OOIOO – “Polacca” seems to express participatory discrepancies between the vocalization and guitar riff during the first minute or so and afterward quite a bit between the drums and guitar. It almost seems as if they don’t really line up tempo-wise. In the middle, all three kinds of mash together in a big bang and create quite a bit of conflict between voices, and coming to the end the drums slowly deteriorate into an organized disaster to climb to the finale at the end. Sly & The Family Stone – “Spaced Cowboy” is 4 minutes of pure groove and jammin’. The amount of slack allowed from the layback feel of the piece allows for discrepancies between different instruments- such as the bass and the guitar, and the yodeling vocals evening adding an interesting twist. The discrepancies in this piece, yet still present, provide a smooth flow and keep it pleasant to the ear whereas in the last piece some moments can seem overwhelming or disastrous. Patato and Totico – “Agua Que Va A Caer” initially provides a rhythm discrepancy between the vocal and bongos but still grooves in the Latin feel. The bongos in the background are mainly there to provide a consistent rhythmic flow with accents accordingly. More discrepancies can be heard later in the guitar solo as some of the rhythms don’t match up. A big participatory discrepancy in this piece is heard in the main chorus melody “Agua Que Va A Caer” sung by the chorus in the background. Many of the voices heard aren’t very melodically or harmonically inclined and provide quite a dissonance between the voices. Yet still, it isn’t repulsive to the ear and helps provide the feel of the piece.
