I’m going to explain the concept of irrational time signatures and how this seemingly complex subject can be utilised by music producers and beat makers on a digital audio workstation (DAW). Rather than on a score sheet where it is more commonly used in the case of more traditional music composers.

I decided to do a bit of Oppenheimer online beat making. By that I mean I took one of the original soundtracks of the film Oppenheimer and did a bit of sample chopping and flipping to make a Hip Hop beat out of it. Given the Oscars 2024 aren’t that far away, the likes of Oppenheimer is being talked about a lot. I can’t deny the quality of the soundtrack from what I’ve heard. So it seemed like a good opportunity to take something in the current sphere and create something out of it.
