Hey, guys this will be kinda weird. But do
any of you have the movie Predator with
Arnold Swarzenegger? If you do, the next
time you get a chance put it on and when
it shows things from the predator's pers-
pective and you can hear his heartbeat,
see if you can figure out what time signature
his heart beats in. I just notced this yesterday.

Okay, strange I know but I have lots of time on
my hands today.... Embarassed

i found a little clip on you tube. Sounds like one measure of straight time but a funky swinging African / New Orleansy pattern. *--**-*-*-**----

Just found a wave file of it. i think it is a 7 broken up 3-2-2

So i googled it.
this guy is wrong!

THE HEARTBEAT - In theory (being a Predator junkie) this alien has either 3 hearts or 1 big one with three different ventricles. According to the DVD text commentary, John P. and Dave Stone spent an entire afternoon squishing spoonges in different liquid solutions to create what they thought would be an alien heartbeart. I take it that I would be next to impossible to recreate this. They also added in some real heartbeats. John P. then added a sweetening effect to the overall track. The heartbeat is actually a 4/4 rhythmic pattern (36 seconds)that loops twice, then brakes off into an alternate (but similar...if that makes any sense) 4/4 pattern (20 seconds) before getting back onto its regular rhythm. Trust me I've been listening to it for 21 years now.
