In honor of today's date, After the Burial has uploaded the track "Pi (The Mercury God Of Infinity) 2011 Extended Mix."

"The snare is on beat three in 4/4 time at 120 bpm. A crash cymbal accents beat one of the first measure in 4/4. It is repeated every four measures. Now this is where it gets tricky: the china cymbal. It's hard to feel the breakdown in Pi at 120 bpm, and this is mostly due to the china cymbal, which is playing a 4 over 3 (4/3) dotted-eighth note ostinato that begins on the 'E' of one. Confused? Check it out: A quarter note is equal to one beat in 4/4 time, but so are two eighth notes, or 4 sixteenth notes. It's all about subdividing note values. When you count a measure of 4/4 in quarter notes, it's: 1, 2, 3, 4. When counting in eighth notes, it's: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +. (a plus sign refers to the spoken count 'and' ex. 'One and two and three and four and') When counting in sixteenths, it's: 1 E + A 2 E + A 3 E + A 4 E + A. (Spoken: 'One e and a two e and a three e and a four e and a'). So when I say the china starts on the 'E' of one, I'm referring to the spoken counting value assigned to the second 16th note in a quarter note blah blah blah blah blah..."
