Description
Contracting and Expanding Time Within Form is a comprehensive guide to advanced rhythm, polyrhythm, and metric/harmonic superimposition. By applying a magnifying glass to rhythm, this book enables students to see, sing, and hear various subdivisions and groupings of subdivisions.
This method can be used by any instrumentalist and will greatly improve their improvisational ability to create and respond to rhythmic musical dialogue. The book includes general exercises for all instrumentalists, as well as specific exercises tailored to pianists, bassists, and drummers.
Supplementing the book is an online video with demonstrations of the material, as well as improvised examples by the authors in duo and trio settings, along with musical examples that can be watched and used as a play-along.
