![]() It took me awhile to get there but once you get there it all feels very natural for some reason. After awhile, you just start hearing it and you can improvise in any of those time signatures. You have to experiment with a lot of different things. In order to be able to hear the meter and patterns, you have to practice in a lot of different time signatures with a metronome. It's actually not as complicated as you might think. Then 3/4 and it alternates back and forth. Then in the 3rd movement it's 4/4 time again. Then 8 time for the bridge into the 3rd movement (1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2). Then back to 4/4 and the solo in the 2nd movement is in that time. Then after that Neil actually plays in 4/4 for a little bit (mind blown) then back to 7 time. A little late but for those who come back to this, the first part with the suspended 2nd chords is 8 time with a shuffle 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2 or with shuffle (1-and-a-2-and-a-3, etc.). Very similar to "Hemispheres" - an ethos for whole-brain thinking. ![]() intimately connected with the human experience. Art should follow the same path - rather than serving human ends ("market campaigns") which are constructed on top of nature, it should be 'expression', i.e. ![]() In the mean time, we should pursue science/knowledge in a way that's harmonious with nature (rather than trying to fighting it, effectively running into a brick wall). We can't stop it, because we can't supercede nature. The conclusion offers up 'the moral of the story' - Ultimately, our species will end and be recycled into nature with the tide, as part of a larger pattern. We fashion "our world" in "our image", so that we can't see what is really in control: nature. We make a 'quantum leap' to the time of man: ideas like the Big Bang, mysticism/theology, computers, machinery - all human constructs build on top of what was once just tidal pools. It begins to form its own patterns, losing track of the complexity that it spawned from. In the beginning, life emerges from a frothing tide. The song has three subsections (beginning of the universe, the time of man, the uncertain future and the end results).
