Polyrhythms aren't complex

I'm tired of seeing people thinking that they are smart as fuck because they can do an hemiola on the piano roll... This is dumb and tiring.

I honestly don't know where the "polyrhythms are complex" meme come from. Polyrhythms are easy as fuck, I literally just learned to tap hemiola with my ass after 1 minute of reading an article about it :

Are people saying that polyrhythms are complex because they want to make us believe that African music isn't completely bland and uninteresting? It seems to me that this is political, a way for SJWs of saying "pure African music isn't completely useless, checkmate bigot!", but as well as a way for people who simply lack skills to appear cultured and sophisticated when what they are doing isn't really impressive

I agree tool sucks

the only reason people think polys are complex is because radio and other pop mediums seem to think 4/4 is the only time sig worth writing in.

I remember this thread lol

It’s cause it sounds like a complex term. “Polyrhythm” is the first really confusing I heard when I knew nothing about music theory

Oh boy I haven't seen this post in a while. I'm sure we'll have a lovely and enriching thread just like last time.

Shit thread so far

Ump

Why are you mad?

that's a nicely aligned set of notes, though it represents neither a polyrhythm nor a hemiola, so OP is clearly a faggot.

also, who the fuck says hemiola except youtube cuks?

also, last time we had this thread, the first link to (and one of the earliest historical recordings) of African drumming was an example in 5/4 where the rhythm was beautifully swung.

also: the commutative principle. polyrhythm hasn't even entered the picture yet, really.

That's not a polyrhythm. They are both in 4/4.

You're thinking of polymeter. OP's image is literally taken from the wikipedia page for polyrhythm.

Still not a polyrhythm.

>wikipedia
Wikipedia says you are a retard.

Why did OP post the most basic bitch polyrhythm? They can be hard as shit because they literally aren't natural to play, try playing this fuck

its 3:2 you fucking retard

'le memeiola' is kinda just swapping one way of reading for another and doesn't really qualify music as a polyrhythm,

if you think polyrhythms aren't complex wait till you get to giant steps and Chopin etudes lol so disappointingly simple
all of harmony, thoroughbass, counterpoint and part writing, orchestration. not rocket science. Fuck. dude even rocket science isn't all that crazy

they used rice husks to get lift
