dont worry mate, we've been down this road many times on the forum.NoAffiliation wrote:not sure if this helps but people often get confused about polyrythm vs. polymeter. polymeter is using contrasting time sigs, like 3/4 on 4/4. polyrythm just means contrasting patterns, they don't need to be metrically relatedAK wrote:It's actually difficult to try and write rhythms against rhythms in some modern gear. Try writing a 12 step pattern against a 16 step pattern in some sequencers, they wont allow it. Time sigs mess with my head anyways.
polyrhythms dont need to be metrically related but they can be, polymeter is a subset of polyrhythm, therefore there can be no versus.
