For anyone else interested you can listen to "Dali" on Lala. Here is the link: http://lala.com/ziam

After the first set, I over heard drummer Ali Jackson talking about the 13/8 meter of "Dali." Apparently is was written as 4+4+5. But as Ali said if you have to count it you'll get lost. Vincent Gardner confirmed that you needed to internalize the rhythm, but once you had it the groove was infectious. Ali mentioned that as the band learned the tune he put a clave-like pattern to it which seemed to help. In that pattern you'll count 3+3+3+4 or 123,123,123,12,12 (Stress the ones and you'll have it). Though after the show, Ted Nash stressed original pattern counted 1234,1234, 12345. I didn't feel it that way though. I'm not sure if others did.

During the intermission, everyone was talking about the odd meter of the last tune the played. I had my own way of counting it, but Ali Jackson the drummer of the group gave me some cool insight on it backstage between sets. Before I give it away, I'll ask: How were you counting the 13/8 meter for Ted Nash's composition "Dali?"
