about
"And Now Clockwise."
This one is all about the Rhythm.
Technically, there are four main time signatures in the song:
14/8 (or 7/4)
13/8
23/8
4/4
And the form can be seen as this:
ABACD
Put em' together and you get this:
A = 14/8 (or 7/4)
B = 13/8
C = 23/8 and 8/8
D = 4/4
The song makes ample use of skipple pulses (triplets with the 2nd note missing) to accompany most of the time changes.
The harmony is pretty simple, uses diminished chords to borrow scalar chords here and there.
The melody? Nobuo Uematsu for the win!
Skipple combined with 7/4 heavily inspired by Pink Floyd's "Money."
