1/5.
