Well, I'll be damned.
I am fascinated by the golden ratio--I based my senior thesis around it. Seeing the Amen break laid out like this is remarkable--makes me wonder how many other breakbeats have a similar ratio, and if this is why breakbeat is such a driving force behind so much popular music. | |

I like that Fibonacci numbers always describe like this
He considers the growth of an idealised (biologically unrealistic) rabbit population, assuming that:
* in the first month there is just one newly-born pair,
* new-born pairs become fertile from after their second month
* each month every fertile pair begets a new pair, and
* the rabbits never die

That article is a bunch of pretentious horseshit. They started on the snare though, not on the one. Also just considering the peaks, this is more about the Amen break's GROOVE TEMPLATE than the recording itself. It's the root a groove that's been part of R&B and funk for ages, with polyrhythms stacked over it as funk came into the picture.
