I discovered today that you can use just length-diminution to expand OR contract rhythms, just by using fractions. You can use ti to make some proportional metric modulation stuff.

 

Here are some examples. 

ORIGINAL

(length-diminution 1/1 '(q e e e e s s s s))

CONTRACT

(length-diminution 2/1 '(q e e e e s s s s))

EXPAND

(length-diminution 1/2 '(q e e e e s s s s))

 

(length-diminution 1/3 '(q e e e e s s s s))

(length-diminution 3/2 '(q e e e e s s s s))

 

 

(length-diminution 3/4 '(q e e e e s s s s))

 

And so on !!

This is cool !

Best,

Cool indeed !

 

Thanks for the trick !

 

S.

What is also very cool, you can choose for every bar another value 🙂

(length-diminution '(2/1 1/2 1/3 2/3 3/4) (gen-repeat 5 (list '(q e e e e s s s s)))) 

 

Amazing, Ole !!

Thanks, Stephane !

Best !
