Disquiet Junto Project 0664: Mother Beat
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
This week’s project is inspired by a video game from 2006. The project was proposed by Jason (Bassling) Richardson and his son, Oscar. Thanks to them — and to you, as always, for your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from an especially foggy San Francisco,

Disquiet Junto Project 0664: Mother Beat
The Assignment: Record a piece of music in 29/16 time.
There is just one step to this project: Record a piece of music in 29/16 time.
Background: This project was proposed by Jason (Bassling) Richardson and his son, Oscar. The inspiration for the time signature that we’re employing is the track “Strong One (Masked Man),” used for the final level of Mother 3, a 2006 Game Boy Advance video game created by Shigesato Itoi. The complexity of the music increases throughout the game, with players finding that the rhythm-based combat system rewards those who can understand the musical patterns, and this allows them to complete encounters more easily. There are some differing opinions online about the specific time signature, but for the sake of this project we’re going with 29/16. Certainly feel free to come to your own conclusion.
