Thanks a lot for the response! It's actually kind of a style I've been experimenting with. I've found that purposefully coming up with "close" rhythms and then building around that causes me to think creatively about the purpose behind the music more, as a sort of corrective mechanism which gives meaning to an otherwise "meaningless" thing. If the "question" posed melodically is already rhythmically correct, then it leaves little work for the the rest of the instrumentation to do in terms of creating a cohesive atmosphere for that distorted voice to live in so to speak.
