Also included are songs that flirt between and throw in unexpected moments of other time signatures. This is supposed to be a run down of the ‘history’ of contemporary music (anything 1940s onwards for this purpose). However we’re not going to into the level of Math Rock either… much.
Lots of IDM, Math Rock, overtly Prog, and other genres really expand the usage of time signatures.īy ‘slightly odd’ time signatures, I was primarily thinking of time signatures that deviate from either standard 4/4 (or equivalent ’rounded’ time signatures) or a Waltzing 3/4. Whilst there are entire genres, bands, and lesser known material that utilise the practice of time signature variation, it is somewhat of a rarity for popular songs that get radio exposure. I’ve gathered a collection of some of the more famous examples of songs in slight odd signatures. Time signatures when used correctly can add other dimensions to a song, a feeling of awkwardness, incompleteness, shuffling dancing, rushing. Time signatures, a musicians best friend if used wisely.
