    @FinleyTressler 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Some great modulation stuff in here. In my very unprofessional opinion, I don't think that thinking in percentages is a good approach to thinking about modulations. Once you know how you modulating relative to the subdivision your using it can be nice to know that but I certainly wouldn't use it as a starting point. You can end up with much more abstract modulations if you think from a subdivision prespective(at least I think so). For example, with your 7/4 idea you have if you were to accent every 7th 16th note then your implying 4/4 as septuplets and then if you were to play the original 7/4 idea as a polymeter over the new pulse it could be cool. That approach is thinking more polyrhythmically as opposed just accenting a random number from a subdivision. That approach also has its benefits as well. Those just some thoughts. Great video!

    • @andrewrathbun176
      @andrewrathbun176 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Glad you enjoyed the video. I have also used the approach you describe as well. I thought that approaching the change in tempo as a percent would be interesting to explore, and maybe yield a different result? More “food for thought” than anything else.

  • @yannmondehard4171
    @yannmondehard4171 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wouldn't it be more approachable to see what's possible with the subdivisions that you like to use rather than choosing a % of the speed and forcing numbers that you've never used before. The 3:4 to 4:3 sounds neat though. You can also play in 7 by playing 4 dotted 8ths followed by 3 half triplets. Now it could be fun to add on dotted 8th or one more triplet?

    • @JazzComposersPresent
      @JazzComposersPresent 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching Yann! It's all about experimentation, so whether it's % or subdivisions or any other approach the goal is to find and try new sounds until we get something we really like. Plenty more full-length masterclasses on the website -- www.jazzcomposerspresent.com

    • @AndrewRathbunMusic
      @AndrewRathbunMusic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sure, that is a possible approach as well. I was just interested in exploring what these shifts illustrated in the video might sound like, and how I might use them in a piece. I like asking the question "what if I" when trying to think of new approaches.

    occult knowledge. I guess sus chords are always "going somewhere" (the tonic is seriously unmoored) and the bass is the only clue that might indicate where that might be, which might be a very odd place, and the "ugliness" comes from realising that, despite the confidence of the performance, we're not going somewhere friendly: "Damn, the car broke down and now it's raining. Didn't we see a castle back there?"

    I had lots of fun in my jazz singing life writing arrangements of standards. Reharmonizing, groove stuff, much like what you are doing here. So many standards are wonderful compositions, but they get tiresome when always done the same way. I love what you did with Night and Day. Of course when you do interesting stuff with a tune, you'd better write a really clear chart so the reading won't wreck the gig for the band. (teehee)

    I was fortunate enough to attend the last Lake Placid Seminar in 2002. Rufus already had some great tunes in his repertoire. Being around Brookmeyer, McNeely and Billy Hart was pretty inspiring. It's fascinating to consider that Rufus started playing bass as an adult. Also, that he became serious about composing after a long and successful career as a player and educator. Everything that Rufus does is thoughtful, deeply personal and highly artistic. Thanks for this video.

    love it. endless permutations within simple parameters. the voices moving together in this piece reminds me of a chorale or other classical structure.
