Cats are hilarious sometimes when they’re being super-apprehensive. It’s like watching a YouTube video on .25 speed. Meanwhile, dogs are like, “Hey, what’s this?! Check it out! Scan for food!”
At this point, my theory is that the Evanses are putting their characters into all of these really absurd situations because they’re just sick of them all and enjoy messing with ’em.
Odd time signatures were one of my favorite things in band class, too! They can make things interesting and keep you on your toes. I remember one piece, though, where my particular instrument had a “Tacit” for like 43 measures. And those measures changed time signatures all over the place. Forget the counting; it just ended up being a “feel” sort of thing to remember when to come back in, lol.
I didn’t say “difficult.” I said “absurd.”
