Abstract:
Goldberg (this issue) presents evidence of interactions between percussive timing and song structure in two 3+2+2-meter Balkan performances. Using interonset measurements and checking carefully for statistical significance, he shows that formal and contextual characteristics of each performance coincide with timing changes at the level of the beat and bar, with durations becoming slightly shorter or longer at consistent locations. I review Goldberg’s main findings and contribute brief supporting analyses. For one of the songs, I provide additional context regarding verse meter, melod

Abstract:
This article reports on a study of concepts and practices of microrhythm among skilled performers of traditional Scandinavian fiddle music, particularly the so-called springar tradition which features non-isochronous and variable beats and subdivisions within a triple meter framework. In this context, microrhythm refers to the overall shaping of musical events at the micro level, encompassing both timing (temporal placement and duration) and sound (shape/envelope, timbre and intensity). A particular focus is to explore how these musical features interact – as opposed to treating timing and sou

Abstract:
This paper addresses important issues in the theory of meter by means of a detailed study of a particular form of non-isochronous (NI) meter, the North Indian rūpak tāl. Rūpak tāl is described as comprising 7 equal mātrās (time units), organized into three groups (3+2+2 mātrās), and is therefore non-isochronous at the group rather than the beat or subdivision level. The term “long-form non-isochronous meter” is introduced to describe the phenomenon of metrical structures including a non-isochronous pulse level with IOIs >1000ms, of which this is an example. This phenomenon is explored with

Abstract:
This article revisits the issue of perceived meter in rhythmically irregular post-tonal music by way of Danuta Mirka’s (2009) dynamic model of meter. Her model, which is a parallel multiple-analysis processor in the sense of Jackendoff (1991), accounts for rapidly fluctuating sensations of meter in the real-time listening process, while maintaining local regularity as a defining feature of metric processing. I offer two extensions to her model—one concerning the perceptual processing of non-isochronous meter and the other concerning meter in multiple perceptual streams—along with applications

Abstract:
This article studies the empirical structures and theoretical status of rhythmic feels in jembe music, which is a popular style of drum ensemble music from West Africa. The focus is onsystematic variations of durations(Bengtsson 1975)—that is, cyclic patterns of non-isochronous pulse streaming at the metric level of beat subdivision. Taking for example a standard piece of jembe repertoire that is set in a 4-beat/12-subpulse metric cycle (often notated as 12/8), I show that the ternary beat subdivision forms a repeated sequence of unequal (short, flexible, and long) subpulses.

Abstract:
This article proposes a model that unites a broad range of performances of Mande drumming music within a single cohesive and fluid sub-beat metric framework. The framework categorizes musical performance in terms of two metric modes, each of which includes a set of metric cycles featuring non-isochronous pulsations. A novel feature of the proposed model that distinguishes it from previous research is that it frames metric non-isochrony in terms of the ranges for pulsation positions within a pulsation cycle. This approach is shown to be especially useful for analyzing and describing mechanisms

Abstract:
Although music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries makes frequent use of non-isochronous meter (meters involving beats of different length, such as 5/4 and 7/8), most studies on meter and metric dissonance focus on isochronous meters (meters involving beats of the same length, such as 4/4 and 9/8). This dissertation bridges this gap by developing two methodologies to account for metric dissonance involving non-isochronous pulses: modified ski-hill graphs and the composite beat attack point system. Modified ski-hill graphs, adapted from Richard Cohn's ski-hill graphs, illustrate metric

Abstract:
This research examines how perception and cognition theories regarding musical meter may assist in the process of developing ‘odd meter’ practice in jazz for ‘melodic’ instrumentalists. Introduced in jazz as early as the 1950s, the integration of irregular meters into jazz practice has occurred only incrementally, as has the knowledge towards their theoretical premises. With the author acting as the intertwined composer and improviser, this study aims to develop an approach towards proliferating a ‘fluent idiolect’ to aid in obtaining clarity surrounding odd-meter types and present rhythmic an

During my two-year studies at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, I explored different unevenly divided time signatures by practicing them in various ways, producing transcriptions, compositions and arrangements.The main purpose of this project was to further my knowledge and skills within these time signatures and thereby expand my horizon on perceiving, conceptualizing, composing and playing them. My endeavors culminated in seven original compositions, arranged for a jazz sextet, which I reh

Abstract:
Abstract Much of the book’s content thus far concerns variation through some form of accentuation. This chapter addresses accentual variation from three angles. The first section looks at displacement: the shifting of a note, group of notes, or entire phrase from one position in the measure to another. While grids often play a role in displacement, the examples serve as reminders that notes are more than movable pieces on a metric gameboard. The second section turns to cyclical rhythms comprising mixed binary and ternary groupings. Though routinely associated with so-called non-isochronous met
