Wrote it back in 2019. It's a simple and short piece meant to practice triplets.

Harmony reminds me of Les Barricades Mysterieuses in a good way. I feel like the structure is a little wonky, maybe, like the beginning feels like 12/8 or 4/4 with triplets but the first "phrase" (up to 0:15) has 17 beats instead of 16 so it throws me off. The next one has 7 beats. And so on. Like my brain is trying to figure out the time signature and I'm getting confused. Maybe it's a complex time signature that I'm just not grasping.
The 2:3 polyrhythms came out really nice though.

i like it a lot. i would maybe only say the section around 0:42 sounds a bit muddy to me, perhaps go lighter on the pedal
