Now the song just perfectly matches Sans' mood as a whole. He could have the song play in the common 4/4 but he doesn't feel like it, nor does he feel like following any rules. And 69 is the funny number.
@@weilder.freude I'm a "self taught" keyboardist of 5 years, but I've been playing drumset since I was 3, and I'm 16 now, so I'd say I'm strictly non-tuned percussion (I forget what it's called)
@@mkxpro55 Oo thats interesting. Im so late lol. But thats actually quite interesting, tuned and non tuned percussion. I myself have been playing piano for a few years, on and off though due to school
as funny as this is being in haha 69/16 time this is actually a rlly good example of y u almost never see rlly big time signatures in actual music. it's far too complicated to expect a musician to reasonably understand 69 sixteenth notes over the course of a measure rather than just breaking it down into smaller time signatures !!!
This is absolutely a valid meter. 69 is only divisible by 3, which makes it a ternary rhythm, meaning that the groove is felt in threes. If this meter were to be conducted, each measure would have 23 beats, each consisting of three 16th note subdivisions. (One and a two and a three and a… until 23 and a) The big problem is that much of the beaming in this score is NOT done in groups of three 16th notes, which creates funky and inconsistent rhythmic groupings that make reading the score extremely difficult. If all beams started and ended at each of the 23 beats, the score would make a lot more sense.
@@Jwellsuhhuh You raise good points. But just to elaborate on my thought process for this: The funky and inconsistent rhythmic groupings add to the comedic value, in my opinion, while adding a fun off-kilter feeling. And it's only inconsistent if you look at it from a micro-level. On a larger scale, each measure is grouped consistently as a pattern of 7+10 + 8+10 + 7+11 + 7+9. (But yes, beaming it this way does make the music harder to read, which is why I had to write in the numbers as substitute-barlines.) Grouping 69 into 3 equal groups of 23 makes sense, but not necessarily for the way I arranged this song in particular. It felt more intuitive to me to condense Megalovania's original 4-measure phrases (64 16th notes) into one measure of 69/16, which meant transforming each measure from the original song into a group of 16, 17, or 18 16th notes within a measure of 69. Grouping 69 as 3x23 would make it a bit awkward to fit 4-measure phrases into it. If you extend a measure of 4/4 into a grouping of 23 16th notes, then the first 4-measure phrase would end about midway into the second measure of 69, which doesn't feel right. If you're still trying to fit the original 4-measure phrases inside a measure of 69/16 while grouping it as 3x23, then it wouldn't feel like 3x23 anymore. A more sensible way to group 69/16 while maintaining the feeling of 4-measure phrases would probably be 17+17+17+18. But what's the fun in that? :) Arranging a 69/16 piece with groupings of 23 could probably work better for pieces felt in triple-time or pieces with 3-measure phrases. Regardless, thanks for the food for thought. I encourage any experimentation with this funny weird meter!
I love how the comments are all people who clearly know the pain and suffering of trying to practice a piece they like, but it's so complicated that you're forced to slow down until it becomes muscle memory.
Why are my music theory exams like this? As a drummer there’s no need for such complicated rhythms, just put “make it swingy” at the top so you know to make it swingy
I chose 69/16 ‘cause so far I surprisingly haven’t seen anyone else compose with it (and I wanted to make this at least somewhat playable, theoretically). However, I encourage any composers/arrangers interested and unhinged enough to tackle that beast of 420/69!
@@SPCOOKIE no, the top number is how many beats in a measure and the bottom number determines what the length of the beat is. For example, you can have a time signature of 4/3, where there are four beats per measure, but a beat would be 1/3 of a whole note (I'm not sure if there is a name for this length of note). For 420/69, there would be 420 beats per measure (this would be absolute hell for the conductor, I'd assume) and each beat would be 1/69 of a whole note If someone else thinks I got something wrong, I probably did, feel free to correct me.
@@CheDaCheez The only downside about using irrational time signatures like this is that without other time signatures to reference, dividing the whole note into different values makes no difference. 4/3, 4/4, 4/5, and 4/69 would all sound completely similar when isolated.
@@SPCOOKIE The bottom number is almost always a power of 2, but it doesn't have to be. If it's not a power of 2, then I think it's called an irrational time signature

Ya’ll be joking but iirc sparing only Jerry is good enough for the genocide route.
You’d have to spare someone else. Like… Vulcan.

He's extremely concerned.

That seems pretty accurate, not gonna lie.

This sound like when you forget how a part in the song goes, so you slow down, but constantly.

This is what it feels like to be running and feel like you’re going to vomit
