freestyling a lesson in rhythmic subdivisions from quarter note to 16ths and more
Harry Mack: How To Improve Free Association
[Practice free association with your notes app by making a list starting with any word and following it with whatever comes to mind. Try to be non-judgemental. More important that it makes sense to you than to other people. When you're comfortable to try with a beat, you can just fill space with "uhh" or other rhythmic sounds and simply land on your next word to practice changing in time.]
Music training really trains you to break things down into manageable parts. Teaching well exposes the atomic elements of a practice so that you can find the right entry point for your level of skill or experience.
Harry Mack: How To Get Better At Freestyle Rapping - Setup, Punchline
[Practice is strategically targetting your weaknesses to help them improve over time.]
[Wanting to sound great means willing to sound bad so that you can practice.]
[Deciding what object in the room you'll freestyle about and what to call it takes up mental RAM that could be spared if you use a simple word generator to practice.]
Roberta Sá: Quando o Canto É Reza (2015)
ኃይለየሱስ ፈይሳ [Haileyesus Feyssa]: ፍቅር ተወደደ [Fikir Tewedede]
nice surprise change in timefeel in the beginning; multiple beats/rhythms simultaneously
Virginia Rodrigues: Vá Cuidar de Sua Vida
sweet melody and lyrics with references to capoeira and candomblé
like this beat
Louis Cole: Outer Moat Behavior
seems like the same material repeats for almost two minutes, but still interesting; cool "rising" sensation in the bass with these complex chord changes in the background
childlike silliness, playful but not superficial
Rara in Haiti / Gaga in the Dominican Republic (1978)
explosive. Bourg Champagne reminds me of samba. Carrefour du Fort is hypnotic, trance-inducing. Cemetary at Bizoton is "only in 4" but somehow sounds more complex.
Brad Mehldau: Jacob's Ladder (2022)
unexpected wacky, out, prog rock. Pedro Martins' voice on Vou correndo te encontrar / Racecar.
Filó Machado, Cibele Codonho: Correnteza
wicked chord substitutions. my version was based on the recording by Joyce and Toninho Horta.
Filó Machado, Gennoshin: Dinorah Dinorah
such a simple short rhythmic refrain yet satisfying to repeat a million times in the same song
Nadah El Shazly: Claustrophobic Love
simple noisy cello over a haunting eerie harp with ethereal effects
nice groove, not used to hearing jazz solos in house tracks
Rafael De Lemba: Ingazeira o Ingá
capoeira variations with blue notes, adding fire through singing
Sounds like Stevie Wonder singing in Brazilian Portuguese.
