Experimental phase music, an assignment for Electro-Acoustic using Reason 3.0 and featuring two Subtractor and Matrix Pattern Sequencer modules using three patterns each and various Filter I curve effects. Named so because in the individual tracks you will hear the pattern repeat eight times, then seven, then six, etc.
While every sixteenth note is lined up, the downbeats are supposed to be out of sync. It is not until 0:24 that the beat of the two lines comes together, only to resume weaving in and out of rhythmic structure until the end, where throughout the song even where the pattern starts up again is varied in terms of how tight or loose I make it. The last repetition (one) is meant to have an uneven pattern rep in the bass synth so as to match the length of the even drum. And the stinger bump at the end is just for fun. :P
Hope some of you enjoy this at least,I actually sort of like this one the more I listen to it this really didn't work for me hence scraps.

The only thing is that by itself this seems so repetitive. I'm still not clear on the whole 8>1 thing... However, from what I understand, if you took out the repetitiveness, it would defeat the whole purpose. I still think you could put a melody in. After the first few measures, I always expect one to start. Its like a track or two is missing.
Eh, when you only have two tracks with which to work, your options are a bit limited. When I get a chance, I'll record "Whistling" for ya, which is specifically engineered towards a Steve Reich-style method of composition that enforces a single motif of melody in a manner that uses repetition and rest space to structure its compositional variety. I'll explain more when I get it sampled. :P
And to answer the post below, if you listen to the tracks individually, you should hear the pattern repeated eight, then seven, then six, etc. times over, hence the title. They're really meant to be heard individually, although if you hear the piece as a whole, you'll find the beat does come together at 0:24, another testamant to Steve Reich music. Yay academic music. :P

Also, Its hard for me to keep track of the two lines as I listen. I either have to focus on one or the other, and the lower pitched one tends to command my attention. Its hard to listen to it as a whole.
I once heard that there were two ways people listened to musc - one was like hearing the tracks as individuals and the other was hearing the piece as a whole, not being able to separate the tracks. I can do both if I concentrate on one or the other. However, with this piece, it's hard to hear it as a whole.
...if that makes sense...
