... or turn off the accent and just have clock going as tempo guide then making it 9/16, 6/8, 5/4 divisions or whatever varied all over the place.the clock is a way to put everyone on the same page. and it IS possible to get funky within a steady beat. shut off the click track and listen to your fellow musicians, for example.
To play along later to beats you did you still have to sense the groove, or you are lost.
Our brain looks for patterns to anticipate what is coming, and it cannot be only surprises, or listener will not see it as funky anyway.
- placing beats a little late is enough to get it groovy
- but not too much or magic is gone
But I guess everybodys journey is different....
