Re: Polyrhythm looping (WAS: OT: What's on your iPod/CDplayer/Turntable)

["Ricky Graham" <rock.guitar.guru@binternet.com>]

I think it is one of the most obvious compositional devices that, IMHO, 
can 
be employed in live looping performances, and not many seem to do it! I 
find 
that very odd. King Crimson are great practioners of polyrhythms and 
polymeters also. "Electric Counterpoint" by Reich is one of my favourite 
pieces by him. Maybe that's a cliche piece for a guitarist to like, but I 
don't care. :) It's great. And it's Pat Metheny. The different sonorities 
that can be achieved with this technique are amazing.  Great work, Fabio.
