Disorientation
By Saguaro Gigante on January 11, 2026 11:46 pm
Wasn't expecting to have to speedrun a track so early in the year, but it was quite a busy week and then I had family over all weekend and almost forgot that today I had to make a track! Wasn't sure what to do with this one but experimented with layering rhythmic elements on top of each other.
Since I wasn't going to have something I could sink a lot of time into, I tried to use this week's submission to experiment more with odd meter grooves. I used to listen to quite a lot of music that had odd meters but I don't seem to really write music like that. Or at least I never made much of an attempt to. In addition to other goals of mine for this year, experimenting with new rhythms is one that I have. This track is in 11/8 for the most part, but I was trying to feel it like a phrase of two bars in 2/4 followed by short bar. There was a section where I went to a 2/4 feel and then back to the 11/8 groove. Some of the transitions are a bit rough but after listening back to it a couple times after submitting it, I think I've learned a couple things I use for future attempts.
