Obsessing 7 with Animals as Leaders - Behaving Badly

The first thing I said when I heard this band was.... where's the bass? I mean real bass, not the 8th string tuned down & played by a guitarist. I immediately dismissed them... Somehow they got back into my player... perhaps it was the pull of the 7 & 9s.. hummmmm So here they are Behaving Badly, maybe because they are giving the finger to four & skipping that last anticipated beat resulting in that magical number 7... (and 6 & 3).

Animals as Leaders - Behaving Badly 7/4, 6/4, 3/4

Happy 3/4

FYI - 3/4 is NOT odd time....

(I am sure that you already know that...)

But it can be fun to use for variation in your writing..... and its not just for Waltzes anymore

I have two favorite examples:
Iron Maiden -

"Still Life"

off of Piece of Mind - beginning starts in 3/4

Symphony X -

"Revelation Divus Pennae Ex Tragoedia "

a good part of the song is in 3/4 so very cool (they also incorporate 5/4, 4/4, (5/8 + 13/8), (13/8 + 14/8)) I was impressed...

Oddly Yours,
