Genius Clicks - Polyrhythmic metronome APK

Genius Clicks is more than just your standard metronome. It is the perfect tool to help you improve your time feel and build up your confidence in polyrhythms.

Genius Clicks offers four metronome sounds you can control and set up separately. One of them works as your time keeper clicking on the beat and accenting the first beat on every bar, and the other three can be set up individually to keep time in different subdivisions or groupings to help you internalize the composite rhythms that occur and work on your polyrhythmic phrasing.



Polyrhythms, long part of the jazz vocabulary, were consolidated and brought to a whole new level in the early 60s by the masters of that era and are a core element of contemporary jazz improvisation and composition.
Genius Clicks focuses on the polyrhythms that are most common in the bebop era, from the 40s to the peak of the polyrhythmic game in jazz in the early 60s. Genius Clicks generates polyrhythms that result from combinations of 2, 3 and 4 adapted to different time signatures from 3/4 to 17/4.
