Looking for examples of “multi-temporality” (polyrhythm/polymeter/polytempo)
eve.poudrier
Dear colleagues,
I am building a collection of musical examples from around the world in which
“multi-temporality” (e.g., polyrhythm/polymeter/polytempo) plays a substantial
role. We have already collected a number of representative examples from
secondary sources (journal articles and monographs) and are now starting to
collect examples from repertoires that have not received as much scholarly
attention, focusing on the period from 1950 onward.
If you have any repertoire suggestions, transcriptions, and/or recordings of music where the use of multi-temporality is clearly apparent, please send them to the email address above with a short description. All original contributions will be appropriately acknowledged. A short description of the research project is available on request. Once the project is completed, we are planning to make these examples and related materials available online for further research and pedagogical purposes.
If you know if other lists or groups where this message could be posted, please let me know. Thank you!
Best regards,
