Veiki

This is a bold foray onto new rhythmic ground for machine-based dance music. While Veiki's sounds appear firmly grounded in contemporary techno, its pulse is neither based on the 4/4 tradition nor on the breakbeat continuum. The meters employed here are distinctly asymmetric i.e. they never add up to binary entities, but are odd-numbered instead. With patterns of 7, 9 or 11, they offer possibilities for dislocating the center of gravity not available to standard rhythmic fare. Asymmetric / irregular meters are part of the ancient music tradition of the Eastern Mediterranean as well as of South Eastern Europe. The patterns employed here are also present in the traditional music of Bulgaria with which Stefan Goldmann grew up.
