The Magical Slide (Clipped Slide)
In January 2021 I came up with the idea of composing a Slide with a missing beat, a tune form I’m calling a Clipped Slide. This changes the rhythm from 12/8 to 11/8, a metre more associated with Bulgarian music. To see what it might sound like I played around with the second half of the Bunbeg Slip Slide, changing its mode and moving some notes about to create this tune.
