Lesson 1- Beat subdivision (gatis) and odd-tuplet phrasing

This lesson explains some of the fundamentals or Karnatic music- gatis, or beat subdivision, from duple (eighth notes) up to nonuplets (9-tuplet). Practicing this technique will strengthen your sense of pulse and timing as well as give a better sense of playing, feeling, and phrasing odd-tuplets such as quintuplets, septuplets, and nonuplets.

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.
