Bebop Rhythmic Words 1&2: Unleashing Jazz Improvisation through Rhythm. Jazz Piano TutorialIntroduction: In the world of jazz improvisation, we often emphasize the importance of choosing the right notes over chord changes. However, today we’re going to shift our focus to another crucial aspect of improvisation: rhythm. In this video, we’ll explore the concept of using rhythmic words to guide our bebop improvisation. By incorporating these rhythmic phrases into our playing, we can enhance our sense of timing and develop a stronger connection between our left and right hand movements. So, let’s dive into this exciting exercise and discover how it can transform your improvisational skills.

Setting the Foundation: To begin, we’ll work with two related rhythmic words and apply them to a walking bass-line using half notes. This approach allows us to establish a solid foundation by feeling the downbeat in our left hand while understanding the rhythmic placement in our right hand. It’s crucial to have a clear picture of where we start and end in order to create a cohesive musical statement.

Word 1: The first word starts on beat 2 and ends on the “and-of-4.” Then, it begins again on beat 2 and concludes on the “and-of-3.” By focusing on the note played on the “and-of-4,” we can think ahead to the next chord in the progression and choose a note that complements it. Additionally, we can enhance the shape of word 1 by incorporating a leap on the final note, either ascending or descending. This melodic contour adds further interest and character to the phrase.

Word 2: Word 2 is a variation of word 1, with the addition of a pickup note at the beginning of each part. This time, we start on the “and-of-1” for both iterations, but we still conclude on the same beats as in word 1. To create a pleasing melodic shape, consider playing a leap on the pickup note, adding an extra touch of musicality to the phrase.

Application to a Jazz Standard: Now it’s time to put these rhythmic words into practice. Choose a jazz standard or a specific section and begin by playing the melody alongside the bass line. Once you’re comfortable, integrate word 1 into your improvisation, repeating it a few times over the progression. Then, transition to word 2 and play it in the same manner. This exercise serves as an excellent starting point for conversing in the bebop language, allowing you to develop a stronger rhythmic foundation.

Key Considerations and Further Practice: As you embark on this rhythmic journey, remember that playing at high speeds is not the goal. Instead, focus on accurately placing your phrases on the right beats and maintaining a steady and consistent bass rhythm with your left hand. In the next video, we’ll explore two additional rhythmic words, expanding our rhythmic vocabulary even further.

Conclusion: By incorporating rhythmic words into your bebop improvisation, you’ll discover a new level of rhythmic sophistication and expressiveness. Remember, while notes are important, it is the rhythm that truly brings an improvisation to life. Through the exercises demonstrated in this video, you can begin to develop a stronger sense of timing, phrasing, and melodic contour in your improvisations.

Erica Synths & Rich Hawtin Preview Bullfrog Subtractive SynthCreated by Erica Synths & Richie Hawtin, Bullfrog is an educational electronic music instrument designed to captivate and inspire both youth and professionals alike. Bullfrog invites you to unlock musicality while combining the thrill of electronic music production with a comprehensive learning experience.

Bullfrog is a classical subtractive synthesiser – it consists of several “modules” for sound generation – VCO, NOISE GENERATOR - and treatment – VCF, VCA/DELAY, as well as “modules” that generate control and modulation signals to control them – ENVELOPE GENERATORS and SAMPLE & HOLD. The Bullfrog will not make the sound on its own unless it is patched – using eurorack patch cables to interconnect the “modules” or by inserting voice cards that create internal connections between the “modules” in a specific way and add extra functionality, like sampler/looper, sequencer, groovebox, etc. This approach better helps to understand functionality of a subtractive synthesizer and the principles of sound design with instruments like these.

In order to provide a well rounded understanding of the functionality of this synthesizer and sound synthesis in general, a comprehensive user manual is created to accompany the learning process.

Bullfrog will be available via ericasynths.lv and the best electronic music retailers across the globe on 10th of August 2023. Learn more & subscribe via bullfrog.ericasynths.lv

Thoughts on Bullfrog by Richie Hawtin"Electronic Music is as popular as ever and its traditions and frequencies now stretch around the world, uniting people across language and cultures. For me, one of the most exciting parts of creating with a synthesiser is the playful experimentation that inspires and pushes the imagination. Whether the intention is to create abstract frequencies or sounds inspired by real-life, the route one takes is personal and often surprising. It is within these investigations where the beauty of synthesis really comes alive, and which often unlocks a new sense of creative purpose. This journey of discovery is what originally pulled me deep into the world of electronic music and continues to be part of the fascination I find when working in the studio or performing on stage. As a teenager I felt like I was searching for the right outlet to transit my creativity and in synthesis I found a path.

These memories and concepts are at the heart of our Bullfrog synthesiser. Whether someone’s experience with Bullfrog points them down a career in electronic music or not, our goal is to both nurture a passion for electronically produced sounds and promote a fun easy learning path into basic sound synthesis.

We believe that the hands-on approach and problem solving that is innate to synthesis on a semi-modular synth like the Bullfrog, contains life lessons that go beyond what we can hear. The Bullfrog encapsulates the foundations of synthesis and is built with an immediate, intuitive design and a unique expandable architecture that grows and expands together with our user's imagination.

This instrument feels at home anywhere - as an educational tool in music and physics classes, as an addition to your basement studio or even as a tool for performance on a stage.

Learn. Produce. Perform."
