An Inauguration towards Contemplation

Welcome to The 68Society!

We are so glad you could join us this day!


Through the recent history of popular music, general society has continued to degrade its way into accepting the styles and sounds of quickly made, and cheap to produce music. Aside from the grace of differentiating key signatures, much of the pop repertoire has settled into a preset, repeatable pattern. Inclusive in this pattern is to write songs in Common time, or  44
The merits of this time signature are not to be diminished, however its excessive use in the current repertoire has caused its individual value to decrease. Over and over, more songs are being written to conform to this model. 
When an artist breaks from this mold, and branch his or her self into the realm of  34, one can assume that the thought and foresight of that song was greater than its relative peers. 
However, when the rare instance occurs that a song has been crafted in the signature of  68 it achieves a higher standard of  being; a sense of life that can only be captured in the ever moving, ever living time signature.

And that brings us here today, to the founding of The 68Society.

Here, we value above all the merits of 68. We love the difference of it, and the life it gives. We understand the rarity it entails, and appreciate the style it composes.
