Radiohead- Pyramid Song
The song that sparked all the questions of ‘what the hell is that time signature?’. I still have no idea what time signature it is in, what really matters is that it is so damn unusual. The piano chords come very unpredictably, and if they came on the beat, on maybe a 4/4 beat, and the strings weren’t used in the song. Then the song wouldn’t be half as interesting. It’d be quite a plain and simple piano ballad about death. The great thing about the song is those melancholic vocals though, and the elegance of the strings that are incredibly melancholic too, with an oriental touch.
It’s in 8/4 which is subdivided into 3/4, 2/4, then back to 3/4 [correct me if i’m wrong though]. 4/4 works but it doesn’t “feel” like 4/4. Phil is a freakin’ drum machine.

The vibrations of an idealised circular drum, essentially an elastic membrane of uniform thickness attached to a rigid circular frame, are solutions of the wave equation with zero boundary conditions.
There exist infinitely many ways in which a drum can vibrate, depending on the shape of the drum at some initial time and the rate of change of the shape of the drum at the initial time. Using separation of variables, it is possible to find a collection of “simple” vibration modes, and it can be proved that any arbitrarily complex vibration of a drum can be decomposed as a series of the simpler vibrations (analogously to the Fourier series).
