Uni starts on monday. I have an assignment due in on tuesday that I just don't understand. We're supposed to analyze Density 21.5 by Edgar Varese. The funny thing is that Edgar Varese said that you shouldn't try and analyse his works...

This work is so difficult. It's writtin in 4/4 time, but as I don't have a recording, I'm writing it out in my midi program. However, there are bars where there are more beats in the bar than there should be. there are 5/4 bars and 9/8 bars, yet theyr'e not marked with a time signature change. It's so confusing that I've given up.

I'll ask the teacher on tuesday about it, and just have to hand it in late. I don't think there's any way that I'd get it done on time because it is a very difficult piece. Doesn't matter how late it is, just as long as I hand it in eventually.
