It’s funny; my mate and I just released an album of non-isochronous (uneven) IDM jams, using only Elektron gear (an AR1 and a DT) under the name Xuiqen.
I can honestly say that neither of us have ever been as productive as we are now with the Elektron workflow.
This is our video for the title track:
I believe it’s most easily related to/ counted as a 9 with a slight skip, as the core structure has a step-length of 35; It’s the presence of 5’s that challenges the listener’s resolve to feel it in 9, which is why we’ve elected to title it moiré.
As far as insights go, I’m not sure I have many, as everything was programmed into the sequencer (no usage of Strom as I unfortunately don’t have an iPad). Really, just know it’s more than possible, I actually prefer it (the elektron workflow) in a lot of ways.
