鈥淩hythm is very important to me as a drummer. I鈥檓 interested in unusual time signatures, so set out to see what a piece in 11/8 would sound like, as I鈥檇 never heard one before. I worked out the basic rhythm sitting in the back of the car on the way into Oxford. From there, I added the melody, which was improvised before being written down, and then built up the rest of the instrumentation.鈥�
