This video discusses the use of applying Karnatic rhythmical techniques to Western music. To read this lesson instead, please go to: http://wp.me/p4nEov-ho Lesson 2- Polyrhythmic ratios (jathis) This lesson builds on lesson 1's concept of the gati through rephrasing, called jathi. Jathi rephrasing creates polyrhythms, and by applying this concept, any polyrhythmic ratio can be easily understood. Throughout this lesson series, I'll teach a method that Western musicians can apply to their music to help understand, feel, and perform rhythmically complex music. Things such as odd beat subdivision, odd meters, polyrhythms, polymeters, polypulses, rhythmical displacement, embedded tuplets, irrational rhythms, etc. all can be approached much more easily by applying these techniques. These are found in, and can be applied to, music of all genres such as from Xenakis, Ligeti, Brian Ferneyhough, Dave Holland, Steve Coleman, Weather Report, Vijay Ayer, Balkan and African music, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, Venetian Snares, Tool, Meshuggah, Dillenger Escape Plan, and Coalesce etc.
