The discrepancies I noticed in “Polacca” were in the rhythm. The voices and the drums are technically moving at the same tempo, but it feels as though the drums are moving at a quicker pace, as they are sounding a fraction of a moment before it feels like they should. That quick fraction of a moment serves as that empty space for the individuality to live.
The discrepancy I noticed in “Spaced Cowboy” was between two different sections of the piece. At about the 1:25 mark, the pulse and overall feel of the music seem to completely shift, feeling almost like two separate songs which have come together. The moment of discrepancy last for a bit longer than just that specific moment, as the voice seems to fit better with the second section, even during the first section, so that discrepancy lasts for that whole moment of overlap.
Lastly, “Agua Que Va A Caer” seems to have some discrepancy in the intonation and the rhythm with the entrance of the supporting voices. It sounds to be closer to multiple people singing the same piece at the same time, rather than a group of people putting most of their focus on vocal blending as is often a focus in ensemble music.
