The hell it is. If 12/8 is just 3/4 * 4/4 (musically, not mathematically, speaking), then 9/8 is just 3/4 * 3/4.

Think three groups of three: BUM-bum-bum BUM-bum-bum BUM-bum-bum.

But singing an old fashioned hymn written for an organ, when the melodies are meandering anyway, when it's in 9/8 it actually does get tricky.


--- Quote ---5/4 is way harder, because 5 is prime (mathematically speaking). So if you want to divide it up, every measure is either 2+3 or 3+2, there's no consistent way to equally subdivide it.

I actually find 5/4 really easy, personally. 8/8 is my favourite, thought. BUM-bum-bum-BUM-bum-bum-BUM-BUM.

How does that differ from 4/4?

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---What about 6/9?

I have heard that is rather sexy, eh? If you ken what I mean...

Once we find a way to invent the ninth note, I am totally writing all of my music in that time.

4/4 is ONE-two-three-four-ONE-two-three-four. 8/8 is ONE-two-three-ONE-two-three-ONE-two-ONE-two-three-ONE-two-three-ONE-two. It's pretty quirky.

La Creme:
Speaking of notes that haven't been invented / are impossible to divide in ones mind: I one day realized that the Quintuplette would be the most metal thing EVER. 5-note clusters played over one of those super-proggy Triplette runs would be TOTALLY ORGASMIC! The closest you could get to this would probably be playing 5/4 and 4/4 simultaneously, and playing REALLY FAST in the 5/4.
