After watching a classical composer’s music analysis video of Kendrick Lamar’s Alright https://youtu.be/qw_kAcPDpE0 , I was inspired to create an odd time signature hip-hop track. There was a claim in the video that hip-hop rarely uses odd time signatures, so I thought I would attempt it. I started with setting up Korg Gadget in 7/8 time, this ended up having a non western feel and decided to go with a gypsy scale. The samples in the beginning are from a 1960’s sci-fi film in the public domain called The Brain That Wouldn’t Die. I chopped these up in Koala sampler, and layered them over guitar I recorded inside Gadget’s amp sim.
If I had any MC skills I would have liked to spit some bars on this, and really fleshed out the whole odd time hip-hop vibe, but instead, I just took it in a totally different direction. Switched the second half into a warbled pop thing. Maybe I’ll break this into 2 different songs in the future…
