47.94This is an important arranging distinction
You now know at least three fundamentally different ways to create rhythmic complexity:
Change the meter
5/4.
Use additive grouping
2+2+2+3 in 9/8.
Keep the meter but contradict it
3+3+2 or displaced motifs inside 4/4.
These sound related superficially but require different mental skills.
