The grid (and beyond)

I love grids! But they can be a bit omnipresent in Western music. How can we look beyond them?

Into the grid

We can break down and mess up ‘cells’ in the grid

tuples

Triplets and friends, with [] and @!

syncopation

Syncopation is about emphasing ‘weak’ beats

press / pressBy can be helpful with this!

Beyond the grid

We can also loosen things up a bit

• Add some ‘swing’, e.g. with early / late
• Try out the new euclidish function
