Other Robert
Reaching for the Life Line

A couple of months ago I came up with a couple of things that used polyrhythms. The drums were in one time signature and everything else was in another. I had some fun with it then and tried it again and… well, I got pretty bored with it really quick. The drums are in 4/4 and everything else is in 7/4, except for the guitar solo sections which are just plain old 4/4. I think I might be done with polyrhythms for a while. From now on, it’s just 7/8 forever (no it’s not, but wouldn’t that be awesome?).

The guitars are all Gibson ES-335, the amps are all Vox AC15 and Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm guitar used a Ryra the Klone pedal. The leads used a Klon KTR, a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter (a sweet fulltone OCD clone, that has all the great sound but none of the racist frat boy bullshit), and a Wampler Faux Tape Echo for a little slap back. The longer delays were post production in Garageband.
