badils report that using this name was mostly influenced by a song called “In the House of Tom Bombadil” by Chris Thile of Nickel Creek. The song is playful and melodic, mimicking the cadence of character Tom Bombadil who nearly always spoke or sang in an old English meter of 7-beat lines broken into groups of 4 and 3. Thile used septuple meter – seven notes of equal duration in a measure, making the time
signature in the song vary between 7/8 and 4/4.
