Revolutionizing the music world

I'm taking Swing 5.
In last night's class, we were messing around with some wild and crazy stuff... stuff like 6-count swing-outs and 10-count swing-outs. A 'normal' swing-out takes 8 counts. Start messing with that and things get weird (and FUN!) quickly. In the previous class, we messed around with reversing different parts of the dance. When you start turning the other way, using the other hand to lead, staggering with the other foot, and reversing your footwork, things really start to get interesting. And again, FUN! Now take both of those classes and combine them. I was doing 6-, 8-, and 10-count swing-outs with various combinations of things reversed... to varying degrees of success. You just don't know how fun it is until you break it.

Anyway, back to the subject as laid out in the title. Normal swing music (jazz and whatnot) tends to be written with a 4/4 time signature. There's one crazy weird song called Take 5, by Dave Brubeck, that is written in 5/4, calling out for a 10-count swing-out. This just feels so very odd.
Now, a few practices ago, Sara and Rajeev (I threw my piece in when necessary, as did others) were discussing (read: arguing) various odd time signatures and what exists and what doesn't. Rajeev mentioned something about a 5/5 time signature, but Sara, being musically trained, held fast that 5/5 time doesn't exist. Doesn't exist? Her main argument was that you can't divide a note into fifths. Why not? If you can divide a note into fourths (or sixths, or halves, etc), why not fifths? Because you CAN! It's only the rigid 'rules' of music that won't allow it. Free your mind! You cannot truly advance and adapt if you do not allow yourself to expand beyond the rules. The rules are incredibly arbitrary anyway! Months ago, we had a feedback session where we dance with each other and give constructive criticism and positive feedback. Sara told me that she liked how, once I had learned some of the rules of dancing, I've taken that rule book and tossed it out. Sara, do the same with your music rule books! They're only holding back your creativity! Saying 5/5 time doesn't exist is only for those that cannot think for themselves!

Anyway, from this argument, Rajeev and I have decided to revolutionize the music world. We're going to invent 5/5 time, as well as many others. Among these others, we have: 3/pi, 5/11, 27/3. Last night, I expanded our revolution even further. Why only stretch beyond the rules in one dimension? I decided we need a 4/1/1 time signature. I'm, as yet, unsure what that actually means, though. Once I figure that out, I'll work on a 5/3/pi time signature.

Vive la Résistance!!!

That is all.
