Protest Music Festival at IhumÄtao this saturday!
Posted by tomachi on February 27th, 2019 filed in GigsI've been invited to play - with my band The Triptonites - at this interesting event on the weekend - a democratic takeover of what's technically a Fletcher owned title. Parliament now needs to step in and purchase it from FBU is my call. Official site: www.protectihumatao.com If you have not, please Sign The Petition

Essentially this land was stolen from the natives at the start of the land wars, Leonie Hayden puts it well in her article on the matter:
IhumÄtao, a west-facing peninsula on the shore of Auckland’s Manukau Harbour, is the city’s oldest settlement. In 1863, the land was illegally confiscated from MÄori. Sacred hills were quarried, 800-year-old burial sites were demolished, archaeological remains were destroyed, a sewage-treatment plant was built over traditional fishing grounds, and a dye spill killed the local creek. Now IhumÄtao has been designated a Special Housing Area, without public consultation, and a development of nearly 500 houses is in progress. But for some tangata whenua, enough is enough.

Drum kit demo: Polyrhythmic snare 3 against 4 over fast jazz swing 8 bars
Posted by tomachi on July 11th, 2018 filed in Drums, VideosThis is a drum kit demonstration. A polyrhythm is when you can discern while listening more than one main beat tempos and that these do not sub divide into each other by multiples of 2. So a beat which contains tempos like 50, 100 and 200 is not a polyrhythm, but if you can hear tempos like 50, 75 and 80 all at once, then what you have there may very well be described as a polyrhythm. Mathematically speaking the tempo numbers make up the odd order fractions: thirds, fifths, sixths, sevenths, but not eighths or twelves if that makes sense. The even order ones are debatable in my opinion.
Tuplets
However polyrhythms are not tuples, which in this case means to say a "three against four" polyrhythm does not involve any triplets. Or that a "five against four" rhythm does not involve any pentuplets. This video shows a polyrhythm of 3/4 which means for each 4 quarter notes in the 4/4 measure, there is going to be exactly 3 snares or exactly an average of 0.75 snares per beat (which makes no sense) but you get the point. Hopefully. 🙂
