A musical serial. Episode 27: Carnatic to electronic percussion (and beyond)
It is mostly intuitive, but Carnatic percussion reminds one of the electronic rhythms made by groups like Autechre. In this episode we stitch these two types of rhythm together. We move from age old rhythmic composition to modern algorhythmic composition. When this episode reaches calmer waters, we meet old friends like Plaid and Plastikman.
