when you have odd time signature songs, do you intentionally make them odd time or do you write melodies that Happen to be in odd time? as primarily a drummer i find if i come up with some cool odd time signature grooves on drums, then based on it i can think of odd time melodies more easily above it
i never get goal oriented with time signatures. i use time signatures to represent what i've written, not write something to represent a time signature. writing something to represent a time signature would seem like something that would be appropriate as part of the time-signature education process, which i currently am not involved in at this stage in my life, although i admit there may be some fun to be had there
