Thank you very much, and keep up the good work because we need people like you who share interesting and unique knowledge! This channel is so helpful for developing my understanding of music, especially in rhythm, where Western theory falls short! I'm curious about creating functional but unpredictable and varied rhythms. Is the best approach to start with a stable tempo, choose a compas I like, and then freely add layers with unpredictable accents on top? Can these unpredictable accents be 1/16, or should they stay as 1/8?
Thank you so much for your comment! I’m glad the videos help you clarify rhythmic concepts. You can try “random” accentuation but it’s also good to keep the dynamic of the compás. Nothing I can explain here in a few lines, but as an exercise, anything is good. And you can obviously change the subdivisions whenever you want and add silences too. Anything works as long as you understand what you are doing. Another good exercise is to transcribe and analyze dance steps for examples. Good luck! 🙃
