PALINDROMIC RHYTHMS: 11/11/11 at 11:11 for 11:11 Project

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Let's hear it for palindromes!!!!!

Here's one in 11/8 for shits and giggles.

*11/8  ||:  X * X * X * X * X * X :||**
            1   2   3   4   5   a *

This one can be played as if it is 5 even pulses with a skipping last note.

I call this a 'Broken 5 Pulse'...............you count,  "1,2,3,4,5a"


Another cool one:

*11/8  ||:  X * X X X * X X X * X :||

*ble    te-ri-ple   te-ri-ple   dou-

These you can sing using the syllables

one   dou-ble   te-ri-ple,   etc.

When a dou-ble phrase occurs where the downbeat of the measure is on the 
'ble' syllable
I just say   "  uh-one "  instead of 'dou-ble'

Here's another

*11/8  ||:  X * X X * X * X X * X :||*
                 one   dou-ble  one    dou-ble   uh


Have fun!!!
