Description
Ray To Go 2 – Odd Times by Ray McNamara
“This is the much anticipated companion CD to the original “Ray To GO”. Ray To Go 2 (Odd Times) fills a void with dance music of varying meters.
All of these “Odd Time” selections are improvisations based on movement I have encountered throughout my years as a dance musician.
All of these tracks are recorded organically with no edits to preserve the spontaneity of each piece.
I hope to show that music in odd time signatures can be heard comfortably and be fun to move to. I have used varying instrumentation to keep the listener engaged.
The meter and the subdivisions should be clear throughout. However, please give a good listen to the pieces to familiarize yourself.” … Ray McNamara
