Time Manipulation - Section 2 - Polyrhythmic Patterns
In Section 2 of Time Manipulation, new patterns are formed using some of the basic rhythmic figures seen in Section 1. This is done in a musical way, using polyrhythms that are ubiquitous in many musical traditions, as well as in current styles.
- These exercises can be worked on in a variety of ways.
- Start by working on each pattern separately.
- I suggest various ways of sequencing the patterns on the page, for example by playing each bar twice, four or eight times..

- In this example, each pattern is played twice.
This exercise can be worked on with my innovative Pattern Morphing concept.
16 patterns can become 256 patterns of 2 measures.
