Syncopation at L5PCAC Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TFreck: The cache is damaged beyond repair and the log containers keep going missing. Sadly, I've decided to let this one go into archival status. I hope to replace it with something more muggle-proof

Geocache Description:


syn·​co·​pa·​tion | \ ˌsiŋ-kə-ˈpā-shən: : a temporary displacement of the regular metrical accent in music caused typically by stressing the weak beat.

This cache placement is dedicated to ragtime musician Blind Willie McTell with permission from the L5PCAC. *Cache can be sought at any time but use stealth to avoid detection by muggles in the area*. Congrats to FTF: emty!

After your treasure hunt, head over to the installation of the Blind Willie mosiac near the intersection and marvel at the restoration, which used the Japanese repair style of Kintsugi. 

"Syncopation has been an important feature of twentieth and twenty-first-century music, predominantly popular in music covering African-American tradition, from ragtime music of 1920s New York, to jazz, funk, reggae, rock, and hip-hop.

Syncopation grabs the attention of the listener. It shocks the ear by playing on awareness and expectation of straight rhythms. Surprisingly changing the pattern or stressing off beats enhances variation, character, and new harmonies to the music." -musicgateway.comBlind Willie Mosaic
