Never odd or even
Oh, I love this one, speaking of odd time signatures.
This is particularly apropos because if you play a 16th note palindromic
rhythm in an odd time signature
and play a constant 8th note rhythm against it (like playing two bars
of 7/16 against one bar
of contant 8th notes in 7/8) then the first repetition of the rhythm's
on and off beat
relationship will exactly reverse in the second bar): whatever had been
an 'on-beat' is now and 'off-beat'
and vice versa.
7/16 ||: X * X * X * X | X * X * X * X :||
now written in one bar of 7/8 =
7/8 ||: X * X * X * X X * X * X * X :||
now adding a constant 8th note 'framing rhythm' =
7/8 ||: X * X * X * X X * X * X * X:||
