Time Manipulation - Section 2 - Polyrhythmic Patterns

In Section 2 of Time Manipulation, new patterns are formed using some of the basic rhythmic figures seen in Section 1. This is done in a musical way, using polyrhythms that are ubiquitous in many musical traditions, as well as in current styles.
  • These exercises can be worked on in a variety of ways.
  • Start by working on each pattern separately.
  • I suggest various ways of sequencing the patterns on the page, for example by playing each bar twice, four or eight times..

  • In this example, each pattern is played twice.

This exercise can be worked on with my innovative Pattern Morphing concept.

16 patterns can become 256 patterns of 2 measures.
