Completely unrelated, just because I think we can all use it ...

Still fascinated by the richness of all these autumn colours, that special beauty of decay.
Yes, the pic is about all that's around the mushroom, philosophically the mushroom can be considered
"a centered self without being self-centered".
Something I'd really like to write (though I'm woefully bad at scripting percussion): Concerto for four drumsets and a sleepy triangle, in 5/8 (a "Stolpermarsch" ~ stumble march)Ah, percussionists! The mad dogs of the musical world. During some of these classical or choral pieces, I always imagine the drummer suddenly just breaking out into a rock concert solo.

During my time in India, I was surprised to discover how rhythmic some of their native music is, as opposed to western music.Something I'd really like to write (though I'm woefully bad at scripting percussion): Concerto for four drumsets and a sleepy triangle, in 5/8 (a "Stolpermarsch" ~ stumble march)

So do I. A friend of mine of Greek origin plays 7/8, 9/8 and 13/8 tunes. It sounds great, though slightly odd, they even dance to it. I still don't really get behind it. When I asked him about 7/8 rhythm playing he said that it's very easy, you just count 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3 .
3/4-4/4-3/4-4/4 ... - that's trivial (No, of course it isn't ... at least not for your feet.)I like it. You could boogie to it, maybe not march. I missed the MP3 at first, so I tried to find it on Google and I found some group named Diazepam:
Stumble march / Drift, by Diazepam
from the album Wailing of the Winds - s/tdiazepamnoise.bandcamp.com
Many - actually most - of the complex 'uneven' rhythms which proliferate all over the Balkans - but are found especially in parts of Macedonia and Bulgaria - come from the centuries of Ottoman rule, when many of the Turkish rhythms were both adopted but then further improvised upon by the locals. Many of whom are or were from the Rom or gypsy culture. I've actually been playing (and occasionally performing) as a percussionist with a number of assorted Balkan groups over the last three or four decades, and longer than that still - and the truth is, when you hear - and sometimes play - and sometimes dance to - these rhythms which seem exotic and complex to those who come out of the more even-metered occidental traditions ... it really is much more 'easy'.So do I.

I think the name of the group is a bit of a give-away, though (you may know "Valium" better ...).
