Publisher's Synopsis
THE BOOK OF MOVEMENTS (Vol.4) DOUBLE BINARY MOTOR SYSTEM 7/8 (2nd Edition)
This is a comprehensive rhythmic learning method that incorporates modern practice tools and concepts for musical creation.The backbone of this method is a powerful system of body coordination called the "Double Binary Motor System" (DBMS), mainly composed of thousands of rhythmic movement patterns in 7/8 meter.
Movement Patterns (MP) are binary motor instructions for hands or feet containing combinations of letters (R and L) representing both sides of the body.
By experientially engaging with MPs on our instrument or set, rhythmic phrases that are highly organic and musical emerge everywhere, which are then modified, embellished, and combined through ornamental techniques and syntactic formulas, all included in this book.
The context of this creative production line brings forth highly nourishing musical inspirations and ideas to create thousands of musical phrases organically in a short amount of time. Drummers and percussionists clearly have a great musical treasure here, and as rhythm is a common factor in all musical areas, the material can be well-utilized by musicians in general, whether professional or amateur, composers, music producers, performers, improvisers, music teachers, and students of all levels and instruments. The method starts with simple approaches that lead to results of high complexity without the need for traditional musical notation knowledge for its implementation.
RHYTHM, through the repetition, emission, and sustained omission of sound events, creates the STRUCTURAL FORM of either a single musical note or a phrase.
Let's think about a melodic or harmonic phrase without rhythm; it becomes completely amorphous. Starting from this conception, our musical approach is renewed and takes different directions; now we are aware that the more rhythmic movements we learn and control, the more musical forms we create. This method provides multiple tools to create and embellish countless "musical objects"
in various forms. Our creativity and musical production will be maximized. ATTENTION: After practicing this 4th volume of THE BOOK OF MOVEMENTS,
you will experience changes in your body self-perception as both
brain hemispheres are exercised.
