Take five

This blog is dedicated to the quintuple beat, or 5/4, in music. As the most known representative for this unusal but beatifull beat, the name is Take Five, the song Dave Brubeck designet. Everybody knows it, but few people grab the beauty of the 5/4th.

There are some other powerfull examples. "Everything's allright" from Jesus Christ Superstar and the second movement in Deep Purples "Concerto for group and orchestra" are two of my favorite music pieces in this beat. They show that the qui tuple beat can back beautifull songs allmost without most listeners understanding why the music is moving so smoothly moving forwards.

Another good example is the powerfull "Gula Gula" from Mari Boine. 

Also other unusual, or irregular beats will find place, like the 7/8, the 9/8 and the 11/8. But it will be about somehow nice music, not very experimental project. The rytm is base.

This is just the start, and we will see where it ends.
