Extremely interesting stuff! (As are a lot of the early minimalist works)

!!!***SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT***!!! I also did a similar thing on one of my tracks - it's hopefully going to be released soon on a complilation LP from Resource Records (Distributed via Kudos???). The track ('phaxe2') repeats a phrase on the left channel, with a slightly truncated version being played in the right channel - this gives rise to some interestin polyrhythmic effects - well, I thought so :-). john..
