1-step pattern / changing tempo works

Idea of these works centered on a 1-step pattern with a changing tempo. The main task is to explore how various frequencies sound like, within the simple 1-step pattern, at different tempo rates. Lately I used Nord Drum 2 drum synthesizer, but first I discovered this phenomenon when playing Casio RZ-1, and the first album was recorded on it.

Extended idea of 1 step pattern was realized in the frames of KickGuitarSinRun audio-visual project. I used not only changing the tempo, but changing the tuning of electric guitar and pitch of sine wave plus there were electronic kick drum and performer who runs on the spot.

Also I composed works with live musicians and changing tempo in real time. 

For Wozzeck's album "6" it was 3 pieces for sine wave, bass guitar, acoustic drumset, synthesized bass and electronic drums. Patterns were changed in real time by me and by rhythm section independently, tempo was changing automatically during 15 minutes.

Another piece was written for Finnish ensemble Sähkökitarakvartetti and four electric guitars
