Hey, it's me again :). It's been a while, but I am back! How could I resist such a tempting challenge - I have been making 5/4 for ages (which is why I did not make a 5/4 song this time) and have tried my hands at 7/8 before, so my hands were itching to get to work on this challenge. I am very curious to hear what you made!

This was what I came here for: making weird time signatures work! You use the same signature as many others (7/4), and you use different techniques to make it work: the first sounds like 3/4+4/4; then at 0:52, I hear what I call the 'Wonder Woman rhythm', 3/4+1/8 repeated twice (which I purposely did not include in my song as I got sick of hearing this everywhere); then, going to 4/4+3/4 at 1:24, with the 3/4 classically split into two notes; and a funny ending at 1:52!

To summarize, you seemed to have to have the same idea as me: use different variations to try and make 7/8 sound nice! I gotta say, I think you succeeded slightly better than me in this regard. It is funny to recognize the same patterns in your song that I have considered for my songs as well. But an additional benefit of your songs is that... they just sound adorable! This is not just an odd neighbor, but a very nice one too!

I came here with a critical view, as I will not give you a good rating just because I like you >:). But as usual, I will give you a good rating because it is just a banger! I want to give criticism, I truly do, but I just... don't have any. You, Selkione, and others like Blue Lava are simply how I want to be :D

Hi, nice to see you again.

You've written me a novel :D!

Thank you so much for your attention to my creations. Indeed, I wanted some variation in the 7/4 and above all I wanted to discover what could be done with it. After a while my ear almost got used to this strange signature.

I don't know Wonder Woman's 7/4, do you have a link so I can listen to it?

I guess the end of my music can be surprising, it's rare to hear a 7 beat break. I've been having fun trying things out. Today, I don't really care about the ranking or the grade, I'm just happy to progress and learn by trying new things. But I must admit that receiving messages like yours is particularly heart-warming.

I'll take the time to listen to your two compositions and I'll try to write a longer comment than yours.

I just found it, it's the main theme of 2017's Wonder Woman. I'm old and only knew the theme from the 70s series. 

That is such a good mentality, to just want to progress and learn new things. At first, I got sucked into music jams and my competitive drive made me want to become first in the ranking. Over time, I have given up on that goal and that gave me such a relief - I now want to improve my skills, have fun talking to people here whom I sometimes would even call a 'friend', and listen to other creations to inspire me! In other words, I am here to stay for a while :)

And, if I knew beforehand that "I'll try to write a longer comment than yours," I would have not made my comment this long! Thanks though, and feel free to be critical of anything :D
