Two wheels tick at the same speed around different circumferences. They drift apart, fight the grid, and — this is the whole point of the music this nods to — come home. Every sound here is synthesized in your browser; the songs it gestures at appear only as numbers, which belong to everyone.
Press the wheel to set it turning.
Polymeter is arithmetic with feelings. A riff that loops in twenty-five while the band holds sixteen realigns every four hundred ticks — and the distance between those meetings is where the tension in this music lives. This engine plays that arithmetic with clicks of its own making: no recordings, no samples, nothing borrowed. The patterns it ships are the time signatures of songs we love, stated as numbers — facts, which belong to everyone.
