I think I understand what you mean, and the theoretical term is called
polyrythyms (the spelling is probably wrong). Try tapping out a triple
meter with your right hand (1 2 3) and at the same time tapping 1 2
(evenly) with your left. The 1's should match up. If you get larger than
that (5 over 4) you will experience 'wrap around' and the downbeats should
match up every now and then.
Sorry for getting technical....
Now a question:
What sort of sound is Chimera? There is a copy of a white and black
labeled vinyl (valley of the spirits possibly) at my local store and I'm
curious. Is it worth 10$?
