After the WEIRD INTRO this video goes through the basics of polymeter, where you can hear it, and how you can write with it. Deeply complicated rhythmic layers can easily develop when you write polymetrically, and open up whole new universes of songwriting and composition.

Later, I will be making a video about the 3:4 polyrhythm. Polymeter and polyrhythm are closely related, and hopefully this video demonstrates the basics of polymeter for anyone to understand and start using!
