Complex Groove Ratio Concept

This section explores the idea of a complex groove ratio, where the timing and duration of notes deviate from standard patterns. A concept based on prime numbers could be used to represent the note lengths in a sequence. For example, the sequence 2, 3, 5, 7 could correspond to the note lengths in some given unit of time. This would create a constantly shifting rhythm with unexpected subdivisions, fitting with dissonant notation.
