What the hell is going on in King Crimson's Frame by Frame?? 

Idk if you're still fielding suggestions but I'd love to see you break down some tool

This one, Sheltering sky and Perfect pair are my fav songs by KC

I see what u did thar

And Belewolous once Adrian joined !! : D

Frippadigous.

Hahaha, oddly enough, I know exactly which part you are talking about! And yeah that's crazy, I tried playing it, my fingers are definitely not fast enough.

You mean this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4wbMpB1qAcs.html ?

I don't know, man, I just don't know.

Hold my Beer i have to press the like Button on your comment

this isnt math rock

@@user-qe5uv1cj1x it was a joke, dickweed. Why so serious? Smh

Math rock is different genre. This is prog

WoWZeniks I can play this song on guitar just from listening and playing it by ear but I don’t really understand time signatures except just 4/4 what does 7/8 and 13/8 actually mean if you can explain it in words I don’t know but just thought I’d ask

@@itchieG In 7/4 time, the 7 is the number of beats in the measure, 4 represents 1/4, or quarter, notes. 13/8 would be 13 eighth (1/8th) note beats. In this case, 13/8 is created by shaving one 1/8th note off of 7/4, which in double time would be 14/8. Its 14/8 being played at the same time as 13/8, causing a one riff to fall behind in time. When the two riffs briefly realign, thats the equivalent of a race car falling so far behind that it gets lapped by the lead car, and at that moment you have listened to the sound of the progression of a racecar being lapped, frame by frame. Its a metaphor for life, like we are constantly falling behind but we dont know it because every now and then everything seems like its in perfect harmony, before descending back into chaos, in an endless cycle until we die. Okay... im high as hell right now, does any of that make sense? Big ups from Birmingham, Alabama, where everyone is dumb but we have a firm grasp on music theory. #Salute

more complex than that - it is Steve Reich inspired "phase shift". in one section they are both playing 7/8...and then after 4 measures Ade keeps going in 7, while Fripp drops a half-beat, and that's what puts them out of sync. they aren't out of sync initially. Discipline does this, too.

and Ade demonstrated this in a solo interview one time a few years back during the Crimson ProjeKct days

Richard Godwin In this context it’s really easier to think about the riff, rather than the underlying polymeter. Both parts are playing to the same pulse. One part is 7 8th notes long (7/8) and keeps repeating. The second part is that same 7 note part, and then the same pattern minus one note, in other words, it’s only 6 notes long. You could say it’s a measure of 7/8 followed by a measure of 6/8, but it’s easier to look at it as a complete pattern of 13 notes, or 13/8 because it’s 13 8th notes long. Both guitars continue to play the same 8th note patterns, on the same beats. It’s just that on every 14th note, the second guitar’s pattern shifts by one note. So it’s a 7/8 over 13/8 polymeter. You could say it’s 14/8 over 13/8, but the primary pattern sounds “complete” at the end of each 7 notes. I don’t know if that clears things up or not.

I see someone likes to watch Adam Neely

It's called a Polyrhythm

@@SterlingSimmons22 it isn't a polyrhythm as they don't fit in the same bar. It's more along the lines of polymeter

Indonesian Gamelan Orchestras is what he has said were his main influence.

Pretty probable, I read once that Bobby and Ade met for the first time at a Steve Reich concert

Couldn't agree more!

Ok, I should have finished watching before commenting, but that's it. Fripp is directly inspired by composer Steve Reich. Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lzkOFJMI5i8.html

Actually, it's the second to last note - the B.

no its not

@@HerbalistGuybrush Shut up you absolute fucking clown

Poignant, powerful. If zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance was a poem... wizards @ work.

More like the third, fourth or fifth iteration of King Crimson. If you go by lead singers you have Lake, Wetton and then Belew. But there is the Lizard/Islands era in between Lake and Wetton.

And of all time... may I add ❤️🇷🇴🇬🇧

Some the 68 stuff is nice. I prefer the Discipline album style, overall.

King Crimson is Fripp's solo career backed by some awesome musicians

isn't that 14 and 13 notes?? (7 and 6.5 beats)

@@mensamoo Yep, you're right. It's 7/8 against 13/8. Adrian plays 13 measures of 7/8 while Robert plays 7 measures of 13/8.

@@andyharman3022 "Robert plays 7 measures of 13/8" Could it also be written as 13 measures of 13/16 though?

Watch his TED talk

Be careful what you wish for. My elephant won't shut up about 9/11 conspiracies.

There is a video on RU-vid where he shows this. It's part if the series "Live in Frejus", but there are a few videos where he plays live.

if i remember correctly, 7empest was inspired partly by Frame by Frame

matches the main 46&2 refrain rhythm too

Soul is subjective. This song, the album it's from and KC in general have more to this listener than all the pop divas and major label singing products all combined. Most people are conditioned to think that soul only happens when there are blue notes, bent strings and over blowing. I couldn't disagree more. Wozzeck and the Rite of Spring have tons of soul, the composers put themselves fully into their compositions. Soul comes in many styles and forms.

I mean, it doesnt erase time, it adds another signature because its phasing ;)

Lmao, thought you weren't gonna get it, everyone watches jojo these days ?

It just works

Its a polymeter

Plot twist; the keyboards are actually Belew vocals and harmonies with a ton of reverb. 🤯

Yeah but in a good way right? ;)

If you watch the video again you see the other guitarist at 2:50

Adrian is very adept at looping, see his power trio, I saw them live and he uses loops all the time. If he looped one phrase and played the other it would do the same thing.

"Better things" as in leaving comments under videos you don't deem to be worth your time? Maaaybe don't watch it then?

@@helgijonsson3537 You're not witty. I watched it until I realized I was wasting my time.

Also look up: peter fripp and the leagie of crafty guitarists. Its pretty crazy

*Robert Fripp

polymetric

suuuuddenly

That is bored

Henrique Oliveira I see a JoJo fan

The end result is all that matters

JoJo fans ? Lol

Actually, this is not an example of a polyrhythm. The two guitars are playing equally long notes, but in different time signatures. The proper term for it is "polymeter".

Not a polyrhythm
