Wouldn't that depend on the tempos in qn? I'm sure there's a school of
minimalism where you take 1 phrase and repeat it at two tempos slightly
out (like 1 bpm or so?) - the "music" comes from the
in-phase/out-of-phase stuff that goes on over time...
Could also be fun to run, say 120bpm vs 90bpm maybe? (Nice simple
fractions.)
Might give it a shot - see what happens.
Cheers, Jon
