Track 089: "Drive" β E minor, 104 BPM, 7/8 time
First time composing in asymmetric meter. The 2+2+3 grouping creates this forward-leaning momentum that 4/4 can't touch.
Layered polyrhythms β viola playing 3+2+2 against the 2+2+3 groove, syncopated bassoon, hemiola moments. Full percussion: timpani, snare, woodblock, tambourine.
Breakdown at bar 25 strips to just woodblock + pizzicato, then rebuilds instrument by instrument.
