Those are my beats (for aesthetic reasons i ended up adding a stretch of 2, so everything's twice as long; bar length 2 * 9.8125 seconds).

There are two voices playing these beats:

↻ soundcloud.com/ecut/aeolian-ha...ng-of-ecut-free -- impossible to count the countless hours of fun this recording has provided me. thanks, soundcloud.com/ecut !


Disquiet Junto Project 0050: -…….–.-..-…-
This week’s project explores Morse Code for its rhythmic content. The instructions are as follows: Select a word or phrase. Encode that word or phrase by the Morse method. Record a rhythmic foundation in which the dash is represented by a long beat and the dot by a brief one. Use that rhythmic foundation as a loop for the length of your track, at the speed you desire — speed can vary over the length of the recording. Record accompanying drone/melodic material that takes the underlying rhythm as its compositional foundation.
