I don't write a lot of time but I follow you. I'm working on a thing now I call serialized rhythm where rhythm patterns of different length beat off of each other until thay fall back to the start point. So a four bar pattern in 4/4 and a 9 beat pattern generate 36 bars of rhythm, all different. "Sounds cool! Do you have an example of that somewhere?" - Esteban Manchado Velázquez In the piano left hand on the head of this piece, "Even Dozen", all chords are spaced apart as if they were dotted quarters. That is a beat and a half apart. I adjusted the duration of the notes from stacatto eighth notes to legato dotted quarters. https://archive.org/details/hl2015-11-13 Serialized rhythm carries that a step further with two or more regular rhythms of different durations that repeat creating a more complex and longer rhythmic pattern. I'm working on that now in my piece "Three Thirds". (No, not all of my song titles are math jokes.) I am still working on the chart for "Three Thirds" and I hope to get it recorded at a recital next fall. "Three Thirds" is my first piece that I am writing for what I call a Jazz Percussion Ensemble, a jazz small group where over half the instruments are percussion and there are at least two pitched percussion instruments. If you think this is inspired by Frank Zappa, you're right. So in "Three Thirds" I am scoring for drums, djembe, marimba, vibes, piano, bass, tenor, and bari. The drum kit repeats every 4 bars and the djembe repeats every 9 beats for a 36 bar pattern. Three 12 bar sections each modulating up by a major third. Yes, I am a theory gearhead and a mathematician as well as a jazz composer.
