Wow, I am mesmerized. I am just getting used to 16 measures of 2/4 time. This is great.

Amazing! It sounds somewhat reminiscent (beat-wise?) to some West African Hallam (ngoni) music I've heard. You certainly have the unusual timings down pat!

I LOVE this! The first "bridge" at 1:50 especially. Something here reminds me of Trout Mask Replica of all things!
I've heard that Thelonious Monk called the bridge of a song the "inside".
