Except it wasn't the album; it was a series of tracks that sound more or less like the album — syncopated piano, upright bass, brushed drums — weaving between tracks by Evans and other jazz musicians in a pleasantly monotonous wash.
|
|
The EP's six tracks bob along between syncopated drum patterns, reverby vocals, rhythmic elements of dub and just-about-dancehall, and dark, thudding electronic production fit for both a dancefloor and someone's smoke-filled living room after the club.

"Funk the Fear," a syncopated yawp of defiance, represents the far end of this shift from lissome chamber-jazz to a muscular hybrid steeped in mid-1970s R&B, prog-rock and fusion (and, skipping ahead a bit, vintage Prince).
|
|
Since the beginning of Hayes's career, his poems have presented a syncopated and constantly shifting subject, a speaker insisting he's agile, hip, logical, bruised, both guttural and highfalutin and who refuses to be drawn into any box of fixed dimension.
|
|
Throughout the album, especially when Mr. Okazaki chucks out fast and syncopated undercurrents on the lowest strings, you can feel the influence of Mr. Coleman, whose music draws from across the African diaspora to make a thick-bodied, often unswinging funk.
|
|
Mr. Johns likes a good myth — but whatever inspired him, America's most pokerfaced painter embraced something like total abstraction in the 1970s, via mirrored or syncopated fields of back-and-forth lines that, on occasion, obfuscated underlying images or designs.
|
|
Now Gladstone's uptown gallery (located in a sublime Edward Durell Stone townhouse) is presenting the first United States solo exhibition of the painter Alfredo Volpi, whose syncopated, lushly colored semiabstractions offer a less familiar view of Brazil's years of progress.
|
|
Episodes of ethereal stillness—a gentle tangle of flutes, a swish of cymbals, a glistening of harp, piano, and celesta—give way to more sharply delineated gestures, such as strutting syncopated chords in the piano or throbbing pulses in the drums.
|
|
Layering a syncopated pulse over a four-to-the-floor beat, traditional melodies lift toward free-flowing "tarab," a trance-like form borrowed from Arabic music barely dependent on rhythm and scale until the beat drops you back into time.
|
|
There are nods to his love of the UK hardcore continuum, from the whacked-out jungle of opener "Faraday Monument," full of intricately syncopated clicks, to the needling, propulsive IDM of "Perfect Apple with Silver Mark," reminiscent of Autechre at their most haunting.
|
|
The Burmese made it their own, playing it lap-style and open-tuned rather than slung over the shoulder; eschewing strumming in favour of complex, syncopated picking; using the lower strings as drones or walking bass-lines while the upper mimicked a voice.
|
|
Characterized by vigorous, syncopated, dance-focused beats, they've been gaining audiences beyond these more isolated suburbs via the pressings and parties of the capital's own Principe Records, and through figureheads such as DJ Marfox, DJ Firmeze, DJ Nigga Fox—and Nidia Minaj.
|
|
This season, Mr. Arbesser paid homage to the work of the Viennese painter Koloman Moser in syncopated combinations of stripes, dots and other geometrics woven into jacquard artists' smocks and free-form suiting with an interesting, if not always flattering, kraftwerk edge.
|
|
"In a Bind," with one of the album's most blunt lyrics — "I know that I was gone a lot last year/But I hoped you'd still be here" — hints at the syncopated, hypnotic vamps of the Malian guitar master Ali Farka Touré.
|
|
Today, a five-person office like the Oyler Wu Collaborative in Los Angeles, founded in 2004, can produce a residential high-rise in a faraway place — even one with the complex, syncopated screens that encase their recently completed Monarch residential tower in Taipei.
|
|
The 1970 single "Funky Drummer," with its syncopated break, went on to become the most sampled track in hip-hop, serving as the beat for Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," N.W.A's "Fuck tha Police," De la Soul's "The Magic Number" and Run-D.
|
|
From the moment that the beat drops in, he trips across the stage, exaggerating every ecstatic expression, kicking his knees up in time with each syncopated fill, flashing his arms out at right angles every time Donnie Trumpet's horn flies up into the beat.
|
|
But in the process, he transcended the form, and while he certainly wasn't a household name, he had become an important part of the ragtime community in the late '90s—recording two albums, Syncopated Odyssey and Hot Kumquats with the help of the MIDI format.
|
|
As the cryogenic units responsible for cooling the machine's superconducting magnet clicked on and off in a syncopated rhythm, the imaging technician warned me that, once he slid me inside, I might feel dizzy, see flashing lights, or experience a metallic taste in my mouth.
|
|
As the basic sound continued, a duller rattle, the sound of the drum holding the clothes shaking back and forth in the machine, emerged below it, adding texture and, as the two machines cycles bounced against each other, a syncopated logic to the whole room.
|
|
JON CARAMANICA The bass hops around nervously in nearly constant eighth notes, with drums syncopated against it à la the Police; a guitar on the left offers a neat new-wave hook while another one on the right grumbles occasionally with dissonant, distorted squawks.
|
|
As the students spend their days under George's tutelage, with tools that haven't changed in centuries and about a dozen chairs hanging overhead from the rafters like piñatas, he makes his own beside them, smoothly shaving, planing and scraping the wood with graceful, syncopated movements.
|
|
He popularized ragtime, an early form of American music combining classical European harmonies with syncopated African rhythms, in the late 1800s with his hit, "Maple Leaf Rag" — the sheet music sold half a million copies, and the song became a soundtrack to the Gay Nineties.
|
|
Initially inspired by street literature like Sister Souljah's "The Coldest Winter Ever" and female rappers like Eve and Nicki Minaj — hence her dexterity with syncopated flows and finding unobvious rhythmic pockets in a beat — Starrah also developed the omnivorous taste of the playlist generation.
|
|
Robbins, born Jerry Rabinowitz, made creditable paintings and drawings as a teenager, and in his 20s he hit it big with "Fancy Free," set to a syncopated score by Leonard Bernstein, and evoked here through original footage and Robbins's sketches of jumping and prancing seamen.
|
|
In "Reprise" (2015), I follow the syncopated rhythm of patterned and solid forms; big and small vessels; fat and slender, alongside tall- and stump-throated vases; poignant silences; adjacent and far-apart echoing lines, as well as various-sized intervals between the medley of overlapping objects.
|
|
The recto and verso carry the conversation between word and image, whichever way it flows, and while Carr's images are frequently dense compared to the light touch of Schwartz's spacious and inviting poems, the two are syncopated in their respect for the otherness of our animal familiars.
|
|
"No 2 BeeF (slima)" finds the group braiding together a series of syncopated vocal samples, juxtaposing their cavorting interplay with a slinkily sinking bottom end; somehow, the results are agile and sluggish at the same time, and the result has its own disorienting buzz, to be sure.
|
|
Alternative rock bands do sometimes score hits, and this album has indeed achieved a certain degree of commercial success, but that doesn't make it a pop move per se — more like a funk move, with thick bass parts and serrated, syncopated rhythm guitar figures underlining the higher, squelchier synthesizers.
|
|
The concerto (1785), in D minor, opens with breathtaking urgency and suspense, as the upper strings push forward a quiet syncopated figure, the first violins sounding an insistent D. The air of mystery thus created carries through much of the work before dissipating completely in a jocular ending.
|
|
" The more drolly syncopated original version is an easy one to prefer, with an adorned Pete Rock sample that kicks, and a gleefully corny declaration over the break: "If it was already written, well then shall I not have scorn/A jazz musician died, Pan Am was born.
|
|
Reyes Martín, glorious in a tight red dress that maps her mature and voluptuous figure, sings and teases the dancer Jasiel Nahin—who answers with a battery of syncopated heel stamps and flips his jacket off one shoulder, like a bullfighter, setting his youthful bravura against her knowing sensuality.
|
|
Producer El Guincho, who has previously specialized in dense junkyard collages, here contributes a calmer, more exacting sound, as sparse electrobeats, syncopated handclaps, rapid guitar plucking, and weird overlaid samples — background cheers, revving motorcycles — provide a mechanical pop functionalism while also creating the illusion of an interactive live setting.
|
|
Instead, it turns the era's simple, white-walled asceticism to its advantage through abrupt shifts in scale and visual rhythms; a lively interchange of floor sculptures, table vitrines, and pylons of CRT monitors; and framed photos mounted in rows, columns, clusters, and grids, some slightly asymmetrical to deliver a syncopated kick.
|
|
"Make Me Feel" is an ebullient, bubblegum-funk groove, with contrasting verses to accentuate the kinetic motion: percussive snaps and wobbly keyboards alternate with a slower section whose ostinato vroom builds up theatrically to the regular beat again, culminating in repeated bursts of rapid drumfire syncopated with the rhythm guitar.
|
|
"That Girl Is You" unfolds from introduction to obsession over a four-chord syncopated guitar riff, with Mr. Matthews playing nearly every part in the studio, yet there's an improvisational volatility to his voice — breathy and cagey, then rounded and courteous, then agitated and scratchy, then shrieking in wild-eyed falsetto.
|
|
For devotees of Detroit's distinctly syncopated, uniquely swaggering sound, Friday at Panorama will be an opportunity to see a handful of the scene's most important artists do something rare in the United States: share a stage outdoors in the light of day instead of near dawn in a dark club.
|
|
"Man on the Moon" keeps things interesting with some funky syncopated rhythms, swooping strings, and a chorus that has a way of burrowing into your brain and staying there until you realize you've been singing to your shopping cart and everyone else in the grocery story is patiently trying to ignore you.

Fosse changed movies and Broadway forever, inventing an original American dance idiom: syncopated, tiny, isolated movements with shades of burlesque and showbiz with a capital S. "He added a dark sparkle, which is a hard thing to do in dance, to add negative feelings to something exuberant and vital," Mr. Wasson told me.

Critic's Notebook The Colombian songwriter Juanes, a superstar across Latin America, could easily have released his new album, "Mis Planes Son Amarte" ("My Plans Are to Love You"), on its own terms: as a set of a dozen gleaming, tuneful, good-natured songs about love, featuring his amiable voice and his strategically syncopated guitars.
|
|
Only midway through the ad is Mr. Trump heard from, as the soundscape takes on a syncopated, raucous feel: "We have a country that we're proud of, that we love, and that we're not going to lose," he says as a packed, screaming crowd and his lectern, framed by five American flags, are shown from different angles.
|
|
This music is indeed spare, lacking centered keyboards or rhythm guitars; in their place is an echo chamber filled with pingponging plinks, bleeps, squiggles, honks, vocal loops, symphonic airhorns, simulated a cappella singers going doo-doo and dum-dum, and any number of abrasive electronic scratches; even the token ballad soars and aches over incongruously syncopated squeals.

Since she moved to Portugal in 2017, she has been exploring the sounds of the Lusophone diaspora, as is audible on the most intriguing tracks on "Madame X". "Batuka" riffs on batuque, a traditional dance music from Cape Verde notable for its call-and-response structure, but adds syncopated handclaps and crescendoing drums to hypnotic effect.
|
|
As the placid, syncopated guitar riff that anchors the song merges with spacey keyboard air, Byrne informs his management team, waiting attentively for each subsequent PowerPoint slide, that "A straight line exists between me and the good thing/I have found the line and its direction is known to me"; "As we economize, efficiency is multiplied"; and so on.
|

After each game, the players and fans in the stadium have taken part in what is essentially a syncopated, overhead slow clap with chanting — Arnason called it "a Viking quest kind of thing that the fans came up with and is pretty cool," though it may have its roots in Scotland — which only adds to the atmosphere.
|
|
With diligence and a very large bank account, you could walk out of here with your own personal retrospective of the vital and challenging German painter Albert Oehlen: The Berlin dealer Max Hetzler is showing a syncopated abstraction of browns and yellows from 1990, while Edward Tyler Nahem of New Yorkhas a rowdier, stained work from 503, and Corbett vs.
|
|
Rounded out by the organist Jared Gold and the drummer McClenty Hunter (doubling on jingle bells), Stryker's Eight Track Band plays the tune at the same sauntering, medium tempo that Hathaway used; even without Hathaway's munificent voice or the boisterous horn section of the original, the tune's infectious, syncopated melody and the low-key virtuosity of this quartet's members are enough.
|

"With 'Sneakers,' I was thinking that if an AI were to take a purely conceptual idea of what is popular in music right now—which for that one was the syncopated rhythms of footwork, and some of the breaking glass sounds that you can hear in club music—it would try to recreate them, but wouldn't have the proper context for what went where," explains Douglas.
|
|
In musical terms — because so much of this album's meaning and information comes directly through its music — Shura's '80s fixation means that you hear her vocal phrasing in a confiding, syncopated staccato; heavy accents on the two and four beats; handclap sounds from a Roland TR-808 drum machine; synthesizer bass lines and clean guitar notes meted out in steady percolation, as another function of rhythm.
|
|
The horn section will chime in for a legato chorus, then snap shut for the harpsichord; the harpsichord ends and a distorted bass scrapes into the bottom of the mix; now here's a contorted, syncopated funk breakdown; tear it down, fall into a ballad; let that decay and open into a Tom & Jerry-style cartoon track, uncanny woodwind and strings for a silent cartoon.
|
|
You can hear Roxy Music in the rhythm of Nile Rodgers and Chic, the distorted energy of Sex Pistols, the syncopated delivery of Talking Heads, the showman and soundscape sides of U27, the eye makeup of Siouxie Sioux and the Banshees, the lavish videos of Duran Duran, the aggressive melodies of The Smiths, the mesmerizing atmospheres of Radiohead, the glamour of Scissor Sisters, the strut of Franz Ferdinand, the lushness of Todd Terje.
|
|
Then, he launched into a colossal track called "Gang" that will almost certainly be a sure-fire hit, with a spacey, syncopated tempo over minor-chord melodies and a walloping, bassy breakdown that is rumored to be produced by Toddla T. This exclusive first-listen, without the distraction of cellphones waving in the air, was the climax of the night, although the final song of the evening, a high-voltage rendition of—what else?
