(Anthony for the patron of lost objects, Hemiola for the musical pattern of portioning out three notes where the ear expects 2, often used to jar or unsettle the listener)

Syncopated semi-epihyperderpflardioids. The parameter changes play against each other in a 2:3 polyrhythm, creating a rhythmical pattern known as a vertical hemiola. #generative #genartclub

The hemiola is fun in that it sounds cool and is also the musical device whose name sounds the most like a blood disease

Post you from a different era. 1st year of uni, and my friend Jon and I went to an H-themed party dressed as a hemiola.

Me to @cybermudgeon.bsky.social tonight: You know I like a hemiola. I mean, not as much as a sesquialtera, but that’s kind of hemiola-adjacent.
I really need to get back into early music esoterica, like musica ficta and tuning systems.
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.

Very pleased my piece 'Crude' (from the bigger piece Precious Things) is having another outing, courtesy of Hemiola. They are a really brilliant young vocal consort and well worth hearing. It's in Cambridge on Saturday 4 July - tickets available now!

I have hemiola hemophilia. I bleed easily, but only if you cut across the bar line.

anyways here’s something inspired by getting exhausted standing in the dark
it’s a good reminder that 3 unsynced clocks can create as much interesting hemiola-ish stuff as the Euclidean conditions themselves

New today, a Sondheimian guide to musical meter.
You do not need to be a music theory whizz to read this! This guide takes you through simple & compound meters step by step, and digs into some more fun territory (hemiola! cross-rhythm!) along the way.

okay okay yeah I ACTUALLY got it now. it's 6/8 and the complicated parts are just the wildest fucking hemiola I've ever heard lol. If you're counting in 8th notes (i.e. following the guitar) it alternates between two sets of six notes (12 beats) and three sets of four notes (12 beats)

Taught “weird fishes” (radiohead) today, great tune, great chords, great hemiola.

I did learn something that I didn't notice, Hemiola's 3D model isn't 100% the same to the Hemiola in Astra's 2D art (default outfit and black dress outfit). There are just some minor details that are unique...the 2D Hemiola looks more personal while the 3D Hemiola looked like a bootleg--(sorry)
