Mike Mangini Time Signatures and Why
This video shows me playing the end of AVFTTOTW.
I give commentary after the first music clip.
Some viewers simply want to listen and not necessarily know anything about time signatures. Yet when people's body movements coincide with music, magic happens.
Others who either want to play this, or just feel a different kind of joy, can indeed learn to.
I'm showing the benefit of understanding musical phrases like this, but more, I'm leading to a very misunderstood and contested point:
- that a certain kind of counting makes one feel "free," not burdened.
I'm referring to the philosophies and Cognitive Science based methods of Rhythm Knowledge. These take us through what seems like a House of Mirrors to a place of pretty incredible music joy.
