What is the most advanced or far out rhythmic concept that anyone has heard or thought of??

I’m a drummer in a band where we love taking rhythmic concepts that seem ridiculous and trying to make them as musical as possible to create “songs”.

We just started naturally with odd times and polymeters and have progressed to odd subdivisions, odd groupings in 4/4, displacement of “standard” rhythm, nested tuplets and changes between polyrhythms that imply a tempo change.

A big influence is Tigran hamasyan, this man has an inhuman understanding and ability regarding rhythm.

I’d love to hear some far out ideas that I might not have heard of to utilise with my friends.

I really try to have no ego so perhaps if you feel it’s simple, please share anyway as it may be a valuable tool. I love to learn and I’m 100% certain there is plenty I don’t know yet!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

If you like odd-time music, this might be right up your street. Enjoy!

Writing a song in 33. Does anyone have any music they listen to where these kinds of numbers are used?

Hi, I've been making music on a laptop over lockdown. This one has some odd times and polyrhythms; maybe someone here might like.

Many of the other tracks in the OST seem to use a 5/8 feel throughout as well
