Like the car sounds like stuck in traffic . . Sounds like maybe a culture shock when we get so much traffic that well have to have highways in the air. Out of sheer demand. At least this is what your tune made me think. The traffic cops will have to tie balloons on their back belts in order to float that high :) Cool, lots of nice stuff in there.

Ok...so this is way cool (just using a bit of So. Calif lingo there... the traffic sound effects made me do it!)

Ear toes I'm thinking. Is anyplace appropriate for you and me to discuss this sensitive subject? We may have gone too far already... (PV, don't mind us. You and your little 7/4 song go run and play.) Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

Ear toes Oh, by all means discuss ear toes right here. My feet don't hear a thing. And hey!

Ear toes It's not his real name. My sources tell me otherwise, but then, you know these former news guys... The ear toes question is just a ruse. He's looking for inside information.

This rocks like a traffic jam! Honk, honk! Did you play in traffic as a kid? Do you play in traffic now? Hopefully not you might not get to post a follow-up to this. Nice to finally hear one of your tracks after conversing with you so much. This is like a cross between prog rock, dance music and math rock, and it works! Great stuff! Now I just need to go back and listen to some of your older stuff. What did you recommend again? Check out my latest song called Fiddler Off the Roof w/Komrade K & Caroline

If you hadn't told I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't have noticed the time signature. As long you don't emphatically bang some cymbal on every 1 it is quite possible to make a flowing rhythm in any time signature. (Ok, I tried it with 13, and that's a bit tough.)

If you hadn't told You make a good point, Vic. Don't tell anyone, but I spilled the beans about the meter because I thought that would entice more listeners. I was in a band--'Beyond Repair' (I play drums)--that had a very nice, flowing section of one song that was in 11. As for 13, I think the last section of Rush's "Jacob's Ladder" is a fairly smooth 13. Thanks for listening and commenting! Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash Wish I had Five Extra Legs so I could dance in unison with this energetic and colorful production. Then I wouldn't look as stupid as I do right now waving my arms around like an injured octopus. No, in fact I'd look like the lady walking her dog in the Futurist painting by Giacomo Balla. Are you a Futurist composer? You'd certainly be the model for how one should approach such an interpenetration of movement and speed and machine age imagery. I'm floored. It would be thematically ok to give you straight 7's, but this ranks far above that. Can't wait to hear this again. How 'bout a nice round of applause (in an impossible time signature that defies math) for this gentleman! Check out my latest song called Michael Pool

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash Heheh, hey, thanks for noticing! Yes, I am in fact a futurist composer, which is why my songs are always leaving behind strobed trails. Listen to my upcoming prog rock piece that features clapping in syncopated quintuplets and 17 vs 31 polyrhythms. It may take some years to finish, but... ...thanks for listening and commenting five_extra, I'm glad you dig this piece! Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash I hope you're not pulling my extra leg about being a futurist. There's something truly magical about this composition that I can't put my finger on. Clapping in syncopated quintuplets and 17 vs 31 polyrhythms....? Hasn't that been done like a thousand times already? Do we need one more? You are one gifted noise maker strategically placed just in the right spot of an unsupervised echo chamber. Now I can go back to my pathetic 2 dimensional life and try to create another ridiculous robot love song to reassure myself that there is no room for math in my world. In the polyrhytmic words of one Dee Dee Ramone, "One, Two, Three, Four!" God bless you, Mr. P. Vortex. You are a superstar. Check out my latest song called Michael Pool

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash Not at all; I don't really label myself futurist, but I certainly identify with the futurist movement and I often do tap into an aesthetic that's driving and machinelike (Nanobot Swarm is like that too). You may be right; it's probably best to avoid the more cliched polyrhythms. Thanks for your kind words, five_extra! Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Love the 7/4. I like the 3-then-4 feel. All holds together
well. Thanks for the warning honks. As for 'dodecatonic,'
don't use foul language in your song descriptions.
