I Need Help Figuring Out This Time Signature

[Uffe von Lauterbach]

This is such a cool track, but I can't figure out what the time signature is, and I've been thinking about transcribing it for quite a while now. I'm not all that great with figuring out odd time signatures. If you know how, could you help me out? Does this track have multiple time signatures?

Honestly I had to slow it down to work it out but to me it sounds like 11/8 (split into 6 then 5).

This was my thought. I just thought 6/8 then 5/8 alternating but it is hard to tell. Lots of stuff going on that feel really syncopated (to me). Was hard to find the pulse.

Cool! Thank you! I counted 11/8, but then there were some parts that broke off into a different time signature, so it was really throwing me off. I thought I even counted 5/8 at one point, but again, it's jumping everywhere. I'd much prefer a single odd time signature rather than one that's most likely moving around often, just because that would simplify things a bit to transcribe. Oh well. I'll have to do my best with this if I can.

I considered 3/4 at one point. I think where the rhythm sort of "slows down" for lack of a better word. Anyway, thank you guys for your help! I really appreciate it.

i wouldn't have figured this out easily...it's too quick to count the 8ths for me, in my head... but if i count in 4ths, it clearly goes up to 6 beats with the 6th cut short.

so yeah, sounds like eleven!
