really experimental music 

this one is a piece based around the idea of a canon, where you have each part playing the same melody, but starting at a different point/being slower/etc

except... the starting points and speeds in this aren't based around barlines like they are traditionally! here they're based around complicated fractions and ratios:

@lizardsquid of course it'd be Nancarrow. I'll have to give that a listen later.

@lizardsquid listening to it now. This sounds sort of like the same idea as Stockhausen's Klavierstückes. Where those are completely arrhythmic and atonal, though, this has a rhythm, if a difficult one to follow, and a fair degree of tonality to it.

@lizardsquid I guess they'd be Klavierstücken, actually? I am not good at german.
