Maybe you can figure out how to get a morse code key to do stutter!!Forgive my HTML message, I had to use it to utilize fixed width fonts for the rhythmic examples. rick walker: Weirdly apropos: A fun game I came up with to amuse myself is to use Morse code's use of dots and dashes and make a dot = a 2 8th note figure with an accent on the 1st note (or just an 8th note) and a dash = a 3 8th note figure with an accent on the 1st note (or just a dotted 8th note) and a slash = a 4 8th note figure with an accent on the 1st note (or a half note) (the slash is not part of the letter translation. It graphically delineates words.....still, it's fun to use it to graphically represent rhythmic figures. You can use random Morse code sentences into wonderful random odd time signature reading exercises. ex:. . _ . . _ _ equals 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 17/8 > > > > > > > A drummer would play this R L R L R L L R L R L R L L R L L A simple finger picking exercise for guitarists or bassists would be T 2 T 2 R 2 1 T 2 T 2 T 2 1 T 2 1 T = thumb 1 = 1st finger 2 = 2nd finger TRY PLAYING THIS EXERCISE FOR FUN: .. /.-.. --- ...- . / .-.. .. ...- . / .-.. --- --- .--. .. -. --. --..-- / -.. --- -. .----. - / -.-- --- ..- ..- -.. This translates as: I love live looping, don't you? Here's a cool morse code translating site. http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html Cool factoid: Morse Codes is now officially a dead language. It was retired a few years back due to the ubiquity of inexpensive GPS systems for sailing. |
